Catching up

Hiya!! How ya been?!?!  Long time to post but I’m back now!  I don’t have any excuses for not post­ing, just lazy.  When last I posted we dis­cussed wed­dings and what/how/where/when to do it all.  I still haven’t made any deci­sions.  I know what I want I just don’t know how I’m going to find the loca­tion.  Well I know HOW, a wed­ding plan­ner.  I’m just too tight to spend €800 to have some­one orga­nize it for me.

Today Squidge started her first day at nurs­ery!  Wal and I walked her there this am and she was SOOOO FREAKING EXCITED!!!! OMG! OMG! OMG!!  We were sup­posed to just get her set­tled in this week.  We were asked if we wanted to stay in the staff lounge and wait.  I tried to explain to them that Squidge is NOT a clingy child and would be just fine.  When I got back to pick her up they were really sur­prised at how well she did.  They kept ask­ing me if she had been at another nurs­ery or if I leave her w/ peo­ple often.  The answer to both of those were no.  I don’t have any fam­ily here so it’s not like we can just drop her off any­time we feel like it.  She has stayed w/ my friend Byr­ney a few times when I’ve had a class or just needed a break.  Although I do think that’s a bit dif­fer­ent as Squidge is really close to C & N so they’re more like fam­ily.  Any­way they were really sur­prised at how con­fi­dent she is.  I’d like to chalk it up to my supe­rior par­ent­ing skills but I think it’s really 90% her per­son­al­ity. Notice I’m giv­ing myself 10% of the credit!  LOL hey I have to believe I’ve done some­thing right these last 3 yrs.  I’ll take par­tial credit for hav­ing a con­fi­dent well adjusted child!

Squidge was in hys­ter­ics when I picked her up.  She didn’t want to leave!  I chat­ted w/ the man­ager and we agreed that we could skip the whole eas­ing her into nurs­ery plan of theirs.  I tried to tell them that she would be fine! Tomor­row she’s in for a full day, 9–5.  Then it’s every Wednes­day and Thurs­day until she goes to pri­mary school.  Eeek she’s grow­ing up so fast.  I told her this morn­ing I didn’t want her to grow up any more than she already has. (appar­ently I for­got the last part of the sen­tence when I orig­i­nally posted– ooops Freudian slip?)

I don’t have any pic­tures as it just didn’t feel right but maybe I’ll take a photo of her in front of the gate tomor­row morn­ing.  I was feel­ing a bit dis­com­bob­u­lated and a bit sad so kept my cam­era away.

Did I  men­tion that I took Squidge to get her hair cut?? 

Yah, not a big­gie except that it was the first time she’d had it done pro­fes­sion­ally.  I just had her fringe done.  Her hair had been dri­ving me batty for a while.  Even though her hair includ­ing the ‘fringe’ was long enough  (it was bob length, the fringe, the rest of her hair is LOOOOONG) it was still always very messy.  I would have to clip her hair back all the time and the clips were dam­ag­ing her hair.  Some­times she would pull the clips off tear­ing huge clumps of hair.  She looked soo dif­fer­ent with it cut but I’ve got­ten used to it now so think she’s back to look­ing all cute and adorable. I’ll post a photo once I can be both­ered to get them off my mem­ory card.

We attended a birth­day party yes­ter­day but no pho­tos, see above.

I’m exhausted so will have to end this here. I have a HUGE post brew­ing in my brainz’s about British Mil­i­tary Fit­ness so watch out for that one!!
