Yesterday we received a wedding invitation in the mail - the last of the husband's cousins.

It's in October and even though there are two ceremonies (one Catholic and one Greek Othodox), both ceremonies at the different churches and the reception are just 10 minute drive down the road.

However it was to my disappointment to find that my parents will be away on holidays

- so it was looking like we couldn't go .... because who would look after three active children.

My MIL and SIL are also going to the wedding - so they also couldn't look after my cherebs.

Then we thought my mum's friend - who is an ex-nun and who used to work at a childrens home (so she knows how to take care of children). 

OK, we may be able to go.

Ahhh NO, because she has a job which starts at 4.30am in the morning and so she can't stay up late - so that rules her out.

Then there is another friend of my mothers - who is an ex nurse with grown children.

But to look after three children is a hard ask.

So OK - we can't go (sigh).

But then a friend gave us the idea to split them up - so they have sleep overs at their friends houses.

OK it's back on.

But working out 'WHO' is tough as the children have never had sleep overs before and who can you trust these days.

So, maybe we shouldn't go.

But then....

my parents decided to come back from holiday a day early which enables them

to look after the children and so we can go to the wedding (whoooooooooo hooooooooo).

We're going to a wedding!!!!

We owe my parents big time.
