Yesterday a letter arrived in the post address to her. Normally these kind of letters put the heart crossways in us, but what's worse is the ones addressed to the guardians of the kid. That puts the heebie jeebies up us. Anyhew, the reason we were panicked was because I had rang her when she was on her way home from school to see how she got on. We had a meeting to go to so we wouldn't be home until later. She was yabbering away about how she nearly got suspended and stuff.
I paused at this, I love the way she just pops this into a conversation? There was some trouble in art class with people throwing the modelling clay around and the year-head, Miss The only joy I get out of life is making kids lives a misery tackled all of the girls who were doing art rather then trying to find out who was behind it. Whilst I know the kid is no saint, far from it, she said she wasn't involved and this is something she would own up to, in an attempt to look cool, god bless her.
So the letter, it was inviting her to an awards ceremony in DCU, she's been nominated for something or other. She wasn't too impressed but we were. Well, when all you ever get is letters giving out about her, its a nice change. So, its on the 15th of December in the Helix. She reckons she won't win, but we said we're dragging her along anyway. Cue rolling of eyes.
She's at NCAD today for their open day. She has mentioned a few times how college is crap and only posh people go there, so hopefully this might change her mind. Their art teacher is bringing them and the teacher said that once they had finished in the college, there was no point in coming back to the school and she's bringing them to the National Gallery for the rest of the day. Of course they're all delighted they're getting off school. The uniform was thrown aside this morning as she got her stuff together and headed off.
Tonight, I've got the Golden Spiders awards, they're internet awards for different websites. We, as in the content team in here, are expected to attend. It should be a good laugh, apart from it being Black Tie. I have to go shopping for a fancy top tonight, I have a few picked out. Yes , the awards
ceremony is tonight and I am shopping tonight. You read it correctly. How life on the edge am I! Thank god its nearly the weekend, I'm not sure whether its the weather or what, but these days I am exhausted. Anyone mentions age gets shot. At the moment, its as if someone is throwing buckets
of water out of the sky, its madness. Where is the snow? The frost, the crisp mornings? This current government has a lot to answer for.

How did the spiders go? I am amazed and green with envy as wll as red with shame at the thought of your Christmas shopping finished and decorations up! Here, the Little One has just re-written his Santa letter, and the Next One keeps asking for things like and iPod MP4 Which Plays Videos and Cooks his Dinner but not Vegetables...
hey there!
The spiders were great fun, got home at 3, this is the latest I have been out in over a year!
Christmas shopping, yes after last years trauma, this year is much more organised.
Two of her gifts are under the tree and the rest are ordered...She wasn't too demanding, well she chanced her arm and we said no.
Aw, you have one for santa! I miss that from the house.
