Aloha friends!

I actually had time to read this week, yay! It was still a long week – my sprinklers by the sidewalk is finally fixed, the tree roots damaged the pipe there. Boo! But I’m just glad it’s fixed. It was a short school week but for some reason felt long to me. Then I had to run around on Saturday with an orthodontist appointment for me son and a pool party for my daughter’s classmate. They were both supposed to have Sunday school today but my daughter is running a low grade fever since we got caught in the rain at the pool party. We were wet…which was fine since we were in the pool, but the cold because the sun was setting by then…so not good. We both got chilled but she’s the one with the fever today. My son woke up with allergies that are making him sniffle and cough (he kind of still has a lingering cough from having covid last month). So yes…sick kids again! lol…it never seems to end. Hope all of you are staying healthy!

Hope you all had a good week!

Aloha friends!

Here we are in September and things are just nonstop busy…STILL. I had dinner with friends yesterday which was fun, but also my daughter has a cold? I’ve been testing her for covid and it’s negative even though her cough sounds just like her brother did when he had covid. So I guess she has a cold with lots of coughing. Trying to get her better so she can go to school on Tuesday, because she loves school. Other than that, I didn’t have a chance to read much.

Hope you all had a good week!

Shows/Movies I Watched:

• House of Dragons (Hbo/Max) – the drama continues!
• Partner Track (Netflix) – lawyer drama – I was getting so mad at Ingrid though! I love her besties Tyler and Rachel – their storylines were so good. It had a great ending though and can’t wait to watch season 2! I could never be a lawyer – too much stress!
• Lord of the Rings – The Rings of Power (Amazon) – cinematography is gorgeous!

I’m loving all these fantasy shows out right now! House of Dragons is dark as heck…and The Rings of Power is more light than dark to me…so I love that I get both to keep me entertained.

Why is my calendar so full? My kids are well and back at school, my son turned 10 yesterday! We had some family over, food, cake and gifts. He’s hard to shop for because he pretty much has everything. I went to Target on Thursday and they had the Halloween aisles set and half filled! Wow…here come the holidays! Hope all of you had a good week – I hope I have a chill week this week!

Hope you all had a good week!

It was a COVID week for me. My son tested positive last Sunday and had to stay home all week from school. He is doing much better today, thank goodness – he had a fever the first 2 days and then the coughing. He’s coughing less now. It was a 4 day weekend for the kiddos anyway. My daughter also had to stay home from school because she’s a close contact – so she was bored and missed school a lot. I had to put on my nursing hat this week, one of many that moms wear lol…😅. It was a long week.

My son’s birthday is this Saturday so we’ll have a small celebration here at home with just our immediate family. I didn’t plan anything just in case my daughter caught Covid and had to quarantine for longer but so far she’s been negative. We’ll do something more fun for him labor day weekend probably.

Hope you all had a good week!

Aloha friends!

I don’t know how I feel more tired with my kids in school?! I think because drop off and pick up is me leaving the house early in the morning and then waiting awhile in the car in the afternoon – why is school pick up always chaos?! My daughter loves school so much! So her sunburn on her nose is peeling – I’m curious to see how school pictures look – they were taken on Tuesday and I tried my hardest to cover it up with concealer and powder lol. Oh well, it is what it is! At least we’ll look at the picture and remember the weekend before picture taking and her skin is peeling now so it’s healing at least.

Our dog Atlas, has been getting more cuddle times with me and walks too. But he misses the kids, at night he plops right on top of my daughter’s legs to go to sleep.

Today we have another birthday party at an outdoor location – and I’m making her wear a hat! It is just too hot to be outside right now, and I need her skin to heal. Other than that, I’m just trying my best to keep chugging along. 😩 Our fridge stopped cooling down so I had to buy a mini fridge and I turned it off to defrost the whole thing (you know a restart lol) so let’s hope that works because it’s hard trying to find a repairman lately. Other things happened but I’m tired of the negative, so I’ll end it here.

Hope you all had a good week!
