Day 269

Sitting here waiting for the first kick off of the World Cup, and I thought I'd write about my morning. It didn't start off so well, but once the boys were at school, I'd filled out my football pool, and I was on my way to Starbucks...things had turned around. I was smiling knowing that tomorrow's going to be a good day, and I had my England music pumping.

I drove to Braintree, had a nice time drinking my tea, and I wrote a letter. When I got back, I watched some Gavin and Stacey, discussed plans for tomorrow's game, and folded some laundry. I then ran up to the bank...ok walked as I was in heels...then to get some face paint, and back to the house in time to hang the next load of laundry, and sit down to wait for kick-off. National Anthems begin...and HERE WE GO!!! South Africa vs Mexico...I'm excited!!! Unfortunately though, I have to run out to get Zach in minutes. Damn. I hope they let him out quickly.

I drove to get Zach so we wouldn't miss as much of the game, and when we got back, he grabbed a snack, and the two of us sat down on the floor. I watched while playing Playmobil with him, folding laundry, and updating Tara on the game.

Heloise got in, and luckily she went to get the other 2 from football so that I wouldn't miss anymore of the game. When they got back, Zach and I were still playing, so she made dinner. Tim somehow made it home in time to eat with us - which never happens - so we all had dinner together. When we'd finished, I helped clear up, and then turned the next game on. I occupied the couch for the next 93 minutes, watching the game and speaking to people online. Shortly after the whistle, and a slight allergic reaction (I think) to Jelly, I came upstairs. I should have been asleep hours ago, but instead I was enjoying my Mom's company through Skype while playing around on the computer. Now...it's time to sleep. Good Night xx
