Day 1
My name is Miranda Smith. I am a wife to Alex and a mother to my two beautiful children Disha and Matt. Alex and I tend quite often to fight, but because I am better with words I always win. We can go on and on with each other for at least an hour, not screaming though, and just about silly things that aren't really of any importance. My daughter Disha is secretely my favorite child. We talk about everything together and in secret I spoil her. She is very smart and a kind hearted child. I love her with all of my heart.

Day 2
My son Matt and I get into a lot of almost yelling arguments with each other that are even worse than when I fight with my husband. He says and does silly things that irritate me until the point where I feel like exploding!!! Because he is my son though, I know that I can never hurt him extremely bad. I'm pretty sure though if he wasn't my son I would hurt him.

**Day 3.**
Today my family and I are officially chose the house that we're going to buy and eventually move into to. I'm so excited! I'm not really quite sure how the move there will be. What I mean is how chaotic it will be. We all know that the house is in a wonderful neighborhood.

I have a green one, Disha has a pink one, Alex has an orange one, and Matt has a red one. Originally Disha wasn't going to get a cellphone, but inside the store as soon as she saw my phone she through a total fight. I swear that she turned back into a five year old!!! She was stomping her fight, crying, screaming, and then to everyone's surprise she threw herself onto the ground!!! I was so mad!! At first I was just going to walk away, but a whole bunch of other mothers started giving my stink eyes. So, I quick discussed it with Alex and he said that he would give her anything to just shut up! So she got a cell phone.

**Day 8.**
My husband Alex I think is gradually starting to become more of a better father to Disha and a better husband to me. Matt is his favorite child so he always lets Matt bully Disha, but not today, today he actually stood up for Disha and made Matt feel salty. Matt and I are still arguing over stupid things, but our arguments aren't as bad as they were before. My baby girl Disha is still perfect and better than Matt though and I still love her more.

This is a list of what my family is going to eat for the week! **
 * Day 9.

Day 10.
Today the whole family went to see a movie. This is the first time in a long time that we have all gone together because of everyone's busy schedules. The movie we saw was Alvin and the Chipmunks! It was a really cute movie. I could tell that Disha really liked it, I liked it too! Matt was just playing games on his cellphone throughout the whole movie and Alex ended up falling asleep! Alex falling asleep wouldn't have been that disasterous if he didn't snore while he sleeps. Everyone kept looking back at us and shushing him, which didn't really make sense to me because he was asleep... Anyways, I woke him up one time, but after he fell asleep the next time I couldn't wake him!! The only thing that did eventually wake him was when the lights turned on in the theater when the movie was over! It was the most embarrassing moment in my life.
