Jesus Is My Mother O.e

I was hoovering upstairs, in one of the guest rooms, this morning.

So, naturally, I couldn't really hear anything over the noise.

The hoover itself was beside the door & I looked down at it for a second.

I can't remember why I did, but I received the biggest fright ever when my mam came in the doorway from nowhere!

I jumped a mile, shouting "Jesus Christ!!!"

Mam just said, "Ah, now! Just call me Mammy. I'm not big into formalities."

I love my mam! XD

Overreacting, But Still....!

Oh, my God! I'm actually really pissed off!!!
My good friend, J, says she got a belly button piercing. R, another good friend, says she was with her. This has been over mail on Facebook. I believe neither of them.
I really hope they're joking.
I'll fecking kill them if they're joking!
I really hate belly button piercings. They look lovely - sure, I'd have one myself if that was just it - but they can be so dangerous sometimes.
If someone hits you in the stomach, you're going to be in so much pain. There have been a few cases where belly button piercings have caused life threatening damage to the body of wearers during car accidents, from being hit by someone or getting caught in something. It's too freakin' dangerous to have no matter how "small" the chance may be of you getting hurt.
This is a good example of the small but scary risks. I've read others.

Then the even more common stuff would be the infections, though I do know not everyone gets them...

Risks

Hepatitis and HIV are the more serious, but rare, risks involved with your bellybutton piercing. More common risks include infection, thick scarring known as keloids, nerve damage and an allergic reaction to the jewelry. Bacterial endocarditis, an infection of the surface of the heart, is a risk if you have a moderate to high-risk cardiac condition, according to American Family Physician. Your body could also reject the piercing.

Side Effects

Bleeding, localized swelling, tenderness and bruising are normal side effects during the initial healing process, according to the Association of Professional Piercers. While your piercing heals, you may experience some discoloration, itching or a secretion of a white-yellow color. See your doctor if you have a foul-smelling, yellow secretion coming from your piercing or you develop a fever.

On top of all this, I'm 90% sure they're fucking with me.
They better be.
But I'm probably going to be so pissed off if they are. I don't find it funny at all.
If she isn't I don't know what I'll say. She has never, ever, mentioned wanting one before nor doe she seem like the type of girl to have one. Like, we live in Ireland, for Christs sake! When is she even going to be even showing it off, if we don't even have the weather to wear bellytops and the like???
She doesn't even wear that sort of clothes. This is way out of her character. I don't really believe it, but why joke about it? They could obviously tell I was pissed off. I've never been that well at hiding that I'm angry. Ugh! I don't know what I'm going to say Thursday!!!!

Today...!

Today, I got up at 8am and, as usual, I served breakfast to the Bed & Breakfast guests. Afterwards, I talked to some elderly guests from New Zealand.
They were lovely! Sometimes, it's sad to say goodbye to some people. I'll probably never see most of them ever again. Only a small number actually come back repeatedly.
I then proceeded to clean the an suite bedrooms upstairs with the help of the young French woman works in our B&B a few days a week. She's really nice and humorous! Her English isn't the best, but it doesn't hold her back - she could basically be a long lost family member! However, I had to go around the place after her to make suree she hadn't forgotten anything... Which she had. I hate having to tell her she did this, that and the other wrong. I feel like such a nag. She won't learn if I don't, though.
Then, after lunch, Mam made us cut up plums for the jaam she's making tomorrow (she sells some in the local shops). Three freakin' boxes! It took 2hrs 30mins to 3hrs - no exageration. I now hate plums. The jam better feckin' turn out well tomorrow!

I had two proud moments today.

The first moment was when my best friend IMed me over Skype while I was cutting plums. She fucking kicked ass in her National Tests!!! All As! I felt she could do it from the amount of work she said she was putting into it all, but it's even better that she did get the marks thaat she deserved! 300 out of 320 points... It makes me smile. I'm so bloody proud of her, you'd swear she was my own child! Haha!

The second moment was when I was just having a chat with my little sister. And, Oh my God, she's growing up! No more is she stealing her twin brothers tractors and cars for herself (she was a Tom boy - still is a bit). No. Today I was trying to get it out of her did she like a lad at school. She didn't, but she caught on to all my dirty double meanings. When I was 12, I got hardly any of the stuff she gets. I think I'm a bad influence. Haha! So, I tried to catch her out.

Me:"Okay. You like none of the lads at school... So, how about actors?"

Sister: *Turns bright red* Gale from The Hunger Games. Liam Hemsworth. He's good looking.

We now plan to marry a Hemsworth brother each. Liam for her. Chris for me!

I love to see that I can joke with this sort of stuff with her now!

The day was alright after that, not too much jobs or whatever. I got time to breath! Oh, and to drop a few jokes about Liam on my little sister. She's currently not related to me! Lmao! XD

Anyway, t'is late and I've to get up at 7am to serve breakfast tomorrow. Dad is away at work, so can't help mam in the morning.

Nighty night! :) <3



Oh Dear Lord, Mother!! XD

In the car home from town.

I take an open packet of salted peanuts from Mam.

I start to eat some.

Mam shouts: Stop eating my nuts!!!

I start coughing, half choking on them.

Mam: That's what you get! Shouldn't put my large nuts in your mouth.

My mother is cracked in the head - I love her! XD
