Normally our girls (5 & 3) are taken to the local council run fireworks display on Fireworks night - its a big adventure, they get all wrapped up in severe winter gear and we go on the bus from the Park and Ride. However, this eyar I'm thinking of not taking them for the following reasons....AIBU
- DH is abroard with work so he isn;t here to help
- I'm 29 weeks pg
- I'm still recovering from being really ill and I'm only about 75% back to normal.
- The fireworks start at 7:30 and my girls are normally in bed by 7:15 on a school night.
- I have a friend up to stay, he had a really bad ankle break earlier in the year and is waiting on a 3rd op on it and standing around for an hour will cause him some problems even if he won't admit it.
- It has been raining horrifically hard here over the last week - floods and road closures and rail closures, the lot, (I'm in NE Scotland) and the ground is going to be incredibly wet and muddy.
- I'm up and writing this at 3am unable t sleep so I'm going to be shattered tonight...
I'd go if I could take the car, but its impossible to get anywhere near the area in the car because its so busy - if I could take the car, stand outside the car, then get back in the car and go home again, I'd go, but that simply wouldn't work - we'd not get anywhere near the area becuase of busy-ness and road closures and it would take us hours to get home because of busy-ness and road closures....
But the fireworks are really good, they like them and there is going to be a huge amount being set off in the streets tonight to keep them awake anyway....
