From January 13th....

Saturday Bruce and Kerry were up and out of the house to drive to LA at 2.30am. The boys and I were up and out of bed at the usual hour. Bruce called at around 8.30 to say that they were driving into LA and won’t have time to stop for breakfast. We chilled out for a little while before heading out in the car heading to John’s birthday party. Bowling, cool fun, the boys were very excited. The boys had a blast, and they bowl pretty well too, especially with the bumpers. We finished up and were home at around 1.30 for a quiet afternoon. I did the usual washing and cleaning (what else is new) and the boys played around the house. We were back out at Conner’s basketball game for a 5.30 start. They played well, didn’t win, but played ok; just don’t shoot well as a team. Bruce called at around 6.00 to say, Paula never been to Hollywood Blvd so they were off to see the sights, quickly!! We came home and had some dinner, then not long after Conner got sick, literally and went to bed. Jamieson was in bed not long later. A quiet night for me, which was really nice. Spoke to Bruce and they were on their way home, I went off to bed. Bruce got in around 3.00am. Sunday Bruce was up and off to Billy Bounce while Conner was still sick. I was at home and doing the blog and emails, kind of a catch up day. I spoke to mum and Mitch on messenger, which was great to catch up on the goings on. Otherwise it was a very quiet day for everyone and we were all in bed a very reasonable time. No school or work tomorrow Martin Luther King Jnr day. Monday We all got up a little later than usual; we all had a nice sleep in. Conner was feeling a little better but not back to normal. The boys watched a little TV, I cleaned up and did some washing. Bruce did a little work then went off to watch Ponderosa play up the road at a fundraiser for the Elk Grove food bank. Millie called arranged to come over and go out and about with me. We went out to Target and had a look around. There is lots of Valentines Day stuff (all holidays have stuff/ decorations) I chatted with Mitch on messenger and then started on dinner. We had some dinner, the boys watched Miami play the Lakers and I had a bath and pulled the TV around the corner in to bathroom and watched the Golden Globes while bathing. Very soothing. Tuesday Conner went to school but wasn’t well still, he was ok, just a bit warm, didn’t ask to stay home though. Reluctantly went to math class after school, the great thing was he went because if you miss two you get kicked out, and he didn’t want to not be able to go. How’s my big boy getting all; academic? He came home and went to bed for a sleep and then watched a movie on his DVD. Paula and the boys came over and ended up staying for dinner. Bruce called and his meeting was a dinner one so I had enough for everyone, Conner wasn’t eating, he was only having toast. I chatted to Elise on messenger, got up to date with what they have been doing and was off to bed around 10.30. Wednesday Had a house full this morning, Jackary arrived at 7.00am and then Paula dropped of the boys at around 7.15. I walked all the kids over to school then walked to work. It was a nice walk, very brisk and I shouldn’t really walk with my laptop it’s not good for the back. I picked Jamieson up from school and Conner went off to Math club. Conner got 90% on his math test today, he was really proud of himself. Bruce had a great day by all accounts, making contacts everyday. He met more contacts at LeTip (Like Rotary). You know Bruce; if they can talk he’ll find out their life story. Not a lot on for the evening, dinner, work and bed. Nothing exciting. Thursday I decided to go to work today, I’m up to date and refuse to be there unless I have enough work. Bruce worked from home this morning too. I went off to parent helping for Conner. I got home from there at around 10.00 then jumped into the car and went out to get my jury selection signed to say that I (obviously) couldn’t be there. Then spent a little while just out by myself. I was back at 1.00 so Bruce could go to the office. Jamieson and I came home from school, we did the homework thing then just spend a little time chilling out. Bruce got home from the office, we had some dinner and did some work then off to bed. It was a nice day just to have a little time to myself. Friday Bruce was at the airport and off to LA for the day at 5.00 this morning. The boys went off to school. No work again today for me. I got stuck into organizing some of the house. Packed boxes to send to home and caught up on some Hultgren work, did some angels stuff, financials etc. Bruce called from LA, he was getting a lot of stuff done, which was great. I sat down early afternoon for some lunch and didn’t get up until it was time to get the kids from school which was a nice change. After school John and Dylan came over for a play, they played and I did some baking. Paula called and arranged for us to go to her place for dinner. Kristin arrived and picked up the boys, then my boys had showers and Paula picked us up just after 6.00. Bruce called from the airport and was on standby. We got to her place and packed away her groceries and got dinner started. We sat down for some dinner and not long after Bruce arrived, he had gotten on an earlier flight. YEAY!!! The adults chilled out and the kids ended up watching a movie. We were in the car and back at home at 10.00. It was a nice early night for us. Well another week is over. We had a very good week, work wise. The boys are doing well, they had a good week at school and Conner’s math club seems to be paying off.
