Part-time my arse!

So, this week between Saturday & Friday I’ll have worked 27 hours in 6 days out of 7, how is that part-time? I’m not a happy bunny, or a happy mammy. As much as I love having a job, I love going to work, this is just too much. I have a family, a life and yet I find myself rushing around catching up on housework, playing with S and making the most of our mornings, then, just waiting for the late afternoon to pass before I go to work again. Then when I get home, I’m too tired to even chat with hubby.

I’ve saw the older 2 kids for a total of 40mins on Monday & Wednesday, and the 20mins I saw them this morning, will have to keep me going until tomorrow. I miss them

No Title

Still nothing back from The O2..

The O2 Experience

On Sunday the 19th myself, my friend and 3 of my nieces(17, 15 & 9) and my daughter(almost 11) attended Pink at the O2 Dublin.

We arrived at the venue at 4pm, having attended The Point many times in the past, we had arrived early thinking we would be able to get security bands to enter the pitt and be close enough for the younger ones to see pink, but have some breathing space by staying to the back of the pitt, as we had always done in the past. We were with the first group to enter through entrance 3 and soon realised that wasn’t the case. We were right by the barrier at 6:30pm, then the crowds rolled in behind us. There wasn’t room to move an elbow by 8pm, and just before 9, people continued to push from the back while others fainted all around us.

Thankfully security were handing out water, but one girl beside us started to wretch and asked if she could get over the barrier for a minute to get some air. Security told her she could get out, but wasn’t getting back in, so she wouldn’t go. About 9:10 the pushing and shoving got too much for the younger girls and I decided to pull them out of the crowd, it was madness.

We went to find a supervisor to see if there was any seating left at all, it didn’t matter to us if we ended up miles away at that point, the younger girl was feeling faint and was a bit shook up. Needless to say he looked at me like I had 10 heads and told me to put them up on the columns down stairs and come back in 20mins, because people would move downstairs when the show started. I pointed out it was already crazy down there and he shrugged his shoulders.

We went downstairs and I stood them on the column as he had suggested, we missed the beginning of the show, but they were happy enough until a drunken couple came over ‘dancing’ beside us, and the woman went flying on some water someone had spilled earlier. The girls asked to leave at that point, but as my friend and my other 2 nieces were still up at the front, leaving wasn’t really an option, so I brought them out to the smoking area for a while, when we came back in we stood near the doors to the smoking area and it wasn’t too bad there for the last 20 minutes of the show.

The show itself was fantastic, crowd control was a major issue though. We’ll know for again to get seated tickets.

I’m having an ‘I’m going to Pink tomorrow’ party!

Lots of Pink music, just stuck on the DVD and hubby is now drooling over her.. he says he won’t mind if I come home lesbian lol

Oooh it’s gonna be sooooooooo much fun!

Here’s a sneak preview!

Oh dear, I haven’t updated in days! Bad bad blogger!!!

I’ve been very busy working, parenting and occasionally tweeting!

The boy is back on form(thank God!), back to his normal happy little self which means we’re all more relaxed. Didn’t do much today, just went out to buy hoover bags(control your excitement!), Match Attax and dropped my hoover into work because the shop one is fooked! Aren’t I a good little employee??

The only bit of action today was the kidette(youngest girl, 4), chipped her tooth when she got in the way of a passing bike. She’s fine though, but off to the dentist on Monday to get it checked out. Really need to get her teeth looked at, she drinks gallons of milk, but this is the 3rd time her tooth has chipped. Can’t be good, even if they are only her baby teeth.

Think I’ve bored ye enough!

Have a fun Saturday night!!!

P.S. ONLY 1 SLEEP TO P!NK!!!!! I’m sooooo gonna come home a lesbian!

Aaaaaggghhhhhh!

Oh dear God!

The boys ODD is way out of hand at the moment. Everyone within a 100m radius is being antagonised and bated into argument, if they don’t argue back, he hits them! Trying to stay calm and unreactive(so I don’t massafangle him or give him the satisfaction of thinking he’s won) while explaining “hitting your cousin with a scooter because she said ‘I bet you wouldn’t’ when you threatened to do so, is NOT acceptable behaviour!”.

He’s now in his room, far from anyone he can fight with. Even if he has a good blow out and wrecks his room, it means we’ve half a chance of getting the ‘normal’ D back some time soon!

All this because I’ve had the gaul to get a job and turn his little world upside down

Another movie review

I was kinda dreading watching this movie after last nights disappointment, but I have to say Mad Money was definitely worth watching!

We sat down expecting the worst, I mean, what have Diane Keaton, Queen Latifa and Katie ‘I’ve become a drone’ Holmes got in common??

But when you watch the movie, you realise that that was some damned clever casting for the characters they play.

For someone who hasn’t been a Katie Holmes fan since her Joey Potter days, there wasn’t so much as a whiff of the robotic Mrs. Cruise off her in this movie!

Queen Latifah was.. Queen Latifah, she’s always fantasmic. And Diane Keaton played the roll of a money hungry lunatic to perfection!

I should probably mention the men, or at least one of them! When the hell did Ted Dansen go soooooooo grey??? *shock*

So that’d be a thumbs up from me then, I guess..

We didn’t get to take many photos, the heavens opened and we got lashed on. So here are the 5 little photographers works of art and a few ’signs of recession’ from Cavan.

Mini photo walk

I’ve been inspired by Darragh Doyle’s hillarious find on their photo walk through Temple bar the other day.

So, between that and my own Darragh Doyle(coincidentally, he’s not his long lost father or anything) taking out his rather dusty Kid Tough camera, myself and the kids have decided to do our own small scale(and I don’t just mean height!) photo walk through Cavan today.

I’ll post our findings this evening!
