Things you just have to do

The Christmas pageant was last Saturday and we attended. We caught the bus at 7.45AM, manoeuvred ourselves on the bus with a pram, found a great spot, found Susy, Mum and the kids and sat down to a really long pageant. We had a few hiccups. I had to tell a bunch of people to sit down, which was annoying. There must have been something wrong with their eyes because they were right up the front, literally. Alicia had to go to the toilet luckily before the pageant started. We almost didn't make it into the toilet because the cleaner wanted to clean the toilets. Hello, 2 year old wanting toilet, you can't stand in the way. Ewan needed to go to the toilet, almost missing Father Christmas. If he had missed him, it would have been the 3rd time in 4 years. Luckily he held on, just. We also had a small problem with getting the bus home. We had no idea where it was going to pick us up from. Long story but they changed the bus route because of the pageant and then recommenced it again, but we weren't exactly sure at what time the change back was going to occur. Needless to say we got home about 1.45PM where I proceeded to take my headache tablets and go to sleep for 2 hours.

At least the rest of my birthday day was good. Though in saying that, stay tuned for next years pageant because I will guarantee we will do it all over again. Stupids.
