Yesterday I managed to stumble through without too much discomfort which was epic timing as it was the meeting of the Mother's day.
My Mum and Sister were coming over for dinner to meet the boyfriend's Mum and Brother for the first time as they are over from France on a visit. This was a first for me so the nerves were up a little.
The dinner was cooking away, table set all by his Mum and I went over to collect my people. Some Dutch courage was needed so into my local for a quick drink with Mum and Bobi before heading home.
Made the introductions, the alcohol came out and in true Irish style everyone immediately began talking over each other.
The dinner went down well and his Mum made a great effort even doing a gluten free dessert as my Sis is a coeliac.
There was a surprise guest in the form of the local priest which was a funny moment and for a second we thought there might be some kind of conspiracy but he was a lovely gentlemen and very easy going.
Everyone got on and bonded. The two families are very similar in some ways and I'm thrilled it all went well. There was no apocalypse, just a bit of rain.
Today I've woken to a beautiful Endo flare up. I'm currently curled up with my hot water bottle (need to get a new heatpad) and look like crap. Feel drained and my back is do achy. Shoulders, feet and of course my abdomen ate all sore. Just feel blah.
But I'm so grateful that if only for a little while I got to enjoy some normal family time.
