HELL ON EARTH

Yesterday we went to a party with Alex in one of those hideous play places, you know the wacky warehouse type deal. We have been before, and it's actually quite a good one, but my God the site that greeted us when we arrived was like hell on earth. I have never seen so many kids in one place IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. Alan almost ran for the door! There wasn't a seat in the house, the noise was deafening, and of course the place was for the most part run by shiftless "am I bovvered" teenagers. The kids had a great time though which is all that matters.

We had to leave early to take Alan to the airport he is off to the far East on business for 10 days (yey 10 days of childcare on my own!) he has had a nightmare though. The plane still on the runway at Heathrow caused massive delays, instead of catching his onward connection to Singapore he has had to stay overnight in a grotty hotel without any luggage. He was booked business class but has had to settle for economy, which is rubbish when he has to go straight to a meeting when he gets there, with no sleep and an eight hour time difference.

I stayed in and watched TV and blog surfed last night. I visited Dawn's hysterical blog http://mom2my6pack.blogspot.com/ she is so funny, one of her readers posted a comment which she had seen on a bumper sticker which I laughed out loud about and I may post on my fridge it read "having kids is like being pecked to death by chickens"...............I guess we can all relate to that.

I got some scrummy stamps in the post yesterday, some of the brand new hero arts stamps from Sir Stampalot, so I will be having a play with them pretty soon.

Off to Rosemary Merry's shop for some craft retail therapy today. Hope I find something nice to spend my pennies on.
