Day 41

I'm lying in bed listening to the new Michael Buble album, because my mom is the BEST!!!

I woke up today and discovered I am much better at getting up at 6, then I am at 6:30. I have more energy and am a much happier person. - Weird...I know - Anyway, I jumped out of bed, got ready and was downstairs before anyone else. Did the breakfast thing, and as I was getting fruit for the boys, Tim brought a parcel in for me. "I never get mail!" Was my reaction :p It was from my mom. I didn't know what it was. I racked my brain trying to figure out if she had told me anything was coming...Nope. Last I was told, I was getting my things when I'm in Canada NEXT WEEK! So I thought hmm what could it be. I waited until I had a few minutes on my own, and I ripped into the packaging. There was a card, a 4 eyeshadow pallet from Mac, and Michael Buble's CD!!!! I had a huge smile on my face, put it in my room and got the boys ready for school. Homework, shoes etc.

It was just before we had to leave, and Josh absolutely exploded. I wish I was joking. I told the boys to get their coats, and before I knew it Josh was SCREAMING at me at the top of his lungs, and was all of a sudden in tears, walking around in circles and then stomped his way upstairs while he continued screaming. It was all about his sweatshirt. He couldn't find it (as if that was my fault), and he was freaking out. I told him he would have to go without because I was not letting him make the other two late for school. More screaming, and so high pitched I don't know how I understood him. He came back down and screamed some more. Told me it was my fault he wasn't ready cuz I had him sit on the couch while Nathaniel did his homework (because he was being disruptive). I explained that he was wrong because he ALWAYS has his sweatshirt around his waist when he comes downstairs. He wouldn't have it, but I didn't care. I was not letting him get away with treating me the way he did. I was zipping Zach's coat up, and Josh was still saying he wasn't going to school without it. I told him there had to be at least one in his drawer because I folded 3 lastnight. He went back upstairs in a huff, and to no surprise showed up with one in his arms. I could have screamed. All that because he didn't open his eyes. I later told Heloise the story, and before I got to the part about me saying he always had it around his waist, she said it. When we got home later she found the one he clearly had on earlier lying on the bathroom floor. What a morning!

After that fiasco, we made a quick trek to the school. Construction guy wasn't there again. We finally got to the school. I gave Josh his hug, off he went. Then Nathaniel hugged me and went to line up, and then Zach and I waited for his class to be let in.

When I got back, I got changed and got on the wii. I did my weigh in, and my work out to Michael Buble, and when I was finished it felt great. I changed back into my clothes and went down to play High School Musical Sing It! That's right...I'm not ashamed to say it. I also finished it, cuz my singing is just that good :p HAHA yeah right. Another thing on the wii that lies :p Checked some stuff out on the computer, and then went off to get Zach.

I walked up quickly, picked him up, and we waited outside the gate for Heloise. When she arrived, we walked to the car. We saw a friend of Zach's grandparents so we stopped to talk. Zach went up to the lamp post, put his hand on it and ended up getting a sliver. Heloise and I did some intense surgical procedures. - Me with the pin, her with her nails - After a while I had gotten it out enough that she could use her nails and pull the rest.

We drove up to the garden centre and looked around. Then went into the coffee shop for lunch. It was delicious! When we finished we went back into the centre where Heloise picked up a few things, and then we headed home.

When we arrived Zach and I watched some TV, and the two of us played DS until it was time to go get the boys. (I've found a new puzzle game I like, and it works in mine!!!) Heloise, the wee one, and I got into the car and drove to pick up Nathaniel, his friend Archie, Zach's friend Will, and Josh's friend Edward. We drove back to the house, and they were all occupying each other for the most part, so aside from getting some toys down for them, I was free to relax a bit. Nathaniel had to leave at 4:30 for football (Soccer), and so Heloise took Archie back to the school around the same time, and picked up Josh and his friend Oliver. The house was absolutely packed for dinner.

As the boys were eating, I ran up to get a coat because I was freezing. I didn't plan on eating dinner tonight cuz I was going to the movies and was getting popcorn, but when I returned from my room, Heloise had a plate full of food ready for me so I couldn't say no. I finished that and said good night to Josh and Zach, and Toni came to pick me up. We drove out to Braintree and watched "The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus" It was unfreakinbelievable! An amazing movie! So well done, and one of the best I've seen I think. Very hard to explain just how good it was, but it had everything going for it. The talent - Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law! The graphics, the story line. It was AWESOME! - OH! and if you're wondering, I of course had to get popcorn, whether I ate dinner or not...because well...I was at the movies :p

I got home and spoke to my mom for a bit, but soon after, I came upstairs as I was frozen and soooo tired! Now that I'm done my blog, and done listening to Michael Buble for the 2nd and a half time today, I am going to go to sleep. Skating tomorrow I think. It should be good.

There's so much noise going on outside right now...I don't know why. Cars in the driveway and such...and there was a bang at my door...but I'm going to tune that all out very soon, as my eyes are shutting as I sign off. Good Night xoxox
