This week

As much as I've wanted to blog, I just haven't found the time. H turned 7 on April 1. Can you believe he's 7??? Wow, it seems like yesterday he was a toddler. He bought a bionicle set for his birthday. When did toys become so complex? He asked me for help, and I swear, I couldn't understand any of it. It's all picture directions, but it's ridiculously complicated. The thing had around 256 very tiny pieces. Gone are the days when toys just came out of the box and you played with them. Now it's like "oh, I can't wait to play with that some time next week, when I finally get it together." Fun.

The move stuff is starting to come together. We applied for our official passports today, and should have them back in a couple of months. We (the boys and I) got immunizations today. ICK. I had to get 3 shots, Japanese Encephalitis, a HepA and HepB combo and a tetanus. H was lucky and only got the Jap-E. K and A had both a HepA and the Jap-E. H took it like a man, but the smaller two screamed bloody murder. I can't wait to take them back next week for the 2nd round. By the 3rd round, I'll probably have to drag them out of the car. I've got appointments booked daily, sometimes 3 per day. It's really fun around here these days.

Oh, and H's soccer coach is the worst!! He scheduled the first practice, which he said would just be a meeting, for 5:30 pm. I get there at 5:25, after dragging the kiddos across a field and he says "well, I just wanted to see if anyone showed up", no practice today. I could have kicked him. He canceled the 2nd practice, due to the fact it was chilly and a little rain happened earlier in the day. This guy's a piece of work. I'm pretty sure I might have to kick his butt before the season is over. You might end up seeing a video of me beating a soccer coach on youtube. Ha ha.
