I helped Miciah clean out her room today. If you remember, Miciah's room is a combination craft room / bedroom. She loves it because she loves crafts and she can do them late into the night. She thinks I don't know, but I do, and it's cool.
We spent 3 hours cleaning. Ended up with 7 garbage bags of stuff to throw or give away. Incredible. She now has way more space and way less crap. Hurray!
And best of all, I found a treasure amidst the crap. (I found a few, actually. Like a letter my Mom wrote me during my freshman year of college. I read it and cried. And a letter saying that I was going to meet President Hinckley. Very cool. I kept them both.) It's this:
If you look really closely, you can see that Miciah wrote her name and then "DON'T LOOK IN HERE!" Normally when it says that, I don't actually look, cause I get it. But this was an Elations Heathier Joints Journal. My curiosity was piqued. Here's what it says, word-for-word (Miciah's words in blue):
The boys are so stupid. I don't like them today.
I HATE MOM AND DAD! I HATE MOM! I HATE MOM! I HATE MOM! I HATE MOM! I HATE MOM! I HATE MOM! I HATE MOM! I HATE MOM I HATE MOM! I HATE MOM! I HAE MOM! I Hate Mom! I HATE MOM! I HATE MOM! I REALLY HATE MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I REALLY DO! I ALWAYS WILL! NO MATTER WHAT SHE DOES! I HATE MOM!!!!!!!
The longer I read it, the more I smiled. It's not dated, so I have no idea when she wrote it or why, but I can relate.
Love that Miciah.

I love the contrast between the title "Elations" and the actual text. Brilliant. You couldn't have planned it better.
I hate when people write LOL, but I'm actually laughing out loud. Not so much at what Miciah wrote (but seriously, what girl hasn't written that in a journal?) but at your reaction. The other day Princess P called me stupid and it really hurt my little feelers. Like really. And then I read this and think...yeah I should probably lighten up. Funny.
