got up this morning and dad was already gone. fair enough, i did have a bit of a lie in. it's kind of cold this morning. brrrr. i was all snuggled down in my blankies. when i finally dragged myself out of bed mom fed me some crunchie pillows. i watched a bit of tv and then it was time to use skype. mom turns it on for me and then i take over.
i clicked on the green  phone and called grdad and jammma in england. they answered and i had a nice chat with them. aunty amy and eleanor were there too so i got to talk with them too. it was very fun. i don't get to chat with aunty amy much. i wish i could have talked longer but mom said it was time to go do stuff. so i clicked the phone and turned skype off.
mom got me dressed and we jumped in the car. she drove us to the art supply store. the pink tag maker is at the art supply store! i walked around with mom looking at different things. she stopped and put a few things in her basket. nothing very exciting, just things for different projects. finally we made it to the tag maker section. the pink one was there and i showed mom all the different buttons and told her what they all do. i asked her to take me to a wishing well so i could wish for a tag maker. mom said- no. you don't need a $50 tag maker and i have no idea where there is a wishing well around here. sometime my mom is not much fun.
we stood in line for a bit. there was a little girl in front of us with her mom. the little girl kept touching stuff. every time she touched something i told my mom. look, look, that girl is touching things! and mom told me to stop tattling.
we finally paid and that was that. mom drove us home, except we didn't go home. mom made a turn and we ended up at a park! she parked the car and i said- i've been hoping for this! we've been to this park before but not for ages. there were loads of kids running around. i ran around too. i had lots of fun. mom took me over to the baseball field and i had to run around the entire field. like i've said before- baseball fields are big.
when i was done running the field mom gave me a hi five and we went back to the kid's park. i ran around the park and climbed ladders and went down slides. run run run. mom said it was time to go. but i don't want to go! mom said- if you run around the baseball field again, we can stay a little longer. I WANT TO RUN AROUND THE FIELD AGAIN! so mom and i went back to the field and i ran around it again. i got another hi five and back to the kid's park it was. i ran around and went up and down slides. every few minutes mom asked if i was hungry yet- NO! so she said- run around some more then. and i did. finally mom said- time to go so i followed her back to the car. i am kind of hungry.
got home right at samich time. mom made me some peanut butter samiches and i ate them up.
now it's just time for hanging out and watching my shows. mom says we're watching educational things today.

nothing exciting about today. i'm in a grumpity mood. mom dragged me off grocery shopping this morning. we didn't really need much, just some bread and bananas. even our shopping is boring today.
on the way home mom turned into this parking lot and we got out of the car- at a park! who knew there was a park here? the playground equipment was all wet though, how is this fun? i can't use the slide, i can't use the swings. meh.
mom and i walked around. we took a path through the woods. we crossed over a little stream. i stopped and tossed leaves in the water to watch them float. mom said she could see little fishes but i didn't see any. on the other side of the stream was a field. mom tried to get me to run across the field but i wasn't interested. so we just went back to the bridge and i tossed more leaves in the water.
i followed mom back through the woods to the car. she drove me home. it was lunch time when we got back so i got my usual peanut butter samiches. mom said since i'm so grumpity today it was nap time. boooo. i got blueberry and fishy. we curled up and had a little sleep.
i'm in a little better mood now. going to hang out and work on my translator.

it's monday. i had a chat on skype this morning with grdad. i would have talked longer but mom said it was time to get the shopping done.
mom drove us to a charity shop. we looked at things but didn't find anything to buy. we went to the charity shop across the way and found a bunch of cookie cutters and a  pair of shoes for me so i guess the stop was worth it.
we got back in the car and mom took us to walmart. i sat in the cart while she pushed me around. blah blah blah.
mom got things on her list and i sat in the cart rearranging them. we got everything mom wanted so mom pushed us to the counter and paid.
got outside just before it started to rain. boooo rain. mom drove us home and i ran up the stairs. looks like it's going to rain all day. i'm going to curl up with blueberry and watch spongebob.

i'm busy having guy time with dad. we're off to the park.

