From January 20th.....

SORRY IT'S SOOOO LATE.......BIG WEEKEND, AND YOU HAVE TO BE NEAR A COMPUTER TO POST THE BLOG.... GO FIGURE!!! Saturday Another weekend started as they all did. We got up and did breakfast then around 10.00 we were out of the house to Jamieson’s basketball game. They met their match today, the other team shot really well, and our big kid Julian was sick. They lost, which was a good experience for them. We got home and had some lunch and I cleaned the house, then off to the basketball again. Conner’s team played a great game and the only difference was that the other team shot the lights out and Conner’s team didn’t. Which has been a problem all season, but they did play really well. We got home and had a quiet dinner, the boys watched a movie and Bruce and I did our usual. Bruce caught up with some work and I tried to catch up on some emails etc. It was a nice quiet night at home. Sunday Bruce went to Billy Bounce at around 8.30 and the boys and I just chilled out around the house for the morning. Paula called to see if the boys wanted to go over for a play. So her and her boys swung by after Billy Bounce and picked up the boys to go over to her place for play. I took the opportunity to actually wash and dry my hair properly. Small things, usually I have to have it all done in 30 mins so it was really nice to be able to take me time and have no interruptions. Bruce had to stay at Billy Bounce for all 3 sessions cause Billy B actually visited today so it was a good day for everyone. I picked them up around 1.30 and left around 2.30 for a quiet afternoon. Bruce took the boys out for a bike ride to the park, which they really enjoyed, then we just had a quiet night at home. Monday The boys went off to School this morning, but no work for me today, not a lot on so I decided to spend the time doing Hultgren stuff instead. It’s GST time, as you all know, so that’s what I did. After trying to tidy Bruce’s office, as much as you can. So I spent most of the day getting back into the financials again. Fun, not! The boys came home from school and Millie and Lexie came over for a visit, which was nice for a catch up. The kids always have a ball and play together really well. Jamieson had basketball practice, and I went to get groceries. I picked them up and we went home and had our usual hot chicken for dinner on grocery night. Spoke to Elise on messenger, we figured out how to use the microphone so she could hear me, which was nice for them, not for me. Tuesday We woke up to a big day for us today. I was off to a little foothills town called Sutter Creek for the day with Paula. We dropped the kids off at school then off to the office before leaving. I spent the day meeting new people/clients and getting to know what needs to be done for the transition. The boys had a great day at school, and then got to go to the Charles’ after school, as Bruce had to go into his office for a 3pm meeting. Then Conner, who was suppose to go Math Club then to Charles’ but forgot and waited out the front til Kristin came to get him. I called Bruce when I got back and the boys were staying at the Charles’ for dinner. Paula dropped me at home, the boys got back not long after and then they changed and Bruce & Conner went off to his basketball practice and Jamieson and I stayed at home and did homework and showers etc. They got home and the boys went off to school and Bruce and I sat out in the lounge at the laptops and he worked and I chatted with Rhys and did some more figures. Gee, we’re so exciting aren’t you all jealous. Wednesday Dropped the kids off at school then Bruce dropped me off at work before heading to a meeting at a school. I sat at the desk for most of the day, which was good considering, wasn’t feeling that crash hot. The girls had some lunch and I actually laid down on the floor. (It was clean) We had our afternoon meetings then I went home. I decided to have a shower cause I was feeling blah!! I got out and couldn’t stand up. Bit scary!!! My whole body felt like lead, I think Bruce was a bit scared too. He put me into bed and I slept for the next couple of hours. They had some dinner and did homework. Off to bed for everyone fairly early, I was feeling better but still blah!!! I’m fluey; which hopefully I should be over tomorrow. Thursday Happy Australia Day (In Australia) Another day started with me not being able to get out of bed, so I just slept. Bruce got the kids off to school and then back home to get his work done. I woke up late morning and spent the day in bed. After lunch Bruce bought my laptop into the bedroom and I did some email stuff and a little work. I chatted with Pete on messenger. The boys came home from school and did their homework and then played some PS2. Bruce did some work and I chilled out in bed. Friday Everyone was up and around this morning, me a little slower than usual but I got up and went off to work. The boys had a good day; the end of the week is always a good day for them. I got some work done, not at the pace that I would usually get it done but most of it got done. It was a little frustrating not going at the usual pace, but I got over it, and the girls just laughed at me in my frustration. Jamieson went to Nolan’s house for a play after school and then Conner’s friend Elliott came over for a sleepover. We had some dinner and they watched a couple of movies. Paula came over for dinner and chats and was out of here by around 10.30. We went off to bed at around 11.00 listening to the giggles coming from the lounge room. Another busy week, and busier weekend (which you will find out about next week), sorry!!! Apologies for the lateness of the posting, I can honestly say we weren’t really home at all, all weekend. I hope you are all well, and you enjoyed the tennis.
