Thursdays, maths tests and therapy.

Yesterday was a miserable day, weather wise. I didn't mind the weather too much. I was nursing a hangover from hell. I really am getting too old for this going out on a school night. I wouldn't mind only it wasn't even a late one? Myself and Mammy2 just had a few drinks in the local. The mate J joined us and we solved all the worlds problems over a few pints. Yes, that sort of night. The kid was in grand form, I checked her maths when we got home and she is really getting the hang of it. Holidays start tomorrow, she's all excited. In the meantime, she has her maths exam today. Fingers crossed she does okay with it, she's worked so hard on it, I hope she doesn't panic. The art assignment is still at the start, she's working on it in parts. I reckon she'll wait until the day before its due and the panic.

She is also in 2 minds about going over to Holland now. Because we have decided that we can't trust her and the boyf to go, she'd have to go by herself. She was very indignant. "I don't understand why I can't go with my friend" I noticed she dropped the boy part of it, probably thinking we'd go Ah sure, they're just friends, let them go over there. She's having a think about it, but we're hoping she'd go even for a couple of days.

We are meeting with her counseller tonight. We organised it last month when the stress levels were quite high. Her illnesses and whatnot.

I guess we are hoping she might be able to let us know what's going on with the kid. Or perhaps give us some indication. Because at this rate by the time the Leaving Cert is finished, we'll be rocking back and forth in an armchair talking about differeciation and Yeats. Yesterday evening was so dark and dismal, I had a meeting to discuss the re-design of the angrypotato website. The designs look fab! Lots of work involved though, but I'm really liking the new look. I hope the people who post on it like, you know how some people don't adjust too well to change.

Home to the couch and Mammy2. We watched The Devil Wears Prada. Tis an alright film. I can't get into my head how anyone can be that ambitious and ruthless? Can one be ambitious and not ruthless though is another question. My motto is work to live not the other way around. I see people in here who are real go-getters who will put in all hours and I just don't see the point. Life is too short! I'm happy enough with my job, I have no plans for management. Can you see me as a manager? The fun times. There'd be no work done, productivity would go down but everyone would enjoy themselves!

Its nearly the weekend and its a bank holiday one, which is fab! Three whole days and nothing planned. Well, except we have to go visit Mam's grave. We were supposed to go down for her birthday which was in September, I know. I've been bad. I just haven't felt up to facing it. So hopefully on Sunday we'll head down and put some nice flowers there. The sister is home next weekend, can't wait to see her. We haven't seen her since we were over there in July. She claims she's really looking forward to seeing us. Read between the lines. Its been ages since she had a Guinness. I know her ;)
