Weekend

I have such original titles for my posts. Have to start making a bit more effort on those.
So where I left off I was about to go out to the pub with Simon.
Well he rang me at about half past eight to say that he had a headache and wasn't coming out. I felt a little let down since I had previously had a headache earlier on and I had taken something for it because I was looking foward to going out. Also I could have been showered and changed ready to rock & roll by that time. Fortunately I wasn't.
So I just got a takeaway. Watched "the firm" which I have never seen before. It's a pretty good film.
Then Sunday I got woken by Reece's phone going off. You see Reece has a really lame phone. When he gets a text message and doesn't answer it his phone feels a need to remind you every minute or so. Well Vicky texted Reece the night before when she was out on the beer and Reece (being a heavy sleeper) hadn't heard his phone going off. It woke me at about 6:30am and I couldnt get back to sleep again afterwards. I spent the rest of the day knackered.
I went for a walk in the morning with Cally and Anya which was nice. Cally went after the ducks and Anya found it highly amusing :-)
After that we went to Vicky's mum and dad's wedding anniversary party (also a leaving party for Vicky). It was quite fun, very quiet type party but I enjoyed myself. During the course of the day my dad collared me and my brothers one at a time and asked us if we could go for a drink with him later that day. None of us knew quite what he wanted to talk about but we all suspected it was something to do with the problems him and mum are having.
The evening came and I was so knackered by then that we didn't go to the pub but he came and spoke to us while we were at home. He basically just said that although him and mum were having problems, things were on the way up and that we shouldn't worry. A marriage isn't perfect and no marriage will survive as long as theirs without some problems. What makes a marriage strong is working through those problems together and coming out the other side.
He is right and I do feel reassured now. My mum had previously mentioned that things were getting better between them and my dad confirmed this by what he said.
It seems like although there may be a way to go before these problems are entirely sorted out, they are getting there and I don't think I will be posting about this anymore unless anything changes.