had an alright day. got up and mom made us cinnamon apple waffles. they were pretty darn tasty. i like waffles with lots of butter and chemical syrup. mom was all go go go this morning. she got me dressed and then made dad get dressed. we got out the door for 8am.
mom drove dad to work. he's got things to do and what not. bye dad, see you later. it's saturday morning and that means- yard sales. mom drove us around to a couple houses. we didn't really find anything good today. it's a holiday weekend so must people are doing other things. not many sales to visit. that's ok. mom and i had a nice drive around.
we got home and had a bathroom break. mom was all- do you want to go to a cane boil? are they making candy canes? i want to see candy canes. not quite, but there might be pumpkin frybread. I LOVE PUMPKIN FRYBREAD! so back in the car we went. mom drove us to morningside nature park. the place was packed. there were cars everywhere. we finally found a place to park. we walked through the woods to the olden times farm. i've been here before. last time we visited no one was around through. today there were loads of people and some were dressed in olden times clothes.
i walked around the farm with mom. we stopped to visit with the chickens. i saw one drinking water. chickens are silly. we saw some pigs sleeping in the dirt. all the sheep were inside today. i took a quick look at them. sheep are kind of smelly and not very smart. i saw some more chickens. i watched the digging around in the dirt looking for snacks. and lastly we visited with the cow. the cow is very big. mom tried to talk me into giving the cow some head scratches, no freaken way. i don't want to get anywhere near that thing. i don't care if all the other kids are touching it.
we walked around some of the buildings. we saw people building birdhouses and doing wood working things with olden time tools. we visited the blacksmith. he was just telling people how to make knives. we walked around the house. i saw ladies spinning wool, sewing quilts and using a weaving loom. in the kitchen one of the ladies was making biscuits. I LOVE BISCUITS! mom said they are not the english kind of biscuit but the american kind which is more like a fluffy bread. oh, i still will probably like those too. 
after all that walking i was pretty hungry so we got in line for the frybread/lemonaid lady. it was a very long line. mom and i stood in line for ages. the old guy behind us complained the whole time it was taking too long. i busied myself by running around in circles and bothering mom. she was hot from being in the sun so i made sure to stand extra close to her. finally it was our turn to order. mom got me some pumpkin frybread and a lemonaid for us to share. we had to wait for a bit while the frybread cooked. i sat on a stump and sucked down most of the lemonaid before mom had a chance to get any. haha. she only got a few sips. mom was not happy with me. we made a visit to the outhouse so i could have a pee break. that was kind of weird. there was a regular toilet over a big deep hole.
we walked back to the food tent and collected our pumpkin frybread. it just came out of the hot oil so it was too hot to eat. we walked around a little more. we stood and watched the sugar cane being squashed. they collected the juice and then the juice gets boiled down to syrup. not really exciting. i tried to talk mom into buying me a piece of cane so i could chew on it- no way. but but, that baby has one. no! booo. one of these days i'll get a candy cane.
we went over to see the chickens again. rooster was there. i talked to him in my best rooster voice. he looked at me. one of the hens came out to see what was going on and she looked at me too. mom and i ate the frybread and talked to the chickens. we walked along the fence and i almost got a big slobbery kiss from that cow. she stuck her nose through the fence and i almost ran right into it. i wasn't paying attention. doh.
so that was our day out. we saw everything there was to see. mom and i walked back to the car.
got home and now it's back to the future time. whooo-hooo.

dad doesn't have to work today either! we're just going to spend all day in our relaxing pants watching tv and snacking. awesome.

today is thanksgiving. dad doesn't have to work. we're going to spend the day together doing guy stuff. first thing- to the park. we're going to go run around while mom cooks in the kitchen.
later there will be much eating. mom is making all kinds of tasty things. i'm going to get a big bowl of spiced sweet potato soup. yummy.

not much going on. mom and i went to the Y today. i hung out in the kid's room. there were a couple other kids in there today but they all wanted to watch dora. i'm not a big fan of dora. she just talks a load of nonsense. i found a trainset and started building some tracks. when mom came to get me i put all the tracks away again.
mom says this afternoon we're just going to hide out inside and start cooking. i guess tomorrow we're having a really big dinner. it's some kind of holiday in america

