The first on the way there, they had pulled someone over so you needed to go onto the other side of the road to get past - there was a long que of traffic and I couldn't see, but when I got to the front I saw there was traffic coming the other way so I slammed the brake on, and then had to manouvere myself a bit to make sure I'd left a big enough gap - right next to the police car.
On the way back was much more anxiety inducing as I had a car following me the whole way home. At first I thought I was going to get pulled over but after I kept checking the mirror, he wasn't flashing his lights or anything so I just assumed he wasn't following me for a reason. Even still, I pretty much panicked throughout that whole drive. I know they're just going about doing their job, but christ, it's intimidating!

And I have no hangover... somehow.

Hehe when they ask you in a few days if they did something stupid that night you could make up anything as they would never remember what they actually did anyway ..be devious!!

I'm now in the hotel foyer about to have a buffet lunch... then 7 hours on a train, ugh.

Keren's like that all the time... I'm probably completely grey under all this hair dye.

At about midnight last night, she started crying quietly to herself - I tried my hardest to comfort her, but she wouldn't tell me what was wrong. She cried for almost four hours, and I didn't know what to do. At about 4pm this evening, she finally told me that it was because daddy hadn't phoned her for ages.

As for the over active thing i think eating to much crap full of sugar and all the naughty things is part of the problem for my boys i reckon .

That's a lovely thing to say, thank you.
I sent him a message asking him to phone her. When he did, I was much more 'no nonsense' with him than I usually am. Instead of asking him to phone her more often, I said "Please give me two dates and times at the beginning of each week when you'll phone Keren, and we'll make sure we're available to talk to you." I plan to text him each weekend asking the same thing, from now onwards.As for the over active thing i think eating to much crap full of sugar and all the naughty things is part of the problem for my boys i reckon .
Probably! Although I think most kids have bags of energy - I know I used to. Now, I'm starting to feel like I need an afternoon nap most days.
