Day 6

I am ABSOLUTELY exhausted. I know I say that every night...but should I really be falling asleep around 7:50 every night? Oh well, I'm looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow. I'm actually excited to sleep!!! (That never happens with me).

Took the boys to school today, and came home for a bit of a relaxing morning. Helped put some laundry away and saw where everything went for when I'm here alone and have to do it. Cleaned the play room up and spoke to some people I had been waiting to talk to. Which was nice. Of course it made me miss home, but talking to them is definitely better than not.

Around 12:30 Zach finished preschool so him and a friend of his came home to play. They amused themselves so I just sat back and relaxed really. Then, around 3:20, it was time to drop the friend off at school. I piggy backed Zach more than half way, so I think it's safe to say my shoulder/rib is getting better and better. Zach, Heloise and I then went to the park. Their parks are much more amusing than ours. It's not just a swing and a slide. They have a variety of things that spin. - I wouldn't even know what to call them, and they are too hard to describe - but then they had climbing structures as well...Some weird see-saw...and a zip line. Yes, their parks definitely out do any park I've seen in Canada. And I've lived a number of places. Zach got on the Roundabout I think they called it...and asked me to spin him really fast, so I did. I love his laugh :D Cutest thing ever. Once we finished the park activities we walked back to the school to pick Josh and Nathaniel up from soccer. Brought them home for dinner, and before eating my Uncle stopped by to say hi, and then Josh and I rocked out on Guitar Hero World Tour.

After supper Josh went off to Cubs, Nathaniel played ninjabread man on the Wii...- it was cute...the giant cupcakes were trying to eat him - I looked up occasionally, but was writing a letter on the fancy paper I got the other day so I didn't see any of the story or the object of the game, but it looked fun enough. Zachary and I did a magic jigsaw puzzle. It was pretty cool. You put it all together, and there's probably about 25 black spots on it, that when you rub your thumb over, a picture shows up. Very smart idea.

The boys went to bed, and although I was falling asleep I stayed up to talk to my mom online, then Heloise and Tim were watching Forrest Gump - which I have never seen in its entirety -but when I started falling asleep on the couch I decided it was time to give in and come upstairs.

Tomorrow it's off to see Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. And all 3 boys have soccer training. I get the weekends off...and if I wasn't so sleepy, I'd probably go watch, but I think I'm going to take tomorrow morning as a way of getting some hours of sleep back. I will go to their games on Sunday though. Or at least one of their games.

Anyway, seriously finding it hard to keep my eyes open right now so I'm gonna give in and pass out. Party to go to tomorrow night, so until I write about that...Thanks again for reading :D x
