First of all an apology to you, my adoring fans, I know reading this blog is the highlight of your days. You sit down at the computer with your coffee/tea/wine/beer expecting to read the hilarious/poignant/fascinating antics of the Harrison-Goldin household and you get...nothing for wees and weeks. Well, I am sorry that the light of your dark days has been so quiet the last few months. What can I say, its a big responsibility being the entertainment for so many and I cracked under the pressure. I could no longer handle the attention, so like any good celebrity, I went into rehab for a month to recover from the prying eyes. Ha ha ha. Ok, so I have not been living the celebrity lifestyle. I have been busy mothering, wifing, cleaning, packing, scheming, organising, decorating, cooking, traveling, buying, selling, drinking coffee, and not sleeping. Whew. Its hard work just thinking about it. Obviously a blow by blow recap is too much when its Christmas eve and I am supposed to be cleaning for Kevin's family. However, here are some highlights: -Planned a surprise trip for Kevin to Barcelona for his 30th. He was so surprised, it was great. Barcelona is AMAZING. Ellis loved it and picks are available here. -Ellis' treatment with the osteopath has really helped. He is much more settled, sleeping better, and generally a happier wee fella. YEAH! - Been trying desperately to make room for all of the people and presents that are arriving by the day. Dearest sister, your gift to Ellis has arrived and its bigger than the living room, plus took 4 hours to put together. Welcome to parenthood, huh? -Went out on a work Christmas do, got to drink and chat and had a lovely time. I almost didn't go after having trauma with what to wear. I always thought I wouldn't be one of THOSE women who didn't fit in their clothes almost a year on...the joke is on me. However, by the end of the night I am sure no one noticed as they would've been blinded by the fact I'd gone up 2 or 3 bra sizes! I am sure there are other highlights, but panic is setting in about getting ready for the visitors. So gotta go!
