Back Online

We are back online.  Our Internet has been shut off for the last two days.  I am not completely cut off because my phone is still 3G and I can get my emails when I am not at the house (we have no coverage under this house).  I finally got a hold of the provider today and they had cut us off because we had reached a new arbitrary limit above our plan!  So let me see.  You put the limit there, not me.  We have gone hundreds and once a thousand dollars over when my brother Jack comes out, but we have always paid on time.  So randomly we are getting a limit and then held to it, all without letting us know!  Yes I was a little annoyed but I am guessing it isn't the girl on the phone's fault!

It has been a busy and a quiet weekend.  Friday night we had Ty over for a sleepover and the boys played until about 9.30 at night and then got up early.  They played all day.  Needless to say by Saturday night Levi was dragging.  Ty had gone home in the late afternoon and Levi was barely able to make it through dinner.  It was Sizzler which was worth staying awake for. 

Soccer this week was 'Cancer Week'.  We all buy special yellow soccer socks for the kids where all the money is donated back to the Cancer Council.  The kids then all wear the socks together on a designated day.  It made me feel proud of the club for such a good idea and to involve all the kids in something a little bigger than themselves.  It is especially poignant for me with Bill's birthday in August.  I still miss him heaps at times even though it has been a long time, nearly sixteen years.

Today was a slow one.  It started slow.  We were slow to get dressed and lounged in front of the TV for a while before we did anything at all.  We didn't have to go out at all.  We didn't have anything that we had to do and so we didn't do anything!  Levi was pleased about the Internet being down because some of his homework had to be done on the Internet and he thought he would get out of it!
