IT CAME! IT FINALLY CAME!
Finally have my packet from Disney :)
The best bit of post I have received all year! Its so shiny and pretty!
Literally jumped on the spot when I saw it this morning...Sam was like...erm..Claire, its just post...! Hell no its not! I've been waiting for this for aaaaages!
So glad I didn't see it last night otherwise I'd have been up for hours with it!
But its headed with a little picture of Mickey next to my address...its so cool!
Today has got to be probably the hardest day Ive had in a while..
My mother decided it was probably about the right time to visit me and see where I work...for the first time...been there 2 years and pretty much all of my family have been...says something no?
I'm stood behind the bar, doing all my bits and bobs and all I can hear is her going on and on, always talking, never a moments silence.
Now I know where I get it from but I hope I'm not THAT extreme, to the point where my company looks bored at me droning on about complete nonsense!
Ben's said its a good quality to have and he likes that I talk alot, but come on..sometimes I wonder if hes like oh Claire, just please shut up! wouldn't surprise me really! there are times when hes had to shut me up! :) probably like right now...I'm rambling..
My point is, to have someone who's relationship with you is more than strained, break down in tears on you when you say goodbye, is quite a tough thing to handle. I'm not the best when it comes to family emotion...I don't know why that is..I usually just freeze and make some sort of pathetic, unneeded comment which doesn't help the situation, but I literally just stood there and hugged her and told her not to cry...how weak is that? that I didn't know what to say to comfort my own mother..
I think she's realising that actually the way shes acted is not right and the consequence is that her own kids are distanced so much from her, they don't really make the effort and want to see her...wow that sounds awful on my part.
Ive never asked for anything from my mother..well from like the age of 14 maybe 15, because I knew I wouldn't get it. not in a spoilt brat kinda way. But in the my mother doesn't really contribute now that my parents are divorced way, so I stopped asking.
but for her to give me money towards America, literally left me speechless..I would never have expected that in a million years..I'm still shell shocked.
I'm guessing she's realised and is attempting to make up for lost time?
I go to Disneyland Paris on Monday! I'm SO excited! Its a trip for Sam, my flatmates, birthday and her Christmas present and a kind of last big thing that we'll do together before I leave. We both need a break...defiantly long overdue and I'm so excited that its just me and her!
Yeah its gonna be cold but come on...its DISNEY!
I was thinking...how bittersweet would it have been if I didn't get this job with Disney?! I'd have literally wanted to die whilst I was there! but this makes it so amazing!
I'll be able to say Ive been to Disney twice in 2 months and 2 different locations!
But every holiday never comes without its bumps...Tom booked my flights but booked depart Tuesday and come back Wednesday, when Ive booked everything for Monday come back Wednesday! Doh!
Never leave vital details like that to a man! :)
I asked him to do it in the first place because I so would have done it completely wrong! So glad its not my fault! But got it all sorted and we are flying from London Luton on Monday now! Cannot wait!
I so so so sooo hope we do not get any snow blizzards to the extreme of the past few weeks like up north has seen! touch wood!
