I did the pregnancy test this morning and it was negative. I don't know why I was surprised,
I guess some part of me thought that we might have got it right the first time. Ah, well, back to the drawing board or the syringe!

Art is over. Yesterday, she had her final exam, life drawing and drawing a still life and its all finished. She was over the moon yesterday. I got a phone call when she got home and all I could hear on the other end of the phone was screaming!
I held the phone away from my ear for a while until she calmed down.
Yesterday was a monumentous occasion all around, as I handed in my notice here. Five years working for these people. Its been great but time to move on. I'm nervous and excited about the change.
Anyhew, the kid was online the other evening to the boyf and the conversation went something like this.
* tap, tap, tap, tap * - her on the keyboard - pause ,dramatic flick of the hair over the shoulder and she glanced at us;
* tap, tap, tap, tap *
"R said it will be too difficult to get into Holland when I'm older so I should start making plans now to head there"
"If its so difficult to get over there when you're older , how did K manage?"
* tap, tap, tap, tap *
"R said it would be best if I finish my education off over there"
"We have gone over this a 1000 times, if you can find a school that teaches in English and you have a place to stay, then
yes"
* tap, tap, tap, tap *
"Will you send money over to me every month"
"No, why would we?"
Eyes narrow and my eyebrows caught fire. I pretended not to notice.
* tap, tap, tap, tap, tap *
God only knows what she was saying to him.

So, from moving to Holland and finishing her schooling to yesterday. I picked her up from therapy, she was all giddy because of finishing her art, and she announced that she was thinking of taking a year out after the Junior Cert. A year out no less, most people do this in college.
I nodded. Her plan was as follows:
Take a year out, paint, play the guitar, become a bohemian and then head back get her Leaving and rent an apartment with her best mate D.
I dared asked about Holland, and she paused:
This may all change again.

"Oh, yeah, well , sure R(the boyf) can come over here for a year"
This may all change again.
