My Day

It's pretty interesting how simple pleasures can cheer you up when you're having a bad day...

I didn't have a very happy day today because my mom insists that I play Cinderella on Saturdays instead of relaxing and hanging out with my friends.
When I came back from hanging out at Satchel's (I'd never been there before, but it's the coolest place in the world!!), I was greeted with a long list of chores that had to be done. So I started by vacuuming the whole house, doing 2 loads of laundry and folding them, sweeping the back porch, cleaning (and organizing!) my room - which rarely happens, I might add - setting up a color printer for the computer, pulling weeds and sweeping the front porch. I was pretty mad that I had to do all of these things by myself while my brother was out having fun with 11 of his friends (and is STILL with them at this moment) and didn't have to do a single thing today.
However, as soon as I walked out the door, I smelled the delicious scent of the little Tea Olive tree by our door, saw the little pink flowers on our Taiwan Cherry tree, and a gorgeous sunset. All of a sudden I couldn't be mad anymore.
It's funny how nature does that to you :)
So my day ended pretty well after all. Plus, I'm going to plead my case about how I did ALL the work today so that Darrel gets to clean up the kitchen all by himself after our huge Sunday lunch tomorrow cause revenge is fun.
