Lily and Mummy went into town today. We set out on an adventure to pick up 2 small parcels from the Post Office, and a Hair Wash for Lily. Pretty simple, hey? Short and sweet.
Having randomly stroked a dog on arrival to town, Mummy explained to Lily (again), that we need to ask the owners before we stroke dogs, in case they bite. Lily finally seemed to grasp the concept... in a "challenge accepted" way. Apparently this meant we had to speak to everyone we saw who had a dog, no one with mutt in tow or being towed by mutt escaped the lovely lass.
It was pretty hard to miss my gorgeous girl today. She was the one wearing a bright sun hat, and pink sunglasses.
In the rain.
As for the "just picking up a couple of parcels from the post office" theory... that never works with Mummy. We got a few little bits from the charity shops (Lily even picked out something for Pixie), and had great fun on getting home, unpacking them... and the parcels of course... and a computer...
Mummy also ordered things so she can start up her Second Life music again. Bring on the mixer and microphone...
yep... just the post office.
(also having ordered the toasty cheese sandwich, the cheese was "da wong cheese, Mummy. It all long and melty") (I did tell her!)

Wibble Wobble
"When it come out, Mummy?" (Soon...)
"Is fat a long time?" (probably not...)
"How long is it?" (I don't know...)
"Mummy, LOOK! It coming out?" *poke tooth into odd angle... watch Mummy turn a little green*
"How many sleeps til it come out, Mummy?" (I don't know...)
"Is toof fairy gonna come? Him leaf me chocolate coin?" (It's usually a real coin...)
"Will it hurt?" (no, love...)
"How long it hurt for?" (it won't...)
"It hurt for fee minutes?!?" (are we even in the same conversation?)
"I don't want it to hurt!" (That's good because I already said it won't!)
"I ring Ranny n tell her bout my toof?" (okay...)
*Mummy dials and hands Lily the phone*
"My toof coming out! It gonna hurt fee minute! I don't want it hurt fee minute!!!" *Mummy face palms*
*pause*
"Mummy said so." (wait... what?!?)
*cue Mummy explaining to granny what was actually said.. *
"LOOK!!!" *poke tooth out again, this time in front of a mirror. Now there's two odd angled teeth to make mummy green with*
"Ranny said it won't hurt" (that's right...)
"Why you tell me it hurt?" (I didn't...)
"Yew did! yew said fee minutes!"
*Lily runs to check mirror and completely ignores Mummy's reply to this..just as well really*
Lily's first wobbly tooth. A whole weekend of fun conversations like this one!
The tooth miraculously disappeared Monday evening, (we think she ate it), Mummy's friends brains work a lot faster than Mummy's. By the time I got through the "oh crap! She's going to freak out about this..." moment and onto the "okay.. lets fix it before it starts.." and just before the "how do I actually fix this?" thoughts they had already told her the tooth fairy must have really needed it quickly!
Luckily the tooth fairy didn't forget to put a dragon pound under her pillow... which she paraded at school today.
She's also been opening her mouth really wide to show everyone her new gap. Yes I mean literally everyone. She doesn't have to know them. It's been great fun watching the reactions of people thinking this bounding. muttering, dribbling (its hard to talk with your mouth open) speedy child is going to bite them.

Are We Nearly There Yet?
It is official. Lily, Pixie, and Mummy have the best friends in the world. Everyone should have friends like these. The type that feel more like a family.. with all its dysfunctional quirks that you wouldn't want to change for the world (I serve up more than my fair share of randomness, too!)
I mentioned in a previous post how Mummy is very very much like Lily. We sometimes do things in reverse. If Lily has enough warning of a change, she can get quite excited about it, and all the craziness explodes into our worlds about 2 weeks after the change has occured (that's her usual settle period, anyway). Mummy, on the other hand, with enough warning, really gets her knickers in a twist. Our current moving house is no exception. There were tears, there were tantrums, there were all nighters and there was no light at the end of the tunnel.
That was just Mummy.
No one was spared the wrath of the stressed Mummy. Family, friends, strangers... I really have been an absolute... personage of Doom. (This really isn't an exaggeration. if I were my friend, I'd have smacked myself!)
They say you can't choose your family, but you can choose your friends, and thank goodness mine have been able to deal with me of late. Without them we wouldn't have made it to the new house. I'd still be surrounded by half packed boxes and drowning in a mountain of stress (half of which is unwarranted but created by my brain as some form of torture)
Lily is very very happy with her new bedroom, the one room in the new house that's sorted! (Though the larder's looking done too, priorities are in order!) We had a tough and emotional time of it yesterday evening, there was no order to anything, but today she has her bedroom, and she obviously feels secure because *touch wood* she's not got up tonight yet.
Her Marvel Villains and Superheroes poster is "keeping after" her again. Everything has its place. A room she's in control of.
There's no phone line, but there's internet, so she has stampycat youtube to watch.
All in all, Lily's a pretty happy bunny tonight!
