Such a hectic week



I felt sooo agravated this whole week. I kept making so many dumb mistakes that made me so angry at myself! Nicole's first day of school (formally) was Tuesday. We were supposed to take them with tags on their clothes (for the first few weeks only). So, the Round Up day, I scrapbooked a nice tag for one of her friends, Jake, who came to play. Well, I forgot to scrapbook my own daighter's tag!!!! Oh, I was sooo angry that she had to take a plain printed one that daddy had to make in a hurry, because to top it off, I couldn't wake myself up that morning! ARRRGH!
So, Wednesday I finally made one (early in the morning, mind you. I don't know why was I so exhausted all week!) In any event, I just felt so dumb and such a neglecting parent. I know, it's just a tag, but it was the fact that I didn't have it ready.
Anyways, I'm trying to work out a way to keep Coco with me after school. When I took this new job, helping the agency I interpret for, from home, the whole idea was to have my kids with me. Well, that is not possible, since I need all my attention on my job, so I have to take Connor to daycare, which breaks my heart. But at least I wanted to have Coco, but I needed to do a reality check...
It's not working! She's just too loud with her friends around. And having her alone, means that she is glued to the TV. It's nice friendly channels, PBS kids Sprout and Noggin, but still, it's just not fair to her to be here by herself. But then again, I took such a paycut for this, and it's just not working. I feel so frustrated! I want her to be here with me, but it seems like it won't work out...
Anyways. I guess this is going to be a decision I'll have to ponder some more. In the meantime, here are some pics of Coco on Tuesday.

Still ALIVE...

... but swamped with fabrics and paint. It's kind of funny, I ordered some fabric online from Joann, and then when it arrived, I really didn't like it. See, I'm making new curtains for the back door (it's one of those sliding doors and we used to have blinds there), new pillow covers (because we got new slipcovers for the couches) and I'm re-upholstering the dinning room chairs. And so, I ordered different fabrics that I thought would match. Very orangy-yellowish, those are the colors we chose for staging the house. Anyways, when I saw the fabric, I was very tempted to return it, but instead, I started the first chair today... And I think it looks AWESOME!!! I just finished cutting all the fabric for the back of the chairs, tomorrow I'll be busy sewing. Can't wait to see the first one finished. I'm actually getting EXCITED! Bought a couple of lamp shades, too, and I'm almost done painting the tables black (coffee and end tables). Of course, the kids ...

We will be having a totally lazy 4 th of July. Brian just came back from his trip last night, and I think he must be needing a lot of rest. He's loving his new job, but since he really is very good at "fixing" accounts, every time he fixes one and he's starting to enjoy the fruits of his work, another one gets "broken", so he has to go in and fix that one as well. It's nice that he gets such a good reputation in his industry, and it's great that he gets to know so many new people, because it's always good to have such a network of contacts, but it's really exhausting. Anyways, a few days ago I went to buy a watermelon, because we all are fans (big time!). We come home, our mouths watering, and we open it to this... WHAT??? Cesar was brave enough to try it, but I just cannot bring myself to eat some yellow watermelon flesh. It does taste the same, but I just couldn't have more than a bite or two. I'll have to give it a try again toda...

A few weeks ago, after work, I heard Brian scolding Cesar. (If you don't know it, Brian and I work from home, so my office is just a few steps from the kitchen, so i can hear pretty well) He was starting to sound VERY unhappy, especially because Cesar wouldn't own up to his mistake. OUCH! So, here I come into the kitchen and start listening in: BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Are you hording them? Did you hide them?" CESAR: "Brian, I didn't take them, really" BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Coco and Connor can't reach them. Mom wouldn't take them, and they did NOT grow legs". ME: "What are you guys talking about?" BRIAN: "It's just that we had the gumballs' container almost to the middle this morning, and now, there's barely one layer of them. The only one who could have done it is Cesar, and he won't even tell the truth!" ME: "Eh... mmmhhhh ... did we have t...
