still grey and miserable out. at least it's not raining. today i helped mom get the chores done. first we went and dropped the laundry in the washing machines. while we were there the apartment complex manager lady came to say hello. she handed me a candy cane and said merry christmas. CANDY CANE! i got a candy cane. best day ever!
with the  laundry in the washers mom drove me to the football field park. she handed me my football and told me to go kick it around. the grass was kind of wet but i managed. i kicked that ball all over the place. up and down the field. i love football! when i was done kicking the ball, mom and i got back in the car and drove home.
we went back to the laundry room and put the wet clothes in the dryer. while the clothes were getting dry mom and i went to the grocery store. i sat in the cart sucking on my candy cane while mom got things on her list. i love my candy cane. things were going so well until it happened- i dropped the last bite of my candy cane on the ground. i was about to put it in my mouth but it slipped and fell out of the cart. my day went from great to pure suckage in 2seconds flat. i begged and pleaded with mom to pick up the fallen candy. i asked her to take me back to the manager lady so she could give me a new candy. mom said no to everything. 'you ate most of a candy cane, just be happy with that.' there were some tears. mom doesn't understand. she just kept on shopping like my world wasn't ending. mom got everything on her list and we checked out.
we drove home and put the grocery stuff away before going back to the laundry room. our clothes were all clean and dry. mom and i collected them and brought them back home. i sat on the couch while mom sorted the laundry and put it away. i'm just going to curl up with blueberry and sulk a bit.
