Well, week 2 is here and the kids are away again for the weekdays. This week they are with Noel's parents for the full five days. I must say that day 1 was disasterous with two little horrors upsetting their grandparents! I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this is the last time that they are allowed to stay with them and I really wouldn't blame Nana and Grandad if that was the case!
Needless to say after a night of worrying and discussing them with Noel both of us are quite angry. We have both rang them (at seperate times as we are at work) and have yelled the riot act at them. This is their last chance especially for Oliver - who at 10 is starting to really display attitude! And not a very nice attitude I must say! I am not really sure what to do with this - it is all new to us.
On a lighter note - we had a good day Sunday. Off four-wheel driving up the Rubicon (near Eildon) all was good except for a slight hiccup. I lost my purse thankfully not full of money but all the hassles of getting new cards and cancelling the others etc. It put me in a very fowl mood for a little while but once I got over it I tried to make the most of the rest of the day.
You never know someone may hand it in... but I doubt it.

School Holidays and Grand Final Day!
It’s Grand Final Day here in Melbourne… and finally, even I must say, it’s nice to have two Victorian teams battling it out. Shame that the Saints bowed out last week but still nice to see to home teams playing today.
As for us, we have celebrated our 15th Wedding Anniversary on Thursday. We got married on Grand Final Day in 1993! We went out for tea by ourselves Thursday night and then again last night with our kids and Noel’s parents.
On a sadder note my nephew was rushed into hospital on Thursday the 18th with an enlarged heart. Mam rang me to inform me as I haven't spoken to Claire since Mam left in March (don't know why?). So naturally the first thing I did was ring Claire and then went up to the hospital. It was good to see Claire especially to hug her even though the circumstances weren't the best. We have spoken most days and I even popped into the hospital by myself on the Monday after leaving work.
Not much more has been happening. The first week of the school holidays are overs – one more week to go. Luckily the kids spent the week just gone between Noel’s parents house and his brother’s house. They were taking to the Royal Melbourne Show, to a stage play at the local shopping centre, have seen Snake Busters and overall I think they had a ball.
It was so good to see them last night – I cried just seeing them and getting a hug. I missed them so much but due to work commitments at the moment we have to do it all again next week. Oh well – roll on next school holidays as I will definitely be having time off.

Yippee the last day of footy for 2008
Woohoo today is the last day as far as the 2008 Football season is concerned. I am excited knowing that as of next week I will have my Sunday's back but saddened as it is such a big part of our winter!
The club had presentations for the U13's, U14's and U16's last night and today we have the presentation for the remainder of the club as well as the Annual General Meeting. It will be good to see Oliver up there getting his participation trophy.
Clare flew in from Sydney last night - she has come down to surprise Dad for Father's Day except the cat will be out of the bag as they will see each other today at the presentations. Oh well!
Better fly as I have lots to do with getting organised for the AGM - I am going to put my hand up for Treasurer (cross fingers I get voted back in!), then I have to go shopping as well as get ready as we are having an impromptu dinner party tonight so Sharon can catch up with Clare and Clare can also meet the Coopers!!
Should be a good night but a damn busy day!!
