Last Fri was flat out helping Lo. make her wedding cake. Not her wedding cake but a cake she was making for someone else. Was determined to go out and determined I was driving but that was scuppered by Anna who said I'd be very boring if I didn't go and have a drink with them. Talk about peer pressure???
It was a blast. Had a great time. As usual Aedin wound me up and as usual I reacted. She made foo yung? Aaagh, it's that lovely meat dish that you make and then wrap in lettuce leaves? Anyone? Anyone? Either way, it was delicious. Was too polite to go for a fourth one but yummy. Me and Aedin then had this mad chat where we discovered that we both kiss ous husbands mostly to annoy the kids. When does that happen? When do you stop going weak at the knees for the man in your life and only kiss him when the kids are present to gross them out? Thankfully me and D. are not the only disturbed ones in this game.
Really cool as well to sit with women who think like you and remind you that they do stupid things too like . . .leave their kids in the car when they go to meet a friend for coffee. Okay, okay, the baby was new. She was in a different car where the baby could only go in the back. heheheh, she still left him in the car though. Makes me feel better for locking the borrowed child into the car with the free locusts. (That would be locusts that escaped from their box as opposed to locusts that came free with something - I sound like gift grub's Keith Duffy now ). More chat, great wine, fab desserts (one was a really nice coffee cake that looked like a coffee cake that you make) and fab, wonderful company. So glad I started this as I know I'm normal. I forget that sometimes, that I can't be the only mother who looks at her kids and dispairs of ever getting it right.
There were so many other stories from that night and you'll have to decide yourself if I've forgotten or being nice to those concerned.
