we've spent the day at my sisters today. Lauren stayed over last night as a bit of a treat and also so she could help my sis prepare lunch for us all today... i was hoping Ben and i would make the most of it and spend some quality time together but it was just like any other 'normal' night ...unproductive, boring, uneventful and yet we still managed to go to bed far too late.. and the clocks went forward too.. i think it was almost close to 4am by the time i settled down.. and then of course Nina woke and joined us... 5 bed spaces and us 3 all in the same one... arrgghh!! we didn't breakfast until almost midday but that was lucky as by the time we sat down to lunch it was almost 4pm anyway! our morning was rushed... all breakfasted and washed and cleaned up and running around trying to be ready by 2pm [altho our lift said mebbe earlier than tha] only for us to get a call at 2pm to say our lift was running late ...doh! ..i felt fit to bust all day tho, not sure what was niggling but i found myself disagreeing with everything and not really interested in the food or the conversation ...i did well to hold it in and i doh think anyone really picked up on it.. i think i am fed up of having to listen to sob stories from other people who aren't really in such a bad way and then not one person asking me how i am doing.. prolly a good thing 'cause if there is one sure fire way to set me off then its asking me if i'm alright! i think i'm just fecked off with tha world right now; no explanation mind, i doh have one :/ ...and so, the day went so so... Nina was easy enough to look after [for a change] and Lauren didn't get too giddy [for a change] and even my mum managed to remain moderately ok-ish altho i'm not sure my dad wanted to stay as long as we did... and Ben was just happy to see mums trifle! it was only towards the end of our stay that things got a lil frayed... Nina didn't have a nap all day... she's getting to that stage where each day is different and some days she do, some days she doh... so by the time we got home, she'd run around a lil and had a bath she was already verging on sleep without a bottle... with Ben, again, sat importing at tha puter i was determined i wasn't going to have another fruitless night so i set myself to watch Nip/Tuck ~ which i gotta look into 'cause i have a terrible feeling it might have been the last in the series *gasps* ...and then i took a long soak in tha tub ..and Bens still at tha puter! i doh complain... i wish he would use it more, i know i do... am just glad i didn't sit about waiting for another of those 'productive' nights *sighs*

this time two years ago i wasn't feeling so good :/ Nina woke up a short time back and if it hadn't been the case that she's woken up everynight around this time for tha past six months or more then i'd have prolly found it most perculiar.. i'd have loved to have gone back to sleep but i started thinking things over and ended up getting out of bed. one part of me can't believe how quickly the time has flown but i seem to have aged about ten years... thas unfair if nothing else! she doesn't look two years old tho'... her face is full of character and even without the full blown conversation she seems to be full of things to say *L ..she's an adorable lil' scamp with the cheekiest lil face who knows exactly how to twist us all around her lil chubby finger ...or is tha chubby lil finger?! ...i pray she's well later today, she shouldn't be ill on her birthday even if she hasn't the foggiest idea that its her day she certainly knows what presents are for :)
