Graduation Day!

Today was the 12th Years Graduation, how unfair is it that they get graduation from High School and they get all these awards and scholarships one girl got 10,000 dollars in total the money coming from different businesses etc from the area pure madness! Chrissy played in the school band and her and two friends sang the national anthem before the ceremony! One of the girls who I met last year who worked at the Chocolate Mousse graduated today so it was cool to actually know someone there, she has invited me and Dayelle to come to her joint graduation party, Dayelle is working but I'm gonna go with Chrissy and her Mum as they know one of the other girls who the party is also for!
The Graduation was a bit drawn out and long with lots of speeches this one lady was saying about important things you need to learn and can take into the world with you one of these things was always wear comfortable shoes and all the ladies are going yeah yeah thats clever never thought of that one and then she continues.... as you never know when your going to have to run for your life.... woh!!! Didn't see that one coming people laughed but i was thinking ok lady what is your problem lol!!! Scary Lady!!!
The State Trooper was present making sure everything ran smoothly and he directed the cars out of the parking lot at the end of graduation so funny i had to take a picture of him in his little outfit lol!
The party was fun they had so much drink and food they even had a whole cooked pig which they decapitated when they started cutting it up to eat ewww it was so manky, but i did eat a piece of the meat I know I know gross but i did eat a bit from a table away from the pig so that doesn't make it that bad right? lol
I was chatting to some college guys who were at the party and they were talking to me for about ten minutes before asking where i was from i said near London and they were like oh yeah we thought you had a different accent they hadn't realised i was from England though doh! When they found out I was 21 they were like why aren't you drinking do you wanna beer,wine? We are going to the liquor store what do you want? but I was babysitting at 5.30 and they were like no don't babysit stay here needless to say I went and Babysat.

OK so this babysitting job was in a barn no joke it was a real barn ok a converted barn part of which is an antique store when you come in to the hallway there is this freaky looking man statue which twice nearly made me pee my pants when i came downstairs and saw him out of the corner of my eyes! So let me set the picture I was babysitting for Pearl who's 3 and Gill (who's 2 but can't talk yet and kinda only says meh or ehh can't quite put into words what kinda noise he makes but he was making duck and cat noises with me which was cute) once i got the kids to bed took a while and had to change the grossest nappy ever and i haven't changed one in like 5 years (perks of babysitting older kids) seriously it was like three men and a little lady first i just stared in disbelief at it and then the smell overwhelmed me oh my gosh i wanted a gas mask it was toxic i swear!! I used so many baby wipes and i soooo could have puked, it was an OCD's nightmare! For the rest of the night i kept thinking i had poop on me and was constantly checking my dress for any streaks or marks lol!!
Anyway pearl was like i don't want you to put me to bed I want my mummy so me being a genius went and got her PJ's and i was OH MY GOSH these are amazing but oh no they won't fit me but they will fit you, you should put them on, don't know how but it worked!! kids they fall for anything! When we were reading bedtime stories she put a book down and when she picked it back up this huge spider was squished underneath it eww!! Ok yeah so when they were both asleep it was really creepy coz I was surrounded by fields and even though i could see the main road from the window no one would have heard my screams seriously babysitting alone in a random barn that you've never been in before in the middle of nowhere in America probably isn't the cleverest of things but you know I survived but my brain was going into overdrive and i did freak myself out a few times as they have these stairs which are open underneath so anything could be hiding under there and i kept thinking when i walked up or down them something was going to grab my legs ha ha i watch too many scary movies lol then a firework went off and i was like oh my gosh was that a gunshot i was like please god i'm too young to die and if i do have to die young don't let it be scary movie style where the Babysitter gets shot in the head for no apparent reason but i think i was safe because i was fully clothed people in those movies are usually only partially clothed i think thats where they are going wrong!! lol Anyway after hearing more bangs i figured it was fireworks funny thing is when the mum came home she was like oh yeah i forgot to tell you about the fireworks from the surrounding camps i was thinking oh yeah thanks for the heads up lol!! So yeah she wants me to babysit again but i don't know if i can hack it, its hard keeping an eye on two kids that age when i was putting pearl in her PJ's Gill had picked up her stickers and i turned round and i was like oh crap i hope you haven't put any of them in your mouth i asked him and he stuck his tongue out bless him lol he hadn't! Then when i was cleaning her teeth in the bathroom he was playing in the living room which connects to the bathroom and the door was open and i was sorting out her spitting out her toothpaste which she didn't she just swallowed it and I was like oh wait remember to watch the little guy too so i looked up and luckily he wasn't playing with matches or wielding a knife (not that these objects were anywhere near the children i'm not that bad a babysitter) but you need like four eyes seriously i don't know how she copes! Anyway so yes this was the days entertainment!!
