I was cool! Okay, it was only for about 5 minutes. She was texting a friend and talking about websites and apparently he looks after a forum or something, so she was all impressed with my credentials. Needless to say it didn't last.
Yes, she arrived back in the capital with a bang on Friday night and what lovely weather awaited us. The rain and wind was mad, the wind was actually shaking the car. She was one of the few people left in the station and considering her attire, I'd say the rest of the people left before she took out her Grip Reaping equipment. She's already taller then me , but with her 12 inch shoes, she towers. All in black, its a scary sight.
She was delighted to be home, demanding tea and flicking through the christmas pictures admiring herself! Well, she always comes out well in pictures. Without much sleep over the last week, she was a bit cantankerous so after a solid 2 hours in the bathroom I finally managed to get her to bed. 2 hours, of which only 30 minutes was when the actual shower was running?! What goes in there for the other 1 hr 30 minutes is beyond me as she comes looking much the same as she went in.
She slept until 2 the following day and then we were preparing ourselves for the whole heading up town and hanging lark.
When she said she wasn't really bothered and could be go and play pool instead, my jaw had to be picked up off the ground. I tried to appear nonchlaent as I picked myself up off the floor. We headed to UGC to play for about an hour and then home again. She mentioned getting a part-time job as she was getting tired of just 'hanging' on a Saturday. Again, nonchalence was the key as I got stuck to the front of the Luas with shock. As I flew past her, welded to the front windscreen, I told her that I'd take a look around for some jobs for her.
Saturday night was spent in listening to the wind and rain and watching Eddie's latest DVD, sexie. Special offer in HMV as a christmas purchase. The man is a comedy genisus.
Mammy 2 cooked stew and for the day that was in, it was perfect. Warmed the bones of ya! The kid had a full bowl. I was beginning to think that there was no food in Athlone at all!
Another 12 hours sleep that night and she was in grand form on the Sunday, she even tided her room. I didn't hit the floor at this, for tidying, read, re-arranging. It all looks the exact
same to me, but to her, its tidied.
Tried looking up jobs on the internet for herself, found one and I thought it was hilarious to picture her in this job. Childrens's entertainer and face painter in a leisureplex. I could just see all the little kids heading back to Mammy and Daddy complete with black eye backup and white faces and asking why they lied to them about Santy Claus. She'd last all of an hour. She of course wants to work in Asha, that terrible shop which charges a fortune for clothes with holes in them already.
We spent the evening trying to think of kids names , for the child that hasn't even been conceived yet. We're trying to gently introduce the idea that there might be another little person joining us at some stage. While we are delighted with her interest in names, the child is not being christened Dime Bag. She got over it pretty quickly.
This morning, at around 7.30 I was standing in her room with a hair straightner. Yes, you need to be wide awake in the morning around this one. She was in good spirits heading to school. Lets home it stays that way.
Now to job searching...for her and me!
