So I am going to tell you a joke at the end of my post!  🚨look here🚨 so I started off today by going to school. It’s Friday and nobody listens on Friday.  So when I got home I got dressed for black belt class. After I got dressed for baseball then had to rush to the field. At the end we won 10-0. So we are making sugar cookie that look like footballs.  That’s it so here is my joke.    🚨why can’t you hear the pterodactyl use the restroom?     Because the P is silent.

I woke up and had school after a long weekend.  I was not fun today. I finally got home and I had 20 min to get ready for class at king tiger. I got a leadership credit tonight. When class was over I had to go home and change for scouts. They worked on sewing badges. When I got home I had some homework to do.  I couldn’t get it to load so I had to wait until my mom got home to get her to fix it. That is basically my day.

So I forgot to set an alarm and my mom woke me at 7:20. It only took me 20 min to get ready so I had a little less than an hour of free time before I had to go to school.   Tomorrow I am going to get up earlier so I have more time before I have to catch the bus. After school I took class I could only stay for 1 class today because I had baseball practice.  I think I might be one of the better outfielders on the team.   😉.
