Dere Direy,
my mummy did toll me
Not to kiss the bran new kitty
It wazn't my fault
when I Dropped him on hiz hed
even tho he got all hissy
Its not as if he's ded!

Dear diary,
There's this awful boy in class
Who acts like such an ass!
Yesterday behind the sheds
He tried to kiss me on my head!
I told him if he didn't stop annoying me
I'd have to use my knee! (heehee)
Today I'm gonna move my desk
Boys are all such smelly pests!

Dearest Diary,
I'm in love with a divinely gorgeous man
His name is George Coullahan
Last night we went out for a walk
Didn't do much but talk
Until he took me home
He asked if he could phone
When we kissed I thought my heart would melt
It's the most wonderful feeling I've ever felt

1991
Dear diary,
We've been blessed with the birth 
Of a blue eyed angel
We're counting our blessings
That our wishes were finally heard
George is in awe with the wonders of birth
Though to you dear diary I'll admit....
It did rather hurt.....
Today is the best day of my life
I thank god for the day 
I became dear George's wife

Dear Diary,
I'm feeling very tired today
So George took the kids out to play
I decided to spend the day in bed
If only the pain would stop pounding my head
I don't know what ails me for sure
My back is feeling quite sore
The last time I felt bad as this
Was when I conceived our last kid

2011
Dearest diary,
I've had the most wonderful day
The grand kids came over to play
They're all such dear little souls
When they're here I don't feel quite so old
There was only one moment of strife
I had to give Indeya's bottom a wee swipe
She kept insisting on carrying the poor cat
By his head and he gave her a scratch
I told her a couple of times
Holding him like that was not very kind
She's such a stubborn little miss
Yet so sweet when she fixed him with a kiss
