Day 92

Ok so first things first...I owe you guys some pictures. So here we go.

Obviously these are some of the pictures from the Saturday night...Sunday's will have to be tomorrow.

I all of a sudden feel like I'm going to be sick...so I'm going to try and make this one quick.
I did not get out of bed willingly today. My alarm went off and I thought, "Surely it's not time yet". But I got up, got ready and went downstairs. Homework and breakfast was over and done with, and I walked Josh and Nathaniel to school. Zach is off all week and there was no way he was leaving the house if he didn't have to. - Heloise was home -

It was a nice walk. We met up with Toni's sister Tina and her kids, who are friends of the boys, and her and I talked about Toni and my night out. We arrived at school and it was much quicker than normal. They went in, and I had a peaceful walk home. Even the cold was just right. My hands were freezing, and you could see my breath...but I was loving it. Perfect!

When I got back I asked Zach if he wanted to go bowling. That was the plan we had made earlier today. Apparently he had since changed his mind. I wrote in some cards, and then came up to get my shoes. Heloise was home working so I thought I'd take him out anyway. When I came back down, he had expressed to Heloise that he didn't want to go bowling anymore...he wanted to go to Crazy Kids, with me. SO...my first day as a 24 year old, and I was running around in a huge jungle gym, going down slides, and of course, playing in a ball pit (Aunt Cindy :p) I buried Zach in them which he thought was quite funny, and he pretended he was swimming in them. I'm not gonna lie...I was wondering what else was swimming in them. He jumped on the crocodile, and we played some more. At one point he hurt his knee, so we decided to take our lunch break. I thought I'd get something as well cuz I was running around anyway, and I thought I'd be having popcorn for supper.

I ordered, and when I sat back down at the table, he informed me he was finished for the day and wanted to go home. Hmmm...so much for that work out. Our food came, and as we ate, he told me how light bulbs were invented. It's a very interesting story about builders in case you didn't know. Haha. The things his little imagination comes up with are awesome. We finished up, and headed out.

We were right by freeport and had quite a bit of time to spare, so without giving Zach the choice, I pulled into the parking lot. We walked in and looked in some shops. He really behaved and we had a nice time. Then we went into Starbucks. I got a London Fog, and spoke to the lady that now knows me :p and Zach got a chocolate twizzle. It's a couple of marshmallows, covered in chocolate stars, on a stick. He gave me a bite and it was delicious. By the time we got to the car though...he didn't want anymore.

We drove home, watched a little bit of TV, and then it was time to get Nathaniel. Off to swimming in the mad rush we're always in, and the boys walked out into the pool area. Because it's almost Christmas, they were just doing races for the whole lesson. Nathaniel won all 4 of his, and Zach came in 3rd twice, 2nd once and won once I think. Changing back into their clothes was a challenge, as always. I don't know what it is about swimming, but something transforms Zach. He gets into this daze in the change room and needs a rocket up his bum. He wouldn't hurry no matter what I said. By the time we got out, not only were we running late to get Josh, but it was pitch black. When we arrived at the school, poor Josh was standing there with Tina and her children. It looked as though everyone else had already started heading home, and Tina was on the phone with Heloise. Luckily Josh has seen the way Zach is in the change room, so he had guessed what had happened, and asked Tina to wait with him. Thank Goodness!! I still felt terrible though.

I drove them home, and in the chaos, forgot the crisps I was supposed to pick up on my way. I dropped the boys off, and headed out again. When I returned, I went on my computer, and was also helping Josh with his math homework. I impressed myself when I actually knew what I was talking about. - That never happens with Math -

It was dinner time so we put everything away, and ate. Once we finished that, Josh finished his homework and the boys went up to bed. Toni and I had decided not to do the movie. I really didn't think I'd last through one that started at 8:15. She came over instead. With her, she brought Christmas presents. She got me the Tatty Teddy I saw and wanted. He's wearing a Santa hat and coming out of a chimney. And she also got me the Twilight box set of journals I've been eyeing for months! I couldn't believe it. She's awesome :D

We played a few rounds of Twilight Scene It, and then watched a few different videos on You Tube. When we realized it was already 10 o'clock, we cleaned up and she went home. It was then that I came upstairs. (Up until this point, I had felt fine). The second I got upstairs though, I couldn't breathe properly, and while I was in the shower I was sure I was going to be sick. I'm still not feeling well now, and definitely need some sleep. So Good Night xx
