Amy went into the bathroom, climbed into the tub, pointed at the knobs and said "fix it!" I couldn't say no to the sweetness and so she got a bath.

Later I was on the phone to Air Quality control (burn permit), Environmental Safety (mosquitoe control for the neighborhood), the party company regarding our may event and the middle school principal and gym coach regarding Tommy's hostile environment.

I got a haircut, dropped by Office Depot to pickup Cathy's copies, dropped by the bowling alley to confirm the girlscout event tomorrow, went to the Gateway store to see if the closing had any good specials on--no such luck, went to Home Depot, then the bank, then the rental company.

Finally I returned home to start splitting an impossible amount of wood for a single person to handle.
