* jake had a draw in his game of soccer on saturady (3 - 3); matt lost his game (3 - 2); we all froze our butts off on the sideline - it was SOOOOOO cold.
* had dinner with mark's brother, geoff, his wife, di and their kids on saturday night before the game. a nice easy meal, thrown together at the last minute but great company and lots of laughs - as always when we all get together.
* FINALLY got my letter to the parents of our school completed encouraging them to get involved in our annual Bonfire Night - it is HUGE event run by the school each year, brings in well over $25,000 (about $19,000 of that is profit) each year - not bad for a small country school with only 82 kids.
it will take up almost every spare minute i have in the next few weeks. i am the P&C vice president and the president is 8 1/2 months pregnant so a lot of the responsibility has fallen my way.
* spent yesterday making craft items for the mothers day stall - used up some of my scraps of cardstock, patterned papers and ribbon to cover notebooks; used up some flowers decorating little trinket boxes. i will be interested to see how it goes as this is the first year we have had something like this at school.
* my thoughts are very much with the miners at beaconsfield.
so close and yet so far, guys. you must almost be able to smell freedom.
i pray for them, their families, the rescue teams and the town itself.
* my thoughts and prayers are also with little sophie delezio and her family and friends. makes me wonder what part fate plays in our lives.
* my dad and step-mum have arrived to give support to my uncle bob who is having major surgery for bowel cancer on wednesday. dad is not coping very well at all with uncle bob's illness - they are extremely close. more prayers for my uncle bob and a successful outcome from his surgery.
* and finally......to finish off, this time 15 years ago i was waddling off to hospital in the early stages of labour with our darling jakey.
wishing you a very happy 15th birthday for tomorrow, darling boy.
remember always just how precious you are to dad and i, how proud we are of you and how much you are loved by your family.
have a happy tomorrow

Have fun with all your P&C stuff. Sounds like lots of work.
Yes, I think that this stage would be the hardest for the miners, as it gets closer to them getting out. I would be going mad! My thoughts are with them. And for Sophie and her family. Another terrible tragedy for that little girl. Some people just don't deserve the hand they get dealt in life. And finally, thinking of your uncle and your dad. I hope that things go well.

Happy birthday Jake, and best wishes for Uncle Bob.
Hope your stall at school is a great success !!
Thinking of you, your Dad and Uncle Bob.
Happy Birthday to Jake. Woohoo!! 15!!! Watch out girls.
My prayers go to your family at this time for the operation. Happy birthday to Jakey - 15yrs doesn't take long! You sound very busy with school and yes Thank God the miners are now out and safe. We give thoughts of comfort now to the family of the one who wasn't so fortunate as you said.
Hope all goes well for your family this week and Happy Mothers day for Sunday.
Love ya

Happy b'day to Jake! Hope the op goes well for your Uncle Shazz!
