Day 6:Jonathan Roba (Kaiba Estate)
I wound up spending the night with Mokuba last night, and I'm going to do it tonight too. We just got back from KaibaLand. That place rocks! Seto's at his office, and he probably won't be home for the remainder of the night.
The family, that is,mine,had a good time last night. Andy kept trying to slide down the Kaibas' grand staircase banister, but thankfully, Mr. Kaiba was faster,and deterred his attempts. Christien was a bit of a zombie at dinner. I'll bet he was in awe of the dishes. It doesn't phase Espa or me anymore. Little E,on the other hand, was keen on throwing his bottle half way across the dining room, because he didn't want grape juice. It was a little embarrassing, but the Kaibas took it all pretty well.
After dinner, us younger Robas headed into the backyard to play a little basketball, which wound up ending early on account of Little E getting in the way, and getting hit with the ball. Poor thing…he wouldn't let Mokuba near him after that. (Mokuba's the one who threw it, by the way.)
It was soon time for us to leave, but I remembered I still hadn't talked to Mokuba about the Brother's Day idea, so we both pleaded for me to stay over. The older brothers just looked at each other, then us,with mock exasperation, before agreeing, then laughing as we raced upstairs to his room before one or both could change their minds.
Mokuba reckons it's a great idea. I knew he'd be all for it. He's always trying to show Seto how he appreciates him. He wanted to take it a step farther though, and make it a community day for Brothers. I'm not sure about that yet, but we're going to talk about. We decided that Brother's Day was going to be the week after Father's Day, which we decided to skip this year.
Well, Mokuba's dragging me off to Kaiba Corp to see Seto for a while, so I'll see you guys soon. (PS:Chris, did you find anything out about Nikki? I've not hear from her since Tag Duel.)
Day 8:Christien Roba (Kitchen Table,Roba house)
tired sigh I was up most of the night with Nikki on the phone. She's hiding out somewhere. Appearently, there is something going on with her and her Duel Monsters coach. She won't tell me the whole story, but she called here last night for Jon. Since Jon wasn't here, and she didn't want to wake up the Kaibas by calling over there, she settled to talking to me. All she would say is that she was not going to be at league on Saturday. She wouldn't say why. She sounded really strange, for Nikki. I wonder what's got her so spooked. I saw Bakura at his bookstore last night. He seemed pretty happy. I don't buy that whole possessed by a thief story Jon tried to feed me the other day. Bakura's too kind for that. Maybe Bakura's a little tougher when it comes to dueling. I saw the look of absolute terror on Nikki's face when we lost two days ago, but I still didn't see the big deal. Ah well…
Aside from Nikki, Andrew's been sick again last night. He gets like this every so often. Last night, it was his stomach. Espa and I took turns, since Jon was gone, getting up with him. He saw Espa reading our entries from yesterday, and he demanded we give him a diary too, so we did. Granted, we'll be spell checking it. He's going to start it in a few days. Well, that's it for me.
(Jon:I did hear from her. See above, if you haven't already. She said she'd be updating her diary soon.)
Day 2:Espa Roba (Bedroom, Roba House)
I need a long vacation…I really do. I've gotten to a breaking point. Andy's sick again. I don't have the time to take off work nor the money, to take him to the doctor for this. I'm hoping he's only got a forty-eight hour virus, but it doesn't seem likely. His temperature has shot up three different times today. So, I just need to pray it stays down overnight. He's very irritable because he has to stay away from the baby, and the rest of us, as much as possible. If the baby caught this, I would HAVE to take off work and take HIM. Little Espa can make even the common cold seem like the flu. That's how bad his immune system is.
Anyway, I got Andrew's educational evaluation back today. It's not good. He is way below level in several things. They want to send him to a school for children with learning disabilities, and the doctor that evaluated him for mental retardation said he's got a mild case of mental retardation.
As if that's not enough, Social Services called again! I've apparently received a warning again. They're giving me a week to get my brothers new clothes, and better shoes. Plus, they had a surprise inspector to our house, and it's been labeled "unclean,and unfit" for living in. ugh! I don't have time for this! I don't want to lose my brothers, they're all I got! I better make this entry private. Christien'd surely flip and cause panic among the younger Robas if he read this!

Day 22:Mokuba Kaiba (Kaiba Corp. Seto's office)
It's about time I updated this thing. I've been on the go for the last two days. These Robas sure know how to have a decent summer, and it doesn't cost them a thing!
Last night's family dinner with Jon's brothers was pleasantly successful. I've not seen Seto have so much fun since he beat Yugi in a duel last month. The Robas had a wonderful time, and our cook for the night did great! We had pizza bagels. I know, we could've gotten those from a store, but Seto likes homemade food.
Jon's Brother's Day idea is fantastic! I wish I would've thought of that first, but I didn't. It doesn't matter. I want to make a community event of it, but Jon insists we need to keep it us and just us,. I need to think of something that I can do to keep Big Brother from going to work that day and not working at home. Maybe I can just beg him. No, that'll only annoy him. I should ask Jon later.
We're at my brother's office. Well, I am. Seto took Jon to his private laboratory, to show him a few of his projects. Jon loves science, and he just adores Seto's creativity. I've already seen them, so it doesn't phase me that they left me here. I needed to update this anyway.
Just read Christien's entry, and I feel horrible. Nikki needed Jon, and she refused to call my house. She really should've. I wouldn't have minded. Seto wasn't home, I'm sure, so it wouldn't have woken him up. Hopefully, she will update her diary again soon, b/c I want to know what's going on.
Well,I better go now. They'll be back any minute. Later!