had a lazy morning with mom. dad got up early and left before we got up. mom said there was a lot of rain during the night so everything is wet. did you hear the thunder? what? there was thunder? i missed it.
oh well. sat on the couch and watched my pbskids shows. mom got her shopping list together and we headed out to start our day.
went to the grocery store. i sat in the cart while mom pushed me around. i guess there was a lot on the list because the cart got pretty crowded. i stacked bottles of juice on top of boxes of cereal. it was fun enough.
when mom got everything on her list we went to the check out and paid.
got home and mom put all the food away. i just hung out and watched spongebob. i had my usual lunch.
i was having a nice relaxing break on the couch when mom said it was time to get dressed. what for? it's time for taekwondo. oh cool. mom helped me into my uniform and we talked about how today is my last class. but i don't want it to be my last class. mom said we've got other things to do and when we get back from england then we'll talk about doing some classes again. she said something about trying karate.
mom drove us to class. i managed to stay awake this time. got to class and all i did was not listen and goof off. mom made more frowny faces at me. so i waved and shouted hi mom really loud at her. she didn't say anything so i ran across the room and stood in front of her and said hi again. mom told me to go back and listen to the instructors. i guess there's a reason i'm not taking any more classes for awhile.
class was good. we did kicks. i've got a good kick. so class finished and mom took me home again. that's where i am now. dad should be home soon. can't wait to hang out with him a bit.

last night was kind of rough. i fell asleep on the couch before dad got home. i woke up in the bedroom with poop in my pants. there was crying. i went and found mom to help fix the situation. mom was all- there's nothing to cry about, you're wearing nighttime pants. oh yeah, so i am. mom must of changed me when i was asleep.
i was still upset though. mom let me cuddle with her on the couch a bit. she put on back to the future3 for me and we watched that for a bit.
got up this morning and dad was already gone. oh well. i guess i'll see him tonight. hung out with mom. she gave me a banana for breakfast. where's my bowl of cereal? mom said- how about we go out for donuts? I LOVE DONUTS! so i ate the banana and mom helped me get dressed.
we got in the car and drove to some place i have never been before: jiffylube. what's this place? mom said they're going to do some work on the car. so mom talked to the guys and they took the car keys. we went into the office to watch. jiffylube was pretty cool. the guys drove the car into the work station. there was lots of tools and garage noise. i saw a guy working under the car. mom said they're changing the oil. interesting. the head guy talked to mom a bit and told her there were a few other jobs that needed doing too. mom said- since we're going to be here a little longer, let's go get those donuts now. I LOVE DONUTS!
mom and i walked next door to the donut shop. she ordered us a small box of mixed holes. did you know you could buy whole donuts or just the holes? what a world. mom and i like to get the holes because you can just pop them in your mouth- no mess. i like the chocolate ones best. mom says the jelly ones are her favorites. that's good, no fighting. we took our box of holes back to the jiffylube and sat and waited.
i ate a couple holes. mom gave me mostly chocolate or blueberry ones. i was sitting next to a lady who was playing games on her phone. she noticed me leaning over her arm staring at the screen and asked if i wanted to play- hell yes! so she let me have a couple goes in a color matching game. the jiffylube man said mom's car was ready but i wanted to stay. i didn't want to give the phone back, but i did.
next on the list of chores was going to target. they have mango juice that i like. so we did that. mom pushed me around target and we got things on the shopping list. i told her all about playing games on the phone and how i want a phone that plays game. mom was all- yeah yeah yeah, no phone.
mom got everything on her list and paid. we drove home. and that was all that was interesting about my day.
i hope dad gets home soon.

today mom let me watch all the spongebob i wanted. it was awesome. i just sat on the couch and she cursed at the computer. mom was having trouble booking airplane tickets. lots of bad words were said. she had to call grdad in england at one point. i got all excited because i wanted to talk to him but mom hogged the skype.
mom tried to book tickets again and there was more bad words. finally she gave up and said i could talk to grdad and jammma if i wanted. ended up having a quick chat. it made a nice break from watching spongebob.
mom huffed and puffed and finally booked some airplane tickets. phew. that's good i guess.
it was time to go to taekwondo. mom helped me get dressed. she took a couple pictures and then we got in the car. on the way to taekwondo, i fell asleep. i know, i know it's only five minutes down the road but i still managed to fall asleep. mom shook me awake. I'M SLEEPING! i'm tired from watching too much spongebob.
mom just rolled her eyes at me and dragged me off to taekwondo. i goofed off all class. mom made frowny faces at me.
meh. after class mom took me home and that's that. i'm going to sit on the couch and go back to sleep.

just your regular kind of monday around here. i talked with grdad and jammma a bit on skype.
mom puttered around the house trying to get things done.
we went to the Y. mom went to get sweaty and i hung out in the kid's room.
after the Y mom dragged me off to walmart to do stuff.
see, totally uneventful monday. meh.

