Emotional See-saws.

I ended up mostly cancelling the pasta party as we were having a wee crisis last night, where my lovely daughter was struggling with her relationships next door. I lay awake for most of the night worrying about her and decided I didn't have the energy to create, clean and serve for the Mototapu masses. So we had David (No Fuss winner) to stay as planned, Josh, the ultra-fit young man who we'll give a lift to and from the event tomorrow and Shannon and See-am, Finn's school mate, so that I had some company to beat off all the bike talk with. Meg was delighted to get a bit of time with her Yoga Guru and Sam ended up staying over with Finn at Max's house. This is good for Sam AND Finn to broaden their horizons, and the very lovely Thomas phoned Finn and asked him to meet him at the A&P Show in town tomorrow. (Local Agricultural Show). I had to accept that I had blotted my social hostess copy book, just as I had actually invited people over for the first time! They were all very forgiving as it was a pretty casual affair any way as everyone has to be ready for tomorrow's race. Meg's ok, but life is not easy as a teenager! Spook will be glad to have the last of his 4 days off on Monday - a day when we will all be at school or work! I'll be hoping for more than 2 hrs sleep tonight.
