Morning!
How are you feeing today? LTTTC must be so hard for you, especially when you are surrounded by others for whom it seems so easy. It does seem so unfair when you've been married longer. But you've got to keep believing that it will happen fir you one day, and every second of heartache will make it that much more precious. I think you're doing really well too, to keep on trying & not give up, youre obviouslya really strong couple. You so deserve your happy ending, & I'm sure you will get it one day. I wish I could wave a magic wand & make it happen for you.
The kids left at 9:15 yest, after playing a board game, doing some crafting, and going to the park - a lot of activity for that time of the morning! Longleat was really good. Aidan (9) took a lot of interest in the animals & enjoyed all the activities, like a big maze & an adventure playground. Hannah (5) is quite whingy, she has been spoilt a lot & has kearnt at home that the way to get her way is to pretend to cry. She soon realised that didn't wok on us, but was still more moany than the boys were at her age. She was cute in between though - she kept telling me she loved me and wished she could live with me! There was an activity book to do while we went round the safari & they loved that, especially when they got a certificate at the end.
Both kids made T happy with their reaction to his car. He has a Honda Accord Type R. I don't know what the technical terms are, but the Type R bit means it has 2 exhausts, is noisy & possibly a bit more sporty than a normal accord. For years he has just used it to get to work & back, as its old & uses more petrol than mine, so Hannah has never been in it. We used it on Sat as it has working air conditioning & mine doesn't. Hannah thought it was a new car & questioned him about it on the way - T said it was a sports car so she was asking if he used it for racing! All day she was asking me why he bought it, why he wanted it & telling me how much she liked it! On the way home she asked him to "turn the noise on" & was laughing with delight as he went in a lower gear to rev the engine (on an empty dual carriage way, all v safe!) As you can imagine, T was delighted his former pride & joy was getting such a good reception! Aidan said it was the most comfy car in the world, so that went down well too! I can't believe Hannah, who is usually such a girly girl, was such a petrol head! (When we first started going out, T thought his would impress me & was disappointed to find it didnt! I'm so not into cars!)
I can't believe how hot it is! I hate the fact that I am moaning about it, but I'm too hot! Yesterday evening I was boiling! Today we might go to the beach after work if we have time. Hope we do, it would be lovely to cool off. I'm meeting my brother's girlfriend for lunch today. She arranged it - it's really nice that she wants to get to know me. They have been living together since Xmas & been together just over a year. He had a dreadful girlfriend before who made no effort with his family & wouldn't bother to come & see us ever. We all hated her, but couldn't say anything. She cheated on him & broke his heart, he's still a bit scarred by it. She was destroying his confidence while she was with him - they lived together for 2 years. Amanda, who I'm meeting today, seems like she makes him happy & she makes an effort to come & visit us & his parents. It will be nice to spend some time with just her during her lunch break. (I can do further sister analysis on her to make sure she is suitable lol!!)
T & I enjoyed the tennis yest. It was just us in the end, my dad was too tired to come over (he has long term health problems). I'm glad it was just us as we were both crying when Andy won! Apparently my Dad was too - I would have found that so embarassing if we were all crying together!
I had better go & start making myself presentable so I don't embarrass my brother! I might even straighten my hair!! I always used to straighten my hair before the sickness, but haven't been bothered for months. I've also got to pack all the beach stuff as I'll be going straight to meet T afterwards.
Hope you are feeling better & don't get too hot dancing! xxx
