IBAAW

Okay, I said I wouldn't be back, and this is going to be short, because I should be spending time with my billets, but stuff happened, and therefore, I BLOG.

Last night we had a blackout. Ha ha. Around 8.30pm all of the power went out. So, Alana found a flashlight and candles and stuff, but the kids were still freaked out, especially since I kept on making references to scary movies and aliens. Mainly War of the Worlds. They insisted there was no big black hole outside, and I was like "How do you know?" Then John got home, and when he did, Joelle ran across the street, because they had one flashlight, and lots of candles, but no matches! So, she got some matches from us. Then I used the flashlight to go down to my room to get my mp3 player, because it has a radio. That wasn't too helpful though, because all they said was that Hydro Ontario said they knew the power was out, but the didn't know why, or how long it would last. Thanks, guys. Ha ha. So, then we all decided to go to bed, so I had to take a candle with me and make my way downstairs. So, yeah, the whole night was odd, but the shadows and stuff were SO COOL. Ha ha. I turned on my lamp before I went to bed as well, so I knew that the power came back on just before midnight.

Today was our class sugar bush trip, which was pretty fun. I mean, what could be more fun than 5 hours of supervising kids in the cold?!? Ha ha. But actually, I had a good time. Some good memories with the kids, I'm sure. Oh, and with Nick. Ha ha. He has such a little entourage of grade 4/5 girls. It's fantastic. But seriously, how do these kids have so much energy??? They played on haystacks and slides and in mazes ALL DAY. For the whole trip. And in PUDDLES and MUD. And yet, Aaron, who I am billeting with, played from when we got home at 3 until now. So, 2 hours. That's like 7 hours non-stop!!!! It's crazy!!!

I am soooo exhausted.

Anyway, the plan for tonight is that I'm eating dinner here. Then I'm watching Full House, for the last time! Ha ha. But I have to because it's the one where Becky has the twins! Then I'm heading back to the katima-house. So....yeah. That's all!

Thanks for the birthday wishes Lissa and Orry, my loves!!!

And I'm glad you had a nice grad trip Lissy!!!
