Foam, Cross Stitch, Christmas and Family Day Care

HAD an amazing night out the other day, went to a foam party on Friday night with friends we had soooo much fun!!! Granted most of us were still tipsy when we left! Was an epic night out with friends who I don't see very often anymore!
Anyways I've been doing some cross stitch lately as I've been fairly bored since the friends I used to hang out with during the day have gotten full time or casual jobs... The full time ones are hard since they're the ones working Mon-Fri and the casual jobs are even harder since they don't know when they're working and when they're not until the week has started!!! I really miss my friends especially when we used to hang out like almost every single day! But Friday was the first night in a while that it was like old times! I really miss my two best friends but what can I do? I have my beautiful daughter to look after and they have unpredictable or highly predictable jobs! So I've made these cross stitch Christmas penguins since my friends have gotten jobs during the day and they are absolutely gorgeous! I prob won't turn them into decorations ever again since that part killed me! I'll post a few pics on here too! I made them for my daughter's playgroup coordinators, I had the stuff lying around and was bored so decided to make decorations... Not the easiest idea I've ever had! And I probably won't do it again!
So with the above said about the Christmas decorations I'm thinking about Christmas it's supposed to be a relaxing and joyous time right? NOPE It's stressful trying to find presents for everyone budgeting and hoping everyone likes their present you got them! Not only that but I'm stressing more so since I'm thinking about having Christmas Eve Dinner at our place this year since my fiance's mum is overseas but I'm torn do I just have a dinner with his dad and us; his dad, sister, nieces, nephews and us OR should/could I invite friends over? I'm so torn in regards to all of this it's driving me mad! I'd love to have friends over but it's so hard to get them to come since they all have families too and they need to celebrate with them first! I don't know... I'm stuck with this going through my head and well I'll have to work it out soon! Christmas is just 21 days away!

Now to a more pressing issue, my daughter was enrolled with Family Day Care a little while back as I didn't have anyone to look after her on Mondays while I work. Instead of telling me last Monday or calling me on Tuesday they call me last minute and tell me that the lady I had looking after my daughter isn't going to be able to look after her next week?! So they will have to relocate her! I'm a little appalled by the fact that they can just up and do that to someone and not give sufficient notice Heck I'm busy during the week I can't go to another lady's house and work out if I'm happy for my daughter to stay there when I have soooo much I need to do!! It's just driving me insane and I am so absolutely over it! I'll have to call her first thing Monday morning cause clearly I can't call on a Sunday! And I'll have to hope for the best! If I'm not happy with her I'd have to call the Family Day Care people and say no thank you and I'll have to take her to work with me! Oh the troubles I've found!

Anyway I'm off to entertain my little girl as Daddy is playing video games.. Ciao
