It's the weekend!

It's a long weekend ... we're celebrating the Queen's 80th birthday. It's kinda funny though her birthday is the same day as Mark's and that was back in April! The reason why it's celebrated in June is because the weather is much nicer in England during June than it is in April.

Before I forget I must say that the big fella made it through the WHOLE school week without being suspended!! Woohoo!! It's great to know that he can do it. Now he just needs to get through a 4 day week this time round. He only has to last 4 days then its school holidays. I can't believe that it's holidays again already .. however they did have a 12 week term this time. It's just that it doesn't seem that way for the big fella. He's spent MORE time home than he has at school this term! Well it feels that way anyway.

Yesterday we went into town to food bank. It's held by a church and you pay $5 for some groceries. You certainly get your money's worth. We ended up with quite a bit of junk food the last couple of times we've gone. What did we get this time? Biscuits, pretzels, corn chips, pasta, potatoes, pumpkin, tomatoes, cream cheese, a loaf of bread and some other stuff that I just can't think of right now. We can't really complain about what we get since we really do get more than what we pay for.
While we were in town I made sure I paid some money on my lay-by. I've got some pj's for the boys and some stuff for myself on lay-by. It's not very often that I get something for myself but I needed these as they are an essential. I'll have to start another lay-by soon I really am in need of some new clothes. Especially for church. I only have one skirt that is suitable for winter and I don't know how much longer I can keep wearing it! It's not right that I only have one thing I can wear during winter!

Church was good today. The main talk was about temple and not just the building... it was about treating your body as a temple and making sure that you follow the Word if Wisdom etc. Mark said his priesthood meeting was about prayer and how you should ask Heavenly Father for anything and everything because if you don't ask He wont know how to help you. Well he would but he wont know that you want it, would He?
The boys must've had a good time because they never complained once. Which is amazing in itself. They normally complain about something no matter how small or trivial it may seem. I know I shouldn't complain about that .. it really is a good thing that they didn't.

Tomorrow is our public holiday and we really don't have much planned. In fact I am liking the idea of just staying home. We travel enough during the week and on Sunday's that I AM entitled to at least one day off a week. Which of course NEVER happens but since tomorrow is a holiday I want to stay home!!! Somehow I doubt that will happen because we're running low on groceries and I may need to drive into town to get some milk, etc. Too bad I didn't get it yesterday when we were out but I didn't think to and I don't get paid until Monday's anyway. So that kind of messes things up anyway.
