Amen!

Ok, gonna make this one quick because I have 15 minutes left of my lunch hour.

– Mario dropped the kids off Tuesday night, because he had to go to the gym, or whatever. Yay, my babies!!

– Jaylen was grumpy from having double homework again, because for some reason they withdrew him from class the day before when Aly had a Dr.’s appointment, Aly had a kneeache, Eenan was excited about a book he was reading and was telling me about it, Emily was her jumpy Emmos self and was all over the place ♥.

– Jorge got home and helped Jaylen with his homework. He calmed down a whole lot and it was nice to see them bond over math problems hehe.

– I downloaded eBooks for Eenan, converted them to the correct format, downloaded the app and now I can transfer them to his phone (will do that tonight when we eat dinner!).

– Emily and Aly painted.

– We all ate and the kids lounged around.

– Mario came for them :(.

– My babe and I watched TV with Emily for a bit and then we started working out. She watched us and then said, “I’m going with Gramma” and left LOL.

– It was a killer! We upped our weights and we did more reps than the week before. I was winded by the end.

– We searched for his flip-flops all over the house. Went to the garage and something skittered in a cardboard box. We both jumped and ran to the door (he’s a tough guy, but it’s so adorable how little spiders and mice scare him LOL!). We threw Ruffles out there–who’s usually eager to run into the garage–but he sniffed around a bit and with gigantic eyes, ran back inside and just stared at us like, “Are you serious? I’m not going in there!”

– We went to get water and we laughed and joked all the way to the store while downloading music. When we got home, as we’re parking in the driveway, he told me to listen to “Amen” by Eden’s Edge. I got teary, it was such a nice song. He said he listened to it that entire day and it reminded him of us, aww :*). He’s the sweetest ♥!

– Emily was amazing the next morning. She ate her cereal with a big smile on her face and gave us hugs and kisses and DIDN’T CRY when we left for work!! She was wonderful!

– Jorge and I left for work together (both went in at 9!) and we stopped for some Subway. Love mornings like this. Reminds me of when I lived in Palmview last year and we’d drive to work together ♥.

– Work was awesome and the day went by FAST. Ran some errands and listened to “Amen” the whole time :).

…ran out of time!!!

Recovering

Updating during lunch again. I should really make this a habit. I just had one of the best lunches ever, but that could probably be because I was positively starving since I only had hazelnut coffee for breakfast (completely unintentional; I brought my banana and oatmeal but was running around all over the place getting things ready for this Saturday’s event that I never got a chance to sit down and eat 🙁 ).

But yes. Leftover homemade chipotle tortilla soup and white corn tortillas slathered with Laughing Cow cheese (2 wedges) and raspberry chipotle salsa. I can feel the heartburn creeping up my esophagus. Totally worth it :D.

We gotta get back on the ball tonight and work out. I had a massive headache all day yesterday. Apparently my body is aging and staying up till 4am on Saturday is a big no-no. I didn’t really sleep in much the next day either so I’m attributing the headache to lack of sleep.

I had to pick up a prescription for myself after work yesterday, handle another matter and then pick up Mom’s prescription. I was all over the place and it didn’t help my headache one bit. Emily was dropped off after work and she snacked on stuff while I made dinner (bacon and turkey sandwiches with Monterrey Jack cheese and grilled onions & green bell peppers). We sat and watched TV (miracle!) and then Jorge got home and I made his dinner. Emily and I followed him to the bedroom, where he was watching the game and she and I cuddled in bed. The last thing I heard was, “Cutie girls…” before I drifted off. I woke up suddenly (probably during one of Jorge’s outbursts ’cause the Cowboys were winning :P) and tried sitting up to stay awake. Jorge said to take a nap, sleep off the headache. He’d wake me up when the game was over so we could work out.

I woke up at 11:15…and we were all passed out on the bed, including Ruffles LOL. I transferred Ems to her bedroom and then we showered and went to sleep. I slept till around 7:30 and felt like a million bucks! We’re gonna try and double our workout tonight. My pants are fitting loose from the few workouts we get in per week and from eating mostly homemade meals; I’d like to know what my results would be if we actually worked out every day!

Ok. Back to the grind!
