life is full and busy. today G and I started a new weekly session called messy monsters. she really seemed to enjoy it and i did too. there were a couple of girls from the playgroup we go to on a wednesday morning and it was nice to chat with them in a less hectic situation. the other nice thing was watching G settling in to something new. i love the fact that she doesn't display any of my shyness and awkwardness with new people and long may that last. talking of playgroups, i may have mentioned that one day i must have had a funny turn and i volunteered to join the committee who run the group. not only that, i signed up for the position of secretary. less than 24 hours later i was thinking "what the fuck have i got myself in to??". it took quite a few weeks to feel comfortable in my new role - a role that involves wearing a name badge and working with a group of women i had barely met before - but i'm ok with it now. tomorrow is our summer party and i've organized the craft activity (we are making colourful fish from paper plates), got cakes for the bakesale (note that i say "got" - i cheated and bought some because i simply could not be bothered to bake - and yes i will be passing them off as home made unless someone actually asks me!), written the summer newsletter (they actually let me write whatever the heck i want and to be honest i have no idea what to write but i just tell myself that no one actually bothers to read it anyway so who cares), and made a bunch of other posters and notices. all in all i'm feeling pretty useful to society right now and being a stay at home mum means i don't always feel that way. (although don't get me wrong, i love love love being a stay at home mum).
this weekend we are having a family party for the cg's 40th birthday. it wouldn't be a big deal if all our family lived close by but they don't so on Saturday night we are going to have 8 adults and 5 kids staying at our house. right now i'm not even sure where everyone is going to sleep. i've told people to either get very drunk or find a good space to lay down very early on in the evening! at some point i'm going to have to write a shopping list and before that i'm going to have to decide what we are all going to be eating!!
so anyway, when i say life is full and busy it's not just words, it's my way of saying that i know how lucky i am; not everyone is that lucky.
