it's saturday! i wanted pantakes for breakfast but mom would only agree to make waffles. ok ok. i ate the banana cinnamon waffles and they were good. we had a long slow morning and took our time getting ready. eventually everyone was ready and we all got in the car. it was hot. thank goodness for airconditioning.
dad drove us around town this  morning. first stop was a yard sale. we got there kind of late, all the good stuff was already gone. next stop was a shop called big lots- they sell a bit of everything, kind of like wilkos but trashier. the store is not very organized and seems beat down. i went in there with dad while mom hit the last day of the kid's consignment sale- 1/2 off. mom came and found us when she was done. she had a bag full of stuff- but no toys. i saw a toy in big lots i realllllly reallllly wanted. it's a green garbage truck from toystory3. it talks and it's a garbage truck. dad wouldn't let me get it so i tried mom. mom said- $12? no freaken way. i was pretty sad about that but mom made me a deal- if i could find it in a charity shop, she would buy it. ok then.
we left big lots and headed to today's adventure stop- the natural history museum of florida. eye roll. actually it wasn't too bad. there was all kinds of things to look at and some buttons to push. if i get to push buttons, i am happy. they had a penny squishing machine and mom let me do one. it costs 51cents to squish a penny. mine has dinosaur bones on it. the museum is pretty cool and i will definitely go back. we stopped at the gift shop on the way out. mom got me a periodic table of the elements placemat. i really just wanted a magnet.
it was lunch time so dad drove us to the burger bar restaurant we've eaten at a few times. we parked the car and there were so many people we couldn't get in the door. mom took a look in and said- no way are we eating here today. the place was packed. i was a bit upset. i wanted my yoghurt treat. i started shouting at mom and she was shouting at me. dad drove us to a burrito place instead. i continued to shout at mom- i want treats for lunch! i want treats for lunch! mom was not happy with me. there was crying. mom and dad ordered food. i got to eat some corn chips and share a soda with dad. well i kind of shared, i ended up drinking pretty much all of it. even though it was sugar free and caffeine free, it did have some fake colors in it and chemicals. i went a bit nutty when i got home.
we finished lunch and dad drove us home just in time for naps. i ran around the house and shouted at mom- i don't want a nap. dad just messed around on the computer. next thing i know mom is telling me grdad and jammma are on the computer and want to talk to me. i zoomed out of my room. i really miss grdad and jammma. i almost cried when i saw them on the screen. i couldn't talk for a bit. the skype kept messing up but i did managed to have a little conversation with grdad and jammma before a storm came and mom shooed me off to bed again. i never had a nap. i just messed around in my room. bad things happen when i don't have naps.
i gave mom and dad a hard time the rest of the day. there was lots of grouchy all around. i've just been bouncing off the walls, couch, floor everything really. i can't keep still or play quietly. mom says i am totally going to bed early. we'll see about that.
