Day 267

Didn't get up to too much today.
Got the boys ready for school, and there was a bit of a panic at one point. You see Josh yells at Zach when Zach's not getting ready quickly...so when I was using the washroom and heard Josh screaming, I figured that's what it was about. When I heard the panic in his voice however, I ran out of the washroom to hear him saying Zach was suffocating. OH MY GOD! I thought. I looked at Zach and he was trying to get his sweater on. I was so worried, but luckily, when I looked closer, I realized it was more panic than anything. You see, Zach was crying so his mouth was open, and he therefore couldn't get the sweater on properly. The top of the neck was on the top of his head, and the bottom of the collar, just under his chin. He wasn't suffocating, as his face was free, he just couldn't get the collar where he wanted it. Poor thing. I got him to close his mouth for a second, and after a few seconds of struggling, freed him of the captivating neck.

Finally we were on our way to the school. I was sure we were going to be late. Josh wasn't feeling well today so he wasn't going to school, and nothing we did was happening quickly. Somehow, luck was on my side. We got to the school and managed to get Nathaniel and Zach to their classes on time. Granted Zach was one of the last one's in...ok, possibly the last, but he was right behind the person who had just gone in.

After leaving those 2, Josh and I walked into the office to let them know he wasn't going to be in class, then back to the car. We came to the house and he went straight up to his room where he then slept for about 2 and a half hours. I did laundry and watched the season finale of "Glee". When he came down, I got his lunch, he ate and then the two of us watched "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs". We've just watched how it was made, and are watching the previews now. We'll leave to pick the boys up in a minute.

Got the boys, drove back to the house and after the boys got their snack and Nathaniel did his spellings, I got Josh his medicine, and started Zach's homework. That took a while, but I think we had fun doing it anyway. Then the 3 of us sat down to watch Scooby Doo :| And I folded laundry. When Heloise got back, she began dinner, and I walked up to get Nathaniel. It was a beautiful day out and I had yet to do any walking so it was really nice. My phone became possessed on the way, and wouldn't stop ringing at one point. It was my text msg ring but it went on for seriously like 2 minutes! Anyway, I got Nathaniel, and it was so nice to just be the two of us walking back. We had a nice conversation. When we returned to the house, I came up to change as I figured I'd freeze at the movie theatre. When I put my jeans on though, I decided I didn't want to change. I switched back into my shorts, grabbed a jacket and went downstairs.

I said bye to everyone, and gave each of the boys a kiss. Nathaniel, who yesterday, thought I was leaving in 6 months, asked me if I was going back to Canada when I kissed him. I said no, and Josh said "I think if she was she'd be crying". I told him that was very true. Then Nathaniel said something about not being able to cry if I was shot...and I think as I was laughing and heading out the door, Heloise said something about there's no way around it, she's leaving, you won't be able to keep her here...or something like that (I Think). Anyway, I left smiling, and drove to meet Toni at the movies.

We bought our tickets, got our seats, and then I came out to buy the popcorn etc. It was then that I missed the trailer for "Eclipse". AND apparently it was a new one. DAMMIT! It was all the 2nd cashier's fault! I had ordered, and the guy was ringing me in, and when he went to get my popcorn, the 2nd cashier started ringing someone else in cuz her debit machine wasn't working. The guy clearly felt bad and was trying to hurry them along, but it didn't work :( Sigh. I hope I get to see it sometime soon!

The movie "Letters to Juliet" was brilliant. I have another favourite. It was quite honestly one of the best love stories I've seen in a long time. It was great. I can't wait to watch it again! There were a few parts where I got goosebumps, I almost began to blubber at another part, and at one point...Toni and I turned to look at each other and in unison with quite a few other girls in the theatre we went "awwwww". Yes, it was great. I really loved it.

Now I'm back and have had my shower...I think I've got strepped throat, so I'm going to speak to my Mom briefly, and then try to get a good night's sleep. Good Night xx
