I went to a family get together today, in Leicester. Car journeys always exhaust me and yesterday for some inexplicable reason I went to bed at 1 in the morning. I do not function well under those conditions.
But the family meeting up thing was fun! I met all my little grandneices again. Yup, that's right, I do have grandnieces. Which means I have nephews and nieces who are well into their twenties. Yup, that's right again. It is very, very strange when they call me Aunt.
This is Cousin 1 with the newest addition to our family. 9 month old grandniece 1. She has to be the quietest baby I have ever met. She slept and then didn't mind being passed from person to person. Then she pooped and slept some more. If all babaies were like that, I might actually consider having one.
This is grandniece 2 who at 3 years, is the stubbornest child I have ever met. And she was in love with my phone. Seriously. It was treading on thin ice for a while. The phone, I mean. But then she got bored.
And then this is my Dad with grandniece 1's older sister, who has to be the most intelligent 3 year old I have met. I actually had a conversation with her that didn't bore me silly. Who knew there could be so many miracles in one day?
And then we came home. And the traffic was soooo bad. Usually it takes about 1 hour 30 mins. It took slightly more than 3 hours. I am in a strange mood right now. And tomorrow I am going to the Doctor because my health is also going down the toilet. Well, let's hope I am just being melodramatic like usual. If there is actually something wrong, I will freak.
Live long and prosper!
