Mom Duties!
I’m getting over a cold right now and Mabs is kneading on my stomach while I’m wrapped in my comfy chevron blanket, my legs curled up on Jorge’s lap. I wish I could stay like this for the rest of the week, watching Fixer Upper on HGTV.
Today was the first “cool” day of the season, the high topping 78 as opposed to our usual 100+ degrees.
It was hot last Thursday when we went to the boys’ football game:
It was thr opposing school’s Homecoming and they went all out with a parade, food trucks, etc. The Littles, Jaylen and I had to leave early since he still had projects to do and the Littles still needed to shower. I am so proud of that boy; he completes every single bit of work he needs to do for his classes, and he hasn’t even started Dual Enrollment yet!
Friday when I had to work at the Food Park during Karaoke was another scorcher, but the kids had fun:
We had sushi from TaiHu Sushi Truck, Alaethia had a baked potato from Los Brothers and we had aguas de sandia from Tamales Beba. Jaylen didn’t finish his, so I drank it. Aaaaand that’s when I got sick 🙁 . I was over-confident in my usually impenetrable immune system, and went for it, but this cold is kicming my butt!
So I drowned myself in Vitamin C and tried to sweat the sickness out by going for a jog with Sally on Saturday. And my knee didn’t give out, woo!
My love made dinner while we were at the park.
The next day was spent cleaning and helping Alaethia and Jaylen with projects. So off to the library we went to print stuff.
The current art exhibit is by Mario Godinez and I am in love!
Those were just a few of my faves!
I vowed I wouldn’t be doing projects all day Sunday but you know how that goes!
Sally came over for a bit and I helped her with her hair. And my love made dinner again! 😀 Shrimp Alfredo this time.
I dropped the boys off on Sunday night, as much as I hate to lose any time with them 🙁 . But it’s unfair to all of them to have to wake up at 5:30am just so I won’t be late to work.
Monday flew by, even though I felt like crap all day. The rainy weather made me wish I was home, but I still had to go return stuff at Kohl’s after work for the girls.
I had a dentist appointment after I dropped the girls off at school. Went to work with my mouth numb, but I survived. Left work early for Alaethia’s cheerleading outfit fitting. Even though it’s expensive, cheerleading was something I always wanted to do, but was too poor to. So I wanted to make this possible for her. Thankfully, her dad, dad’s mom and my mom also chipped in to register her! We’ll see how it goes with this new adventure for all of us!
After the fitting, Jenny and I took the girls to the library and then we came home, where they did their homework and played to their heart’s content.
We chilled out and had pizzas and watched Fixer Upper. And now I must go to bed and mentally prepare for a presentation I volunteered for tomorrow morning. Hope the day flies by!
