I have an addiction....

June 26, 2009

It was an amazingly LOOOONNNNNGGGG night last night.... Ole woke up at about 12:30 and just cried and I went in to see what was wrong about the same time Ulli came down, so she told me to go back to sleep(but also said thanks for getting up with him) so i went back to lay down and he cried for about another hour and THEN went to sleep....

I woke up early and was all ready to go for the day by 7(literally for the day--hair done, clothes on and bags packed!) and then I got finn and Ole ready and took Finn to kindergarten-that was not so fun! Ulli decided I should take him on my bike. so ok I have that child seat on the back, so I put him in it and we headed off--- it didn't work out so well because he weighs to much for me to be able to ride my bike right. I almost tipped over at the light, but lucky for me I didn't.... I didn't tip over until we got to kindergarten and I was getting off the bike to take him out of the seat- yeah seriously I fell down-- I was getting off and the bike fell over on me. I hurt my knees. :( but lucky Finn didn't get hurt at all(he landed on me) I do NOT think I'll be riding with him again any time soon!

So I got home, and took Ole to the playground while Stefan went to the baumarkt(like home depot)and then built a cover for the sandbox(so the neighbor cat can't use it as a litter box) and Ulli went to the doctor. I rode my bike--and it kinda hurt a little cuz of my knees, but it really wasn't that bad. Ole was so cute and the playground was really great!! we played for a pretty long time, and then I realized his diaper was wet, AND he'd drank all his drink--which wasn't so great cuz it was pretty warm outside. So we rode the bike home, changed his diaper, got him something to drink and then got back on the bike. I think I have an addiction to riding my bike--it's kinda hard sometimes because my legs really aren't use to it, but I love it!!

We finally went home and played for a little but until Ulli got back and made lunch.--can I just say I'm really sick of Spinatch because the frozen kind they have is really not good at ALL and it kinda turns out like soup when you go to eat it! yucky! I fed Ole while Ulli went to get Finn from kindergarten, because Ole was heading to his grandma's in Staufen so we could go to Heilbronn after lunch. Stefan took Ole to Staufen, and then we ate when he got back.--ole had to go before he took his nap because he was napping there.
We finished eating, and then finished packing(they did--i was done!) and I did the dishes.... then we hit the pavement!!

NECKARSULM NECKARSULM! I REALLY LOVE NECKARSULM!!!

I am so excited to get to spend the whole weekend with HEIKE!!!!!!! We finally got to her house, and I feel so at home here! that sounds so terrible, I should feel at home at my "home" but I don't really.... not yet at least. The first thing I did at her house, besides giving her a hug of course, was eat. I love her mom! haha! and her mom's cooking! :) After food, Heike and I decided we wanted Ice Cream-but the stuff they had in their freezer was pretty old and not so good anymore so we walked to the store and bought some new ice cream(after standing there for like 15 minutes trying to decide what to get because I didn't want to decide and she didn't either--so we each chose one and bought two!) and then we went home and ate the ice cream. :) yummy!!

I actually took the time to do my makeup(first time in quite a while because I never have time) and then we went and met Lonne at the bus stop--my bad we missed the bus! I took just like 2 minutes too long.... sad! SORRY LONNE! haha... so we waited at the bus stop forever and I told Lonne a great romance story(or not so great....) and then the bus came. We finally made it to Heilbronn and went shopping! :) We bought Silke's birthday presents(wine, a super great card game, and a toy clarinet) As we walked through Heilbronn we had these kids walking behind us ask if we could speak english(cuz we were speaking english.... lol) and me being who I am looked at them and said "nein...."(for those of you who don't know, nein means no in german) lol and they just kept following us asking "you from england?" and all kinds of stuff.
HALT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> go back in time about 2 weeks ago>>>>>> I tough Heike and her friends "don't make me snap my fingers in the z-formation"
>>>>>>>>>>....ok back to the story....>>>>>>>
So Heike and Lonne were sitting there the whole time "cami do the z-formation thing!!!" so finally I did it, but it really wasn't that great because by the time I did it it really wasn't worth it anymore. it was pretty funny though. they quit following us!!

We headed to Silke's party, and ended up getting off at the wrong station(we got of at like east or west or whatever and we needed the opposite station) so we hopped the s-bahn back in the opposite direction and FINALLY found the party! It was TOTALLY AWKWARD!!! Kids smoking(and a water pipe too) and drinking. haha--I also decided not only am I addicted to Neckarsulm, and bike riding, but I'm now addicted to Coka-Cola. I drank so much!!! like maybe 5 liters or so.... because it was awkward and everyone was drinking or talking or something so I'd just sip my coke, and then it would be gone so i'd get more! by the end of the night I was sooo hyper!! :) it was great!!!
Heike knew I was bored, so finally we asked silke to open her presents, and then we asked if we could play her game! :) it's a really fun game I love it!! we need it in the USA! haha.

We finally left the party(after some great adventures of peeing in the out-house in the dark, talking to Heiko(not heike--this is some random guy at the party) in english cuz he was totally drunk, and some other fun adventures. and we tried to find the church(it wasn't actually in heilbronn it was outside of it and heike wasn't sure where the church was but that's where mom was picking us up) sow e finally find the chruch and met mom and she brought us home!!
It was a long night, and kinda awkward, but in the ended it ended up being TONS of fun!!!
