Was in a very writing mood on the way home, but didn't have a chance to indulge, and now it's kind of left me. Oh well, I'm sure it will come back at some point. Am back now, and the boys have already driven me up one wall and back down the other side. They are wonderful, and great on their own, but together they just antagonize each other to no end. Yesterday was an ok day with Will, he's in therapy now, by the way, and on meds for ADHD? I think? Meds for something. I'll ask mom, as I'm sure he's feeling sensitive about it. Anyway, it was an ok day. I was going to take them to see stardust, and then mom decides she wants to come, which is fine, great actually, except that that means we have to wait for her to get back and are consequently all late to the movie. So, I take the boys in while she goes to get 'refreshments', and we annoy the entire audience because we are late. She comes in a few minutes later, and can't see because it's dark. She's gotten a 'deal' (for money, perhaps, but not for health, and you know I suppose that consequently isn't a deal for money either, as we will all pay with our health...) for herself and the boys, I've said I don't want anything. So, she's gotten this thing with the largest popcorn, and it comes with two large drinks ('Fucker's as big as a human', in the words of Eddie Izzard, 'tastes of chicken...'). So the boys have diet sodas and a super-large popcorn. And we've missed the beginning. I don't care for myself, but, you know, I wanted them to see it because it's good. Anyway, halfway through the movie, Mom goes to get a refill. A refill for the super-large popcorn. a;ldsifh;awoigf????? Bah!!! Yessssss. So. I am a little frustrated. Anyway. Will had a tantrum later in the night when I was going to watch a film with Dad. He could not watch it because it was too late and it was rated R, and he had an absolute fit. God, I am never having children.
This morning was better - Nonna and Mom and Dad and I took the dog and went to the farmer's market downtown, and it was nice and more relaxed, though keeping any portion of my family together really is like herding cats. But it was nice, and it reminded me of the farmer's market in Dunedin. I'm going to sign off now because things are getting a bit crazy again, and I really want a shower. Maybe if I do it now I can avoid the worst part of the chaos. Bye all.
Love - B
