You know you’ve lost it when you are gazing at a stick hoping against hope for 2 pink stripes. When you’re excited at the prospect of the 2 pink stripes to indicate ovulation and when this doesn’t happen on what is supposed to be day 14 then you give a long lecture to your ovaries on timing etc. Because they can hear you through the amount of partying/sleeping that they are doing. So today was Day 14 which is supposed to equal a surge on the ole luteinizing hormone. Oh how I love my luteinizing hormone. I should get a t-shirt with that printed on it.

So met up with the kid on Tuesday. I ended up with a hangover and an empty wallet for me troubles, i’m pretty sure there is a country and western song in there just waiting to get out. She’s matured a good bit but sometimes she has these flashes of the terror that she was and brings me back years. I was in the mood for an after work pint so when we met up we went for a drink before heading home to cook dinner. Two pints later the two of us are quite tiddly as we meander onto the DART. She has about the same ability as I have to hold my alcohol ie zero. And lately its gotten worse, as I am on best behaviour as I prepare my body, ie baby vessel for baby making. We got home, she exploded in the living room whilst she took over the PC. At one stage, she was talking to us, chatting to someone via email and Bebo and about to ring the sister K in holland. The kid invented multi tasking. The poor sister in Holland was talking to first the kid, then me, then Mammy2 and then back to the kid. Her head must have been in a tizzy.

I cooked a mash dinner, which the kid devoured. You’d swear she hadn’t had a dinner in months. She mentioned that the future mother in law offered to cook mash for once and she politely declined. She printed off as many CVs as she could and then we had the usual argument of what movie to watch.
This is all whilst she is in the bathroom looking for shampoo. We bought her a phone and she asks us for money for credit. I had started out that evening with fourty euros. I ended up with 5 cent. It was great to see her even if it does empty out my pocket every time. She’s not spending halloween with us
but she will hang out with us the day before. How nice of her She has plans for halloween night. She’s very excited about some band that are coming to Fibbers on Saturday night. I have no idea who they are or what they sing but she’s delighted. She was commenting on how one of her mates claims to see me most days in work. Apparently, S works for the call centre in my work place and we all share the same canteen. I asked how he recognised me and she looked at me as if I crash landed from another planet. “I put pictures up on Bebo of course. ” Of course, how silly of me. We didn’t agree on a film, we settled for Will and Grace. At least we have something in common. Gay men
