Hi ho, hi ho, tis off to work we go

I'm starting to tire of my workload. Yes, close your mouth. Its getting a bit much over the last few days and I think I might have taken too much on. To top it off I think I might need to call another family meeting. Mammy2 and the kid are at loggerheads again. Basically, the kid completly forgot about forms she needed to fill in for her portfoilio and as a result Mammy2 had to fill them in on her behalf as she was staying over at the mates K. The portfolio has to be dropped into Dun Laoghaire between 9 and 9.30 and picked up between 4 and 4.30. The kid just takes it for granted that Mammy2 will do everything. So before there is an explosion and Mammy2 gets sent to prison for assault, I think I should sit them both down and see if we can come to some sort of agreement whereby the kid starts taking some responsilibity for her actions.

I got home yesterday, late from work and the kid was in bed and Mammy2 was at therapy. I had planned to go training but by the time I got home, I was in no mood. I had a headache and a ton of stuff to get through. I worked until 8.30 and then Mammy2 ran me a bath , which was fab. If a tad hot. Hence I pass out from the heat. Thankfully not in the bath. In the bedroom. I was feeling like shit. Perhaps I didn't pass out, but fell into a deep sleep. Who knows. I had planned to spend the evening with the family. Instead I'm curled up in bed. I'm a fabulous partner and parent don't you know ;)

Today I'm doing a bit better, but I'm still feeling quite weak. Perhaps I need more greens in my diet. Basically the kid spent the evening in bed, then got up and headed with the mate K to her house. I mean, I do not remember sleeping that much when I was a teenager? Seriously, she's in bed more then she's in school. Which isn't really that difficult. Her half finished art project is sitting on the floor of the living room, I sense its going to become an issue.

The 'best mate' C rang this morning. Apparently he's been lying low, with stuff going on. Family and all that. Bit of small talk with him. I don't know what to say to him. How do you explain to a bloke that you miss spending time with him and that you're a bit strange with the whole friendship thing as you'd like to see him more then once every 6 months. I'm convinced its because I'm a girl. Also I'm convinced his gf is involved. At this stage, I'm given up. I am not going to spend my time being a nagging gf and asking him to see him. I don't do friendship lite for want of a better work. I miss him a lot. Sometimes straight blokes are more work then women.

I still have had no time to make plans for Monday. Its our 8 year anniversary. 8 years, I think its getting serious at this stage. I wanted to organise something but unfortunately when it comes to romance I am a disaster. Seriously, I should go to www.romanticideas101.com because I can never think of something romantic to do. Mammy2 has the day off as well, so I think we might head out to Howth for the day and have a meal out there. I know Mammy2 doesn't expect anything but I'd like to make the effort! I should do some research and perhaps just put some thought into the day. I'm sure I'll think of something that will charm her.
