My guest blogger is my daughter, Kayla. She's a talented young writer. This will give you an inside look into her thoughts.
Blank page. Cursor blinking. I can't do this. This is boring. Music would help. I'm in the mood for Les Mis. This is such a pretty song.
"There is a castle on a cloud, I like to go there in my sleep..."
Oooh, sleep...I should have gotten more sleep last night. I should Facebook Megan to ask what I should bring to that sleepover. What? Facebook changed their look again? Gosh, all these statuses about snow...oh, wait, it really IS snowing. Cool, what else? Wow, cool picture of the ocean. I loved when we went to the ocean. It was so pretty and I couldn't help but see God through it. My brothers, haha, ran right in with their clothes on. Oh Katie posted some quote. Who has time to read all that? Well, it;s probably something motivational. Why did I come on Facebook again? Oh, brother, I can't remember. Oh, look at that cute picture of a kitty. I wish I had a kitty! And all these statuses complaining about homework. Oh, wait, I'm supposed to be doing homework! Focus, Kayla, focus! But it's such an empty screen. So boring. But you have to get this done by tomorrow! Okay, okay, but at this pace, I'll never get done. Okay, here, I'll make myself write a paragraph before I can check Facebook again.
Okay, done with the first paragraph. Now I can finally check Facebook again. Well, nothing new, really. Oh, look! Leah's little brother baked some cookies. Wait, what time is it? Oh, gosh, it's 2:00 and I haven't eaten yet. I'd better go make a sandwich. What should I put on it? I'll just use the turkey mom bought yesterday. When is she getting back from her errands? Where's the calendar? What's today's date? Wait, is tomorrow really the 7th? Oh, no, I was supposed to have my current events report done by then. I guess Disney changing the picture of Cinderella probably doesn't count as a current event, does it? Well, I'll turn on a news station. Maybe they'll talk about a current event. There's just weather on these stations. Oh, here's a station playing my favorite song! Wait, is that the garage door? Mom's home! Oh, no, she'll ask me what I've done while she was gone. Did a lot of stuff. Didn't finish anything. Uh, oh, here she is.
"Kayla, I'm home! Oh, there you are. Look. I bought you different colored bins to put all your school stuff in, since you can't keep track of it. I also bought you this cool notepad that you can hang up, since lists seem to help you focus. I know how the phrase 'out of sight, out of mind' is so true for you, so I got you these neon Post-Its that you can hang up around the house to remind you to do your different chores. What have you gotten done while I've been gone? And why is there turkey on the counter?"
