So Today...

Pretty much sucked.


First of all... I being the generous person that I am gave up my day off to babysit for my aunt. This was unbelievably stupid on my part because I had much more important things to be doing. Anyway... That's beside the point.


My second mistake was to let my brother come along with me. He tends to bring out the worst in any child his age or younger and I am constantly reminded. Unfortunately taking him with me ALSO meant buying him breakfast at Tim Horton's.


So... my day started out with my cousin's bird having projectile diarrhea, which completely grossed me out. After that I had to fight with them to do their chores that their mom specifically asked me to have them do. This task was even harder with my brother undermining my authority - but in the end almost everything got done.


The next problem was lunch. I am a horrible cook - and the kids know that. Part of our lame freezer-to-oven meal consisted of cheese sticks which had to be baked for 10 minutes. When I put them in the oven I realized that I had accidentally set the timer for 10 HOURS... so I fixed the time to 10 minutes, and completely forgot to start it. So yes... I severely burnt our lunch.


After that it things went pretty normal. At least until my uncle got home... That's usually when everything crashes and burns. I didn't even know he was home until I heard him grounding/yelling at Caleb for not folding laundry. When he was done with that he kind of just went on his way and ignored my existence... which definitely pisses me of - considering the fact that I gave up my day for HIS children. I don't think I'm going to be babysitting again anytime soon.


Okay... now on to dance.


I was almost a full hour early to dance because my dad picked me up from babysitting way too early. This wasn't all that bad because it gave me some time to cool off. When class actually started I realized that I was exhausted. My brain could not keep up with the warm-up and I definitely made a fool out of myself. I did okay when we actually got to working on our dance... but most of today was just review. Although that should have been fairly easy, I was finding some difficulty getting into it. Our assistant teacher seemed to enjoy torturing us with the section of our dance that left my knees bruised and brittle last week.


So, here I am now; Sitting on my bed trying to muster up enough energy to do some gruesomely boring Pre-Calc homework while suffering from a headache, bruised knees, and a sore back from clumsily falling off my bed backwards.


I don't even want to wake up tomorrow.
