first day

As I type this entry up, Mammy2 is boarding a plane to Montreal. She has a 3 hour stopover in Toronto, enough time to get a fridge magnet I feel. The kid started school this morning and I have to say it almost felt like a regular household this morning. Her shouting in from the kitchen with
Scuzz blaring on telly. She had her back packed up, as little makeup as she could manage to get away with and her lip ring out. She's only in until 12 so I shall call her later and see how she got on. Fingers crossed it'll go okay, she was meeting up with D when she got off the bus so the terrible
twins are back together again.

I have managed to pick up the cold that has been hanging around the apartment for the last week. Not surprising really considering the amount of sneezing that the kid and Mammy2 have been doing. Nothing like a cold to make you feel crap. The sister K and her boyf J are back from Kerry on Friday and myself and K are having a sisters's night. I hope I haven't turned into a blubbering mass at that stage only able to have conversations involving repression of my individuality and piercings.

I've jsut rang her. Her first sentence was that she thinks she should drop out of school, I managed to ignore her comment and ask her how her day was. I could hear D in the background shouting at the telly. They're cooking pizza and watching Sex in the city. Apart from being taken aside by one teacher in relation to how short her skirt was, it seemed to go okay. There's some crap thing about her not being allowed to participate in classes until she gets her books. Which is complete pants. With changing jobs and stuff, I'm still waiting for my wages to settle down and I was going to get her books next week. Looks like I'm going to have to get them this week now. I suppose I could send a note in with her.

She sounded in good form anyhow. Thank god, considering how shitty I feel, the last thing I want when I return home is a clingy teenager. So much for Vitamin C being a detterent for colds. More like a magnet. I fecking hate being sick.
