today didn't really go to plan but it turned out ok in the end. mom and i had a few different things planned for this morning. originally we were supposed to meet with a lady to talk about a preschool program. mom looked at the map last night and realized the place we were supposed to meet was miles out of the way so she called and called this morning to change the meeting to a place closer to our house. the lady said she couldn't make it to a different location today, how about changing the day. so mom made a new appointment for thursday.
changing the preschool meeting left our morning free. what to do? what to do? mom said we could go explore some different charity shops, ok. so we got in the car. on the way out mom checked the mail. she only got one letter so she opened it. i guess the letter had bad news because mom instantly drove us back home. we went back inside. mom stomped around the house and said a bunch of bad words i'm not supposed to say. she made angry faces and looked at a few things on the internet and read the offending letter a couple times. finally she said we had to get back in the car and go to the insurance office. but why mommy? because the company is going to cancel our car insurance and we have to sort out this very huge problem. ok
so mom drove us down the street to the insurance office. it's not very far. we went inside. i stood quietly while mom talked to the lady behind the counter. the lady said- we have to cancel the policy you currently have but we've set you up with a different one. it only took a few minutes and the huge problem was sorted. phew.
since we had an hour or so before lunch mom drove us to the grocery store to pick up a few things for dinner. this trip went a lot smoother. i was super good in the cart. mom and i got everything on the list including a few things for our hurricane survival stash.
got home just in time for lunch. i ate my peanut butter samiches and drank my chocolate milk. i got a big cup full of grapes when i was done. awesome. i like grapes. watched a couple educational shows and played with my toys until nap time.
had a pretty good nap. mom woke me up because i had a skype call from dana bunny and ronnie. cool. i had a quick chat with them. i wasn't really awake, something about whale watching. i don't know.
the rest of the day went really fast. my dad came home kind of early and that was awesome. i had only just finished my dinner when i heard him at the door. there's a big thunderstorm rolling through right now. i'm going to watch it with my mom and dad. i hope i see some forked lightning.
