All dressed up and no ? to go…

Okay. Anyone paying attention may remember my discontent about coming home from a weekend away in CanberraBabylon last December and finding out that I’ve been turned into a character in the World of Warcraft. Now, I’ve never been one for computer games… never got the habit of them really, probably something to do with the fact that the whole computer game genre was in it’s infancy when I was a teenager, and Space Invaders and Pong didn’t thrill me at all.

So apart from a short lived fling with Caesar III, I’ve never really gotten into them. From what I understand though, the World of Warcraft is an all encompassing nightmare of a game. I know people who’ve quit their jobs so they can stay home and play WoW. I’ve seen people at parties go and hide in back rooms so they don’t miss their scheduled ‘raids’ in WoWc. I even met one guy who chose to leave his wife rather than quit the WoW. So far, Mr K and Angel seem to be taking a moderate approach… read: it’s not been too difficult to drag Angel away to eat his dinner! I’m hoping that this remains the case, as I am not particularly keen to end up playing the b!tch and forbidding the little guy from playing altogether.

I was kinda hoping they’d get over it, and delete me. But that hasn’t happened, in fact, now I’m a level 37 elf thing, with a tiger and a wolf (though what I’d want those for I don’t know). And… apparently (got sent this from the back room by MSN FTP last night) I have a new sexy pink frock 😐 Yes… Angel wanted to get Mommy a pink frock to run around the WoW in… he’s so sweet. 😐

I dont know where he comes up with this stuff….

Small Child:   I hate this
Mom:               Hate what?
Small Child:   This Day
Mom:               Why?
Small Child:   Cos it’s evil.

It’s over again for one more year!

Christmas is done man! Angel woke me up at 5.21am (exactly) to tell me that Santa had been and he wanted to show off his loot. Cute, but 5:21am!!! Give me a break. So then spent the next three hours waiting around for the rest of the family to come over and rip through the small mountain of pressies under the tree. We had two adults and two kids less this year, yet the pile of presents seemed even worse than last year!

Mr K loved the cufflinks we bought for him at Parliament House – Thanks SirPhil for taking me on fly by visit of the gift shop! Angel was spoilt rotten with a new bicycle, some games and more new Lego than you can poke a stick at and my Mum loved the gifts from my Dad that I spent 5 hours shopping for on his behalf – thank God!!! Champagne breakfast was relaxed and groovy, and then we went to lunch at Oxley so Angel could see his Granny and the rest of the family. It’s so hot over there! More spoiling of small child, including more Lego! And then lunch (sans corriander for a change!) complete with crackers – then back to Grandma and Poppa’s place for drinks and more nibbles before calling it a day. Sigh.

Came home, spent a few hours cleaning up, chatted on line with MD in Budapest for a couple of hours and am now Stuffed with a capital “S”. Am so glad we now have 12 months to recover until we have to do it all again next year !!!

Oh I nearly forgot! I scored 18 packets of Fruit Tingles this year – it’s a new record! 🙂

Part II

When I found him, I cried a bit and tried to explain to him why I was upset, and then couldn’t stop crying. I’ve been working so hard trying to ignore my IVF baggage for the last few months, and now it is back in the front of my head. It’s keeping me awake and I am crying while I sit here and write this. What am I going to do? I never cared how old I am, but not it’s like I am so depressed about turning 35 all of a sudden, it feels like the beginning of the end – that is honestly how it feels. I just don’t know what I am going to do.

Not fun.

I’m not having a fun morning. Surly dropped that mirror over here, and then Big Sal and the girls turned up … and then Angel disappeared. He just disappeared. Last I saw he was in the driveway with that flaming hoover toy, and then I turned around and he was gone. I was calling his name, went next door looking for him, and he wasn’t there. Couldn’t find him anywhere. Big Sal, Surly and I were walking in and around the house and up the street calling his name. Little bugger was hiding under the covers in his bed, as a joke for Fishy-Bob. Scared the crap out of me, because I thought he was outside and had gone up the street….

When I eventually found him, I got so upset. Massive overreaction on my part, and I realise for the last 5 and a half years not a minute has gone by where I haven’t known where he was or with whom. His whereabouts are always at the back of my consciousness and it was really freaky not knowing where he was.

Not fun.