it's sunday. mom has something planned for us. first i'm going to eat some breakfast and hang out with dad.
did some hanging out. mom made me get dressed. what are we doing? i just want to watch tv.
mom chased me and dad out of the house and down the stairs to the car. mom drove us and drove us. i fell asleep. this car ride is so boring. woke up to mom poking me: wake up, wake up. what? where am i? we're going to stomp around the woods doing old timey educational history stuff. oh man.
mom dragged us out to something called the ocali country days at the silver river museum. i have to admit it was pretty good. i got to make a candle. that was fun. mom insisted on helping. that was annoying. to make a candle you dip a string in cold water and hot wax, over and over and over again. there was lots of dipping. i made a nice looking candle.
we walked around the woods. there were all kinds of displays set up. i saw a big owl in a cage. i touched some bugs. the UF Bug guys were there with a bunch of different creatures. i touched a hissing cockroach and a big black millipede. i saw some civil war guys and native indians. the spinning lady was there with her rabbit. i stopped and watched a lady making pots out of clay. that was interesting. i looked around an old school house.
mom and dad got snacks. i had some potato chips and a few sips of soda. doing educational stuff isn't so bad when i get to have a junkfood lunch. dad got us all fresh squeezed lemonade. oh man, i love that stuff. i had to share mine with mom. we also got some pumpkin fry bread. nom nom nom.
after snacks we walked around some more. i saw some trappers and they showed us how to make fire. i learned a little bit about sugar cane, it looks kind of like bamboo. the old time farmers stripped the cane, then they cut the cane. they were selling chunks of cane but mom wouldn't buy me one. she was all- it's nothing but pure sugar, no way. boooo, but it's educational. no. after the cane was cut they toss it in a big pot and boil it. i watched the cane cook for a bit. they were selling cane syrup but mom wouldn't buy that either. NO SUGAR!
walked around the old time farm and saw the livestock. mom tried to get me to touch a cow and a horse, no freaken way. i didn't want to get anywhere near them. we looked at goats and chickens too. the chickens were funny. i watched them scratch in the dirt looking for bugs to eat.
we saw everything there was to see. after some discussion between mom and dad it was decided i could have a snowcone. I LOVE SNOWCONES! so i got a blue raspberry flavored snowcone and sat down with mom and dad to eat it and listen to some banjo country style music. the snowcone was great. it turned my lips blue.
before we left mom and dad decided we should do the tram tour. so we went and bought our tickets. it was only a short wait until the tram came. it wasn't a tram tram it was a truck pulling a open bed trailer behind it. we clamoured up into the trailer with a bunch of other people. there were seats. while the tram moved through the woods the guide told stories about the trees, wildlife and history of the area. in the middle of the woods the tram stopped and we all had to get off, what the heck? mom assured me it was fine. we followed everyone through the woods on this wooden path. the path ended at a river. the water was so clear i could see fish and turtles swimming around. dad and i looked for gators but we didn't see any. after a nice relaxing time looking at the water we all left and went back to the tram stop. the tram came and got us and that was that. we ended up back where we started.
i walked back to the car with mom and dad. mom drove us back to gainesville. i just sat and looked out the window. i entertained myself by making noises. mom was not entertained. she and dad talked about stuff. mom said she thought i had too much energy even after spending 4hrs stomping around the woods. she drove us to the park instead of straight home. whoo-hoo. i love the park.
at the park mom made me run around. she chased me around a baseball field. have you ever seen a baseball field? they're huge and i had to run all the way around the outside fence. i made the mistake of telling mom i wasn't tired so she had me run all over the playground.. i went up and down slides, i climbed the rock wall. i ran and ran. we were there for a good hour. i had a great time.
and that was how i spent my sunday. i'm going to relax on the couch with dad for a bit now.

