My wanker friends in Chicago called me at 3:00 a.m. on their Christ-day eve, my Christ-day morning. Talk about a rude awakening. They were drunk and awful loud.
We had to be down the in-laws at 8. We wanted our 3yo to open what we bought her at home so we actually set an alarm for 6.15 and started thumping about to wake her up. Just like a normal work day.
Stayed at my parents last night with my sister and her 3 kids.
Lots of activity so we didn't get her down last night until 11.30
Up again at 6.15 today.
Might an another hours kip on the coach to Chelsea if I'm very lucky... wife is still in bed. And will be until I leave .
My son woke up the whole house at 7.00 yesterday morning.
After arriving from London, where he now lives on Christmas Eve, he went out with some friends, had a few drinks, got home late, left his phone in the bathroom and his regular weekday alarm went off on mega loud setting.
