David's Birthday
Monday was work all day. I didn't have to teach at night and Fito and I went to do some errands.
Â
Tuesday, I let David stay at home. His birthday is the 23, but he wanted to go to school on his birthday as some friends were planning something for him.
Â
After I was done with work in the morning, we went to a movie, I Was Number Four, and then we went to Chili's to eat. I had the waiters and waitresses sing Happy Birthday to him and it was a nice afternoon just the two of us.
Â
That is what he wanted. I guess when you are continually surrounded by siblings and have to share everything...it is nice to have Mom for yourself once in awhile.
Â
I liked the movie, too. I don't like sci-fi very much and I definitely do not like horror and am apprehensive about suspense movies, so I did not know what to suspect. This had more of an X-men feel to it and I can hardly wait for the sequel, yes, they left us hanging.
Â
Wednesday, I ending up working all day and when I finally got home Fito wanted to go to the city to look for a rim for the Suburban as Felipe hit a curb on Monday and ruined it...they had to take the bus yesterday...is that punishment enough?
Â
We didn't find the rim we needed, but we met with a gentleman who is going to do some stucco work on the house.
Â
My goodness, we are so blessed! Fito has a solid job and I keep being offered more and more work. I even have to turn down jobs, now, and here are people who haven't worked in months and are desperately seeking any work.
Â
This man has had so little work that he is going to do our home for much less than he normally would. (I couldn't afford his normal rate, anyway) but I feel so bad for them. Almost weekly, we receive calls from individuals who are looking for any work, whether to wash my windows, work in the yard, paint something...anything.
Â
We have been eating the leftovers from our visitors. I was going to make goulash yesterday for David, his favorite, but they had already eaten by the time I came home.
Â
I woke up at 5:30 am today. I cleaned the kitchen and made 12 loaves of Poppy Seed Bread. I cleaned my Mom's area and worked on the computer.
Â
I haven't felt well, I have had a sinus infection, and have been sleeping in until 6:30. It was so nice to arise earlier and accomplish more. It always amazes me how you can accomplish more in the early morning than at any other time in the day.
Â
I need to go get ready for work. Have a great day!
