Weekend Tales

Evening

Well its Sunday night and all is well. C went to her Dad's yesterday and is staying until Monday eve and D went for the day today. Yesterday was spent doing not alot!! We really wasted the day!! D spent some time on his Wii [too much time really] K and I spent the day talking over his decision to give up his Senior role at work. He can revert back to a role he was doing, this means a pay cut but the plus side is that his time is his own once his working day is finished, at the moment he is covering for his boss who is on holiday which means that K is on call 24/7 and there have been alot of calls this weekend and even a visit back to work. This causes alot of personal stress for K as he gets no monetary compensation and more importantly no thanks. Isn't it a shame that in this day and age our work forces work longer, harder and for less money and receive no small words of thanks. K is a very hard worker and takes alot of pride in his role as a Support Worker in the Care Industry. I know he is of value - surely a little recognition is not too much to ask for, well, apparently it is!!
Today has seen K and I spend time together - this is time that we both treasure and aim to get the most from. We have very simple needs and wants in our life together. We visited the Allotment for about an hour and again spent the rest of our time together talking and laughing and boy do we laugh. Tomorrow will see us with D doing D things and hopefully some housework - why do I always struggle with the housework in the school hols, is it because its holiday time lol

Thank you for reading this and I hope one day to be able to work out how to put pictures on here, don't hold your breath for that though.
