Highs and Lows
In the space of one night, the rollercoaster of emotions one can go through in relation to the kid.
I arrived home last night, later then usual, Operation Freeflow was in full effect. Ordinarily, I would have no problem with lots of guards around, espeically when some of the them are of the female variety but when the traffic takes an extra 40 minutes to get into town, then I’m not a happy camper. I stopped off at Clearys to see what they had to offer with regards to tops and I eyed up a few.
On arrival home, I was informed that the doctors appointment went grand, and the kid was put on the pill. Needless to say I was not impressed. But apparently, once she’s reached 16, we don’t have any say with regards to her going on the Pill. The only positive thing I can take from this maybe the hormones might improve with regards to PMT. I am still playing the ostrich in the sand with regards to her being a sexual being. I feel this gives her a licence to go off and shag all around her? I guess I just need some time to let this filter in and realise that its one more step that she’s taking towards adulthood.
To more positive things, A Christmas Carol was great. I love it, its just so christmassy. As Mammy2 puts it, its like being hit over the head with a christmas stick, tis fabulous! With the lights up on O’Connell street and Henry street, I am so in the christmas spirit. So, my first black tie event tomorrow night, I hope I don’t embaress myself. I’m sure it will all go well, the crux will be staying out whilst not getting locked with everyone else. There is a champagne reception and stuff but like I said, with an attempt this month I don’t want to drown those poor swimmers whilst they work on seducing the ovaries.
