Time For An Update

Gosh half the time I never know where to begin with a blog entry. I suppose I should just start where I finished last time.

Friday ... the car was still off the road. It had been way too hot for Mark to work on it. I think the temperature was around 40C (over 100F in the old scale). I was unable to go to he Primary School to do the newsletter. Brodie got a lift from Nick's parents & Angus got a ride with a friend so neither of them missed school.

Saturday ... it was still shockingly horrible weather. The air-conditioner has been getting a good work out. We didn't make it to foodbank as the car was still off the road for the morning. Mark did NOT have a good day and he managed to break his hand. His Borderline Personality Disorder (wiki) was getting a good work out ... his hand managed to connect with the shed door a few times then the brick wall outside for a few more punches. We didn't know his hand was broken at the time but it didn't look good and was beginning to swell up heaps. Mark popped some codeine tablets and finished working on the car. Around 2 p.m. I took him to the hospital. We were there for quite some time. He had a couple of x-rays taken and we were finally told that it was broken. Which to be honest was no surprise as you could no longer see three of his knuckles. The doctor slapped a half plaster on it gave Mark a box of panadeine forte and sent us home.

Sunday... the weather was still hot. I had an awful headache and decided that it was too much for me, the boys and the car to travel the 40 km to Church. I didn't feel up to driving all that way and then go into Nursery with a bunch of toddlers. Not that I don't love the toddlers because they are just SO adorable!!

Monday ... the weather was still hot. Angus had the day off - it was a pupil free day. Not much else happened. Well I don't remember anything important happening.

Tuesday ... Brodie had the day off because it was Parent/Teacher/Student interviews. Angus's sports day was cancelled once again due to the hot weather. It was the third time it was cancelled too. They are hoping that it will be held during the second week after next term starts.

Brodie and I went up to the High School just before 1:30 p.m. We went to see all of his teachers. It was wonderful to hear a lot of good stuff being said. Brodie of course was Mister Negative! Saying how awful it was that the teachers would only say bad things about him. I think that perhaps he was so used to the bad reports that he didn't exactly know how to react to the good stuff. Although I was not impressed with his behaviour. He was butting in, talking over the top of the teachers or myself and fidgeting like crazy!

Wednesday .. I can't remember much about yesterday. Which is sad to say really. Other than knitting more beanies and doing some grocery shopping, enjoying the cool change that finally arrived and watching a bit of TV I didn't do much else.

I would blog some more but the boys are nagging for dinner so I'll write some more later if I get the time.
