edelweiss, goodnight !

What can I say ? It's been an experience, but I'm off.

I'm not sure if I've found true love but I've certainly found something and he makes my insides smile. I don't hedge my bets, I've always been an all or nothing kinda gal, so it's time to say tatty bye and wish you all the best and lots of luck finding whatever it is you're here to find.

Thank you to all you lovely fellas who took time to drop me a line, you were honourable and gentlemanly and I appreciate that. XX


So for the last time .....

Always

So today the car had it's MOT and failed. :( Something about the bushes and some welding, I'm not exactly Mrs Technical Details, all I iknow is it's going to cost me a fair bit to get fixed. Again! I'm beginning to think it might be a lot cheaper to take a taxi everywhere, I mean it's not like I take the car out much anyway cos I hate driving.

Any mechanics out there want a girlfriend ? lol

Due to infernal interwurb connection problems (think one of the spiders went on strike and refused to spin magic interwebs) I decided today that I'd be Mother Of The Year. With Number One Son flying his way to Spain for his first adult holiday the wee girlie has been feeling at a bit of a loose end so I stepped up to the mark.

First off I was up at 7am. Totally unheard of on a Sunday. Plenty of times I've gone to bed at 7am on a Sunday morn but I sure as hell don't recall ever getting up at that time. Anyway I did it this morning and had breakfast with my girl.

After brekkie the Girlie wanted to watch her trashy tv progs so I pottered about doing odd jobs (I have limits as to how far I'm prepared to go!) Then I had a brilliant idea ..... " How about we get the old sega mega drive down and play some old school games? " says I. " Yay! " says she. And so it was I had my butt kicked into the middle of next week on Streets of Rage. I demanded a rematch and whooped her butt back .... but that was Sonic and Tails special stage. Not quite the same me thinks and decide we ought to pack in playing games and get our casserole started. The Girlie peeled and chopped the carrots while I tried tipping a shoulder of lamb into the pot without touching it. (I'm squeamish about raw meat ). After we did our own thing for a couple of hours while waiting to eat. Boy I don't have make a fantastic casserole. It's an art you know. She made the dumplings and damn good they were too, and we had it served up in giant yorkshire puds like true piglets and watched the show jumping. Proper Sunday telly that.

While I cleared the dishes and mopped up the kitchen Madam went and cut back my pinks for me. Kitchen spotless again and I let her loose in it making angel delight and cup cakes. God what a mess but hell, she had fun. In fact we both had fun icing the cakes ... think I ate more icing than she did and we both had more than the cakes. Still that's what bakings all about isn't it?

So, I may not be a very good Tooth Fairy* but I still think I might be in with a chance for Mother Of The Year. :)

* story for another day.

Not today, this Friday, but I'm getting all giggly and excited now. Not quite sure why though because the last 20 odd have been completely forgettable. Anyway they say life begins at 40, yes I'll be 40, get over it, I have, and I'm determined to start life with a bang. Ooo errrr missus! Not that kind of bang you smutbags. Mind you ..... ...

lol nah I'm teasing.

Back to my up coming birthday. My family are useless at this kind of thing, hence 20 odd years of non events; my bestest friend in the whole wide world is running off on holiday for the weekend with her mother-in-law (her mother-in-law I ask you!) and a surprise party isn't really much of a surprise if you have to organise it yourself now is it? So which one of you handsome fellas is organising my surprise party then?

Are we having jelly and ice cream or I can I have a male stripper instead? (If so I'd like a little input into this as policemen, firemen and the usual suspects don't really do it for me) ( is it wrong if I mention dpm and gun oil at this point?) (not a must but .... well it is my birthday!)

So come on then lads, book now to avoid further disappointment!

22.22 hrs .... another 24 hours and I will be celebrating 18 years of motherhood. 18 years ago at this time I'd already been in labour an hour and thinking it couldn't possibly take much longer or get much worse. Yeah right!

So the eldest is finally 18 ... that's one down, one to go. It's actually quite scarey being the mother of an adult, I can remember watching my new baby sleep and working out how old I'd be when he was 18 and thinking "almost 40 ... Jesus that's Old!" ... and now I'm here and almost 40 and I don't feel any older than I did when I was 18.

Funny old world isn't it?
