Day 240

A little dance, mixed with a little music makes everything better...even if just for the moment.

Our day began with breakfast as usual, but then I decided to show the boys the dance to Steps - "5,6,7,8". They gave up pretty quickly, but were dancing around like fools anyway, and that's all I wanted. We didn't get through the whole song, as it was time to leave, but we were all happy, and were so early leaving, that we had time to walk the long way to school. When we got to school, we were STILL early!

I dropped them off, and came back to the house. What I did between then and heading to Freeport...I can't remember. I think I waited for the plumber to get here...and then left.

When I got to Freeport, I went straight to Starbucks, and had my tea while writing some cards. When I finished there, I knew I had a lot of TV I wanted to watch, some laundry to do, and not a lot of time. I headed towards the Freeport exit, but noticed a window decal to my right. It said "Come on England 2010" and it looked awesome. I went in to see if they sold it there, and if not, wanted to know where they got it. Well it turns out Head office sent it to them, and they checked, but didn't have any extras :( They named a few different places I could check, and I did end up getting some stuff, but will still be on the look out for one that looks like that. Now...this...I think...is where my day turned to a mad panic without me knowing. I checked my phone to see the time as I walked out of the sports store. It was 12:35. I got in the car, and drove back to the house. I almost got hit on the way, as I didn't see a van coming toward me until after I'd already pulled out of a drive I was turning around in. I panicked a little bit, but was ok, and continued on my way.

When I got back to the house, there was a cat in the driveway. One that was going to make for a really nice picture. I left all of my shopping on the front seat, grabbed my camera, and spent the next probably 20 minutes in the front garden. When I came inside, I had to go to the washroom so badly that I ran up the stairs, dropped my parcels in the hall, and ducked into the bathroom. When I came out, I went to check the time or something, and realized my phone was not in my pocket. Odd. I checked a few places I thought it might be, but had no luck locating it. I began to get frustrated, but really wanted to watch "Lost", so I forgot about it for a bit, folded some laundry, and watched it. When it finished, I looked a little more, but still couldn't find it. Now, beginning to panic, I was searching under the seats in the car, and everywhere else I could think of. It was time to get Nathaniel, so I walked up to the school, waited for him and his friend - who were out really quickly - and the 3 of us walked back to the house. Listening to their conversations was hilarious, but I was getting more and more worried about my phone, as I racked my brain, and couldn't for the life of me think of where else it would be.

I unlocked the door, sent the boys inside, and then checked the garden for my phone. Nothing. I came in, made the boys dinner, and searched my room. Still nothing. After the boys and I ate, Nathaniel got ready for Judo, and they went in to play Wii until Heloise got home. When she did, they got ready to leave, and I was alone! I wasn't really having fun though. No, I was still panicking about my phone. I searched the garden again, and called it a number of times, but had switched it to vibrate only - just before losing it - so there wasn't much chance of me hearing it. I went up to my room and spoke to my Mom on Skype while I changed my sheets, and searched my room some more. Still couldn't find it anywhere.

Heloise and the boys came back, and without me knowing, Heloise left again. I wish someone had of told me, as I was outside in my Pyjamas and Spongebob slippers ready to check the car again, before I realized it was gone. I went back up to talk to my Mom, and call a number of phone related places. When Heloise reappeared, I went out to check again, but still didn't have any luck. I had gone through the garden again as well, but it was pointless. I went to bed. xx
