Remember...
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing.
George Bernard Shaw
All I seem to do is go on about how busy I am, and coming up to Christmas, we have something on every weekend, so life will get busier still.
I did the Grandmother thing and brought Zeke home with me on Friday night while Lauren and Daniel went to Daniel's work Xmas party. It was just me and Alex because Carly went to a disco in Wagga and stayed with friends. Zeke was a joy to look after. He cried for about 5 minutes when it was time for him to go to bed, and he woke up at 7:30am when he heart me moving around in the kitchen. Alex had cricket Saturday morning, and the two little girls from down the road took turns pushing him around and looking after him. It was too easy.
After lunch I took him home and Carly and Alex had touch football. They both won easily, and next week is the start of the finals so there's only a couple of weeks left (thank God!!!). It was 6 before we got home, and I had a 50th to go to. I could easily have stayed home and done my usual when I'm invited somewhere (which is to beg off), but it turned out to be a good night and I'm glad I went. I'm not much of a drinker though, and had a thumping headache this morning. Sorting washing with my head pounding was no fun at all.
I spent the day between wash loads playing with the Council website that I'm still working on. I've gotten the layout pretty much down pat, except for an expanding vertical menu that I'm having trouble with. I've got until Xmas to get it right, so I've been fiddling with it every chance I get. I've done most of the work at home, and therefore not getting paid for it, but I'm proud of how it looks and the old saying works for me: Pride of achievement and achievement of pride.
I have less than a year now to give up smoking, I promised the kids I'd give up before I turn 50. The count-down has begun.
