one of thoes days

well it was free day today and boy was it hectic. First of all I [bright and early] went to make my family breakfast. [I made French toast , eggs, and orange slushy] and we discussed what we were going to do that day. Me and Claire suggested we go ice skating, mom announced she wanted to stay home and do laundry [which I thought was a very bad idea, Claire thought the same] and dad said he was determined to finish making the porch before it rained again. [I thought that was a bad idea too]. So next thing we decided what to do. Mom said that we had to plan going ice skating a week before so that was settled.

Me and Claire tried to talk Mom out of doing laundry all day. Then Mom said that we have to have clean laundry or we won't have any clothes to wear this week. So we agreed that Mom was not to do laundry all day. We likewise tried to talk to dad about not doing his porch, but he would not be dissuaded. We then decided to go to a nearby walking street, but then dad said he had to go to the warehouse to do some business for a little while. Me and Claire went with him to get some of our summer clothes, while dad worked. We came home and it was raining, Dad couldn't work on his porch! So, he drove us down to Danshuei and then back again.

We walked around trying to find clothes, but we didn't buy any. Claire was determined to buy a bag and was in a bag shop for 20 minutes trying to decide which bag to get. I got so impatient that I walked to the crepe stand and got 2 Blue Strawberry crepes (sounds weird doesn't it?) By then it was pouring with rain. The nearby 7/11 made tons of money in 5 minutes selling umbrellas. After that we walked to the bus stop where dad picked us up.

Big day!
