It has been a busy week, one with many firsts! Pat left me here for the first time on my own-he flew to Durban for a rugby match with a bunch of work buddies! The kids and I had to do it all alone, typically I would be fine with this but the security here scares me! We made it, in fact we did a lot together-we went out to eat, went to a play place and all got to church on time, actually early! Go Team Mom! We only had every light in the house on, but who was counting!
I was invited to a book club, much like a Bunco night. Lots of drinks and laughs with little time spent on the real deal-loved it! Great group of people, this is exactly what I need- I have been trying to salvage some really hard friendships lately-caddy, caddy, caddy!
I have upped my tennis to two days a week, and I am going to try the Women's League tomorrow! I asked my tennis coach if there had ever been a 37 year old beginner Wimbledon star, just wondering! (she just laughed, what does that mean)
Our maid has moved in with us, we have maid's quarters in the back of the house. We decided to do this because she was needing a place to stay, and it just felt right! So far so good, she seems very happy-I know she is safe and has a place to sleep!
Soccer has begun! Hunter had his first match today, and Taylor has his on Friday! Claire started PT this week with a new therapist, she seems very good-just hoping we see some good results!
ONLY 6 MORE WEEKS until mom and dad come! Oh, I think I will never be able to send them
home! I will probably need counseling after they leave!
One last thing, I finally turned on the monogram machine and made Claire a shirt! It felt so good to get the old machine working! How silly to be missing my sewing, but I do!
On top of all that the typical stuff still happens: taking kids to school, taking kids to sports, feeding my family, went to the doctors twice, dried tears, wiped bottoms and gave lots of kisses!
