Running out of time.

[Cie la vie]

Mhl,

I just logged on. Wish I could post on threads with my Bberry but I guess I don't have the proper apps. I've have a lot time on my hands when the kids are off with the W.

My weekend was a lot of fun with the kids. They were with me from Friday at 6:00 PM til Monday morning when the nanny arrived. Took them for hike/stroll in Griffith Park Sat. (been doin this quite a bit lately) with the dog. They enjoyed it and it burns them out so they nap after lunch. I took them to another park on Sun. where there is climbing on sandstone boulders which is a passion of mine. I had several climbing buddies who showed up and helped out with the kids while I got in an occassional climb. There is a Metro train that travels thru the area and there is a tunnel that the train passes thru as well. My son loves trains and has been obessive about tunnels of late. Needless to say they had a good time.

I took them to McDonalds for lunch and they fell asleep on the way home. I got them down for a nap and had a couple of hours to do some things for myself around the house. When the kids woke up we played in the yard and I set up my Mountaineering tent and they loved playing in it and fortunately they didn't damage it.

I made them dinner, bathed them and they had a little milk and off to bed after "Yo gabba gabba" at 8:00 PM. I was going strong all weekend long with the little ones it was great.

Monday morning the nanny showed up late 8:10 AM which isn't good as I have a video conf. with my NY office at 8:30 AM, I barely made it as a result. Last night and this morning proved to be a bit of downer being in a empty home, just the dog and I. I'm going to need to get use to this and find things to occupy my time or I'll end up dwelling on the negatives.

The kids are with the W thru mid-day Wednesday. I may have mentioned that she placed three calls to last Thursday which matches the sum total of calls she placed to me in the previous three and half months. She was busy with OM2 on Fri and Sat. and I haven't heard a word form her since. She did drop off a bill at the house for me yesterday. I'm in NC mode and she might be in the same mode as well. Looking forward to seeing my kids on Wednesday.

This would be kind of a lateral job change but more money and closer to home and not a big bank with lots of BS redtape. So I am happy about that. Also my D13 made her school soccer team!!! 62 girls tried out and only 16 girls made the team, she is on top of the world. S9 made A-B honor role for the second grading period in a row!

I read this on your thread over the weekend (if I remember correctly). That is great news congrats to you and your daughter. That will be great for her psyche. Congrats to your son as well, keeping the grades up through this garbage is no small feat.

Good to hear from you, look for a post from me on your thread at some point today.
