~RANT ON~

I took DS3 to his entrance exam at the high school where DS2 goes.. and told him quite explicitly it would me me or OH collecting him at 3:45... I got there at 3:46 and the idiots at the school had let DS3 go off with DS2.. now, DS2 can only just manage to look after himself at the best of times.. they had no phone, no money though DS2 had a return bus ticket so god alone knows how they though DS3 would get on the bus...

No sign of him at school
No sign of him in either of the closest Game shops.. by which time I was not feeling amused!

OH drove round to the bus station so I could see if they were there... I ran.. yes me, RAN the 52 platforms to the front of the bus station.. checking of course the queues they would have been in... no sign...

I rang DS1 who was at my house .. no boys!!!

I was actually distressed by this point and being watched closely by the security dudes in the station who probably thoguht I was some drunk crazy person!!

I just rang OH, almost in tears (I am brave!! lol) saying there was no sign of them when they ran from behind a group of people.. well, there were about 400 people in the bus station...

Earlier I had been saying to someone at school, when I speak everyone stops to listen...

I BAWLED!! like a screaming loony banshee freak 'WHERE THE HELL HAVE You BEEN!!!'

And the whole bus station fell to silence... you could have heard a mouse squeak...

To DS2 I yelled 'You!!! You are SO DEAD... So dead your soul won't go to heaven it will be obliterated.... Get on that bus NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!' (we had the 2 small pinks inthe car so there wasn't room for him)

I grabbed DS3's arm and DRAGGED him back through the bus station yelling at him about being stupid and gormlessly following whatever DS2 says and not doing as he was told and how would he get the bus with no money after DS2 got on and left him and how would he get home when he didn't know the way and !!!!!! was he thinking of not staying at school waiting for me when he had explicit instruction to stay there.. RRAR RAR RRAR RARR!!!!!!!

I now have a RAGING headache, my sore throat is worse, I have a pain in my chest and the girls are being little gits....

The boys have been made to tidy their room and I fed their chocolate from their advent calendars to Jacob seeing as they were so stupid...

~RANT OFF~

I wrapped a box of presents...
and watered a plant
And yelled at DD2 to get a shower and put her dirty stuff in the wash....

I am NEVER EVER EVER having any children!!!!!!!!!

I could be buring the midnight oil - Cake has been in for 3 hours and could be 5 more looking at it!

Watching Kirstie's Christmas thing - not sure if I want to punch her yet or not!