today has been pretty good. had some waffles for breakfast time. dad wanted to go to work so after we had all eaten and done our morning things, mom drove him to work. dad got out of the car and went off to do things. mom and i drove around to some yardsales. we only went to 2 because it was kind of late. the first house we went to mom found a tree to buy. what the heck? it was huge. mom was all- there's no way this box is fitting in the car so she took the pieces out and stuffed the pieces in the car next to me. why is there a tree in the car? mom said- it's our christmas tree. is it christmas tomorrow? no. is it christmas in 5minutes? no. i'll let you know when it's christmas time. i hope it's christmas time soon.
we drove around some more and ended up at another yardsale. once you get past 10am there's not much left at these things. i dug around in a pile of toys and pulled out a game. look mom, leapfrog! i know mom likes leapfrog things, they're educational. i turned on the game and it worked. it's a letter writing game. mom hemmed and hawed a bit. i wasn't sure she was going to let me get it but she said- if it's $1 or less, you can have it. i went up to the man in charge and asked the price. he said $1 so mom gave him some money and i did a happy dance.
mom drove us home. i sat on the couch and played with my new toy. it's pretty cool. there's a couple different things you can do on it to help you learn how to write letters. this should help my writing look better for sure.
i had a good long play but then it was time to run around. i jumped up and started running like crazy. mom was not impressed. i got told off and mom made me stand by the door. she got her shoes on and i got my shoes on, out the door we went.
mom drove us to the park next to the house. we drove right past dad on our way. hi dad. got to the park and ran around. dad came walking up a few minutes later. HI DAD! mom made me run down the track that goes behind all the different apartment complexes, that's the whole side of the park! and then i had to run back to the playground. by the time i got back to the slides it was pretty busy so dad said we had to go. booo.
got in the car and dad drove us around. we didn't go home though, we went to a different park. awesome!
there were only a couple kids playing. i played chase with two older kids. the three of us just ran around and around. it was good fun. i got lots of exercise. i went down the slide a few times too and learned about static electricity. my hair would be flat at the top of the slide and by the time i got to the bottom my hair was sticking up all crazy. mom said that was because of static. it was getting dark so back in the car we went.
i'm home now. mom has stuffed me full of food. i'm going to get blueberry and snuggle down on the couch.

today is 11/11/11 and it's a holiday. american's call it veteran's day. i got up and did the usual stuff. i got breakfast and then it was time to skype with grdad. jammma was there today so i chatted with her too. mom puttered around the house and did stuff. she came over and shooed me off skype at 9. what the heck? i wanted to talk more but mom said we had to go do stuff. what are we doing? spending the day with dad.
that's right. dad took the day off work because no buses were running and everyone else was having a day off. so we all went to the Y. i showed dad the kids room. he and mom went off to do things in the gym. i played in the kids room. today there were actually boys to play with. i had a good play and then mom and dad came to get me.
we got in the car and dad drove us to the park. mom staid in the car so i could have some guy time with dad.(more like she was wearing shorts and it was kind of cold out.) dad and i had a good time going around the track. i rode my bike and he walked along next to me. we played on the slides a bit. it was a good time.
when we were done dad put my bike back in the car and we drove to walmart for some shopping. i rode around in the cart while dad pushed me. mom did her usual thing of putting stuff in the cart and getting lost. we finally found her and she put more stuff in the cart. finally mom said she had everything on her list so we got in line to pay. there was a wait. this walmart is not very well run. we always end up waiting forever in line. eventually it was our turn. mom paid and back we went to the car.
mom and i tried to talk dad into going out for lunch but he said- nope. booo. i really want french fries and chocolate milkshakes. i ended up with a peanut butter samich, again. dad did make me a smoothie though. that was good.
just going to hang out with dad now watching spongebob. awesome.

today i just had a lazy day of sitting on the couch watching pbs kids. i played with my toys and learned stuff. mom didn't bother me to go out and do stuff. what the heck?
had some lunch and hung out some more. mom came over waving a pair of sweat pants at me. are we going out? she said- where do we go when we're wearing sweat pants? TAEKWONDO!
mom got me ready and we jumped in the car. she drove us off to taekwondo. i got to class and instructor somi gave me a uniform so i can look like a real taekwondo student. i told her how i did my two chores. mom backed me up. class was good. there was lots of jumping and arm flailing. i'm good at that. today we kicked foam boards. i did really well with right foot kicks. my left food kicks need some work. at the end of class i had to stand up and say what chores i did- put my shoes away and take my bath. the instructor said, very good, now you can break the board and get a belt. so he held a board and somi showed me how to hit it. i gave the board a couple whacks but it wouldn't break. somi gave me a little help and with one big whack we broke the board. i turned around and shouted at everyone- I BROKE THE BOARD! there was clapping. i gathered up the pieces and ran half way across the matt to mom- I BROKE THE BOARD! then i went back and got my belt tied on. i'm super proud.
so that's what i did today. i broke a board.

it's wednesday. not much to report about today. i had a chat with grdad on skype this morning. jammma is still off on a visit to wales.
other than that it was just me and mom doing random things.

