I was grounded last night and I had to stay in my room.  I fell asleep at 7:30pm and I didn't wake up until 9:15am.   It is interesting that when I am in trouble I am such a good boy.  I ate four packages of chocolate chip oatmeal.

I did my baseball exercises and had fun doing them.  I made my bed and got dressed.

One slip-up was I said I brushed my teeth when I really had just gotten my toothbrush wet.  Barbara said my breath would smell like toothpaste if I had really brushed my teeth....  I ended up going back into the bathroom and did a good job brushing my teeth.

At 11am I headed outside to play. I found out Alyssa and Anthony have Y camp all week and won't be home until 5.  Except today Anthony is at the doctor instead of camp.  Xavier and Julian have company.  No one answered the door at Austin's home so I came back home.

I ate three small bowls of chicken and noodles.  I wanted a shake so I helped Barbara make me a banana shake.  I took a small cup to GGM.  She enjoyed it too.  I ate half and froze the other half.

I called Mimz.  After I told her none of my friends could play, she said she could come get me after she ran some errands.  I know Barbara and GGM will play with me but they generally want to play games that don't require hard hitting and running.

Barbara said the 19 state capital I know and then I told her the state.  GGM listened to us do this.  I also did another set of my exercises to make up for not doing them on Sunday.

I showed Barbara how I can box with my new boxing gloves.  I would box an imaginary guy, then I would hit myself.  I was knocked out twice.  (not really)  Anthony and Alyssa both have gloves.  I had to use my own money to buy them.

At 1:30pm both GGM and Barbara wanted to take a nap..... not me.  I soon followed Barbara upstairs and found her in bed.  I got on her bed to watch an episode of Monk with her.  I found she had a heating pad warming up because she was cold.  She kept falling asleep and I kept waking her up.


The doorbell rang and it was Anthony and Henry wanting to play.  I came upstairs to tell Barbara I was going to play and she reminded me that Mimz was on her way to get me.  Just then Mimz called and I told her I now had friends to play with so I would stay home.

We went to the park and played in a big tunnel that had something to do with water over flow or something.  Barbara came to check on me and she felt that our playing in there was not acceptable.  We told her it was okay with Mr. Mark.    She said she would check with Mr. Mark.

When I came home, I heard that Mr. Mark had decided it was not a good idea for kids to play in that tunnel (snakes, rodents, etc.)  He was sure the community board would tell kids that was not a playground and no one should go in there.  He said he would take us on a hike in the woods or something.

I had been a super well-behaved boy all day.  I asked to see if I could go over to Mimz.  Mommy said I could.  We had one small episode where I almost ended up back in my room for the evening.  I didn't want that again, so I acted like I know I'm supposed to.

I had changed all of my clothes except somehow I ended up with my same dirty shirt on.  When we met Mimz at Sprouts, she said that was okay.

Bubba spent the night with me at Mimz' home.
