Dear Diary,
The clothes are on the shelves.
The toys are in the dresser.
The fish is in a Jar.
The gecko is in a tank.
The beds are full of air
The chair is sometimes a bed
The windows have linens
The lights have scarves
The stairs are steep
The locked door has a curtain
The keys are in the turtle
The dog lives downstairs; the cat up
The coats are in the hamper
The shoes are on the shelves
The tv has two remotes; the other has none
The walls frame the art
The clock tells the wrong time
The microwave is on top of the fridge
The toaster and radio boast Hello Kitty
The cats food is in china
The west side is summer
The east side is winter
The south side sees beach and
The north side is partition
Three people
Three pets
Three rooms
22-2 Hill Street

Fantastic Fireworks
Dear Diary,
Grandpa, Bill, Arick and I went to the Renegades game at Dutchess Stadium on July 3. The tickets are very affordable for anyone looking for something to do with the family. If you look at the schedule you can see what nights they do fireworks. There is also a Rascal's kids club!
The endgame fireworks were FANTASTIC!
Arick and I were distracted easily by everything. First Arick was doing the bouncy rides. Then we were aggravated by my mis-placing our money to spend. Arick had fried dough and we all had hotdogs. Grandpa and Bill had beer. Finally we were settled and watching the game. We saw a double play! There were several attempts to steal bases by the Renegades players but they mostly were picked off. We had t-shirts and cotton candy fired at us (the crowd) and they had a bouncing lottery ball game. One of several numbered balls were bounced around randomly until the music stopped. Whoever had that ball won something. We didn't win. A friendly person in the crowd had a small beach ball that he inflated and that was tossed around in just our section. This became quite entertaining and started to draw other children. It became such a distraction I started to wonder if the players were affected. The ball started to deflate from the abusive swatting but I had sit, click, drive! stickers with me and we used them to block up the busting seams and the ball swtting continued until the fireworks started.
Did I mention that sfter the game there were FANTASTIC FIREWORKS!
In hindsight, I wish I had contacted security earlier to mention that Arick -one of the Sit, Click, Drive! kids was in attendance and ask if he could say to the audience at the end of the game to remember to wear their seatbelt. I am going to remember to do this at our next event.

Definitions of Clean
Dear Diary,
Definition of house clean found at Merriam Webster online" a clean house:
Definition of house clean found at Merriam Webster online" a clean house:
intransitive verb 1 : to clean a house and its furniture 2 : to get rid of unwanted or undesirable items or people transitive verb 1 : to clean the surfaces and furnishings of 2 : to improve or reform by ridding of undesirable people or practices
— house·clean·ing noun
My definitions of Clean:
Clean - when you can move any item (furniture, kitchen counter appliances) and not find a hidden treasure of crumbs, dust or other surprising items.
Surface Clean - After sweeping, vacuuming, mopping, dishes and counter wipes so that when you look but don't touch, everything appears to be clean before you really clean.
Clutter Clean - when the scattered items are in categorized piles waiting to be surface cleaned.
Food, Laundry, Garbage Clean - when you gather laundry and dirty dishes to be washed and garbage to be taken out so that you can find the clutter to clean.
Stealth Clean - when you throw blankets over piles of clutter and laundry or buy room dividers to block the view.
Adrenaline Clean - the magical ingredient that enables you to go from any degree of clean to one higher degree of cleanliness when you receive news of unexpected visitors.
Dinner Party Clean - what you do when you want to avoid Adrenaline Clean. Book a dinner party at your place to motivate you to achieve the top degree of Clean before they arrive.
Teenager Clean - "what mess, it looks fine to me"
Mother-in-Law clean - same as dinner party clean.
Baby Clean - this is the clean that is achieved only after Clean is achieved and addresses all of the tiny invisible clusters of germs that cannot be seen but are taken care of so a baby can crawl on the floor.
Me
P.S.
There is also UN-clean: when there are so many UN-identifed objects not where they belong scattered in such a manner that someone who doesn't know you might consider you have been ransacked.