it's only 8pm and already i'm falling asleep on the couch. phew i've had a long day.
got up this morning and curled up on the couch with blueberry. i was really into watching pbs kids i didn't even hear dad leave. hung out until breakfast time. mom fed me a big bowl of crunchie pillows with raisins. i ate it up. i went back to watch more pbs kids. super why came on. i am not liking super why right now. i had mom turn off the tv.
got dressed and mom got dressed. we headed out into the day. mom drove us to the Y. i like the Y. i went into the kids room and mom went to the gym. for awhile i had the place to myself and then more kids showed up. i managed to get an iphone off a smaller kid. his mom left it with him while she went to the gym. he was only a little kid so i had to show him how it works. mom showed up and i gave the phone back. booo, i really want an iphone.
we left the Y and mom drove us to the grocery store. we only needed a few things so mom got a basket and i had to walk around behind her. i much prefer the cart. mom got the things on her list so we paid and left. on the way back to the car mom made a detour to subway. 5aday! mom ordered us some samiches and the girls made them for us.
got home and hung out with mom. we ate samiches and they were tasty. i watched a bit of tv. mom said not to get too comfortable because we're going out in a bit. where are we going? taekwondo. TAEKWONDO! i love taekwondo. so i sat on the couch with my watch and timed how long it took for mom to say- it's time to go. it took forever but she finally said- time to go.
got in the car and mom drove us to taekwondo. the place was full of kids. we all had to sit and listen. do you know how hard it is to sit and listen? after the listening it was time to get up and jump around. i had no clue what was going on. i just kind of jumped and flailed my arms about. every once in awhile i looked over at mom and she was snickering. class was fun but hard work.
after class mom drove us back home. i had some dinner. mom made me take a bath. there was some crying but not as much as last week. i got some new shampoo and i think that helped. at least mom does a quick bathtime so i was in and out in a few minutes.
dad came home. if i wasn't so tired we'd hang out but i'm just going to grab blueberry and head off to bed.

mondays are never very exciting.
i talked to grdad for a bit on skype, that was the most interesting thing i did all day. i had to follow mom around while we did stupid chores. went to the big walmart and bought stuff on mom's list. sooo boring.
that's my day. i played with toys. mom made me take a nap because i was grouchy with her at the store. meh, it's monday

i went to the park today with dad. just the two of us doing guy stuff. hell yeah. i rode my bike around the track while dad followed along behind me. we had a great time at the park.
the rest of the day has been ok. we hung out and watched american football on tv with mom. it was a lazy kind of sunday.
the clocks changed today. i am so confused. i'm pretty sure today is jammma's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMMMMMA! we've got cards but dad is in charge of sending them. they should get there before your next birthday.

mom and i drove dad to work and then we just drove around. we went to a yardsale. there was lots of stuff. i saw a few things i wanted but mom said no to them all. booo. mom ended up buying some little milk pitcher looking thing.
after that we just went home to hide out from something called homecoming. mom put on back to the future and we just watched that all day. i was cool with that since it's no the nicest day out.
hopefully dad will be home soon so we can hang out.

today kicks off something called homecoming. mom says we are going to run to walmart real quick and then spend the rest of the weekend hiding. 100,000 people are supposed to turn out for the parade and other events.

not much to report about today. i got up in the middle of the night but that's ok, everyone else was up too. i shouted for dad and he came in to hang out with me for a bit until i fell back asleep.
so this morning we were all off to a slow start. i had a bowl of crunchie pillows for breakfast and then just watched my pbskids shows. i played with toys while mom sorted her shopping list out.
got dressed and mom took me out shopping. we went to walmart. saw a bunch of cheeky birds flying around the store. cheeky birds. they were jumping around on the shelves, looking at dog food. mom got everything on her list so we paid and left.
next stop was the grocery store. mom didn't really need much at the grocery store. we just got a couple things of garlic bread and a little of this and that. mom says we already have a lot of food in the house.
got home just in time for peanut butter samiches. yum. mom is always trying to get me to eat something different but i don't want to know. unless it's a 5aday from subway, i don't want it. once in awhile i'll agree to pizza. i do like french fries and chocolate milkshakes but mom says i can't eat those everyday for lunch. oh well.
ate my food and now i'm just going to hang out. mom says we have to do naps later. boo. i guess i better go have fun while i can.

