It's all about the last minute

I like the weekends and helping my children doing their homework, it's great watching their minds working and having a direct input. My daughter is doing great and I am really impressed with the improvements my boy is making now. My daughter only just told me about her task she was set for the weekend. She has brought Jerry the Giraffe home to spend the weekend with her and for her to write in his diary. This task has been taken by a few of the other children before and it gets passed on weekly. Very clever I think and it was fun reading over what had been done before.

We were having an easy one this weekend so it was a little annoying that we weren't adventuring but needless to say I added some value to the book. Namely that the Giraffe had watched the Formula One with me and how disappointed it was. I mean I was disappointed how could he not be. Mclaren made a big mistake keeping Lewis out an extra lap and it could be so costly that him coming off in the pitt straight may be his grip on the title slipping from him. A tense finale in store in a fortnight I am expecting!!

Well I would love to stay and chat but I have places to go people to see and packing to start...

Whatever next

Okay so today we are heading into the final straight of getting ready, as I weren't seeing my children until the evening I figured I would get stuck into this holiday malarky. With the babies father coming round and his brother I was to hide the car and lock myself away in the tower. Well something along those lines anyway as I holed up in the bedroom and watched the qualifying for the Formula One and got to work on the ironing. I was in a zone baby, working my way through and flattening those creases. I felt nigh on invincible, happily watching Lewis get pole and hanging my finished clothes on the curtain rail.

Oh how I should have expected the inevitable after I had a cup of tea brought to me... And once they had left it finally took place, it was like watching the game of Mouse Trap... The curtain broke off the wall.. Hit the cup of tea on the way past... Clothes hit the floor... Tea splashed across them all!! I was so pleased! Happiest I have been all year! Tranquility, yes, yes.. Profanity never haha! It was funny though and the highlight of the day haha!! Anyway fast forward a few house cleaning and washing of tea stained clothes hours and my children were dropped off to me. This was to be the first time I came face to face with their mothers fella, okay I was bitter from before over him opening his mouth to me but this was different. My children were there and although we nodded I still had to acknowledge him once they told me who he was. Let's see if she will now acknowledge my partner as it's not that far off a year we've been together as the year is rapidly coming to a close. Anyway one day and counting now and please someone explain to me what all this is about...

In the dock

Wake up this morning to news of the below footage and that Hamilton is in the dock over dangerous driving. Someone above definitely has it in for the Mclaren team, fortunately common sense prevailed and no action was taken! Here's hoping for a good result Sunday and Lewis driving off with the title, been an up and down season so I am sure that there will be dramas. Glad to be having a break from work for a week, although when I get back in the office it's going to be foot to the floor as with the bonuses coming closing I want to make sure I am bringing home a large wedge! Met my girl tonight after she returned from her mums and a brief time out!! Got a busy few days coming up but I'm going to pace it and try not to lose my head!

Am I there yet

Counting down the days until holiday now, well not ready and I am sure that there will be the mad rush on the day before we go. Wouldn't have it any other way though as it's all about the last minute action. Left getting my haircut until the last minute as well as I am trying to grow it. It's slowly getting to how I want it but it's taking longer than I had hoped. Headed over Bluewater after work for the cut and sat down with my usual hairdresser, I do well rate him as although it costs a fair amount of money. He does cut it well, he's a Chelsea fan and a good laugh as well. So we mainly talk about the state of the Chelsea team and other random stories. It seems like a good vibe there in the studio and he comes across as a good boss.
Got to thinking tonight about things I have done and what I would like to do in future. I've been through a lot although some things I am not proud of that have happened. You could say that already I have been through a divorce so getting married would be the way forward. My girls been there before as she was close to walking down the aisle before. Now I only plan on getting married the once but what I would like to do is slip off the map and be the person that responds to the proclamation asking if anyone knows of a reason why the couple should not wed, but "Speak now . . . ". I want to burst through the back of the church to take her and say that yes I am the person. The stuff of dreams hey...

The optimist or the pessimist!

Ah so tonight I witness a Chelsea side expected to lose overcome the odds and come away from Valencia with three much needed points. After a 2-1 victory we now top the group and look to be drawing a line under recent event and moving forward. Or will there be further setbacks, it's difficult to predict with Chelsea as this is going to be an eventful season. It has so far and I am sure there will be more twists and turns. My children's mother's manager is ill at the moment so I got to see my children for a few hours which was good.

Felt for them at the end of it though as they were knackered. Trying to get my son to understand my teachings in the naughty wall, I'll get there in the end!! Not seeing my girl this week has been frustrating I miss her next to me at night. Work was good today, I'm just feeling a bit jaded at the moment. Can't pinpoint it but I feel like this posting is in reverse. Starting at the end of my day and going backwards, I could bring up my waking thoughts, my first memory of the morning. Instead I'll provide a kind of bad memory. Going through photo's at my mums, check out my bad hair day in the below photo. I'm going to stand by the fact that it is a wig, honestly haha!!

There's a thing in my pocket

Have you ever have one of those feelings, the kind that come from within. You don't know what they actually are telling you, or maybe you do but you don't want to go through with it. I know how spiderman feels, although I am not going to leap off a building spraying goo from my arms in an attempt to fight crime. Actually if Red Bull gives me wings I might just give it a shot. Anyway I'm more of the trips to Florida, order the h'orderves, views of the water. Straight from the page of your favourite author.

Still cracking up about my Kanye dance off with my children the other night. Hmm I'm an author I suppose, as you read what I write, do I turn the page or close the book. Let's have a show of hands, orderly fashion people, queue down my right hand side. Well done the English teams in Europe, scared for Chelsea tomorrow but I am hoping for a JT goal and pulling off a bang on celebration. With Bellamy's golfing swing one of my highlights last year I want to see Terry score and then signal the Zorro sign haha!!

Noah please build me an Ark

Well what a lovely side to the week, or should that be weak as that's how it's going down with us at the moment. Woke up this morning and it was like the long dark tunnel, well weren't feeling the start to the week and as much as I tried to flick the switch it just weren't happening. Having been up since 5 I was in Space Cadet mode so decided to take the day off and get in gear and also assist my girl with the baby as they were also both under the weather...

Talking of weather and the day was no fun at all, decided that I couldn't have too many days off so ventured out and on to the road to take my girl down to her mums for a few days to recover. The journey there was not great, why is it that us guys can't take directions. I figured I was going alright but due to traffic jams, diversions, and a wrong turn I was half way to France. Having left my bank card in doors lets just say it was an interesting journey. We arrived and had a wonderful dinner though and then looked through photo albums of my girl as a baby. After filling up the car I headed home, will I be ready for work tomorrow, you be the judge...
