My idea of covering a diary of my week kind of went a bit wayward but never mind.
We spent the weekend at my parents place where we spent time with extended family organising my Nan's funeral. It was good to all get to together and reminisce. My Nan was a big part of our lives and although she never made a big deal about her faith she regularly attended church. It wasn't until we found her bible and little notes she had written in her own hand writing that I found she had more than just a Sunday faith. I knew she had very strong moral standards and always tried to live a kind and generous life but it's nice to know it was a bit deeper than just that.
My Nan was a great example of a wife and one of her gems of wisdom she told me once was to give your husband space to do his own thing and he'll treat you like a queen. My Grandad loved to play golf and although she probably would have loved him home some days instead of playing golf she always encouraged him to go. My Grandad adored her and she really was his queen.
Our weekend also involved taking Jaxon (4) to the A&E. He had stood on something a few days earlier but I couldn't see anything in there. He complained in the evening that his legs were sore and by the morning he had a fever and a swollen foot. They lanced it two days in a row but found nothing. He's on antibiotics now and is jumping around as per usual. It certainly has not stopped his constant chatter and sound effects. One amusing thing that happened while there was he told me the nurses kept swearing. He said "listen" I listened hard and then heard a machine beep. He said "See, they have to keep beeping it out". Priceless :)
Daya (16) has a job in the weekends. She minds her cousin who happens to be Down syndrome. She is hired through the proper channels of IHC (Ideas) and she looks after him 4 hours each Saturday and Sunday. We take him horse riding on a Saturday and because Daya can't drive yet we have to take her up there. Usually we cook up bacon and eggs with garlic mushrooms (Mmmm mouth watering) while we wait but this week David had to go alone while I went with my Mum to my Nan's place. I'm so proud of Daya because she got a job to pay for her trampolining. It's an expensive sport and we just could not afford to pay for it all as well as the other kids activities. We pay for her drama and other sports but she has taken responsibility for trampolining. Like I said, I'm very proud of her.
We also had a lovely dinner at my brothers place on Saturday night. My sister in law is Indian and she treated us to some of her amazing cooking. It was a lovely time and my Mum and Dad joined us there.
On Sunday night David and I went to see a movie in a small cosy theatre. I just felt like getting away from everything for a couple of hours and to think about something completely different. It was nice to spend time with my man that I love very much.
