Mum's the WordI Lost My Week
Posted by Mum's the Word at 8:24pm on Sun 4 May 08
I can’t believe that it is over a week since my last blog entry! Where exactly has the time gone? If you do happen to stumble upon my lost week, please do not feel the need to return it to me, as the more I think about it, the more I get flash backs of troubling occurrences and overall general chaos. I do recall suffering from the effects of this bug that the kids gave to me. It was horrible, I slept so much! Which is no mean feat in itself, in this house, especially as my bedroom doubles as the living room!

I also recall offering a stranger hugs and beers (why is it we always recall embarrassing and uncomfortable events first?) This event occurred after I replied to a story comment from some geezer called “grumpy,” only to discover that it was not my blog buddy. Some cheeky watsit has stolen his name! So if you are listening “fake Grumpy” please change your name, as I risk my reputation by offering strange men hugs and beer.

I also did something new for the first time this week. I worked at night. It was really exciting! In my 32 years, I have up until now only ever worked during the day and in the evening. So when the opportunity came to go to work at midnight, I jumped at the chance. The excitement! I went into the Adver Office with Steph to put the election results on the web. I was pleased to discover that our local councillor Mavis kept her seat.
N.B
Rereading that last paragraph has made me realise that I am either getting old or sad, or both. The things that excite me now are so different to the things that did five years ago. I am now panicking and downloading Rhianna and Sugarbabes in a bid to retain what’s left on my youth! Even the Ed called me a Muppet when he found out that I had actually volunteered to work Thurs night. Mind you I am not too bothered about that comment, as this comes from someone who actually runs miles and miles for fun! Hehe! (1-1 Dave)

Well if you have read this far and you are still awake, I apologise for being old and boring. I think I might start a mid life crisis! What can I do for excitement next….. Answers on a postcard!

I am glad to hear that you are feeling better.
As for night shifts I have never found them to be exciting.
We do find them to be convenient in that they allow me to help with the school runs etc and my wife does enjoy having the evening TV and the bed to herself.
