The kid's final exam is tomorrow. It still hasn't sunk in yet. I'm sure it will when she sets fire to her uniform tomorrow! I've been in a strange mood for the last day or so. I blame the stress of last week. I was a right grouch yesterday and poor Mammy2 and the mate J had to bear the brunt of it. Not sure what was up with me. I should have given myself a slap or 2 and I reckon that would have knocked the crap out of me. Speaking of knocking crap, I am heading training tonight so hopefully that will work off any frustrations that I have :) The poor mate J is accompanying me.
After last weeks bout with the instructor and a random punter, we return to the safety of knowing the partner. I'm feeling ready tired still and out of sorts. I reckon more sleep, less work and lots of potatoes and I will be back to Super Shelly. The pride parade is next Saturday. I have to say I am a lot more laid back then last year. I was climbing walls last year with worry about everything and drummers and silly things that I had no control over..
We are pretty much all set for the parade. Drummers, check. Banner being ordered. No new t-shirts though. Financial commitments for the kid's bday.
Thank god she has decided she's not going to head onto some random pub after she has the party with us, she's staying with us. She had invited a lot of people off the various websites she frequents to some pub, Bruxelles but she's decided not to bother now. I was worried it would be another party like her halloween one which she had when she was 10 or something. She invited all her classmates. Put up ballons and everything and had the party food all laid out. No-one showed up apart from her best mate. She was heartbroken as were myself and Mama Titch. I had visions of this happening again so its a relief that she's sticking with us. It will be better for her and everyone will make a fuss of her. I'm taking it one step at a time, this week she finishes the Leaving Cert, next week she's 18. Her actual bday is on the Tuesday but she's heading to Slayer on that day. She has plans to throw underwear at them. Teenagers. Herself and the mate K are travelling down by bus and then staying over in a hostel. It was a present from the sister in Holland.
Not sure what people are going to get her, I've warned her not to expect presents from everyone. We're bringing her to get her tattoo tomorrow. Yes, we caved! She's been talking about it for so long, we're going to get her a small one. If she likes it, she can save up and get that dragon all over her back. I reckon if she saves over 800 euros she must really want it :)
Having a CBA day today..One minute I'm in great form, the next I'm close to tears. Damn mood swings..
