The Unpredictable Anna

Only 3 days to go until Sally and Ben's wedding.

Only 3 days to go until Anna is a bridesmaid.

Only 3 days to go until all eyes from the wedding congregation gaze at Anna lovingly for 2 seconds... before realising, in horror, that the monkey has decided to start dead-heading all the roses in her bouquet, ripping the flowers out of her hair, refusing to hold Niamh's (the other bridesmaid) hand, is sprinting down the aisle, pushing poor Sally out of the way, launching into her own rendition of 'Poker Face' by Lady Gaga (Anna worryingly likes Lady Gaga a lot) while wiggling her hips and bowing to the congregation before running out of the room in order to go and terrorise the other guests in the hotel who were just looking for a peaceful Sunday afternoon while Anna tells them to 'curtsy to the pretty princess.'

(James has been asked to video the wedding so will be busy elsewhere while I am willing Anna to go in the right direction. Very handy for him! I have a feeling he volunteered to get out of the Anna duties as I am forced to go hurtling up the aisle to stop Anna from all of the described above!)

Only 3 days to go until the nightmares and waking up in a cold sweat will stop (to be replaced by the nightmare becoming reality)!

Only 3 days to go until her Mummy has a nervous breakdown.

Only 4 days to go until I am on holiday for a whole week, re-cooperating and recovering from the trauma that will be Anna as a bridesmaid!

(Of course, Anna might be an angel on Sunday and be the perfect bridesmaid with everyone cooing and adoring her! She really can be when she wants to be. Unfortunately, the angel doesn't always seem to appear when you most want it to!)

At 2pm on Sunday, cross your fingers very tight and wish as hard you can for me! I may need it... followed closely by a large drink!
