Alex woke me up at eight o’clock. Today is the big day, it’s Alex’s party!
We had breakfast then I had a shower and got dressed. Alex also had his shower but I didn’t get him into his party clothes until much later.
Unfortunately Alex started his schedule a few days ago and with being on Prednisone, it sure doesn’t help. Alex was hard to handle today and I hate to get after him when it’s his party today. Alex really got out of control when I was in the bathroom. I walked into our bedroom to see Alex biting Charlie’s shirt. He looked like he was trying to rip his sleeve off! The two of them were screaming and yelling at each other. I don’t know what they were arguing about but it sure was something. I told Alex to come and sit down. I had to yell at him before he would sit down. Charlie left the room while I talked to Alex. Alex finally calmed down so I could tell him to get into his party clothes. This all happened half an hour before we were to leave for McDonald’s.
Morgan had phoned earlier and asked us if we could take Patrick with us. Charlie told her that would be okay. Patrick arrived when we were getting Alex dressed. Alex still wasn’t over being so upset.
Earlier we had decorated the house with balloons and set up the dining room table with dinosaur cups, plates, napkins and a tablecloth.
By the time we got to McDonald’s I was exhausted. It was hard for me to sit on the kids chairs but it’s a party for Alex so that’s okay.
Paul and Laura never turned up, we thought maybe because it was daylight savings time that was why they didn’t show up.
We had all the kids back to the house for cake and ice cream. They were quite a handle full running around and getting louder and louder. I had to tell them to be quiet a few times. I’m sure everyone thought I was a crouch but I really wasn’t up to it.
The kids that were there were Patrick, Kurt Andrews, Brent, Lanie and Paxton. Carrie and Robert still didn’t turn up. Charlie phoned the police and the hospital but didn’t find anything out. I said don’t worry about it they’re probably lost.
Marla said nobody could be lost for that long it must be three or four hours now. I said knowing Paul, he’s lost. Charlie had talked to Laura earlier, she said she had stayed home with Neil and Paul had left around eleven o’clock.
Most of the kids left around four o’clock. I had bought the Turtle movie for Alex, which they watched.
Mom invited us to come down for dinner. I said we would be down around five o’clock.
Carrie phoned at five o’clock. She talked to Charlie, she told him they had gotten lost! Charlie was really mad, he asked Carrie to call her father to the phone. Charlie asked Paul what happened, not in so many words! Paul said he ended up in Maple Ridge and that he had gone along Brunette. Charlie said you can’t end up in Maple Ridge if you go along Brunette. You were either in Coquitlam or New Westminster. Charlie was really mad.
We went to Mom and Dad’s. Alex brought some of his presents with him. The Lego racing set we gave him and Beserko that Paxton gave him. Alex also got Ghostbusters popper from Patrick, dinosaur stencils from Kurt, coloring books from Monique, a golf set from Brent and micromasters from Lanie. We also gave him Turtle pants and Turtle P.J.‘s but we will give it to Alex on his birthday. Mom and Dad gave Alex a jacket, t-shirt and shorts.
We stayed until ten o’clock. Alex had a good time building the racing set.
Alex went to bed shortly after we got home. He told me how much he enjoyed his party. I went to bed as well.
