We have spent most of the day chilling out which is honestly my ideal day! We have snacked all day and watched films in our pyjamas. I couldn't have asked for a better day! It's nothing like I was expecting!

And it only seems to be getting better. After our last film, I managed to convince mom into letting us watch The Avengers, using my puppy dog eyes and saying it's only fair as I haven't watched them and I want to AND pulling the birthday card she allows it, while also deeming it okay for Rose to watch too. She turns off the TV leaving me and Rose in confusion as I was going to let Rose pick the next film.

"WHAT, no mom come on, it's Rose's turn to pick a film!"

"And she can pick a film but it will have to be tomorrow because we have plans in 2 hours and need to get ready so chop, chop!" mom announces. 

"More plans? Mom, you've already given me so much today. I don't need anymore, we can just stay in and order, ooo pizzas! yeah pizza! please mom" I beg her, I watch as I nearly manage to convince her as I pull Rose to her face and get Rose to use her puppy dog eyes as well as my own but she instantly straightens her face before standing up and taking Rose out of my arms, 

"No can do bug, these plans have been made for a couple of weeks and we can't cancel. Do you forget it's also Valentine's day, do you know how hard it is to book something on today of all days?" mom tries to reason with me but the thought of leaving home right now means I have to go put actual clothes on rather than pyjamas and that is wayyy too much effort. 

"Well it can't be that hard. You probably just drop the SJ bomb or something?" I chuckled at her face as she furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. 

"SJ bomb what is that?"

"Scarlett Johansson, you know like 'Hi, this is Scarlett Johansson, I would like a table for 4 at 7pm please'" I trail off trying to impersonate her voice. 

"I do not sound like that and plus I have someone to do that for me sooo..." she sticks her tongue out and goes to walk away. 

"you do sound like that fyi!" I shout as she leaves the room.

"If I sound like that then so do you bug! We sound exactly the same!" she calls from halfway up the stairs as I go running after her. 

-----

"Bug, why are you not ready?" Mom asks as she enters my room, already dressed in a cute summer dress that can pass for nice evening wear. 

"I don't know what to wear, I am not wearing a dress and I don't have anything else to wear. I only have jeans and I don't even know if that's appropriate for where we are going because you won't say an-and" I start to panic, I don't understand why. I haven't got a reason to panic, mom is right here and she will help me. 

"You can wear whatever you want, baby, even if it's joggers and a hoodie, then you can wear that, I promise. Would you like some help?" Mom rests her hand cupping the back of my head as I gaze up at her. 

"Yes please."

"Okay, let's see..." She walks to my walk-in wardrobe as she looks through my clothes. "Did you want to wear jeans or joggers?" she asks again.

"Are you sure I can wear joggers mom? I don't want to wear them and look like an idiot." I mutter as I make my way to her. 

"Bug, if you want to wear joggers I promise you can! How about these joggers? black joggers with your white crop top and the black ripped jean jacket?" Mom picks out all the items holding them up to me as I nod and start to make my way back to my bed and start getting changed not even caring that mom is still here.
