They arrive tomorrow!Posted on Sat 1 March 2008 at 08:45It was September 06 when I last saw any of my sons, so you can probably imagine how I feel right now. Dammit, just typing that has made the tears well in my eyes and I didn't know it was going to happen. My heart is full to bursting: it's a difficult emotion to convey. The sheer pride I have in all my children, how the boys have matured into well rounded adults and made me feel so incredibly lucky that they are mine. Boys, I miss you loads but I'm happy in the knowledge that you are carving out lives for yourselves and seem to be making a damn fine job of it. Always know that I love you. Shit, crying again........I guess it's the anticipation of Shane's visit - that and the fact that the other 2 phoned me up this afternoon - which made it 3am in Scotland!! Bad, bad boys!! But it has been absolutely pissing it down here – please Lord, don’t let summer be finished as Shane and Lisa are here for a fortnight!! I’m working tomorrow, then round to pick the girl up from the horses, then off to the airport. I have no doubt whatsoever I will be crying as soon as I see them on the tarmac (note to self: don’t wear make-up as it will be smeared down face before they get in the terminal!) Today was meant to be a day of cleaning but it’s not that unkempt, so I have done very little. And what I did do, I did with the accompaniment of my new CD’s – Marylin Manson, Nirvana and Linkin Park - I’ve had a cracking day!! Stereo jacked up to the max – a veritable wall of sound – I could still hear it over the hoover, the washing machine and the waste disposal!! I had a really crappy day at work on Thursday – got punched in the face by an irate patient. I just didn’t see it coming so I am a bit annoyed with myself that it happened. Not to worry, he punches like a girl but I have bruises from his knuckles on my chin and a bit of a fat lip. C’est la vie, I guess and chalk it up to fate. I went to yet another housewarming yesterday – I’m so loving living here! A good mix of social events: some with the expats and some with my colleagues. Not only that: we got a lift with other work-mates so I didn’t even have to drive. When you do all the driving, it’s just so good to not have to for a change. Lavi – you’re a star!!
