This week…

It’s been a long week. I’m going to attempt a semi-early night…Hopefully it works. This getting up at 8:00 AM every morning is for the birds. Tuesdays and Thursdays are going to kill me when the semester starts! O.o Ahhhhh!

Anyway…The Critters have had College for Kids all week…Friday will be their last day for it. They’ve had fun. Harley has a pirate vest and hat (complete with eye patch), a clay model-thing of The Black Pearl that he made…He’s coloured a picture of a cartoonish Jack Sparrow, & a picture of a pirate ship he painted. They have a couple other things they’ve done, but he hasn’t gotten to bring them home yet.

Sonja did two experiments in ‘Potions’ class on Wednesday. One she ended up with some kind of purple ooze/slime stuff. *pokes at it with a stick* The other they used baking soda and vinegar to inflate a balloon in a plastic bottle…Or something like that. They’ve learned a couple card tricks…Made paper mache’ owls (Sonja showed me hers today…It’s multi-coloured…She’s named it Tawny because it was a pain when she was trying to get the paper mache’ to stick to the balloons. *laughs*)…They’ve also made wands, house scarves, and brooms. Tomorrow they will be playing Quidditch.

I’ll be MIA over the week-end. [Not with the way that I’ve been updating anyone would really notice anyway. *laughs*] Thing is…Baldwin has his festival thing going on…They call it Troutarama. I’m not sure why, but apparently, for at least the last couple years, Todd’s family has gone down there and camped out in Baldwin for the week-end.
Monday Todd asked if I wanted to go down there with him (this was even prior to him asking me to be his girlfriend). I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to…I knew Mum had said something about going to the Flywheelers since it’s this week-end, and the Critters will be away. When I told her he’d invited me, she seemed shocked that I hadn’t just agreed to go.

Anyway…Talked to Todd Tuesday and he wasn’t even sure if he was going to be able to go, as he had to pay some bills. Phone rang at 3 AM this morning…(Which is probably why I’m a bit of the extra tired…Since I couldn’t manage to get back to sleep until after 5. *falls over*). Anyway…Todd was calling to ask if I still wanted to go with him. So…I will be going to Troutarama this week-end.

Harley’s last T-ball game was tonight…He’s glad to be done. Dan was there. *rolls eyes* For some reason he felt the need to come stand by my Mum & me. Bloody hell…Why couldn’t he just stay over with his hippo & her kids. It was obvious that Harley wasn’t interested in the game…He would of rather of been sociable with everyone else.

*yawns*
*falls over*
 

Well…I’m going to go put XenaCow in a Neopet hotel, play a couple games (maybe), and curl up into a ball and go to sleep. Sleep would be good.

the kids sound like they are having fun!! I wanna go! lol.

I’m glad the Critters had fun at college! Sounds like a blast. Oooo…Yay for Sissy spending time with Hippie over the weekend. That’s so great! I is much of the happies for you. 🙂 *kicks Dan* Hehehe. *looks around* You must’ve already gone to bed. I missed you by only a few minutes, it seems. *pout* *lol* *HUGS*

I wanted to tell you not to worry…Derrick & I are fine! My mom & I talked, and I realized that there are things that I, too, need to change. This time he is the one in a totally different/new place. As my mom pointed out, which I realized as well, I’m basically an only child; I’m used to getting what I want. Being married, however, means compromise, and accepting that I can be wrong, that I can’t always get what I want; obviously, that wouldn’t be fair to the other person. [You know me, though: I don’t like to fail, likewise I don’t like to be wrong.] My mum pointed out, however, that with marriage (or even a close friendship) it doesn’t matter who was right or wrong, just as long as you put love ahead of the hurt or anger. Thing is, I know I can be selfish. [But, who isn’t at times? It’s human nature.] I also know that I’m a proud person. You’ve known me long enough to know these faults in me, too. When I come to you out of anger or whatever, I know I paint a picture that Derrick is always in the wrong, but I want you to know that he does take care of me. We do love each other very much. && I thank you still for giving him another chance.

yay for early nights! I managed one! *happy* haha Oo the college thingie sounds fun! I wanna go haha oO yay for weekend with Todd! Have fun!
