Slan!
April 14, 2011
I just realised that I stopped posting in this waaaay back in Oct! You could take that to mean I’ve been so busy out living life that I’ve had no time to update! Which is partly true. What is more true is that life has become so settled for me , there’s no point in me recounting my day to day events for you…It was fun whilst the teenager was making everything difficult…that was the point on this journal after all. I still don’t know whether I’ll ever let her read it.
She’s 21 going on 22 now and whilst she’s aware of how difficult she was, its one thing to accept it, its another thing entirely to read about it on a public place.
So I guess this is it! Time to say slan agus beannacht!
So living in the now, its very very hard. I am a planner, I plan everything, given half the chance I’d plan a spontatenous night out. That’s how bad I am. At the moment for example the kid has moved into her place with her man and I am trying to enjoy having the place back to ourselves. But then my brain wanders off and starts re-arranging her room even though she hasn’t half the stuff moved out yet? I mean, do I want to be moving a chair into her room as she walks out with books? It would look very like here’s your hat where’s your hurry. So I am trying.
I told her we’d get her a flat screen telly for christmas as we were planning on getting her the xbox anyways. They have a small telly she brought from Mam’s house, I am amazed its lasted as long as it has. She seems to be settling well into college, although the cost is unbelieveable. A few weeks ago, she spent the best part of 200 euros on materials and this week another 150. Thank god for the college account. We’d be broke. Seriously, the idea of free education is just that, an idea. She had her first assigment last week and will get her grade this week. As its continous assessment, she needs to get a good mark for the first year which I’m sure she will.
