Jack has had the best birthday week! Yesterday went great and there were 5 boys who went home last night saying that it was the best birthday party ever. They played in the backyard for a while and then Steve took them to the movie. He said it was a hoot to watch the 6 boys go through a crowd of people. The kids were so well behaved and sat through the movie really well. I was a bit worried as 3 of the boys are aspergers. But they were terrific. They came home and we had McDonalds and birthday cake. They were rapt.
Today we had the family barbeque for Jack's birthday. I really am a closet masterchef. I just love to cook. Its great to spend time with family. Its great for the kids to have a close extended family, especially Stef. She jumped on the trampoline with Jacinta and Lydia and was just laughing the whole time. It truly is wonderful to see her connect to the girls so well. You can see the level of trust she has with the whole extended family. It makes the whole thing worthwhile for me. It is worth the bit of work to get it organised to have them all over.....its just so important for the kids but also my mum.
Got a busy week ahead like usual, still working 3 jobs and will be until at least the 31st. Settlement of the shop was delayed. I cant wait til its all over. This week I am going to concentrate on my new job more and try to get lots of sleep. I made a lot of mistakes the first week, mainly because I was so damned tired, but also because of the steep learning curve and the preasure of having someone email every hour demanding different things done. It was a tough week. Steve has a cold, I hope I don't get it. Colds are just so nasty for me now. I know, I know, I shouldnt be smoking..two weeks max left.
Anyway, time to get the kids clothes washed or else they will have to go to school nakie lol...
