i woke up this morning and it was august already. summer is slowly going by. it's stupid hot out. mom and i spent most of the morning just doing our own thing. i watched my morning shows and played games on the leapster. mom cooked stuff and tidied. it poured down rain for a bit. i didn't hear any thunder though.
after lunch mom told me to get dresses. why. don't ask why, just get dressed. fine. so i took my time putting clothes on. finally i was ready and mom hussled me out the door. what's the rush? where are we going? mom was all- to do chores. first stop was paying the rent. i handed the check to a new lady i've never seen before. she seemed nice enough. next i dropped a letter in the post.
mom and i then got in the car and she drove us to the bowling alley! awesome. we're not just doing boring chores, we're going bowling. we walked inside and it was nice and cool. there were a bunch of old people bowling in there today. mom and i got our gear and settled at the lane. i really like bowling but today i was just not feeling it. the first game i only rolled like a 48. that's super low for me. my wagon is draggin' as they say. i've got no go go go today. mom and i played our two games and that was that.
got outside and it was looking pretty cloudy out. mom drove us to walmart. she was all- we're going to be super quick. no nonsense, in and out. ok. yes, that's fine but what's the rush. mom pointed up to the sky and it was black. that's not good.
so we ran around walmart super quick. mom put the things on her list into the cart. i ran along beside her. we were done shopping in like 20min. i think that's record time. then it took us forever to check out. oh well.
we paid and got outside just as the rain started to come down. i heard some wicked thunder. mom hurried us to the car. we didn't get too rained on because we were right on the edge of the storm. mom drove us home and it was definitely raining then. i couldn't see anything out my window.
we got home just as the storm ended. mom said- perfect timing. go us getting everything done and staying dry.
i'm feeling pretty tired so i think i'll just go to bed now.
