Mitsuki: The next champion diver!!

Ever had one of those days when you get home from work or school and the first thing on your mind is, "A hot, bubbly bath will do wonders one my aching feet and sooth my stress"?

yeah well, I desperatly needed that the other day.
I ran a hot bath, (with bubbles!!) and then asked if anyone else wanted one.
of course mum did, and cause she had an awful day of working, she was the one that got to take the first bath. *sigh*

I hung around my room until I heard the loud clicking of the bathroom door unlocking.
Through a cloud of warm, perfumed steam, mum emerged from the bathroom.
Before I could even think about getting up and heading down the hall to the bathroom, Mum yells out down the stairs.
"Would anyone else like a lovely, hot bath?"
Of course that was an offer my eldest sister just couldn't refuse. she raced up the stairs and pelted into the bathroom. I heard the sound of the door locking. At first I was tempted to get the 5cent coin that sits on the framing of the bathroom door so I could unlock the door and tell her to get out, but I'm much too polite for that.

She emerges from the bathroom. I don't even think this time. I grab my PJ's and dive into the bath...forgetting to lock the door.

Aaaaah...nothing like a hot bubbly bath to calm even the most frazzled nerves.
I head downstairs to put my cloths in the laundry, when Mum asks did I drain the bath.
"no Mum, I didn't." I say.
I walk away. I know that she was going to tell me how if I had the last bath then I have to let the water go. I just saved her breath.
I scruff Mitsy for a quick cuddle, then place her on my shoulder and head upstairs.

I roll up my PJ sleave and put my had in the warm water.
meanwhile Mitsy's climbing down my arm at a 90degree angle.
She does this anytime i lean over and put my arm down cause she thinks I'm getting a treat for her...well this time she highly regretted it. =P
she reaches the end of my rolled-up sleave, realising she has nothing to cling onto she trys to turn around and climb back up my arm.
as she turned around she slipped and did a perfect swan-dive into the warm water.
Mit's was in shock!
she has never swam before but did a top knotch job of it i might add...
Mit's was looking for a surface to climb up out of the water, but the walls of the bath were too slippery and had no gripping texture. So Mit's struggled like a rat in a bath. *pun intended*
I put my arm into the water and of course Mitsy soon was clawing her way up my bare arm. *OUCH!!* and heading for my shoulder.
But of course I wasn't going to allow a soaking rat upon my shoulder, so I plonked her on the side of the bath so I could scruff a towel to dry her off with.

I turn round to grab the towel off the rack.
*SPLOOSH!*
Mitsy has fallen in again.
Do'h!
I grab her out again and quickly dry her off.
Needless to say she looked like a...well, a drowned rat. *pun not intended*

10minutes of constant rubbing with a towel, drying off with a hair dryer set on low and countless treats and cuddles, Mit's was back to looking like herself again. ^_^ And smelling of lavender scented bath salts...

well thats the origin of the diving rat.

Smell ya later. Allie and Mitsy.

Mum's new mob.

well we came back from camping at Douglas River. I don't think I actually told you that I went camping...oh well you know now.

It was pretty fun, swimming in the water hole, (murky green stuff floats in it and their is an eel living in there, recently, meaning the first time ever, a snake was spotted by my cousin in the water, havoc broke out, as you can guess) the mouth, (the run off from the water hole that flows down into the beach. wasn't flowing into the beach this year, so the smell was eye-watering. also there were apparantly miniture jellyfish in the mouth, my cousin (who discovered the snake) was the only one who got bitten a number of times, not saying their aren't any jellyfish but i think its a reaction to the salty water, she has extremly sencitive skin, so it makes more sense than the jellyfish theory. how can jellyfish get into the mouth when it hasn't had any beach contact since two months before.) and boogey-boarding in the waves. (the only fault i can think about is that i accidentally left my boogey-board in the back of the car and my sister drove it home so i didn't have a boogey-board.)

anyway, your probably wondering how any of this stuff has to do with my mum getting a new mobile.
My 16year old sister just got her L's and has been keen to do some practise driving. so the dirt roads and emty paddoks at Douglas is perfect for her. my other sister (who is fully lisenced) volenteered to take her for a practice drive. as there is no powered sites you have to charge your phone in the car. mum's phone was flat so she told My sisters to take it in the car and charge it.
a few minutes passed and they reached the gate entering the paddock, (contains sheep so thats why theres a gate) and the fully lisenced sister got out to open the gate. she seemed to have forgotten that mums charging phone was in her lap.

she got out of the car.

so did mum's phone.

it landed face down on the rocky-road and to top it off underneith the car wheel.

when she drove through she ran it over.

the screen smashed. they took it back to mum, looking sheepish. she looked at it then threw it across the campsite (this is an expenxive phone by the way) thinking it was completely busted. my eldest sister retrieved it then explained to mum it still worked.

well 2days after that mum's phone totally konked out.

big time.

so when we got home dad bought her another one.
'A simple, easy to use phone with extra loud ringtones and large buttons.'
thats what it said on the box.

yeah, it's got big buttons. and loud ringtones.

but for mum, not so easy to use.

when you try to explain how it works her ears go all red...and she looks like she will either throw the damned phone out the window or rip it out of your hands and shove it down your throat.

and thats mum's new mob.

see ya love Alleroo and the rat. xoxoxoxoxox
