Yesterday

Wake up. Sneak out of bed away from Aidia.
Go pee.
Walk downstairs to four, fourteen year old girls sleeping on my couch.
Grab phone and take a picture.
Bring cat down from Rio's room and feed her.
Make pancakes and fruit (trying extra hard not to burn them and actually succeeding this time) and leave on the counter.
Make coffee for me and Ray.
Answer an email to my friend, Angie, in a conversation regarding some creepy so-called 13 year old stalking Daniel and Sarkis online.Yuck.
Tell the girls about the pancakes on my way upstairs and get a typical teen response.
Continue through my morning routine of showering and dressing.
Wake up Daniel.
Clean breakfast plates.
Dress and entertain Aidia.
Remind Daniel to brush his teeth.
Chase the cat out of the garage.
Remind Daniel to brush his teeth.
Say goodbye to the girls as they get picked up.
Get a compliment from Rio about my pancakes (which was awesome because she doesn't even really like pancakes).
Then, of course,
remind Daniel to brush his teeth.

Pile in the car and take Daniel to freeskate at Volcom
(with the dog in tow so we can go to the Bark Park afterward).
Watch Daniel skate as Aidia tries to make friends with another little girl
and gets devastatingly rejected. Hold Aidia as she sobs.
Watch a little skater boy no older than four doing the 'pee pee dance' and mention it to Rio.
Watch him hop off his board and head to the bathroom.
Have Rio bring to my attention how amazingly in tune I am to the potty cycles of children.
Watch Sammy pull on the leash as he tries to herd the skaters.
Feel thankful Ray is there to be the big dog and handle Sammy,
and feel proud of Daniel for being such a talented little dude as I watch him skate.

Finish at Volcom, and then head to the Bark Park with Sammy.
Watch Sammy run.
And run.
And run.

Acquire the privilege of carrying Aidia's big pink jewelry box that she insists on bringing into the dog park
and doesn't want to hold anymore.
Get a shower by an overgrown poodle shaking it's head.
Keep Aidia away from the puddles.

Pile in to the car and head home.
Cook tacos for dinner and eat around Aidia's little table for the Vitamin Water Party she invites us to.
Start the process of cleaning our carpets with the cleaner Ray rented the night before.
Put Aidia in the bath and the cat in the bathroom with her while we clean the carpets upstairs.
Watch the cat find interest in the bathwater.
Finish carpets just in time to get the cleaner back to Albertsons.
Feel exhausted but thankful the house doesn't smell like Sammy's pee anymore.
Get Aidia out of the bath and feed her Ramen for dinner while she watches My Little Pony in her playhouse. Clean up last things that were in disaray from doing the carpets.
Fall asleep while laying with Aidia on the couch and surfing Netflix.

Wake up. Smell dog pee.

Hello, Monday.
