10-10-01 Today we got up at six o'clock. I was really tired too. Amanda and her 4 year old brother are getting ready for school. Amanda's 10 and in the firth grade. Ryan is 4 and is in preschool. She made me a bed in the lid of my shoe box. She puts me in a drawer to sleep on my bed and gave me a dog for the week. She also made a clothesline for my clothes. Amanda has a dog named Charlie. I met four of Amanda's friends Cody, Jessica, Carrie, and Allison. I went to school with Amanda and there was a fire drill. Love, Shirley
