weekend blues

time really flies! here's another weekend at hand ... and this one's a bit different. my son's best friends, patrick and august, are coming over today at 10 am. alexander's very excited since it's been over two months the last time they got together for a weekend at our place. so, it's going to be a fun-filled day full of activities for the "threee musketeers".

last night, being a friday, we had our usual cozy time as a family - it was video night and we've got plenty on our plate to munch away ... saltines, nuts, dried fruits, chips, M&Ms and assorted marshmallows. we missed the fireplace to complete the ambience - it went kaput and had to be fixed, and very soon!

i have quite a lot of things on my mind as well. we're all excited in the family about the coming visit of my good friend from manila next week - she's to stay with us for a couple of days and enjoy the sights and going ons in Gothenburg. we already made a list of things to do while she's here - we just can't wait!

life, so far, has been treating us good in spite of our erratic and heavy schedules both at work and at home. this weekend is more or less scheduled for clean up in and out of the house. but for today, i made an exception for the "three musketeers" to play and mess things up indoors and have a good time - alexander has promised to help tidy up afterwards when his friends had gone home ... for me, it's a good compromise.

right now, i'm just making a mental note of how much things i have to get done before my friend arrives ... it ain't that much really, but remember my old list? yeah ... that one's very much around ... for better and for worse!
