Of course this not a post about football.
Rather this is an update on the family. I have been on holiday this week, though not much of one. Last year on this day, I left my last job and instead I started to work in my new job. It has required a pay cut, and due to that, I have had to work most weekends. My new job involves me working harder than I did in my last job. Due to working on the weekends, I do not get to see my family as much as I did before.
But I am so happy!
It is not just that I love where I work, it is not just that I can pop home on some Tuesday's to have lunch with my family, but it is the attitude of people where I work. It is much more of a team, the people at the top leading from the front. And they support each other.
But back to me and the family. I have had to do some moonlighting in the two weeks I have off. And after having to work last week, we spent time with my wife's parents. And today, we dropped my mother home who had been staying with us for two nights. She kindly agreed to come up to babysit as on Friday night, my wife and I went out with some friends into Colchester for a muscial night out. I had to miss the first part (as I was working) but I arrived for the last bit. It was great to dance, and there were loads of kids there. It is something that we might go to next year.
And of course, the kids loved being in contact with their Grandparents. It is great to be able to bring joy both to my mother and my mother-in-law and father-in-law and as the kids love it, well, seeing them smile makes me laugh.
I have to say, the last few days have been great, today especially so as it is the first Saturday night I have spent with my wife in ages. And I miss Saturday's like this.