today was alright.  i had a really good sleep in. i didn't get up until almost 8.30pm. dad was long gone. mom stuffed some breakfast in me and i flopped down on the couch. gotta watch my morning shows. mom lets me get away with that because PBSkids is pretty educational.
at 9 mom was all- get dressed we're doing chores today. eye roll. but i want to watch cat in the hat. mom doesn't care. she got me dressed and loaded up all the dirty laundry into her bag. we stomped over to the laundry room. mom put the dirty clothes into the machines. i pushed the money in. while the clothes splashed around mom and i went out to the little park. i ran around and dug in the sand for a bit.
mom checked her watch and said it was time to put clothes in the dryer. so we went back inside and did that. i pushed the coins into the machines and pressed the on button. the dryers take a long time so mom said we could go back to the house to wait.
back to the house we went. mom went to work tidying up my room. i guess she got tired of waiting for me to do it. she's only been on my case for like 4days to pick up all the toys. i decided to play her some music so i got out the piano and played mom a tune while she worked. mom was not really impressed. i think that was more to do with how i kept asking her how the cleaning was going. are you having fun? it's not bad is it? cleaning is going ok, right? i like to taunt mom.
the room got cleaned up enough so i'm not tripping over things every step i take. cool. mom said it was time to collect the clothes so we went back to the laundry room. mom stuffed all the clean clothes back in the bag  and lugged them home. i jumped around while mom folded the clothes and put them away. i'm not really much help.
had some lunch and hung out. mom let me watch peppa while she worked in the kitchen trying to get the dishes clean.
around 3 mom said it was time to go out and do things. what things? what are we doing? mom wouldn't tell me, she said it's a surprise. so i got dressed and mom drove me off in the car. we didn't go far, just down the road. we're going to the grocery store? that's not much of a surprise. but then mom didn't turn into the grocery store. are we going to a kid's place? what are we doing?
mom pulled up to a building and we got out. we went through a door into a weird room. what is this place? mom said the girl behind the counter would tell me all about it. today you're going to learn about taekwondo. longduckdong? what? what's going on and why is the girl wearing black jammies? what's that matt for?
mom sat on the side in a chair while this girl talked to me. she showed me where to put shoes, i'm not supposed to wear shoes on the matt. then she showed me how to bow. there was lots of bowing. bow to the matt, bow to the flag, bow to your partner now dos-e-doe and back home again. no that's square dancing. i did have to bow to the girl though. then i had to stand on a dot and flap my arms about. after the flapping i got to kick i peace of paper. then i had to sit, quietly and focus. focusing is not my strong point. she girl said a lot about focusing and being good and listening. eye rolling. then she was done talking and the lesson was done.
the girl and mom talked a bit. mom got a bundle of papers to bring home. i've got a homework sheet to fill out. i have to do things like- clean my room, brush my teeth, pick up toys. all things mom tries to make me do anyway. homework should be pretty easy. the girl said if i do my homework i get stripes on my belt. i get a belt? the girl said i would get a belt next week, after i broke a board. YOU CAN'T BREAK A BOARD WITH YOUR HAND! mom said the girl would show me how. i'm going to break a board- WITH MY HAND!
oh man. mom and i left taekwondo and went across the street to the grocery store. we always end up at the grocery store. mom got a few things for dad's dinner and we went back home. i'm going to hang out and watch some more peppa pig. mom keeps threatening me with a bath. i don't want to take a bath.

mom says we are taking the day off. we're just going to sit around watching back to the future movies and relaxing.
i watched all 3 back to the future movies today.
around 4pm mom said it was time to get ready because we were going out. but but i'm going to watch iceage.
got some clothes on and jumped in the car with mom. she drove us just down the road and around the corner.
where are we going? i've never been here before. the dentist.
i'm not sure what a dentist does. i know kawalksi the penguin is afraid of them. mom assures me they are not scary. this dentist was giving out money in exchange for candy. i turned in 2lbs worth of candy mom was never going to let me eat anyway. all the candy collected is going to the troops overseas. mom says that's a good thing. the dentist gave me $2 in cold hard cash. awesome. i know that having money is a good thing. the denist was also giving away an ipod. all you had to do was write your name down. mom took care of that for me.
we finished up at the dentist and mom and i had a little walk around the shopping complex. i told her all about ipods and what i was going to do with my ipod after the dentist picked my name i won it. mom was all- well you might not win. no, i will win mom. i will win.
went home and now i'm just hanging out. dad should be home soon. mom is going to poison him with her mexican cooking and then we're going to hang out watching tv.
