Riverdancing Sperm

A nice long weekend, filled with fun and frolics , easter eggs and ovaries. Another attempt and another waiting game. I found out our man isn't into the Eurovision. I realise it is a bit late in the arrangment to be re-thinking the situation but seriously, how can he not be interested in the Eurovision. His musical taste is akin to mine somewhat, but this was a big surprise. I fear when we did up the questionaire, Mammy 2 may have removed the whole section on musical taste and this was where I overlooked the situation.

Good Friday was spent baby making , cooking dinner and watching Brokeback Mountain. Yes, we were already going to hell for our lifestyle, might as well do it in style. Brokeback Mountain is an amazing film. Although it brings out different reactions in people. Mammy2 and the kid were crying by the end of it and our man was looking a few more baby attempts. Waste not, want not, and so on. My body was not impressed. The ovaries had hung a do not disturb sign on the fallopian whilst they
decided the best course of action for all this shenaigans. They were not happy to find out that our man's swimmers are persistent beggars and that they hang around for ages, pretending to be Jevohah's Witnesses and once the door is opened to them, they swoop in. To pass the time, they like to Riverdane. Apparently.

In the meantime, to keep themselves entertained, they have karoke competitions. I kid you not, our man's words not mine. The kid is dealing quite well with the situation, I suppose she has no other choice really. The poor thing was horrifed on Saturday morning. Our man had done his thing and left the bathroom and she flew past to use the bathroom next. Its a battle in an apartment with 3 women. Mammy2 knocked on the door, explaining that she had to get something from the bathroom. The door opened to reveal a disgusted teenager who uttered the words:
"Mother of god" as Mammy2 collected our 'stuff' and left. I'm sure years of therapy will help her overcome this.
Saturday, met the mate R for bravas and her sister and her sister's love sick friend. At one stage, I was sure frost had settled on the table, such was the atmosphere over lunch. The sister appeared uneasy, whilst the love sick friend, went from whispering behind his hand to gazing lovingly at her. Luckily I wasn't too hungry, else the lunch would have made a re-appearence. I felt sorry for the poor mate, R. She wanted to hang with her sister and instead she got the deleted scenes from Romeo and Juilet.

Got the kid her easter egg on the way home and myself and Mammy2 had a relaxing evening as the kid was in Kill hanging with the boyf's family. She really likes them, I think its because the Mam dotes on her. And cooks for her. And does other mammy things. Sunday we headed to watch the easter parade. There was no trouble thank god, and so many female guards. It was like all my christmases had come at once. Champage and strawberries followed , back at the apartment, it was S's 30th bday celebrations, she's making them last long enough! A good friend, A was up from Athlone and we hadn't seen her since christmas so it was good to catch up. We headed to Cactus Jack's for dinner, where S was unimpressed with the margheritas. Mammy2 was more then happy with S's leftovers. The food was great, the service mediocre.

The kid spent most of Monday throwing the boyf around her bedroom whilst we sat in the living room waiting for one of them to come flying through the wall. We left a cushion on the floor to lessen the injuries. They rented out movies and spent most of the day hanging and watching them. And acting like teenagers. Mammy2 had an ephiany on Thursday night, whilst talking about the kid she realised that she often calls the kid Lisle, after the one in the Sound of Music. As it turns out, the kid is 16 going on 17. Guess what's being song every second day now. The kid told the boyf, who knows the song off by heart. All his female relatives love the film and so he had to learn to play it. I can see the kid's 17th bday bash already, J on electric guitar with Mammy2 singing her little heart out and the kid applying for adoption.

She was unimpressed with us re-primanding her for not playing the playstation enough. We bought the playstation 2 for her months ago and the only thing she uses it for is watching dvds in her room. When we asked why she wasn't playing, she said she had a lot of school work to do, we told her to stop concentrating on school work and play computer games more. She said we were mad.

Going to see Westlife tonight. So excited. I hope Kian remembers me.
