Remember...
Riches add to the house...
Virtues to the man.

Every day has been so busy the last couple of weeks since I started back to work. Carly has touch football training in Wagga on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. That gives me half an hour to fly home, change, drive to Wagga then get through peak-hour traffic. Carly got selected to play in the State Cup in Wollongong at the end of February. Training is pretty intensive. There's another week of school holidays left and then we're off to Queensland for a week for Emily's wedding. I got a car converter for the laptop yesterday so the kids can watch DVDs during the 12 hours or more we'll be on the road. It's getting exciting.
I've been doing more work on the Council website and installed Fireworks to edit the images. Another learning curve coming up. I created a cool donation thermometer to show the proceeds from the bushfire relief appeal but I fumbled around in the program and a few lessons wouldn't go astray. I've managed to clean up my pile of work and am hoping to stay on top of it all next week so I can have 2 weeks off without thinking about work.
Alex has been busily re-building and painting his bike. He got a better frame from a mate and has been tinkering away all week. Tools all over the place. He's supposed to be in his rooom cleaning up: it looks like a tornado has been through there. I can hear "Fat Albert" playing in his room so I doubt there's much cleaning up going on. Tomorrow night both Alex and Carly are staying at their father's house and I'm off to my cousin's 50th birthday celebration. I'm looking forward to it.
Lauren and I went shopping last Saturday to buy our wedding outfits. With sales going on all over we both did pretty well. I got a really nice dress, and Lauren bought a gorgeous skirt and top. Aileen has given me a bag to use and beads for Lauren to wear, Emily has organised the hairdresser in Queensland, and I finally ran into Kai's mother last week too, so now it won't be 30 years since I've seen her when we're at the wedding. We'll have a few days all together at the resort to catch up and finalise all the preparations. My head never seems to shut down, there's so much going on.
