Day 237

So I was sitting up in my bed this morning around 6:30, when a knock came at my door. It was Zach. He told me he was scared because he came downstairs and no one was there. I explained to him that it was because he went down earlier than normal, as I gave him a hug. He asked if he could come in, and I said that would be fine until his Dad went downstairs. I crawled back into bed, and told him he could sit next to me. He sat and talked to me while I played some Family Feud. Not long after, I heard Tim downstairs, and it was a good thing, because I knew I had to start getting ready or I'd never be down on time. Well, he went down, and I was somehow ready early.

Heloise and Tim left, and the boys and I had time to PARTY! I got my ipod, and Josh looked for the stand for his docking station. After a while, I realized the new sound system had one, and I connected my ipod to that. Nathaniel wanted to dance around like a chicken with his head cut off, and I said that was fine. He also wanted it to be dark like a disco, so we closed the blinds. Then they wanted to play Ludo. Zach was colouring pictures for the "disco", and I quickly took him upstairs to do teeth and hair while Josh was up there. When we came back down Zach continued his pictures, and the rest of us played Ludo.

After a morning of fun, it was time to take them to school. We walked up, and even had time to go the long way! When we arrived, the boys went in, and I came back to the house. I checked on the laundry, and it wasn't dry yet, so I decided to check my e-mails. I was listening to my Ipod, and it switched to Adam Gregory. It was his slower stuff, and with how homesick and teary eyed I felt...it was not a good thing to be listening to. I decided I had to get out of the house, and I drove up to Starbucks. I really wasn't in a happy mood.

I got my smile, but then as I sat in Starbucks, with my drink, I let my mind wander, and was almost in tears again. I was texting with friends and a cousin, and after about an hour, I decided it was time to leave. I went next door to the Cadbury store. I was only going in for my regular dark chocolate...but with the way I was feeling, I REALLY wanted a full chocolate bar to myself..all in one go. I began browsing, and that's when I came across a bag of 10 Cadbury Creme Eggs for 2 pound. That was it! My decision was made. I paid, and walked back to the car. Still upset, but at least I had chocolate. I got in the car and drove to the co-op where I bought a bag of raisins. Back to do the laundry and watch Desperate Housewives, then an episode of One Tree Hill. Not just any episode though. It was the season finale from last season - I'm trying to catch up cuz it's one of my favourite shows - anyway, it was soooo good, and I was quite close to blubbering like crazy. In fact, if I didn't have to get the boys...it would have been worse.

I had left relatively late, as I couldn't stop the episode with just 5 minutes to go! So I booked it up the street and through the paths. I wasn't late for anyone, but when I did get there, Zach's class was already being let out. Just in time! I was able to relax a little bit, and out he came. Then we waited around for Nathaniel. When he actually came out, the 3 of us walked up to the High Street to collect a parcel from the post office for Heloise. When we got back to the house, we quickly got homework over with, I then popped popcorn, and made hot chocolate, and the 3 of us sat down to watch the rest of "Avatar". Nathaniel had asked in the morning if, because we alway get interrupted when playing a game, just the two of us could play Battleship, so we began to...but then he got too involved in the movie, and we put it aside.

Heloise and Josh got home around 5, and Josh watched with us until dinner time. We ate, and I ran up to wash my hair so that I could watch the younger 2 when she took Josh to swimming. While she did that, we watched the rest of Avatar, then a part of a Spongebob episode, and by the end of that, she was back. The boys went up to bed, and I turned on the end of "Nights in Rodanthe", I shouldn't have done that. When you're almost in tears all day, you should NOT watch the end of that movie. Luckily I wasn't focusing on it too much though. When it ended, 27 Dresses started, and that's what I'm watching now until "Glee" starts. Josh and Tim came home, Josh went to bed, and after "Glee", I'll be in bed, Good Night xx

Ooh and I forgot to tell you...on Sunday, Heloise found a little surprise from Jelly in a pile of her clothes. You'll never guess what though. Knowing the cat, you'd think it was a bathroom surprise...but NOPE...this time...it was a dead Vole! EW!

Ok I'm done. Night xx
