today was non stop go go go. from the minute i got up mom was all- we're super busy today so let's go go go! there's a huge list of things to do, eat breakfast so we can get going. hold on lady. i just opened my eyes. i sat and ate my big bowl of life cereal. i love life, it's so tasty.
mom went around the house gathering up all the sheets, pillow cases and whatever else she could find to throw in the laundry. i got dressed. before i knew it mom was rushing me out the door. first we stopped at the laundry and threw everything in the machines to get cleaned. then mom drove us to the grocery store.
we rushed around the store buying things on mom's list. we only needed a few things but they were super important. we won't go far this week without milk, eggs and oj. mom got everything she needed so we paid and it was back to the laundry. mom put the stuff that needed to be dried in the dryers and i got to turn them on.
there were a few things mom set aside, we took those home to air dry. mom put the groceries away and hung up with wet stuff. i just practised on my keyboard. i found the ringing phone sound effect. i played a song that was nothing but ringing phones. it was awesome.
before i knew it mom was chasing me out of the house again. let's go go go! we're going to be late for our next meeting. what, to get the sheets out of the dryer? i think they'll be ok with that. mom drove us over to collect our dry things from the laundry room. she just shoved everything in a bag and back out to the car we ran. really? what's the rush? we got back in the car but mom didn't drive us home, we drove across town. we went to a different place i had never been too before. are we moving? why did the laundry have to come? what is going on? we drove through a little neighborhood and mom parked the car outside a cute little house.
there's a bunch of cars parked here. what is going on? mom told me to knock on the door so i did. a lady opened it and behind her all i could see was a mass of kids. oh my god. it's a surprise playdate!
i spent the morning playing at jackson's house. it was a homeschooling kids meetup. we had so much fun. jackson has some great toys. his mom let us run around the house, jump on the  furniture and make as much noise as we wanted- all while we dressed up in costumes. it was awesome.
we were at jackson's house for a couple hours and man it was super fun. just the kind of thing for a thunderstormy day. i was sad when mom told me it was time to go. boooo.
got back in the car and mom drove us home. i told her all about my plans to go back to jackson's house another day and all the different things i wanted to do. at home mom made me a quick late lunch. i had just enough time to relax and play a bit of my leapster game before mom came in and was all- get your socks back on it's time for piano lessons. man, how much can you pack into one day?
got to piano lessons and played around some waiting for maggie to show up, she's always a bit late. she got there though and the both of us just messed around the whole lesson. we were not very serious today. oh well. like gideon says- it's hard to concentrate when you're 5. we had fun and that's the important part.
after the lesson mom drove us back home. now you would think the day would finally be done and i could watch a bit of tv, but no. we were only home about an hour when mom was all- it's time to get in the car again. what the hell?
i got in the car and the next thing i know mom is slapping my cheek telling me to wake up. i fell asleep. i totally missed the part where we stopped to pick up dad. i'm awake, i'm awake. what's going on? mom was all- we've had such a super busy day- there's no way i'm cooking dinner too. so we ended up at the stir fry place for dinner. i got to order sprite for my drink since they don't have orange soda. mom said since i was so good today i could have a special treat too. she ordered me a chocolate brownie! this is a good day.
