On this Long Weekend we get for Labour Day, the question that comes up is What To Do? Do the usual barbecue, watch sports and drink beer with friends and family? Make a trek out to Playland at the PNE or to Barton Springs Natural Area? Maybe sleep in and grab brunch with the kiddos and friends? Or a mixture of all of them. Meh, it all comes out in the wash as my Nana used to say...
Thus far I've had to handle some student EMails (ongoing of course), took the kids to a Local Rock-Climbing Gym, which they LOVED, and so did I (but it IS one of my hobbies, natch!) , took them to The Yardhouse for dinner at City Centre which they LOVED, let them play Wii a bunch and so forth.
Yesterday it was busy in the AM with my boy's swimming lessons while his sister was with their mom. In the early afternoon I watched Stargate Universe (SGU) episodes while I assembled some Halo Models from Mega Blocks with my boy. Then my kids' mom took them off to a kids' Yoga class with their cousins and friends, where they had a sleepover afterwards while I rested up and watched more of Season 1 of SGU (Thank YOU NetFlix!!!).
I've worked out Friday, Saturday and today in the early AM. Took the kids to church this AM too. They're playing Super Mario Bros Wii while I'm blogging and tweeting. My daughter has Sylvan in an hour while my Son and I go to Starbucks to play chess and hang out with some of my friends and their kids who do the same thing. The Starbucks we go to in NW Austin has a group that plays Chess in their every weekend. This one guy, Dimitri Sarcharov, was a Russian Master and is rated internationally. He's been helping me teach my son and he is VERY PATIENT.
I've also had to do laundries (BLECCCHHH, but must be done!) and wash dishes too. Still some work to do, even over the LOOOOONG Labour Day weekend.
Zao an, ya'll!!!
