at last...

At last, finding 10 min to write on the blog... so no change really - life is as hectic as ever, and priorities list get longer and longer and the blog never makes it to the list...!
So what happens since the garden was changed into an episode of 'christmas at the Kumar'?
Well - i won't go through the details of cooking for 40, for 2 parties 5 days apart; the worst mothers day ever (I am going to have to think what we do next year to ensure we are not scared again! the outlaws launched at us on the day, in a move to make themselves REAL outlaws); managed not to miss any planes, trains or anything else, due to rain, volcanoes and so on (and it's an achievement given the previous track record). Spent a week in the US when it was 1) our wedding anniversary 2) Fille Ainee's production of Alice in Wonderland 3) Petite Cherie's sports day. and Fille Ainee managed to break her thumb (while sitting on the grass - please don't ask we don't yet have a better story than that) 48 hours before taking off to the US. Thank God we have our LovelyWonderfulNanny to keep us sain!
Other drama in the family? CheezyHubby got one of his vans nicked a day before our family holiday in Portugal. 'they' chose not to take the second van, according to CCTV as it was full of cheese. Still wonder whether we were saved thanks to the smell!! (Van was found a month later, gutted of all its inside, including the fridge. nice job guys - thanks NOT).
Anyway - enough of all this - girls are going back to school on Tuesday. Can't wait (well - both them and me!!) let's hope for a bit of normality... the ever increasing long list of stuff to do before Tuesday is now crossed.
All that is left now is the nightmares the girls will have on Monday evening (the teacher has turned into a witch and made us eat slugs in biology lesson; the head decided to support Chelsea; Could not find the classroom; had forgotten the uniform). While I'll be having nightmare that although the list is crossed (3 pages of), i'll wake up on Tuesday morning, and either the car will break down, flat tyre or similar (as if i know how to fix it!) or a uniform will be stained / torn/missing.. you wait - mummy were are my shoes? i can't find my dress? what do I wear? oh well, i think we should all go on Prozac!

Anyway - hopefully more news soon!!
