just like my wedding day
so i'm blissfully sleeping... in my ever-so-comfortable full sized bed, when the phone rings. crap. i shoot out of the bed and dash down the hall... the phone's not on the stand! the phone's not on the stand! what the heezy bo jeezy do i do?! so i run in the living room and see it on the couch. (hardly see it because my eyes are covered with those eye bogies you get at night!) i pick it up and try not to have sleepy voice: hello? it's sue perry, wondering if i can babysit her 3 nephews and another boy for their 40 days group at 11. well, that's my mom's group so i'm okay with that. then she asks, "were you asleep?" oooh crap... "no! of course not! at this time of morning?! no..." heh heh. so i take a shower and guess what? i continue cleaning my room! gee whiz... and i'm still not done! so then i babysit from 11 to 2:30... those guys are a handful. the 3 brothers, as usual, were pretty well- behaved, except for the fact that it was at their grandparents' house, so they felt like they ran the place. but nooooo, I RAN THE PLACE! *sigh*
long day. then i got home and CLEANED MY ROOM some more... went through all my school stuff from this year and threw away some and filed some away for future reference... then i was clipping bushes in the front when my mexi kiddos pulled out a slip'n slide and played. they kept yelling for me to play with them. it was soooo hot, but i told myself that i had to finish the stupid bushes. i was sooo sweaty! so finally i bagged all the cut off pieces and, still wearing my WHITE T-SHIRT and basketball shorts, ran over and slid down the slip'n slide. they, of course, thought this was the funniest thing ever. kids are so interesting. so i played with the, for like an hour and then decided i needed to go back in. came in, dried off, blah...
now i am being told to go work on my room again. but i really don't want to. it's starting to feel like a tomb, but it's so cool that i know where EVERYTHING is! how exciting! i have been through every single object i own in 3 days! i so happy! and underneath my bed is so organized, and the top of my closet is pretty, and my desk drawers and my bookshelves and my clothes. it's amazing. but i am still not finished, and i have to make 2 more posters for the airport when we get marcy. the one i've made is really pretty, it says "we missed you!" and is all colorful. if I had been out of the country for 5 months, I'd enjoy seeing it.
so yeah. c'est la vie.
