*sighs in relief*

L-M-A-O

wow, annie, your last comment made me laugh so hard.... dont be so hard on chris! he didnt do anything wrong!!!!

its makes me laugh that he got you guys all panicking, b/c its not really all that big of a deal.

so, for those who are in the dark, let me enlighten you

so, sunday my family decides to go up to flagstaff to visit the sister up at NAU cuz its all snowy up there, and yeah it seemed like fun. they were planning to go up there, rent a hotel, and stay up there till monday morning. i couldnt go, i needed jen rosa to tutor me in math, which she did. which means, HOUSE TO MYSELF! i was soo excited, i never get to be in an empty house. well after jens tutoring, chris texted me saying he had a bad day. so i tell him to go get dinner with me. he had already eaten, but i hadnt so we went through jack, then i took him to his house. and well, he just didnt get outta the car. we musta talked in that car for several hours. either way, around 11 my mom calls me. here is where the...uh...downward spiral starts.

so she calls the cell, converstation goes like this

mom-"hey ashes, whatcha doing?"
me-"uh..just sleeping, whats up?"
mom-"oh, we decided to come home afterall, and we just wanted to let you know so you wouldnt get freaked out by us coming through the door"
me-*silently thinks to herself... ah f#ck*
me-"okay, well give me a sec to get home im at emilys. where are you guys at?"
mom-"actaully were already in anthem, we'll be at the house in a few"
me-*silently thinks to her self AH F*CK!!!!!!!*
me--"okay, see ya"

okay, so i begin to speed to my house, had it worked, it woulda been fortunate that chris lives near me. however, it didnt work so the closeness of his house was more or less irrelevant. so im speeding to my house, and the whole while im thinking of ferris buelers mad dash home. well, i pull into my street as my parents pull into the drive way, **thinks to herself "AH F$(^&#@ SH(!!!"**

well i can see emily has JUST got home down the street, talk about bad timing? so i call her preparing to tell her that if anyone asks we were at her house on hailey dr., the one not on my street. well, i cant get a hold of her. i do some quick figuring and realize there is no way emily could have made it home first, or that either of us got up and to my house beofre my parents could, if we left form the hailey house.

so its safe to say that i realize im more or less screwed at this point. i put the car in park. mom gets in

mom-"where were you?"
me-"uh...with chris..."

sometime around two in the mornign, the converstation ends. more or less, my parents are about as NICE AS ANY PARENTS EVER. im not joking, theyre so cool, i love them to death. i felt absolutely miserable, im a fairly good kid, and i cant remember ever telling my mom such a point blank lie. but theyre really cool about it. they even let me stay home cuz i got so little sleep last night. i guess im gonna be grounded, only ive never been grounded before, and they havent actaully told me, "ashley, your grounded for [insert period of time]." so i just plan not to go anywhere for a little while and guess when im done being punished. but seriously, its kinda like it didnt happen. theyre being so freaking nice about it. this shoulda turned out a lot wrose for me... but it didnt, im about as freaked out as anyone

okay, moral of the story... i shoulda realized, my parents being cops, that there was no way i was gonna pull this off...

oh, and if they are delays, its prolly cuz im gonna be grounded from the computer, but i dont really know.

qotd-"stop beating yourself up about this and just dont do it again"
