It's the weekend!

Well folks, it's the weekend again, thank God! Quick post before I head off to Mag's house for a few bevvies.
This has been a good week.
*No one is sick
*No one broke any bones
*No one broke any windows
*The kids live to tell the tale for another week
*Aforementioned kids both had eye tests this week and have definately not inherited Mommy's lazy eye. Yippee!!!
*No one tailgated me
*No one pulled into a space I was indicating to go into
*I had lobster for dinner. Followed by profiteroles and rose wine.

Yes, I'd say all in all a good week! I also got the hang of our webcam so I've been bombarding my big sis Karen (she's not fat, just older than me!) with video's of the kids!! Man, remember not that long ago when we used to wait for letters in the post? Send away films from the camera and wait weeks for them to arrive? Now I can record the kids and within 5 minutes (depending on photobucket...)my sis is watching them on her screen. OK, granted, she only lives down the road from me but thats not the point. If she was in Australia it would be the same. Karen, fancy moving to Australia????!!!!! Actually, no, we'll send Seona, she never babysits.... (Kidding Seo!) Don't think she reads this anyway. Too busy faffing about on Bebo!! Seriously, we've come a long way. I was 16 before I used a computer. Our school got a few and we used to take classes. No internet though. That came later. In college. I used to sneak into U.L.'s computer library (I was in the RTC but I had "contacts" in UL wink wink!)and thats where my love of the internet started at the grand old age of 18!!! Now my 8 yr old son is showing me stuff!!! Anyone heard The Chipmunks sing. Check it out. Soooo funny! Thanks Cathal x

Posted this today on CS forum. It made me laugh out loud. Enjoy!

How many kids did our mother have anyway...?

You know what's amazing? We all swore that we would never say or do any of these things.

What is really scary though, is that we never stop and realise all the good things that we have copied from our Mom's, do we?
