Today was a day that included things gone right and things gone wrong. In a nutshell, the kids had an early dismissal (12:45) and I picked up Adam and his friend without asking his mom. His mom was ok but I got a call from Wushu said its not OK. Took the kids for some aqua frescas and amber got a free drink. It was another hot day and just didnt really have the motivation to cook. We ordered Lins Club for dinner and she gave me a complimentary dish because she had extra. Amber was screaming and mad while I really wanted to just go to the supermarket. Was able to took her with me and she fell asleep in the car.
Came back and Adam was setting up the table and gave all of us a cup of water. He helped me get the food in and it's good to know that he approves the dinner. If he doesnt like the food, he will go on strike. I took Amber in and gave her a spa treatment (bubble bath, lights off, candles lit and music) This always works.
Ashley now needs to show every day because when we feed her, she tends to grab her hair at the end of the meal. Maybe she gets tired of sitting and eating. I try to put her down to sleep between 8 to 9PM. She wakes up around 7AM. She came back with a fever from our trip and broke out in rashes. Luckily, the rashes are all gone and she is sleeping much better tonight.
Today I called an old business friend and his kids are now in college. He told me that the kids get better with each age. There is always something to enjoy and it's amazing that they can become your friend. I think it is so true. I love all their ages and I can't wait to see who they become when they grow older. I love their logic, common sense and responses. For example when I told Alice and Adam about the case I am involved in for uncle, I loved how Alice said - But it was an accident! He didnt know. Adam then goes, sell the property and divide the proceeds. Believe me, hanging a lawsuit for family for a large sum of money with multiple plaintiffs and a nasty lawyer is the most stressful thing. I really hope this case can settle.
I am just rambling on because there is so much going on in my mind. This heat wave this week is very unbearable. It just sucks up all the energy and that motiviation to cook stems all from love. When i am in a bad mood, I just dont know what to make. Then everyone starts to be lost and when you see the kids start reading, you just dont want to drag them out.
Its been so hard for the kids to wake up on time and get ready for school. Tonight, all of them actually all slept by 9:30PM. Ashley actually, for the first time now, nurses and rolls around and falls asleep on her own. She has been asleep, uninterrupted, since 9:30PM and it's really the first time! She has been whining a bit but she went back to to sleep! I am so excited about that!
