Parties and nocturnal teenagers

One of those mornings, I am pretty sure that on my way out of bed I am going to meet her going to bed. The hours she keeps is mad. 5 this morning I think when I saw her lights go out. Do teenagers not need sleep like the rest of us? Are they immune to tiredness? I suppose she's enjoying the last few weeks of freedom before the madness of the leaving cert begins. Fun times ahead with her. All I keep hearing is how much grinds she needs. We have decided to help her with some of the
subjects but the likes of Chemistry is going to need other help. We have to purc hase school books and uniform. The summer flew.

Weekend was fun, parties in Dalkey, how posh is that place. And impossible to get a taxi out of there. The mate R had told me this, but I apparently neglected to listen to her. We walked to near Dun Laoghaire. It was one of the baby dykes bday and I had to go along. She's lovely, such a nice person. We got through some glasses of wine, as you do. Lots of chat about my website. She
introduced me to everyone as Shelly from angrpotato. Its my full title! It was nice to switch off from the absymal result of the match earlier in the day. The worst performence ever by Westmeath,
I'm sure of it.

Of course Mammy2 was chuffed with the result. Of course, her being a DUB and all that. I think the Dubs might go all the way and win it now. Yesterday was spent recovering, we were supposed to take a trip to Kilkenny but there was no moving from the couch. A 4 o'clock bedtime is not good. My liver is not talking to me. I think its still in some random bar from last week.

This week will hopefully not be as mental as last week. I've got business meetings and grocery shopping and a bday to celebrate. And lest I forget, Eddie Izzard on Friday! Soo looking forward to going to see him.

Mammy2 is out sick today, think the bout of depression from last week is still hanging around. I feel so useless in these situations. Much like when the kid's upset. I make tea. That's about all I'm good for. I need something to fix and in this situation there is nothing to fix. I just have to wait for it to work through. Her work place isn't helping much. They kept ringing this morning. They know that if she's out with a bout, she can't talk to anyone. Grrrrrr..... Feckin eejits. I think people don't understand that its an illness. Its not a case of getting on with it or chin up. Its an actual illness and can affect the person in many different ways.
