Ryann and Erikk were swinging on the playground swings when I came out of the house. I went up to Ryann and gave him his PSP as a message of ‘thanks for helping out’. He shrieked and squealed in delight and gave me a mini hug that you would get from an ecstatic 7 year-old. I really needed that. Ryann always seems to know what I want because I always seem to know what he wants too. I grabbed Erikk from the swinging chair and held him in a piggyback and told Ryann to follow me. We were now off to go find a new home or for today just somewhere to sleep. But before we did that I think we should stop at a café and have something to eat because Erikk was eating my hair, and I didn’t bring my shampoo and conditioner. I was so glad that we had A McDonald’s store in this town and with its own little McCafe. Checking my wallet I found a total of $250, good thing I saved my birthday and New Year’s money. This much could keep us going for atleast three weeks! And then we’d be complete beggars after that. I bought Ryann and Erikk a happy meal from McDonald’s and a strong White Latte and two HUGE blueberry muffins. Now this was probably the most amazing thing I had ever tasted. Only probably because I hadn’t eaten for like…. 10 hours! I felt really sorry for Erikk coz he couldn’t eat his happy meal, I’m so stupid I forgot he couldn’t eat the burger, oh well he could eat the chips and I would have the burger for him unless if Ryann wanted it. After our very VERY satisfying meal we were back on our adventurous track again. First stop: I thought maybe we could go to Annabelle's house, she’s always asking me to stay over and have a sleepover, I wonder what she would say if I just showed up and told her I was staying with my little brothers. It didn’t work; instead she told me to… f@#$ off. Harsh! What is up with everyone today!? It was getting really sunny and I swear I was burning; turning a corner I smelt something really gross!! I was too afraid to think of what it was but I checked anyways. Erikk had a bit of a problem down in his diapers, and I had to solve it. I laid him down on his little blanky on a patch of grass and told Ryann to hold his nose as he had offered to help. My monsters were incredibly amazing monsters! I got rid of the old nappy by chucking it in the bin followed by atleast 2 or more baby wipes. Yeuck! I think I know why ex-mum would always look so stressed and grossed out.
