I'm a soccer mom

Galaxy v Blue Thunder (who strangely enough play in green, weird or what?)

I've had a trying week, this week as technology has been conspiring against me. First of all I got locked out of my email account and spent countless phonecalls to the aol helpdesk trying to sort it out - which in the end they couldn't and I now have a new email address and spent about 3 hours yesterday creating a new address book and contacting people to let them know. To annoy me even more the new email address I created I don't actually like. The name I gave myself is just a bit too long and cumbersome. To cap it all off, Nick's email has just spazzed up as well so he is going to have to make up a new email address too. The most annoying thing is not being able to access any old or saved emails anymore and not having access to anyones email address. Luckily I had most addresses printed off last year when we moved out here so that wasn't as disastrous as it could have been.

My cell phone also stopped working last Sunday, it just totally lost its signal so I wasn't able to make or receive calls - luckily this didn't have a huge impact on my life as I don't really use the phone, it's just for emergencies and occassional calls/texts. It eventually starting working again on Thursday and there were no voicemails waiting for me so I guess no one had called me anyway.

This week I have been to pilates and a kind of boxing class along with 2 personal trainer sessions - check me out, little miss fitness or what ! Luckily, to combat all the good work I am still consuming plenty wine. Also went to a Pampered Chef thing that me new across the road neighbour held. Spent lots of money (but not as much as I could have) and am waiting on my kitchen goodies to arrive.

Tom has been to football practice twice this week and gymnastics twice and Lily has been to her ballet class - which she still maintains she wants to give up. Nick is busy marking papers at the moment and then we are off out for early evening nibbles at Craig & Bernice's house.

This morning was, of course, Tom's debut on the football field as it was his first match. Galaxy were 3 nil up at half time but the opponents, Blue Thunder, came back to draw 3 all in a very thrilling game. I think I did a good job as 'soccer mom' shouting encouragement from the sideline whilst trying not to embarrass Tom at the same time, good job mom! Hope you enjoyed the video clip of him. I'm actually looking forward to going to watch the next game.
