Aloha friends!
Another week is over and here’s what happened:
+ HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all you mama’s out there, whether it be to your own child, furbabies, other pet babies, your nieces/nephews – if you are a mother figure, Happy Mother’s Day. I told my hubby I wanted books as my gift, so he’s giving me money to buy some YAY. I think I’m going to use it to get the Legendborn books (I only have Legendborn in hardcover – or should I wait until the whole series is out? 🤔). Anyway I’m excited to add to my collection. We are going to my mom’s house today to celebrate Mother’s Day and my sister’s birthday early.
+ It was a long week because my son’s “cold” turned into a fever/cough/he basically was fighting some virus. And yet he went to school because he had an advanced placement test he didn’t want to miss, then a National test the next day and then he has been waiting for e-sports try-outs. I was trying to hard to get him better! Made him tea with honey and lemon, picked him up from school on the days he went (usually he walks home). So I was being nurse mom all week and then we also had to go to his orthodontist because he is done with his invisalign (yay!) and will be starting retainers soon! And yes they knew he was getting over a cold but it’s so hard to reschedule these things so my son toughed it out and did well! Didn’t have to cough or sneeze while his session.
+ I did go to my Korea Shopping Tour luncheon last Sunday and it looks like a fun group. It’s 29 of us – 4 of them men (husbands lol). The 2 bigger groups are families with kids, parents, and a grandparent – so cute! So I’m just counting down to that trip.
I hope you all have a great week!

Happy Mother’s Day! Hope your son is feeling better.
Thank you so much! He is finally getting rid of the congestion. He still has a cough but hopefully that will go away in the next few days.
