For the start of our week on Monday and I stayed at home with the boys, baked muffins and in the afternoon I went to work for staff meeting while Bruce was still in Texas. We were due to pick him up at the airport later that night. I did a little cleaning around the house, returned some emails. Organized my inbox. Darcy needed a sitter, so the boys and I went over.
The boys and I got to Darcy’s at 6.00, the boys all played inside and out, then put a movie on and Jeremy got home around 9.00. Bruce changed his flight not getting in until 1.30. Boys and I went home to bed, woke up at 12.40, woke the kids and in the car, picked Bruce up from the airport and back home in bed by 2.00am.
Conner asked an interesting question today. Mum, what if dad gets asked to move there for work, what would you say? The back story on that is on the weekend, which I forgot to mention (bad blogger) that at the dinner table on Saturday night we had a discussion about whether or not the boys would want to move, if it came up. Bruce and I been chatting about the possibility for a little while, just throwing it out there.
On Tuesday I had a little sleep in, got to work at 9.00 which was nice, got through some loose ends, Paula is feeling productive at the moment so I got some progress with some business things that she hasn’t wanted to deal with which was great from my task list.
Millie dropped Chewy off for the boys to play with for the day.
Interviewed someone at 4.45 so I was at work all day. Andrea dropped me off at around 5.30, the boys went off to the park (by themselves) for the 1st time, they got back 30 mins later and I think were happy for the independence. I got home as usual, we proceeded to do the usual had some dinner, then chilled out, Bruce went off for his weekly meeting with Paula and the boys and I did the usual, reading and bed etc.
We got word on Thursday night that Peter wasn’t doing as well as we thought so we started making plans to come home, organizing work and the kids school work and trying to see what might happen while we are away and also trying to get accommodation etc when we get home.
Our Friday was busy but a good one. I went off to work and the boys did the usual for their last day of holidays, some homework, they vacuumed the house for me. Bruce came and picked me up and we took the boys to McDonalds for lunch to say thanks for being so great over the holidays. I finished up my work; I think I got everything covered for while I am away. I met with who I needed to and notified whom I needed to and I will take my laptop so I can check email and keep in contact, and then we went to lunch. I tied up some loose ends for the rest of the day and then we went over to Paula’s for a PMD movie afternoon. We watched a DVD called “The Secret”, a recommendation from Bruce. It was (if you are open to it) a very uplifting DVD. Paula and I were inspired, the other girls, I’m not sure. Once it was over we all dispersed pretty quick, picking up kids, getting back to the office.
I went home with a very uplifted attitude (which made my husband very happy) we spent the rest of the evening organizing the next couple of weeks. The boys went off to bed after we finished watching a movie around 9.30pm.
Our Saturday was the usual, with the boys and their basketball. We spent the morning around the house, I cleaned, Bruce got ready for his day trip to LA on Sunday and the boys chilled out. I got most of the house done which is a relief, you can’t come home to a dirty house, that would just freak me out.
