Normal Days
Singing in The Rain
08/12/07 22:49
Today started early, ok it wasn't really but it felt it, I rolled over and wished the day to go away, for Boo to stop making breakfast and for another 5 hours sleep. I must have run out of fairy dust for it didn't happen. Tony got up and showered, Buzz crawled in for huggles and so they day began.
Boo brought me coffee and I paid her in tickles, she ran off and I tried to wake up. She came back armed with the laptop. 'Show me The Northern Lights', why she couldn't show herself, but she likes this morning routine. laying in my big bed with two many pillows looking up strange things on the net. She loves the net.
Tony went to work, he took Boo and her violin with him. Buzz left me to the lure of the remote control and unsupervised Saturday morning TV. I snuggled down, my head starting to hurt and no desire to get up. Pea appeared, well she stomped past my day. She's my daughter alright, a complete night owl and foul in the mornings. "Get your arse in here for some love'. Her tousled blonde hair and quirky smile curled round the door frame, 'but TV'. I threw a pillow at her. She picked it up laughing and threw it back at me, then jumped onto the bed and drowned me in kisses. She left. I slept.
I woke head throbbing, joy a migraine. 'Mummy get up I've got sax'. Damn! I crawled out of bed and hit the shower, too painful. Need to wear a skirt, if I feel like this I need to look good. raw diets working, my green skirt now goes on! I race around with two Screams watching and tutting. Leave me alone
Just leaving and the phone goes. I answer it with 'I'm on my way!' , yes it was Tony but he wasn't pushing me, he's sold the speaker in the dining room can I bring it in. Sure. It's heavy, we leave I forget my coat, it's raining, so the shower was worth the effort.
Pea goes into sax and Boo tells me off for not coming earlier to watch the end of her lesson, I didn't know, my telepathic line must be done. She's already sucking her thumb and has the look of home in her eyes. Not yet babe, we have to hit the shops, no I don't want to either but the lure of the lights and the tinsel is just too much! I buy jeans, designer ones, cool. I love when shops close down LOL!
Boo starts singing Rudoplh, well the tiny Boo who lives in my phone does as it informs me Sarah from college is ringing. It's been over a year! waffle and chat as I battle through town, the whole of England has decided Eastbourne is THE place to shop. The Little Screams old bits of me and we barge through the blue rinses and pushchairs to the one shop I want to go to. Is there any air in here? I'm still on the phone, strangers ask my opinion of the nipple tassles and the farting pig, do I think Jane and Ton will like them? Yes, I say. We're in BHS! Boo and Buzz choose presents, I' still on the phone, I pick Christmas cards, all reduced I hang up, the queue reaches Seaford and I don't have enough arms, are baskets a bomb hazzard or something, the shop is full of people balaning, twin sets, nipple tassles and bath mats. I join the cue. The fairies must have remembered me as it vanished before my eyes and we served at once.
Back in the rain. I hate rain. Did I say I hate rain. Remember I have no coat.
Pea's glowing from her lesson, she's glued to You Tube in the office. I need coffee. I bought sweets, The screams love me and allow me to drink AND read the paper. I even had two sentences with Tony. We leave. My head has grown to 10 times it's normal size, that hat Layla is making me will never fit and then what will I do. I make wedges and vacuum the flat. I start to download songs from iTunes but get bored, I buy an album instead, one that some other person decided all sounded good together. I crawl on the sofa with a boiling lavender bag. Just let me sleep. We all watch a Christmas film, it's nice. It finishes and another begins, they leave and I bury deeper into the quilt. I sleep. I jump up, it's dark, oh no, where are the children? It's been hours, no love it's been 5 minutes. I go back to sleep.
Tony comes home and the children squeal in delight. They've dressed as elves, they look cute. We watch Strictly Come Dancing. I'd love to dance, Boo is glued, 'when can I do ballroom'' her mouth says but she doesn't look at anyone. 'As soon as Father Christmas brings us an extra day each week babe', I reply.
We order take out. Curry for us and chinese for Boo. I eat as I haven't today, it's nice. We all wonder at the disaster of X Factor. The Screams go to bed. Time escapes me. Then it's 10pm and we settle down to watch the boxing. All 72 seconds of it! It's done it again though, it's twenty past 11, where is the time, do you have it?
