 Today one of those days where i wish i could just disappear into the air. Let me start from the top. I woke up at 7:40 and saw my mom getting ready to go to work. I lied down in my bed trying to sleep again. Then I saw my mom going out the door so i decided to watch her from my window.  I saw that it was snowing little soft balls of snow that were so small i had to squint to see them. Then i noticed my mom's car, which was all white. I really wanted to help her so i ran and got dressed in my snow gear. But the one thing i forgot was my socks. I ran outside with my shoes on halfway and grabbed the snow shovel. As soon as i stepped into the snow i new that it was a bad idea to not wear socks. It was freezing! I can't stop now I thought to myself. I knew that if i stopped i probably wouldn't move again. I ran towards her and then tried to help her. When she saw me she had a surprised look on her face that was telling me i shouldn't have woken up so soon. I tried to help her but i found out that there were ice on the car which was a problem I couldn't solve with a snow shovel. "Go back home Leo it's too early," she said to me. I couldn't stand the cold anymore so i did what she said. I ran back home and look at her through my bedroom window. After awhile she was still out there and i knew i had to help her. And once again i got dressed and got a bowl of hot water. I walked as fast as i dared without dropping the water towards the car. I didn't know if it would work or not but i had to try. I gave it too her. She didn't look very pleased seeing me disobey her but i had to.  She poured it over the drivers mirror and it worked perfectly like it was designed to get rid of ice. She then told me to tell dad that he shouldn't go to work today since of the ice on the road and the little car my dad had couldn't handle it. Then i went home and watched her from my window yet again happy that i could help. She drove away and i sat there watching for awhile longer. I couldn't sleep so i decided that i would go outside and shovel the side walk. After i did that i grabbed my sled and went sledding down our garage way which was slanted if you were wondering. I came home later at 8:30a.m. and started watching TV. I plugged in all the Christmas lights to make it brighter for when my dad and sister woke up. I knew dad wouldn't want me opening the curtains this early so i didn't. Then i got so hungry i had to make garlic bread for breakfast. The dad and Angela woke up and I told him what mom said. He agreed and we all had breakfast. After i was done dad  said i should go shovel out the walkway at back of the house since i already did the front. I did what i was told and then i played outside for a long time. I really didn't want to go back in. I was having so much fun like trying to make snow balls and hitting the bird feeder that we put outside to feed the birds for winter. Lots of birds were gathered there and it was fun watching them fly away. After that i started throwing snow balls at the tree's making the snow on them fall down on me. Also, every once awhile a huge pile of snow would fall down because they were building up too much on a branch and get s me soaked. It was really fun and i guess i lost track of time because by the im i got back it was 12:00. I didn't even do my homework yet so i started on it right away. I had to take a lunch break soon after i was done a bit of my homework. I had some dumpling then went back to my room to work. I finished working at 4:00 since i had a lot of homework to do. I wanted to go out and sled because i knew a few of my friends were going. I went and played for awhile but the snow got all mushy because of the sun and it wasn't any fun any more so i went back home. At home i watched some TV and played some games until my mom came home and made dinner for us. I was starving because of my of my sled exercise. I finished y dinner greedily and ten went to the computer to find something to do. Then i remembered that it was Monday and not Sunday because my dad had stayed home with me. I knew that tommorow i would either be alone at home or with my dad and sister again.
