Yesterday, I had been out with the kids to see my mother. My wife had been away on a weekend (or rather, for the night) to meet up with some old friends, so after doing some paper work on Saturday, I took the kids down to see her (after making sure that I had a nap to recharge my batteries). Before this though, my wife had given me a shopping list and taking the kids to Costco, I decided to be nice Dad. My son loved it as he went and picked lots of stuff to take home. My daughter decided that she had to be the sensible one and got stressed over this (and has vowed never to do the same again). In addition to seeing my Mum, I also got to meet up with the youngest of my brothers. I have not really had the chance to spend lots of time with him in ages and it was great to sit and chat.
As for Sunday, we had a trip to see some friends. My wife joined us later, but missed the later lunch that took place after watching the football game (I am not sure if her arrival time was influenced by that). While Arsenal drew, it was good to see that for most of the game, we were better defending than before, though I do think that we look vulnerable when defending the near post. It is depressing to see how far down we are in the table, but based on the performance, we should rise up.
