My Secret Diary - What to do with a really Shitty week....

Some weeks they are fun and others can be really shitty, then you have times when everything feels like a script from your favourite soap opera!

Last week felt like something straight out of some ' It could only happen to me' universe.

My boy has started in his new school, it's been a whirlwind of emotions, from excited he's starting and I have free time, to OMG I have no son, what am I doing with my life and then feeling guilt and how I miss him terribly.

The school playground feels like a jungle for mums; It’s like I'm in some version of school of mums, with the parents who are all in their clicks! I've come to the conclusion that I am definitely the inbetweener of mum's. There is not one click or category that you can sit me in!

My boy has settled, despite the incident of him sneaking his toy metal cap gun (that's looks really realistic) into school and showing his friends who let it off, resulting in a loud bang! Could only happen to me! Now each morning I feel like some bouncer, having to search his pockets and bag to make sure no toys are taken into school.

The Cap gun in question! Boys and their toys!

There is nothing worse than being that parent who gets asked to wait, so the teacher can talk to you! Then tell you what your child has been up to. At some stage we all end up being that parent for some reason or other!

It definitely was a week of hell and has been rather tough, family drama, work hell, and generally thinking most people in this world are cunts!

I've wanted nothing more than to go to bed and sleep for 36 hours!

Sensing my rather moody ways and long sighs, the other half decided we needed a mini break and what perfect way then to get use of our camper that we built ourselves from pallet wood and finds on Facebook market place.

He asked me where would you like to go? My response I don't care, find anywhere as long as I don't have to plan or think! In hindsight I don't think that was really a good idea, knowing my husband hates to spend money!

Friday comes and off we pop, heading down south until we get to Devon. The stars where brighter than ever, my son was excited to see the sun set and the star’s shine. The dog was over the moon to be on a family adventure. I was happy, miles away from drama and free to do nothing all weekend but chill out with the Family in the camper we built ourselves.

Now I think about it, I should have learnt over the years, never ask Hubby to plan anything, it doesn't really go to plan! (sorry babes) I asked him once to organise our son’s hair cut at the barbers, he decided to save money and cut his hair himself! Our poor son ended up looking like Larry in Dumb & Dumber! So when I heard "it's on the Right" I was rather shocked to see no signs, an entrance in the trees and darkness!

The enterance on the right! Doesnt look very safe!

I gasped and asked "this doesn't look like a pitch?" hubby smiled as we turned into the entrance "It's a place I found on group about free places to stay with a camper".

Fucking marvellous! He's either decided he wants to kill me or someone else will and then he will cash in the life insurance.

So as we drove into the place, the road was gravel and bumpy, trees filled around us, as we came round the car there was a few cars parked in a row!

Driving in to the car park.......

I wasn't prepared for what happened next!

A few naked bodies’ jumped up from the back seat, tits dicks and asses could be seen. I was in shock, manly at the amount of people that could fit in the back seat of the car and shag.

I was thankful in that minute that my son had fallen asleep as it was rather late!

I warned the hubby not to turn the full beams off, thankfully we must have scared them off. After the cars left in a hurry, I got out and saw this amazing sign to the car park my husband had decided we should stay in. Yes. it was a site that people clearly used to meet and fuck!

The sign!!! No Doggin

Sadly, Air bnb had nothing, pitch up we couldn't book, because it was nearly 11 pm now! We were stuck but thankfully the van had scared cars that turned into the car park away, I was becoming easily reassured and felt ok that I wouldn't have someone peeping through the windows. Plus, having the dog, she would have barked and warned us!

Half hour passed and I felt ready to settle down, I decided to squat near the van and go for a tinkle. I shit you not at what happened next! The whole car park light up!

It was like a scene from some alien film! Lights above us, gravel blowing across the ground! I jumped up, half peeing and trying to pull my pants up, to find a helicopter above my head, shining a search light on me, in a panic I ran across the car park to lead whoever away, leaving my hubby and son!

Hubby jumps out and shouts for me to run back to the van, in the confusion I forgot I had my pants half way up, so kinda trip and then stumble back to van!

Time felt like eternity was passing before they left! The helicopter kept circling and coming back round. Now worried they weren't shining the light on doggers but searching for someone, it's safe to say I didn't sleep till gone 2am, worried some scene of a horror film would happen.

The stars were beautiful and made our experience and crappy week worth it

Next morning came, the morning sun rising casted golden rays and warmth in the air. The sky shined brightly and it was beautiful.

The sunset was beautiful, the view from the camper window

I was rather pissed at Hubby; who I can reassure you won't ever be parking up in a car park again! I only forgave him because he had his punishment in the result of a nature poo he had to have!

The day we spent on the beach was incredible and the evening back home with friends, having a BBQ relieving our dramatic night of staying in a car park.

Escaping to the beach, perfect hell week escape

Not every week is as eventful as this, my life is a magnet for drama! Lesson learnt, check son's school bag, don't let Hubby who likes to save pennies, book a mini break ever again! Unless you check first where and how much?

On a positive note, it's given me an idea for a good blog! :-)

Back to the mundane glum of life, work, kids and everything else that goes in-between.

Till the next instalment of Lilly's Diary.
