Death

We have been to too many funerals lately, three this year already.
Now my Aunty has slipped into a diabetic coma and not expected to make it.

I cant believe I am about to lose my Aunty Kathy Schaf. My Dad is enroute to Portsmouth as I type. What a horrible reason to have to return home.

Keep your fingers crossed for her/us/everyone.

Bite me...

Im so sick of underhanded snarkiness.

Suspicion and asshatt remarks diguised as tame little comments.

Passive aggressive is sooooo nineties.

If you have something to say, just say it.

That is all.

Curly Sue Supplies Store opening soon - COMPETITION!

So I really really really have to get rid of some of the bajillions of beads and findings I have lying around my work area and have decided to set up a destash/supply store on Etsy!

BUT, and herein lies the problem, I need a name for said store.

I want something that stands out and is easy to remember and relevant to what Im selling so that, dear reader, is where you come in!

Im holding a competition to come up with a name for my new store, name chosen will win this awesome pair of celestial crystal and stirling silver wire wrapped earrings!

Hurrah for free stuff!!

Post your ideas here or convo me on Etsy!!

Competition will be open until a name has been chosen, now put your thinkin' caps on!

Anxiety...

So I have a trip planned back home to see the family with the kids in a couple of weeks (10 sleeps actually, Spawn #1 and I counted this morning).
Its just me and the kiddos....in an airport...on a plane, no husband to lug stuff and do silly dances to get kids to eat (I find myself in a trance as he contorts, cartwheels and struts to amuse them myself actually!)

Im thinking of ordering some go go gadget arms on alchemy so I can boing them out to the other end of the boarding lounge as one child tries to go duty free shopping and the other sets up camp under a Japanese tourist's chair whilst still keeping an eye on the bags, car seat and balancing a mountain of snacks on my head sherpa style.

Once we are on the plane Im tossing up between Hannibal Lector type restraints for the 4 year old or a good ol dose of phenergan to just knock her out. The people in front will be so glad, she has great seat kicking abilities that one.
Number 2 will be safely stowed in the over head locker...wait..I mean buckled into her car seat so apart from shrieking like a banshee she wont be able to actually get up and try to open the door or anything.

At the other end Ive asked for some assistance to disembark and collect my luggage. Last time I travelled with just #1 on my own this was great, we had our very own airport 'official' (Read pervy old grandfather volunteer type that had his eyes on my, at the time, pregnant bousairs the whole time) It was worth putting up with the lecherous old trout to cut the queue.

I must ring up and organise that again and note to self...wear booby top on plane..
