Thursday my eldest daughter.......aka..........our precious
daughter..........aka...........Kathy-Lee turned 30, what the hell
how did that happen, how did I become the mother of a 30 year old.
Anyway
I had a party for Kathy-Lee yesterday, there was about 16 people here
from both sides of her family, as in her side and her partner
Michael's side, as I invited his parents and brother and sister
in-law, his brother couldn't attend as he is away working.
Michael
had gone away camping but it was only 45 minutes away and after
Natasha told him off and his parents said something to him he decided
he would come back from camping to attend and the whole thing was a
surprise for Kathy.
Although
she did say at one point she had wondered why I had made so much food
and why dad (Tim) had cleaned the lounge room, and by clean I mean he
took everything and dumped it in either the spare room or his
room/office.
Everyone
seemed to have a good time and of course there was plenty of food, as
I was up at 6.30am I went for a walk and bought bread and shredded
ham they didn't have diced bacon and after returning home I made a
potato bake and a chicken and bacon pasta bake along with home made
fried rice, snags and of course bacon.
There
of course was cake this cake in fact and it tasted pretty good I
bought it from a local supermarket that does cakes so it was both
nice and affordable.
I
also managed to do 3 loads of washing and change the sheets on the
bed, vacuum the house twice, watched 2 children and go for my morning
walk. After everyone had left and I was getting sheets to remake the
bed, time says you look as bugga as I feel, I look at him and asked
him what have you done all day, he said he cleaned the lounge-room
and I asked him what have I done all day, he smiles and said
everything else.
By
then end of the day I was exhausted and I did manage to drink ¾ of a
bottle of wine.

Happy belated birthday to your daughter! I am just as shocked to have a 40 year old son--LOL! Looks like it was a good party! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah one moment we are the parents of a baby and the next we are parents of middle aged people thankfully I am not there yet but I bet it will happen too damn fast
DeleteHappy 30th birthday to your wonderful eldest daughter Kathy-Lee. That cake is a hoot, Jo-Anne!
ReplyDeleteYeah the cake got a few giggles "what the hell" is something I say a lot lately
DeleteI know that shock of having a child in their 30's. I was even MORE shocked when my eldest turned 40! GASP! Happy Birthday to Kathy Lee and I would love to have partaken of that birthday feast.
ReplyDeleteYes they grow up and older so damn fast
DeleteSounds like a nice birthday party you gave your daughter...years just do fly by!
ReplyDeleteYes they do indeed and it was a nice day
DeleteSuch fantastic pictures. I can relate to how you feel. My son moved out yesterday to begin his military career. Yikes! Where did the time go?
ReplyDeleteThe time does go by so fast
DeleteTell me about it. My sister's daughter just turned 31 and HER son will be three soon.
ReplyDeleteNo WONDER I look like the Cryptkeeper.
On the bright side, MY kids are both old enough to buy their own booze.
Still...where did my youth go?
I know what you are talking about none of my girls drink mum so when they buy their own grog it isn't much and it isn't often
DeleteI KNOW why you are now the Mom of a thirty year old. Radiation you pick up from your trips to New Zealand. It is a diabolical plan on their part to age the Australian population so they can take over the continent! BWA-HA-HA!!
ReplyDeleteYeah there are a lot of Kiwi's here in this country why because it is a bloody great country
