Five Things #11

1. This post is late cos I've been a bit busy what with making volcano cakes and hawaiian birthday parties and trying not to be hit with a stick while holding the flowery pinata.

2. Exhausting weekend. Too many sweets, cookies and gallons of punch. Too much of demonstrating to 9 yr old girls the correct way to spray canned cream directly into your mouth. A nice plain piece of Melrose toast and a quiet spot to sit is my idea of heaven right now.

3. Have realised I have nice children. Kind to each other, kind to me, willing and helpful and protective of each other. Not that I didn't know this before, but those moments when it hits home again are always so welcome.

4. So many new people coming into my life – it's a weird feeling. I've always been a bit of a loner – shy, but still happy to be on my own most of the time. People are a little alien to me, and being in the eyes of late is even more alien-er. Er.

Er. Ja, you know what I mean. Not unpleasant, just… new.

5. That dude from the Dept Social Development postponed our meeting last week and is coming to see me tomorrow re. the support group. We're meeting at my work, which is not ideal. Funny looks and evil mutterings may ensue. However, the other option is taking time off to see him. Was off sick 3 days in November, off for a day for the Great Expectations show, and again off Monday last week cos Conor & Layla were sick. It adds up, the guilt piles on and I feel like everybody hates me. Sigh.

Anyway. Am off now to babysit delightful nephew for the night. Love that boy, he's delicious.

Wish me luck for tomorrow?
