In a few hours Jack has his 8th birthday party - Laserforce - with 9 others kids, all boys of course and Jim and I will take turns to zap a few too :-)
We are trying to keep it simple - Jim has made a fab cake with blue icing and hundreds and thousands and mini marshmallows and we have a load of sausage rolls and mini hot dog sausages and pineapple and crisps and sweets and drinks and thats it - we always find there is too much left over and we have to bring it all to the venue anyway - feel a bit nervous there isnt enough - silly me!!!!
Jack is finishing off Jims birthday present - he's left too much still to do and it needs to be ready for Monday - it is a story he has made up but I am sure Jim will love it - it is sort of about Jims fav Aussie animal - the sugar glider - I was trying to arrange a visit to handle a sugar glider for his present but they only do the whole show and with the flights we have booked, the just isnt the money in the kitty. But I will do it definately - just later on in the year......and I have a lunch planned for Jim on Monday - a place that does traditional English High Teas - uses china and little sandwiches and everything - a but nervous about that one too - when I called to book they said they will definately be open but its a bank holiday and its a little place....and they aren't open today so I guess I just have to call on Monday to confirm - and if not a plan B...oh bugger - something special for Jims 40th that doesnt cost a fortune???
Its my own fault when it comes to birthdays I always like to do something special but esp with it being Jims 40th it would be lovely to do something really really fab - he deserves it and with half of his cards still stuck in the postal backlog, it already feels a bit marred.
But do you know what - it will be great. Positive thinking. Jack will be a kid and have fun today - Jim and I will get to be adults and not have to worry about Jack as he is at scouts sleep over tonight and tomorrow we will see and Monday will be great, Jim will have hugs and kisses and some presents have arrived.
So this is not really a blog but a rant... not a rant a vent of sorts. Vent now over :-)
