Most parents say this to their kids when asked endlessly how long it will be until whatever it is that they will be doing that is exciting, technically its not a full sleep as we will be up around four in the morning to set off to the airport. My A4 sheet of paper with my "to do" list is completely ticked off *high fives myself* we are off on our jollies.
Being away last weekend and the early part of the week I start to panic that everything won't get done, the list being strictly adhered to. It's funny how hubby and I do work cohesively together when going on holiday its about the one time we do, both having the common aim of getting us to that much longed for holiday. After the last few months we really are ready for the break, going to a villa for us is a real wind down, a time to totally relax. Two weeks for me is too long, a week not quite long enough, ten days would be perfect but villa's don't work that way.
Last night T and I went to Frankie & Benny's. One of the mums had decided to arrange an end of SATs celebration for the whole class, nice idea but spending two hours with 25 pre-pubescent kids isn't my idea of fun in an establishment that is overly priced for the quality of the food, those bloody overhead fans making us freezing. Me and a like minded mum hung out in a booth wishing we were in our pj's, bra off, glass of red in hand.
Today I managed to get my hand and toenails french polished in one of those walk in nail bars that has popped up in our town, you don't understand a word they are saying so hope for the best that you don't come out with a million adornments on your nails. The smell of I don't know what is so overpowering I wanted to ask for one of those clinical face masks they were wearing. Also managed a trip to a salon for waxing, not my welcome mat, the lip and chin require much more attention at my age. I decided to have for the first time ever my eyebrows tinted, this must be a bit like a poor man's botox and I guess I will get used to the surprised look, the kids saying as soon as I walked in "what have you done to your eyes". Hubby never even noticed. Me mostly prepped and prepared, a few last minute things to buy for the kids and I just love all those travel size things you can get from Superdrug.
The cases are packed and in the car, been to mams to do any last bits for her, like a tag team my sister gets back from Cuba tomorrow. The kids have gone to bed for the one more sleep, doubt they will do much of that as they are just a little excited.
I will be back in eight sleeps, ta ta for now.
