Today was always going to be eventful. Indeed it was very eventful....and I'm going to tell you why.
I should start be mentioning that luckily todays lecture was cancelled, so technically I didn't bunk off. However, it was the media fair from 10am -4pm and I didn't even get to pop my head round the door, whoops!
So, got up late, as anyone would on a packed day. Rushed out the door to get to the health visitor 10 minutes late. Luckily she still saw us, and now instead of our usual 6 weekly appointments, I now only have to tak my son every three months, woo -hoo!.
From there we headed to Jolly Jungles, an indoor play centre packed with noisy toddlers. We lasted and hour and a half and I had to leave....my friend who we met there left 30 mins before we did so as a whole we didn't do too badly.
We then rushed home, allowing time for the mad hunt for paperwork, and to quickly sort out the washing, before heading to our appointment at the hospital. There we collected two little pics and heard the news that I am indeed 10 weeks and two days pregnant. Giving a due date of the 13th June, allowing plnty of time for me to complete my assignments. Woo hoo! From here it was a quick stop at the midwife and finally home.
I continued to potter round, doing more washing, cooking and stuff, like you do, but my house looked a tip. Who cares I thought, not like anyones coming round!
So I'm stood there at the kitchen window, slowly washing the dishs from that morning, when I see a car approach. It runs through my mind that it may be my brother in law, to realise that he doesnt live in the same town, let alone the same country, so no, it wouldn't be him. Then it occurs to me, the only other person I know who drives a car like that, is my husbands old boss.....shock horror, he is approaching the front door!
Yes I hung my head in shame at the wet washing draped around the house. The toys strewn around the floor, the obvious need to hoover.
Yet, this is all irrelevant. He came round with a purpose, and that was to offer Matt a job. Yes thats right, a real job....he's only been out of work for three months, it felt like forever, so another woo hoo for today.
So today was eventful, for all the right reasons.......oh and in case you were wondering, no I didnt quite get round to practicing that JCB cake!
