Yay for Holidays

I have 2 days off on Thursday and Friday. I can't wait. Lie-ins and perhaps time on the couch who knows. Although the kid has Friday off. I'm beginning to think someone up there doesn't like me. Seriously, I must make plans for Friday. I am taking her shopping for clothes on Saturday.
* blesses self *
Should be a fun time. Her idea of clothes and my idea of clothes are slightly different. Take your average t-shirt. It has some amount of material in it, right. She picks it up, I breathe a sigh of relief, after I've stopped glarring at the securtiy guard for checking her out, and we take it to the checkout. 2 days later, it looks nothing like it did on the hanger in that shop. I seem to remember it having slightly more material. What started out as the t-shirt ended up as a mere scrap of material covering her body. Somewhat.

Currently we are the best Mammies ever. We let her go to Kill. Bear with me whilst I explain our logic. We had banned her from going until such a time as we felt we could trust her to go down and get the last bus back. Sunday, we were feeling lazy. She asked about going. We thought, place to ourselves so do nothing and chill out. Make it seem like we've given it some thought and that we're doing her a favour and voila, one very happy teenager and 2 very happy mammies. She was under orders to be back in the apartment no later then 10, else cue Parental Frown, she'd be banned
from going again. Lots of hugs, lots of thank yous and only one "You're not going there dressed like that" thought in my head later, she was out the door and on her way.

I played on the PC, yes I did say play. Accessibility and me are becoming pals. Sortof. Okay, I am coming to grips with it and it is a challenge and sometimes I don't even feel up to it. But I shall perserve. I like challenges. Speaking of challenges, I'm going to wrestle some more with Maths tonight. After I try and fix the sister-in-law's mates laptop. It keeps booting up in safe mode. It doesn't sound well, I said I didn't know if I could help but we could try a re-install of the OS and
see if that works. The things I offer to help out with. I don't know why I am either because this is the same friend that has been very nasty to the sister-in-law for the last month or more. They've made up now, but hey, I hold grudges.

Mammy2 is still gyming it and attending therapy, she's doing great these days. She even went to the gym on Saturday. At this rate I'm going to have to start training just to keep up with her. I will get back into it soon enough, as soon as my extra projects finish. And then I have to catch up with mates I haven't seen in a while. I've been getting grief. I mean, one of my mates, I haven't
seen since her 30th last year. I was best mates with her in college. I must ring her. I just don't have the energy at the moment. Once I have my few days off, I shall be sorted though. Sleep and then back into training and volia, back to myself.

Its 80 something days to christmas. The reason I am starting to count down is cause this morning was a frosty one and its starting to feel christmassy. I love christmas :)

Did I speak too soon about her? Mammy2 just got a phonecall from the school. She's sick again apparently. There's definetly a pattern developing here. Mammy2 has to go to work so the vice said she'd talk to her. Another family meeting tonight. And people wonder why I'm stressed?
