So we all enjoy a wedding, in fact we love a wedding. The sheer love an happiness makes for a beautiful day every time. I get so excited and look forward to it so much.... The the morning of the wedding arrives, suddenly i remember I have 3 children to get ready and myself.... two girls to do their hair and little 1 year old... well this will be fun, not stressful at all are my thoughts.
Luckily the girls are at the age where they are now quite independent being 5 and 6, so I only really need to do their hair, but this day of all days my little boy was clinging to me, he would not leave me alone even when his dad tried to take him away... i then had to hear him screaming for me whilst I was trying to get ready - doe this effect anyone else? I literally find it the most stressful thing EVER!
So we are ready, we set off, (just over an hour to get there) so the notorious 'are we there yet', the boy crying and screaming (he hates car journeys) gosh how I wish we could just teleport there....
But alas, we made it and with 15 minutes to spare! However there was an infestation of WASPs, oh no my fear was out in full force, and I'm meant to be brave in front of my children so they aren't scared? IMPOSSIBLE, but I tried my hardest and was actually surprisingly brave at points!
A stunning ceremony, then onto the reception after some time for photos, oh gosh the sit down meal and the 1 year old boy - well this should be interesting. He is tired, he's not napped form the excitement of the day.... Yes of course I ended up pacing about with him.... oh the fun to this point.
So my partner was drinking, I was driving and looking after the kids..... is it this way for all of you mums I wonder? There was actual ALOT of free booze, so my partner was erm..... past tipsy! By 10pm I decided enough was enough, it was time to go home..... baby boy asleep, girls tired, partner....well intoxicated and over an hours drive ahead.... lets go.
Get to the car and the key doesn't work.... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? ok I will put it in the lock and open it normally, i do this and open the door, no interior light comes on... i start to panic. Key in the engine, NOTHING and whole lot of NOTHING. GREAT! tired girls, sleeping baby, I'm freezing and an annoyingly drunk man saying 'Hurry Up' not understanding that the car won't start.....
Luckily i found a mechanic, he jump started the car and boom we could go (after about 45 minutes), when the car was jump started, guess what the lights were on..... my partner 'Oh yeah i put them on when i came back to the car early, I must of forgotten to turn them off'
Wow what a day, a beautiful wedding, with evil WASPs, a fun reception and a broken down car...... some highs of the day and some lows, but you know what - I wouldn't change my kids for the world, how perfect they are they make me stronger every day, they make me proud every day and I love them all dearly.
