Hens and other things

Anna and Katie

This weekend we went to Kath's Hens lunch. By we I meant Jo and I. Levi was excluded by virtue of his sex and went to Mim's to play with her nephew. We had a few drinks, learned how to belly dance and took some bath bombs home. It was actually a lot of fun and not as bad as my mind had played out. I think that I am always nervous about fancy lunches and dinners. Levi got to use the bath bombs the last two nights and he has come out smelling like a rose (literally) and very soft. It is a pity to waste them on a five year old, but the only bath we have in the house is the laundry tub. I'm thinking even Levi will be too big for that in only about a year.

I had Monday off as well and was given the most incredible gift of all. Levi slept in. He slept in on a day when I could also sleep in. Amazing! Normally he only sleeps in on days that I have to go to work and so I have to drag him out of bed. Then on days that I can actually sleep in, Levi gets up before dawn has even cracked the horizon. So it is a gift to have him sleep in when I can as well. We did almost nothing until about noon. We played with Lego and played board games. We read books. Pretty much it was relaxing.

Then I had to have a Mammogram, so he went to play with friends. At one point a lady looked at me and said "You are denser than last year". I said "I know, it's a sign of age, but what about the mammogram?" At least she had the grace to laugh.
