Hmmph.
That’s my general feeling today. Monday gets that feeling a lot for some reason.
The weekend: Actually it was ok +. Though we went to the Latin festival yesterday and it rained absolute buckets on us so we had to abort that journey fairly quickly.
T wrote us a note and gave it to us on Saturday evening. It was the sweetest thing ever. Man do I love that little girl! She wrote it in Dutch of course, but here is the translation:
Dear Papa and *****,
I love you both so very much.
As much as a rocket that goes 1000 times around the world.
Sometimes I miss you a little but then I just think about you.
Because I have never before seen such a loving Papa and Stepmother before!
Then she drew a little heart with “I love You” (in English, I taught her that 
) and a pretty rose by it. Sweet, huh?
The clean up went fairly well without too many incidents. Of course P has to make it harder on himself. Constantly getting in trouble, not listening, arguing… but these things never last long. It’s not like he’s horrible or something. He’s just a feisty 5 year old kid!
After we took the kids home, we went home ourselves and after a while sat down together to watch a movie. Have you ever heard of Everything is Illuminated? Great film. Really great! R got the tip from someone at work so he downloaded it about 6 months ago and promptly forgot about it.
Speaking about R and work… a very unfortunate accident has happened with one of R’s Colleagues… Mark, who is only about 24 years old was in an auto accident this weekend. He’s in a coma, has brain damage, a collapsed lung and multiple fractures. Now I don’t know this guy, except from what R tells me, and on the one hand he sounds like a young know-it-all kind of guy in one of his first jobs, so he annoys the older ones a lot. So I’ve conferred with Ron what an idiot or jerk this guy is, but only in talking about work! I feel SO BAD that this kid has had this accident… he’s so young! Just because he’s a cocky young colleague doesn’t mean we wished something like THIS to happen. Unbelievable. I wonder sometimes about God’s reasoning.
Not to make light of the above subject (I can’t, but I really am stumped for words about the situation at the moment; I’m not trying to be insensitive), the last thing I want to mention FOOD over the weekend. Well. Let’s just say it wasn’t very good. It wasn’t hugely bad, but it was just off. Like most weekends.
I’m about to kiss wine drinking good-bye though… I’m getting more and more convinced it’s screwing things up for me.
