The Lorax & the Countdown

It occurred to me today, as Michelle and I sat at the front desk, that today marks exactly one month till my 30th birthday! 30 days left of my 20’s. I can’t say I’m panicking, or that I feel sad about it. I feel younger than I have in years, and Jaylen says I look 23 so I’ll take it! 😀

It’s been a super relaxing week at work. I’m at the reception desk all week so I’ve spent it answering calls, taking messages, preparing certificates (still), and playing Words By Post with my Babe and Jr. whenever I get a minute throughout the day 😛 Sure does make the time go by fast, thank goodness. I’m proud to announce that I’ve beaten Jorge 12 of 14 games hehe.

I got out a little early yesterday to rush home, change and make sure the kids had dinner and were ready for the movies. We picked up Jorge and headed to Carmike. We made it just on time, got our tickets; got good, albiet close, seats and got all the kids their drinks, popcorn and candy. We were a little skeptical about how things may pan out with 6 kids at the movies, but things went smooth as can be :). They were all well behaved and into “The Lorax”, and the girls only had 1 potty break :).

We got home and the kids played while Jorge and I rushed around sweeping and vacuuming. He finished while I made dinner. We lazied around with the kiddos while we watched The Voice and played Words By Post :P.

I’ve gotten a chance to have lunch with my love this week. We don’t get to anymore since I use my lunch hour to pick up Aly from school, so we’re taking advantage this week, hehe. We’ve had Espi & T’s twice. My fave :).

I got Friday off to spend with the kiddos. Let’s see if we can find something fun and inexpensive to do :). It’s been great having them all home . I don’t think they’d seen sunlight since Monday. I told them all to go outside and spend a few minutes getting some sun while I make dinner (chicken Alfredo). Glad it’s getting dark later now. Really need to get them a swing set or SOMETHING. They’re happy playing tag and climbing trees right now though :).
