Day 255

So how did my day start today? With Heloise telling me I had to take the flags off the car, and Tim telling me how the boys "usually" have their kiwi. Like I don't know that after 9 months of being here.

Luckily I had a laugh at the school with Michelle and Steve as we talked about birds, and how each of us are creeped out by them. Steve doesn't like when they flap their wings, and I talked about my not trusting their shifty eyes. It was a good conversation for a smile. Who knew the 3 of us had the same fear?

I walked home and am doing a complete clean up of my room. I'm going to pack away things I won't need before going back to Canada, and then I'm going to pack for Peterborough :D YAY!

Alright so while packing up my big suitcase I watched "Big Bang Theory", then watched the finale of American Idol. Mom, in case you haven't watched yet, all I will say is I don't think I'm going to watch it without Simon. I almost cried a few different times throughout the episode and during his good byes. Now I'm waiting for my nails to dry so that I can get my clothes out of the washing machine, then into the dryer, and put things into the Peterborough case. Man sitting around doing nails etc gets you tired. I have to walk up to the school in a bit to take Nathaniel his football kit he forgot here this morning, then up to the bank. It says it's supposed to be 17 out today, but it sure didn't feel like it in my shorts and tube top when I dropped the boys off. I've since changed, and hope I'll be warm enough in the new outfit.

So I took the flags off the car. I wasn't happy about it, and you can guarantee that when no one else is home, I'll be putting them back on, but anyway...it's done for now. I went to pick Nathaniel and Josh up. We were half way through the first path, my arms filled with both boys' football kits, when Nathaniel realized he'd forgotten his homework. I tell ya, between Zach wearing the wrong shoes, Nathaniel forgetting his football stuff this morning, and now this...that school is going to think I'm SO unorganized. Anyway, we walked back, got it, and finally made it to the 2nd path, when I told the boys I couldn't carry their bags anymore. I said it was no different than carrying Zach. Nathaniel was walking uber slow, and complaining about his arms hurting, so trying to get compliments (I think), Josh took everything. We got back to the house, Heloise was in, and I went upstairs to grab my stuff for Peterborough. That's when I heard Josh complaining about his shoulders hurting so that Heloise would then ask him why, and he could tell her that he carried everything home. I still wasn't talking to him.

I wrapped my cousin's gift, and went downstairs to see if I could leave. I could. Josh tried to say bye to me, but I made it known to him that I was saying bye to the others. - He still hasn't apologized, and I will speak to him about it on Tuesday.

The drive down was fine. I made a quick stop at Starbucks, and only got stuck in a little traffic around 6:30. I still made it to Peterborough around 7 though, so it was fine. I came straight to Tom's, waited for him to finish what he was doing, and called my Uncle. The two of us then went to my Nan's to say hi, and then to my Aunt and Uncle's where they heated me up some dinner, and we hung out for the next couple of hours.

My cousin, her husband and their children showed up. I cannot believe how big the boys have gotten. Stanley is so tall, and Ashton is the cutest boyish child ever. He says he'll give me a hug tomorrow, today he was still to unsure about me. Hehe. I hung out with them for a bit, and when Tom called after his shower, I went to leave. Before walking out of the living room...Andy showed me his turtle. LMAO. He's the best. I walked back to Tom's where a friend of his, and his roommate were waiting, and the 4 of us got into the Beast and drove to someone else's house to discuss plans.

Then we headed bowling. We had an awesome night. Complete with singing "Vindaloo" as loudly as possible in the car. I could not stop laughing. Sam - the roommate - challenged me in our game of bowling, and by some miracle...I won. I had SO much fun! I love coming to Peterborough. More singing as we drove 2 of the girls home, torturing poor Sam with "Vindaloo" once again, and then the 3 of us came back to theirs.

Sam and I were watching Sex and the City, but Tom didn't approve, so he's changed it. Sam's gone to bed, so my cuz and I are now watching Quantum of Solace, and soon enough, I will pass out on this couch. Good Night xx
