The Underground

She has 'band practice' next Sunday and wants money for it. I asked her where this practice was taking place. Her response. The underground. I had images of her up to her knee in the sewers belting out a Slayer song with the teenage mutant hero turtles. Needless to say she was unimpressed with my response. An arched eyebrow and narrowed eyes were thrown my direction.
"Its a place in Temple bar" Interesting name I responded. The usual banter of a school morning.
She had to come home early on Saturday evening to put on more layers. Finally the cold is affecting her, she had to borrom my jumper, lucky I had it in black else it would have clashed with her dark ensemble!

I constantly look at teenager, as they stand around looking cool with not a jacket in sight? Sometimes they're standing there in next to nothing with a scarf casually thrown around them, like its going to protect their whole body from the cold.

So we're into another baby attempt already, well into the home straight so to speak as I ask my ovaries once again to be honest with me as to when I can expect a visit from the egg. They've been very unresponsive so far but I feel its in my best interests to not get mad at them, else it may
affect my zen or something. Perhaps I should take up yoga? Might relax me more.

I can't really see me sitting still for more then 5 minutes, though. I think the idea of trying to do that might stress me out more!

She got an A in her english essay. The teacher described the essay as provocative and inciteful. I had to go look up what those words meant. Needless to say she was chuffed. The essay was on the something to do with Smoking and hollywood, I can't the full title. It was impressive, I remember that much. She has another essay for Wedensday and she's already starting 'researching' for it. God bless Google!

Miss RTE is around tonight for the kids's interview, obviously with us around as well. It will be interesting to see how she deals with being serious, we're very rarely serious. Which will probably make us giggle more!
