So this is my first proper day back at home and already I've been pushed into the deep end. That's what our home life is like- there is no rest/holiday/intermediate/easing in part. No.
You do or die.
Dad, Ayesha and a couple of her friends are away to Dumfries today to a Chocolate Factory to be poked and prodded by Willy Wonka himself. Umm.. That sounds wrong. Moving on!
They had a lovely day and as they did, Mum and I were at home, cornered in by the Electrician who decided to show up today.
"Sorry I haven't been for a while, I've been busy!" He said
"Not a problem!" We said, for "Busy" is a word we are closely familiar with. In fact, we breathe it. We even say it in our sleep… We set him to work and promised him a coffee and biscuit break as he took off his shoes and entered the kitchen. (NO OUTSIDE SHOES IN HERE!)
And then we had to wait for a man to come fix Mum's cracked car windscreen. That took ages and we couldn't leave the house until the electrician and car man had home and so we began to clean our home- not a task for the faint-hearted. I don't understand how it gets so messy every day.
All through this I was trying to calm down mother dear as she had panic attack after panic attack about how things won't get done in time for the wedding.
Then at 6pm, the happy campers came back (high as kites on E numbers and junk food) to see the new addition, Rani the rabbit, to our animal farm (we have 8 chickens, with more chicks on the way and an existing rabbit, Charlie.) Once the children had run about for an hour like three headless chickens and played with all the other animals, they were fed and returned to their respective families.
On the way back from dropping them off, Ayesha, Mum and I stopped at a friends' house to say hello. It was there, between the good company and jokes, that KP Uncle said that I should write a blog about the days leading up to the wedding. And so I am.
