weddings, birthday parties, fatigue.....

What a weekend!...........
I am glad it is over.............
unfortunately it is the same this weekend.....
Only difference is that..................
this weekend is Crafty Croppers 3rd crop.....
I am looking forward to seeing all the girls again....
I am not looking forward to the birthday parties..
Due to the crop I get out of one party, Saturday afternoon....
but I am not saved for Sunday morning.....

back to what happened this weekend...........
Friday afternoon my little man felt rejection for the first time...
and it was terrible my heart broke for him....
I cried and he cried..................
I wanted to kick his friend in the teeth.....
isn't that terrible!!!! that I would want to harm another child because he has hurt my sons feelings......I question if I am a good person or not......
I just hope that his friend never finds himself in the position my son was...
It was terrible hearing a 7 year old say that he was betrayed and hurt by his best friend.....(yes those were his words)

Saturday evening I went to a friends daughters wedding.......
what an elegant wedding..............
many of you who read my blog might recall my feelings on weddings...
they have not changed! LOL
BUT.....this wedding was particularly in good taste.....
from the bride to the flower girls to the reception all very tasteful!
we had a fabulous time.........

I woke up Sunday morning with a hangover....
I showered and medicated myself heavily......
Dashed out to pick up the birthday boy as he slept over his friends house.
he had managed to break his glasses they were held together with masking tape.............
then off to the luna park where his birthday party was being held....
Everything was perfect...the cake arrived so did the 30 basil plants that I had ordered for the mothers of the kids attending the party...(don't forget May 9th was mothers day)
Everything went perfectly apart from the fact that the kids didn't want to eat not even scrumptious gooey chocolate birthday cake!!...all they wanted to do was PLAY!!!
and that they did..................
By 3pm we were home with bags and bags full of presents and leftover food!!
Sustenance for the last three days has been leftovers from the party...
I have forbidden my man and man child to enter a supermarket until they eat everything that is in the refrigerator.....
I in the mean time have been kiting up kits for the crop....
whilst suffering from fatigue..............
I am so tired that I get out of bed in pain.......and at least twice a day have a low grade temp......
I am not impressed......I am damn right angry because I have no help I cannot get sick!!!......so I kicked a couple of doors yesterday from frustration.......I felt better if not stupid............
Well you see it is a vicious circle if I get sick I drag my self around all day because there is no one to do all the things that I do (cherish your mothers and fathers folks if they are helping you.....you are one of the lucky ones!!)
So i get no rest and I do not get over the illness it drags on and on.

I detect that I am whining.........................
no more.....................
positive thoughts......................

off to the kitting...
later........................

  1. What a huge weekend!! No wonder you are suseptable to any illness passing by...

    I'm in total agreement with you re child's best friend betraying him. Such an awful thing to happen, it takes away some of their childhood innocence and makes me so cranky!!

    Hope you are feeling better soon and the weekend crop goes smoothly xx
