the news is all about this big drought that is going on. what drought? it's just rain storm after rain storm around here. the morning starts out ok with a bit of sun, but it's wicked hot and gross out. then by lunch time it's thunderstorms and downpours.
this morning i talked with grdad on skype. he told me jammma was out of town for a few days. not what i wanted to hear. so i said goodbye and turned off skype. i got a lecture from mom about manners. i'm pretty sure i said goodbye this time.
mom said since i wasn't going to chat we might as well get the chores done. so she gathered up all the laundry and out the door we went. mom put the laundry in the washer and i got to turn the machines on. the clothes got clean and we went off to the bank. today was trade in dad's left over euro money and get some small bills for tomorrow's tagsale. kind of boring but i was good so mom let me raid the lollipop basket before we left. THEY GIVE OUT LOLLIPOPS AT THE BANK!
after the bank stuff was done mom drove us back to the laundry. we put things in the dryer. i got to turn on the machines. i'm a big help. with the stuff in the dryer, mom and i headed off to the grocery store. now, correct me if i'm wrong, wasn't it super sunny when we first left the house? now just a short time later it's very stormy looking. mom and i made a quick stop at subway for lunch. awesome! we got a couple samiches to go for our lunches later. then it was shopping time. mom got things off her list. i just sat in the cart being good. we only needed a few things. mom just wanted a few snack things for tomorrow. we paid for our stuff and left the store to find a massive storm going on. everyone was huddled under the overhangs.
mom looked at me and looked at the flooding rain, screw it. we lived in england. a little rain isn't going to stop us. in the 1 minute it took us to get to the car, we were soaked. it looked like we fell in the pool. that's really rainy. mom started the car and drove us to collect the laundry.
we finally made it home. mom and i ran upstairs and got into some dry clothes. what a day. now we're going to eat some subway and watch movies.
