It's Sunday!!!

It is finally Sunday night! And i am pleased to announce that as of 4pm my babysitting duties were over!!

It was a very long weekend and also very tiring. To start off i took the baby monitor Friday night so i could wake up with Jake and let Amanda sleep in. Jake decided to wake up at... 5:30am! Yup. Early morning start for me!

I was right about what me and Amanda ended up doing Friday night haha. We did our girl talk for a few hours and were going to watch Texas Chain Saw Massacre:The Next Generation except she fell asleep so i kicked her upstairs. Oh and btw it was not scary at all! The only scary part in there was Matthew McConaughey b'cos he can be a creepy fucker! Wow he was psychotic!

Saturday Amanda and I took the boys up to Nick's school so we could wear Jake out. It worked though he fell off his scooter 2 times and yelled/cried a bit. Amanda got Jake to sleep till 7am (Sunday), lucky bitch! Also that night i found out that USA were doing a Pirates of the Caribbean night! They played all 3! :-) We have the 1st one so i recorded the last 2 and watched them last night. It was a good night.

Today i honestly thought i was going to lose my mind. Jake was having a bad morning! It was bad! He was just getting so upset over nothing in particular.

BUT the good news is i made it through the weekend. Still have 2 brothers and 1 dog. I think i did a pretty good job!

Anyway that was my weekend! Was yours any better?

Tonight made up for my crappy weekend, i got to talk to Josh on MSN and talked to my dad on the phone for a little bit.

Short week this week! Thanksgiving is on Thursday and on Wednesday i will have been in America for a YEAR!! This past year has gone by so quick and i have experienced so much! I am very grateful to be here.

We're having Thanksgiving here so i can escape to my room if i need to haha but we have no idea how many people will actually come over!

Cannot wait to put up the Christmas tree and go Christmas tree hunting again! Hopefully i can do that again. Last year i got to go with my Uncle Gary to cut down his Christmas tree and it was fun!

Long Weeked has Begun....

My long weekend officially started today when i woke up. Now i mean long as in "I'm babysitting all weekend long" long. Luckily i have Amanda, Jake's hab or aid worker, staying until Sunday.

Now i just mentioned on Twitter that i am beyond tired. Lemme explain that one - mainly for Lindsay so he can remove his mind from the gutter - i went to bed last night at around 1.30am and woke up at 7.30 thinking it was Thursday and i had class. Lemme tell you, i was not happy to figure out i didn't need to be awake and by that stage i couldn't fall back asleep!

It's now 10.50 and i have nooo idea what time im going to be woken up! See me and Amanda made a deal; im going to have the baby monitor tonight and she'll have it tomorrow night. The baby monitor is so we can hear Jake wake up because he gets locked in his room at night so we don't have to worry about him getting into trouble while everyone is asleep. Normally on the weekends he wakes up between 5 and 7am, but thats because dad is home and dad isn't home so my fingers are crossed that he'll sleep in!!

Amanda and I ordered pizza for dinner tonight and had our girl talk. :-) Tomorrow were planning on a Scooby Doo marathon with Disney movies and some boardgames! Which will be good as i think i'm going to be kinda tired all day.
Anyway i have just put on a Winnie the Pooh movie :-) Its a christmas one and i have seen it many a time!

Will try and sleep soon. G'night

Revelations

Today is the best day i have had since Halloween. I don't mind sharing the events from that night now. It's personal but this is my online journal and i want to write it down so here i go.....

Now if you don't remember the Halloween blog, here it is. So i got extremely drunk. Slept with Dustin. Yup. We were both drunk, and it seemed like a good idea at the time (as most things do!) It was my first time too. Ha-ha, yeahhh that was a interesting night considering i don't remember much and what i do remember all blurs into together! I can't say i regret it, i just regret the manner in which it happened. So of course without having much memory of that night i couldn't remember if, you know, we used protection. Hence we writing this blogpost here. BUT my worrying is over now :-)

Moving on from that.

Two Sunday's ago i had my bowling date with Hayden. Now don't go putting air quotes or saying it in a sleazy way *coughLindsaycoughCindycough* ha-ha! It was a fun night, we played 5 games and i got to win the 1st 2. It was a fun date! Then last Saturday, Hayden came over with a movie cos i was babysitting my brothers. He brought 1408 which was meant to be scary but just turned out to be weird. He met my dad and step-mum too!

Sunday i got to talk to Josh over msn, i posted some of that convo in the previous post. And in the post before that one, this one here, me and Josh created our "To-Do List" that we hope to accomplish in the week we have together when i eventually head home. It was an emotional convo for me, though it didn't help i was listening to Daughtrys 'Home'. We both came to the realization that when we get to see each other again it's going to be emotional for the both of us. Though i think i'll be the one who will be crying! Somehow i think when our week is up that it will be much harder for me to say goodbye to Josh than it will to mum and dad.

Ahhh bugger! I just had a thought as to what else i wanted to write and i got side-tracked with my movie and now..... i've lost it!! Oh im sitting here watching The Lion King :-) It's my all time favourite movie next to Beauty and the Beast. It's my night to be a kid and be happy!

This weekend i'm babysitting my brothers all weekend. Dad and Phyllis are going to San Antonio together. This will the first trip they've had together, without the boys, and in a different state for quite a few years i can imagine! I know they will have a good time and i won't be alone! I'll have Amanda, Jake's habatation or aid worker, with me which will be interesting. Hopefully we both survive the weekend! It's going to be filled with lots of boardgames and girl talk i think.

Ohh yay i remember what i wanted to type now! In 6 days (Nov 25) i will have been here in America for exactly a whole year! Yes a whole entire year! This past year has just flown by. Next week will be my 2nd Thanksgiving and at least this time around i'll know everyones names!

Hmm i think that's all....? Yeah must be :-)
Have a great weekend
