Back in the land of the living

I’ve been ill! *sulks* And none of you even noticed! Well, except for . So I’m going to sit here and be all sulky for a minute or two!

Okay, done!

So, yeah, I had a crappy cold which had me dosed up to the 9s with which don’t work but gave me something to do and the desire to do nothing but feel sorry for myself. Wednesday was the worst day, especially as we had to go to a parents thing at school for the boys – which was fun… Actually it was, as we were in the English room and discovered the had made a typo on one of their sheets – which gave Gary and I a lot of ! So much so, Gary even left the teacher a note tellling them about their mistake for them to find the next morning. Oh to have been a !!!!!

So, it’s Easter this weekend. And in rememberance of Jesus’s rise from the grave we’re giving out , because we all know they are given out because rabbits lay eggs, and the were pushed into to keep them upright….. right? What complete and ! Easter is Eostre – a . Yet another one the stole – gods bless em :p

I can’t be bothered ranting about it at the moment tho – it’s that cold still bothering me! I’m not up to my usual bitchy self!

What a day!

The day started at 5am – purposely so for a change instead of being woken up by the kids. By 6.12am we had bundled the kids into the car and set off to drive to Birkenhead for the day. We arrived at 8.15am, instead of the predicted 9/9.30ish due to a distinct lack of and finding a route that didn’t take forever! After spending a few hours at my sister’s, we visited a friend, then made our way to the afterward-party of the we had actually travelled down for!

We didn’t go to the actual christening itself being a church thing and churches aren’t places I spend a lot of time in nor have a lot of time for. So after we arrived at the thing afterwards, we spent a couple of hours catching up with family. To be honest, judging by some of the being displayed, I would have been happier not seeing certain . But then I didn’t go there to see them anyway, I went to see my and my sisters.

We left the party thing at 3 and then travelled up to my other sisters for an hour before setting off home. Got home at 6.10pm and I’m bloody , so don’t irritate me any!

Facts about me

I stole this one from Helena!

1. I’m 34.

2. Eyes – Blue

3. Hair – Black (usually)

4. Supposed to wear glasses for reading and computer use, rarely do. *Makes note to go for eye test*

5. Considering I’ve had four kids, I’m still fairly slim – at least I still fit into the same clothes I did before pregnancy. I rarely weigh myself because I don’t really care about my weight, so long as my clothes fit me, I’m happy.

6. Offline, I’m extremely anti-social. I just don’t like people. Online I can be more sociable as it’s on my own terms. But that’s not to say I won’t snap occasionally here too!

7. I was born a Cancer, but most of my planets are in Scorpio (including my ascendant). So people beware!
