HAPPY ROLLINSDAY!

mom says if it wasn't for rollins, i wouldn't be here. not sure what the means.
mom says rollinsday is sort of like festivus. instead of celebrating valentine's day she was looking for an anti-valentine's day activity when she hit upon the idea for rollinsday. this year marks the 12th celebration and rollins' 50th birthday.
now if you don't know anything about old man rollins, he's a bit of a misanthrope but he's also a major boyscout. while he may look rather scary he is in fact very polite and would actually help an old lady across the road.
so the biggest part of rollinsday is: DO A GOOD DEED
then you're supposed to read some rollins writing. mom suggests- GET IN THE VAN. when i'm older apparently this is required reading. something about being thankful i live in a house and not someone's crowded toolshed eating dogfood and whitebread samiches.
you're also supposed to listen to some rollins recordings. watching videos on youtube counts.
phew. the telephone rang just in time to save me from another telling off. jammma and grdad to the rescue. mom talked to them and then i got to talk. mom said i could go for another visit to derby in a few weeks- whooo hoo.
so today is sunday. i've been pushing mom's buttons since early this morning. i got up at like 6.30 and just sat in bed talking loudly- it's time to get up now! finally mom grumbled from the other room- then get up already, just be quiet about it.
i spent the early part of the morning jumping around on the couch bugging dad. i got a telling off from him. dad went off to the gym and work, leaving me home alone with mom.
mom says that i am an incessant noise machine and that is not really a good thing. the longest i've been quiet today was during my nap, other than that, i take time to breathe, once in awhile. i'm just humming, singing, squawking and asking a million questions all at once. mom tries to run away and hide for a few minutes but i just follow her.
i got told off a few times for jumping on the bed and then again for jumping on the couch. i fell off the couch and landed on my piano which is what mom was giving me a telling off for when jammma called. mom has tried to tidy up the house a few times today but i just follow along behind her and make a mess again. i destroyed the livingroom and my bedroom today, it's been raining. got to pass the time some how.
