Feeling sad and blue :-(

Mr Messy and Drama Teen arrived back home in the small hours of the morning - me and Little Miss Sensible waited up for them. So this morning when our two legged alarm clock (aka Little Prince) went off we were all tired!! After breakfast had a lovely hour or so chatting about the trip and looking at the photos. Drama Teen cannot explain why she insisted on sticking her tongue out on every single one though!!

Then it was time for Mr Messy and Drama Teen to leave again :-( This time to drop Drama Teen off at her CLAPA camp. Five hours of busy traffic later, they phoned to say she was safely at camp and Mr Messy was on his way back. Trouble is he has got a banging headache - either due to tiredness or not enough to drink during a long, hot drive or both!! Hope he can manage to drive home safely.

The Boyfriend arrived just after lunch, to spend an hour or so playing with Little Prince. But all too soon it was time for him and Little Miss Sensible to pack their bags in the car and set off for the airport, to start their backpacking trip. Little Prince was beside himself, refused to say goodbye or gives hugs or kisses - we think he figured if he refused to do that then they wouldn't be able to go!! Little Miss Sensible succumbed to tears too, deciding that Little Prince wasn't going to miss her - hopefully I managed to reassure her that the behaviour was precisely because he WOULD miss her!! Once I'd waved them off I had a cry too :-( At least I had Little Prince here to give me a hug, which was a great honour as he wanted to watch Scooby Doo.

UPDATE: Had a call from Mr Messy he has stopped at some services to have something to eat and drink and try and snooze in the car for an hour or so
to see if that gets rid of the headache. Oh dear :-(

UPDATE 2: Mr Messy arrived home at about 9.30pm, tired and still with a headache, but feeling a lot better after his snooze. Phew :-)

UPDATE: Had a call from LMS and The Boyfriend - they are safely at the airport and checked in, all they have to do now is find something to eat and wait for their flight.

UPDATE 2: Had a text from the teenage wanders to say they were safely landed in Berlin. They are being picked up by the Exchange Student's family, so I know they will be looked after. Phew :-)
