Dirty little stop out

My Fridays are usually spent with my mother doing my food shopping and wandering around the shops killing time and spending dads money. This Friday was hectic as not only did I spend time with my mother I also had the girls over for dinner. I spent the morning with my mum. We went to Yate, picked up my new glasses and did my food shopping. My new glasses are very foxy, suit me down to the ground and I love them to bits. I left mums about 1:00 pm and headed for my friend Jans house. I love Jan, she is one of my favourite people and you can guaranty that you will get un-abridged honesty. Some people find her a little hard to take because of this but I love her for it. My visit to Jans is our little secret, we wanted to spend some time together without having to temper our conversation and she loves to have little Logan all to herself for a little while. I left to pick Charlie up at 3:45pm, took him to my mums then headed back to Jans. Charlie went off to play Gears of War 4 with my brother Jay at his place while I had the girls round. Kim and Leila showed up at Jans about 6:00 pm and we all headed back to mine for an evening of debauchery in Wales. Much merriment was had. I cooked and we sat around chatting and entertaining Logan until about 11:30 pm when I kicked everyone out so that I could go and pick Charlie up from Jays. Logan had had enough by then and was seriously over stimulated. I rang Charlie from mums when I arrived there and his phone was off. Deciding that Charlie could look after himself I decided to go to bed. I woke up at 9:00 am to a cold and empty bed. My dirty little stop out of a husband had been up all night playing computer games with my brother. He enjoyed himself and I got a good nights sleep so no harm done. We spent a little time around Jays so that him and his girlfriend Katie cound both coo over Logan then headed off to get some food. We spent the rest of the day being lazy, watching films and playing with Logan. Charlie's friends Paul and Nick came over in the evening to meet Logan and to see us before Christmas. Nick spends most of the year in Italy so it was great to see him. We played rock band all evening. Not a bad start to the weekend.

Hot Fuzz

I had a lazy day today. Had a list of things to do a mile long but decided that I didn’t have the energy for any of them so watched Hot Fuzz and worked on my crotchet. I am trying to organise a little get together with my friends before Christmas. All my friends have such busy lives, trying to find a date when we are all free is difficult.

Being A Mother

Just another ordinary, average day. After dropping Charlie off at work I came home and tidied up the havoc that one eight week old baby and one lazy husband can cause. The fridge is looking decidedly bare already but that will have to wait till Friday when I am going food shopping with my mum. Logan has once again been a complete angel sleeping six hours allowing me to get all my little jobs done and have a little me time.
One of my best friends sent me a text to day. It read like this

A mum has strengths that no one will ever know.
She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
She holds happiness, love and opinions.
She smiles when she feels like screaming.
She sings when she feels like crying.
Cries when she is happy and laughs when she is afraid.
Her love is unconditional.
There is only one thing wrong with her.
She sometimes forgets what she is worth.
Pass this on to every beautiful mum you know.
I just did x.

When I read this I nearly started crying. I think it sums up everything my mother is. That was when it hit me, I am now a mother. I loved my son from the minute I saw him as a little blob on a ultra sound but it wasn’t until that very moment that I realised that I was a mother. Logan will be looking to me that same way that I look to my mother and it’s a massive task. I couldn’t have asked for a better mother. We may have clashed on occasion but from the moment I found I was pregnant we have been very close. I hope that I can love and support Logan as much as my mother does me. One thing I do know is that I love my son with my whole being and I will stop at nothing to make him happy. I may not be the best mother but I will try damn hard.

Why does Monday have the ability to kill any joy left from the weekend??

Had a great weekend though, Charlie and I really enjoyed the hidden and haunted tour thingy we went on on Friday night. Not quite what I was expecting but I wasn't disappointed, I learnt a little more about the place I've spent the last 26 years but did end up with aching feet and a headache. Added bonus though, all that walking made me ravenous so BK was truly justified. On Saturday we managed to get out of bed obscenely late which buggered our plans a little but we made it to the pub at half past five so alls well that ends well. Had a nice chilled evening with some of Charlies friends, I still don't know them very well yet but they are all very welcoming. After leaving the pub we all headed for Nicks house but as we all had different modes of transport we agreed to meet up there. As Charlie and I were walking back to the car park I was taking the micky out of him, begging him not to drink as I cant stand the noise he makes thowing up. Just as another couple walk past us he declares in a rather loud voice " I won't drink, I'm going to give you such a rodgering later!". I'd never laughed so hard, I was bent double trying to breath.
Sunday was wonderfully uneventful, We indulged in the four "F's" a great deal and now I'm shattered.
My post has finally arrived woohoo I'm now the proud owner of all four "ring" movies in there original Japanese.
Still waiting for my job application though.
