Learning the Ropes

Well it's been a couple of days since my last post.
Saturday came and went with no phone call. The first thing everyone tells me
without fail, "Oh they probably got in trouble". I am choosing to imagine they
just had a full day, and living in the secret hope and denial they will reward them
with a mid week surprise home call!! It gets you through...

Today's major achievement: I hung a picture! Which included the use of a tape
measure and a level... Something I never in my life saw my self doing when
I married a carpenter...
 Long gone where the days of me being handy! HAR, now
as a sailors wife I see I will be carpenter, plumber, electrician and probably
decorator. Three of which I have already dabbled in, in just in the first 4 weeks.
Matthew would never believe I actually could use a level... If only he could
see me now. So far away from the girl that hung up her Christmas tinsel using
9in carpenter nails right in to our freshly painted RENTED living room.

The children have had a restless day. I think they are missing their wrestling
partner. I must say playing "Daddy" is something I don't think I will ever get
used too. I will be glad when he is home and able to throw them around and
tire them out.

I also don't think I will be quick to tell him I learned to use a plunger while he was
away... Some achievements are just best kept quiet ;)

Well goodnight all

- Sophie
