Oh Dear ~ Oh Dear ~ Oh Dear....

I now have total confirmation about my sanity......sorry that should read my LACK of sanity!
If there were any doubts that I am slowly going (sorry that should read 'being DRIVEN') MAD ~ then today I received the biggest sign yet ~ THAT I AM TOTALLY MAD!!!!

It happened this morning ~ a normal morning ~ doing normal things ...............

We arrived at school and Laurens boyfriends Dad (are you keeping up????) gave me a card and present from Laurens little boyfriend (Branden) ~ which caused a bit of a problem!!
Lauren had bought and written out a card for Branden ~ but she had not had time to get him a present ~ so she was upset that she had nothing to give back to him......
SO ~ being the lovely Mother that I am (ha ha !) ~ I shot on over to Asda Walmart and bought her some little bits and pieces for him!

That was a whole story in itself ~ do you have any idea how hard it is to find something for valentines for a 7 year old boy!! There were chocolates with 'Hot lover' on them and teddies with 'Best Lover' and 'Sexy'.........UM ~ yeah ~ like that is what I want my 7 year old to give to her valentine!!!!!!!!!

So, I had to settle on a sweet little brown bear that had 'Hug Me' on a heart ~ a box of Maltesers (yes ~ that is not very imaginative of me ha ha !) and a heart shaped chocolate lolly!! I managed to get a gift bag with red hearts all over it and a gift tag and a red bow with black hearts ~ when it was all done up it looked great.

Being on a time limit ~ I had to get back in time for one of the Childminding children to be dropped off at 11am ~ I then raced back to the carpark and to my car. I stood and pressed the fob ~ and heard the familiar noise of the doors unlocking ~ but when I tried the door it was still locked. Puzzled by this ~ I tried the fob again ~ but the doors would still not open. I walked around the other side of the car and tried again ~ nope ~ still nothing........
Then ~ I decided that I would have to open the car with the key at the drivers side ~ so I walked round and tried in vain to get the key in the door ~ try as I might, it just would not fit. I was starting to get frustrated and a bit panicked as to how I would get home.......WHEN ~ I looked into the car and saw a red childs car seat.........a bit confusing as my child seat is navy blue ~ and then the penny dropped ~ it wasn't my car............it looked like my car ~ same reg year ~ same colour, model ~ even had mud splattered up the side like my car.......but it wasn't mine!!!!!

I tilted my head around the van that was parked next to said car ~ and there she was ~ MY CAR ~ sitting there ~ open and ready to go (ha ha !!!) ~ the noise that I had heard when I pressed the fob was my car opening ~ just a bit futher up in the parking bay!!

Needless to say I made a hasty retreat to my car ~ looking about to see if anyone was watching ~ and grateful that who ever owned the other car hadn't come back and found me trying to force my car key into the drivers lock!! Bahahahahahahahahahah!!!!

What the hell is happening to me people? I used to be so together ~ so with it ~ so organised and composed and just SANE!!! Now I am slowly falling apart ~ and trying to break into other peoples cars!! I used to be a Police Officer for Gods sake!!!
Am I past the point of no return at 38 years old??? What the heck will I be like in another 10 years tee hee!!!

Anyway ~ on a brighter note ~ Laurens Boyfriend was thrilled with his gifts ~ so that part had a happy ending anyway ~ will post some pictures of my little valentines girl and her gifts tomorrow!!

Just off to a friends house for some adult conversation and tea and sympathy.......just hope I can find my way home again ha ha !!! XXXX
