Day 11 The past couple of days child 3 has been going to sleep early and I've been so eager to drink wine and eat cheese that I haven't bothered to document the day, but they've been pretty stressful hence the reason for the wine and cheese! Things to do; Finish wrapping Clean the whole house Wash everything Watch child 2's Xmas play See child 3's teacher for progress After the school run I noticed that my neighbours bins weren't out, panic set in of all the different terrible things that had happened to them through the night and I didn't even close my car door to rush over the road and see if they were ok. Turns out she's been holding off putting her bin out because somebody has been using her bin for their rubbish. I'm not sure if I prefer one of the stories I had in my mind rather than that..... Things done today; Finished wrapping Met with child 3's teacher for progress report Watched child 2's nativity play Basic cleaning It wasn't until I was packing away all the wrapping tools that I realised I've forgotten all about my husband, AND our wedding anniversary is a few days after Christmas so I can stick my smug bollocks up my arse... Anyone know the 7yr gift??? I understand it's a tough job but someone has got to do something about the nativity story..... #yawn perhaps I'll try and put something together for next year? Then again, maybe not! I can't decide if I feel better for drinking and eating in the evenings or not, I'm still just as tired but without any fun! I haven't exercised for a week and I miss it but motivation is low and priorities are different. I suppose if I was trying to wear shorts and sleeveless tops my attitude would change! #fickle My friend has had both her grandmothers die within a week of each other.... It's so sad and I can't help thinking that i wish it was a different time of year for her. Although it's never a good time, her Christmas will never be the same again. I don't know what to say either, I kind of want to distract her a bit and cheer her up but I also want her to know I'm here if she needs to get deep. I'm due to upgrade my phone Christmas Eve but I thought surly tmobile would be keen to keep my business and strap me up for another couple of years... But no! I have to wait unless I want to pay to get out of the contract. Someone needs to sort that out! Fix up tmobile!!!! Can I make a suggestion to the Disney store..... Use plain packaging!! You're not helping keep the "Santa" alive by stamping that bloody mouse all over everything so the children know exactly what's being delivered. I've been on Facebook a lot, it's surprising how easily it can become such a distraction. The best thing to do is remove it from my phone every other day. MummyGallen
