Runaway Student

Charlynn did a most unbelievable thing on Thursday. She was not sure where to go for Chinese Language class so she got panick and ran out of school. She walked and walked and ended back to School's main gate. After that she walked to Campsie Centre and retracted the car's route back from Campsie Centre. She left school about half past 9 and only reached home at 10.30am. The school is about he distance from Northpoint to mum's place Blk 349. She was really daring. What if she lost her way or met some strangers that did her harm.

I was hanging up the clothes when she came in. She hid her uniform and bag. After that she hid under the dining table. I heard a noise when I was preparing the milk for Channery. What a shock I have to see her at home. She came in via the front gate. With a little poking the gate can be easily open.

I immediately called Joe up. Joe was surprised and we managed to find out what happened to her. I told her to change back into her uniform and we go back together but she refused. She was vey stubborn. In the end, I told her she had a choice : To be caned and be sent back or go back with me without caning. In the end, she thought through and we drove to school. When we reached the school, I went to the office and the Deputy Principal received us. She was full of apologies and said that she was in fright sucha thing to happen as they do close the gate immediately after assembly. She went to get the teacher and teacher came in shock as well. Charlynn was told to go see them next time she ran into problem and teacher said she will assign buddies for her.

I promised to fetch her at 3pm and off I went off. I managed to go shopping for food and groceries and went back home but that means I have not much time for household chores. After cooking lunch, it seems like it's nearly 3pm again. I drove to school but could not find a parking lot., Went round the school for 2 rounds and finally parked at the shops. It's half an hour parking and after fetching the kids I came back quickly. Joe called to say Jen was unable to have lesson as planned and we would have to go the next day. I think Charlynn has learnt her lesson and she won't do it again. She was smart to be able to find her way home. Need to teach the sons how to do it.

That very night, the weather suddenly changed. There was heavy downpour and storm. I woke up and went to check on children. They always have the habit of kicking off covers. I did not sleep well so the next day I was in foul mood. I promised the kids to cook boiled eggs so that they can paint Easter eggs. In the end, Chantz shelled the egg that I was drawing and that drove me up the walls. He has a tendency to be impulsive and never think twice. He gotten a beating and scolding from me. After eating some breakfast, we drove to Jen's house for their Art lesson. Children had fun and we went shopping. I manged to find a shop selling bread and I bought $7 worth of bread. After lesson, children decided they wanted to eat Subway sandwiches for lunch and so I have to keep the bread for the Royal easter Show.
