What a great weekend! Gorgeous weather & my love was home with us. On Saturday morning, Seb & Sophie went to the first meeting of the 2nd session of the Dovercourt Young Readers Society, while their parents went out for brunch (and this could be weekly, folks!!). Then it was off to soccer (which they lost in a big way), and on to a birthday party in the park. All topped off by after-supper baseball.
Sunday was all about hosting a brunch for friends, zip to Word on the Street with our neighbour Andrew, and then off to a family celebration for our friend Kelly having received her doctorate. Oh what fun! WotS was a fab as ever. We bought old mags, new books, children's and adults theatre tix, saw authors do their thing and just soaked up the literacy vibe.
Somehow though, Mondays seem to always follow Sundays...
Woke knowing that our childminder was off-sick and that the father of my children was not only long at work but would likely still be working when I went to bed tonight! Had a very grumpy and oppositional son and a daughter who gagged on her breakfast vitamin. We arrived at school 30 mins late...
I dashed back home to make a work call - only to have interrupted by a call from school saying that Sophie had vomited in the hall. Rushed to wrap up the call and dashed back to school.
Brought Sophie home - she seems fine and happy to be playing - swept the mass of rotting grapes from our yard so she can play out back in the shade (it's still gorgeously hot here).
Tried to do a bit of work but kept being interrupted by French Club queries and hiccups (why are there no rooms for us after-school when the main school is under-enrolled?). Found out that I had been selected for a last minute spot at a training on how to run big humanitarian simulations in Sweden NEXT week... Roped the ever-affable grandparents in to do childcare again (love ya G&L - get this: their only request is that this be Brownie points towards the kids going to NB for a longer summer camp next year...).
Found out that Seb & Sophie are in fact still registered for swimming lessons on Mondays, but we will lose our spot if we don't go today... Arranged to get Seb to swimming (post cross-country practice) and then on to a friend's so he can still attend to the Municipal Services protest at City Hall this early evening.
And it wasn't even noon!
