Weekends are the Best
I have had an amazing weekend.
Sorry for the lack of content on here for the last couple of days but that's because my life has been soooo fantastic I haven't had time to post how good it is. Now before you all go Marauuuuggghhh and vomit over that let me explain.
As the sub title of my blog states I talk about the fantastic things in my life here. SO if negative or bad stuff happens I don't dwell on it or even bother giving it credence. This is my philosophy. Bad stuff does happen to me - I just choose to ignore it or deal with it and move on. I find that way that life goes a lot smoother.
All that aside the weekend has been fantastic.
First - I came home - the plane was early and I had great presents for my kids. The last few trips I have been unable to please Jadeen with her gift. It seems she wanted what I gave her sisters or just didn't want what I gave her - Friday I bought her a $2 doll from Crazy Clarks and she loved it - I was so happy. I also got her a golden book of Tarzan. Erin got a doll also and Miranda was ecstatic to receive the latest Saddle Club magazine. Judith got a digital photography magazine. Mercedes got lots of cuddles.
Saturday I got up early (after watching tennis and footy on TV most of the night) and packed all the PCs and network gear into the car and headed off to the LAN.
We had a good crowd and a fantastic night - excellent game play and we had a good time.
Sunday we decided to stay home from church as there was no sunday school due to holidays. We had sunday school at home and once I had put all the PCS back together downloaded some sunday school material on Esther and did her story with the kids. Miranda (who has been in my sunday school class before) said to Jadeen - "he's the best sunday school teacher!"
Following that I spent 3 hours completing some business accounting in preparation for the financial year end, transferred money around and then we went out.
We went to the movies and loaded up on chocolates and lollies (special treat) and then went ad saw Shrek2. Awesome!
We were going to go out for dinner but as we hit the highway to come home we landed in Sunday night return from the coast traffic jam. We exited immediately at a highway roadside service centre with a McDonalds and a play area. Judith waited in the long line for food while the kids played and then we scooted off and took the next exit and went home and made Tacos. Judith and I then cuddled up and watched a movie together. I then watched Formula 1 GrandPrix, Tennis, and Moto GP races until about 4am before hitting the sack. I actually fell asleep and saw none of the tennis but saw the presentation of the trophies. Roger Federer won Wimbledon again. He is a gutsy player with a fantastic grass court ability. Roddick played brilliantly but was unable to match him in the end. I get the feeling that if there was a rematch it could go either way.
Today we are going to head off shortly to see some friends, go shopping for some more downlights and then come home and I get to use the new drill to install them in a fish tank cabinet. They will look good I hope.
So now you see why I have had a fantastic weekend. The kids are all excited and I have a few things to do before going so must finish this now.
See ya next time!
