Can you believe it is 10/10/10?!?! Another 100 yrs before that will happen. I hope nothing weird happened today that I just haven't heard about yet. Again this am J was whiny and not behaving well. A was eating well and J wanted fruity pebbles too but I guess he thought I put too much milk in his bowl and he was not happy and wouldn't eat... He also wasn't minding D this am so he had to stay home from church. Linda's back was hurting from picking up J yesterday so she didn't go to church with us.
Dad & I dropped A off at her classroom and enjoyed church service by pastor Chuck on the 1st chapter of Romans (~ vs 8-17). Chuck has a good memory - he remembered Dad lives in MO! After church I gave A the option of going hm w/GP or staying & going into another SS class for 2nd service. She wanted to stay. Dad went home and I chatted with the Dangels. I attended the class with about 35 others! (Theresa is in the class too.) I really enjoyed the class and look forward to the others. I am bummed I will miss the 3rd class which will be a "meat and potatoes" class compared to today's introductory class.
I got home and Dad had made fresh vegetables, sauted with shrimp and chow mein noodles. It was really good. It didn't need soy sauce on it but I love the salty flavor... :)
About 1:15 I was super tired and went to lay down. I know that Dee came over around 2. I didn't get up till about 3:30 - ahhhh.. I had a piece of Dad's homemade bread - :). The kids seemed to be pretty whiny so I wanted J at least to take a nap before AWANA started. He didn't want to go to bed. I guess A's head hurt so she went in and laid down. They both ended up falling asleep. Dee had to leave around 4 to go p/u Gianna.
I went in to wake up the kids at 4:45 for AWANA but A's head still hurt and she stayed in bed. No AWANA tonight. Kim came over close to 5pm. A got up at 5pm and went to Aunt Kimmie to be soothed. Aunt Kimmie was able to get her to take some medicine and also put a bag of peas on her head. I went in at 5:15 and woke J up. It took him a while to wake up but he finally did and wanted to ride his bike. I went with him till dinner was ready.
We had easy garlic chicken, mashed potatoes & gravy, asparagus & black olives. Delish! The kids basically only ate so they could have black olives... I put them both in the bath but they weren't there long as they, again, were not getting along. I had them brush their teeth, put PJ's on, and I read them a couple books. Aunt Kim said her goodbyes to the kids as she was leaving. I asked D to make sure the kids had gone to the restroom and to read a book J picked out. He did and put them to bed.
I started reading Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath. I kissed the kids goodnight then took my assessment on line. My talents are: Adaptability, Empathy, Harmony, Consistency & Positivity.
It is 10:45 and A just woke up wimpering. I hope her head isn't still hurting her. She went to the bathroom and went back to bed and is quiet. Maybe she was just wishing she didn't have to get out of bed to go to the bathroom...???
I printed out a report from my test so I might read that a bit before going to bed. :)

(Writing on 10/10 for yesterday...) I woke up early wanting to go to WalMart and Darin mentioned going as well. However, J was in a mood. GP made a lot of yummy pancakes for b-fast. :) D walked over to Vons just with A to go to the bank. He picked up milk and eggs while he was there.
Linda &I ended up taking the kids to WalMart to get some items including a gift for Alex (Alessandra). A saw a classmate who was there buying a gift for Alex as well. The party started at 11 but we didn't get to Nobel Park until about 12:30. The kids had a good time with getting their face painted, hitting the pinata, playing on the playground, eating cake and getting candy and party favors. I had a really good burger while I was there. Some of the kids were going swimming afterwards but we didn't have the kids suits.
I was so tired when I got home that I had to go sleep. I only laid down for about an hour and I kept hearing the kids arguing so I didn't get much rest.
I dressed A up as a princess and took her (@ 5pm) to E Clmt Baptist Church for dinner, Veggie Tale movies & crafts. I came home and Dad had made my recipe for fish with sour cream & dill. I hadn't made it before but it was so good!
We put J to sleep before picking up A. I got her at 8pm and she was ready for bed. I don't remember staying up late last night so I think I made it to bed around 10 or 10:30...

Boy, even with it being darker out in the mornings it seems like the kids (&Darin) wake up earlier! D got in the bath & A asked to get in with him then J asked to get in with him. D was out before the water was done running!
D & A left around 6:40 am. J wanted to take his cubby book to Ms. Teresa's but not his blankies. I saw the lamb out in the garage and had aleady put Jake in the car with his door closed, so I put the lamb up to the window like he wanted in. Jake just laughed and when I gave him the lamb he just hugged it and laughed. :)
J didn't want me to leave until Ms. Teresa asked him if he wanted to go on a walk - YEAH!!! I got into work a little earlier than my usual 8am, 7:45. Kim brought us over some goodies for Halloween time. Christina and Cindy got big Halloween mugs filled with goodies. I got a Halloween bowl with 2 dish towels, 3 small candles, a spider candle, stickers, and some goodies. It was such a busy day today with a fellowship mtg, MD appt, CF team mtg, urgent rqst from ML to put in ck rqst for translation svcs for CFFD tomorrow and let him know he wouldn't be getting paid tomorrow. MSP had urgent rqst for mtg for the CF site visit. It was so busy I hardly got to read any emails or EPIC msgs. Christina told me that she feels as though I have been gone 3 days now - I feel that way too. I got the ok to do some work tomorrow if I have the time.
Sad news today - there was a shooting at an Elementary school in Carlsbad. The 2 kids were brought to CH. I only know about a shooting in the arm so I don't know if both kids were shot in the arm. I just pray that they are ok and I am grateful for the construction worker/s who stopped him. Who knows what damage he might have done.
I bought airline ticket to Chicago for the fellowship conference (which will be 10/25), paid for hotel and registration.
We got home and D & A were here. A got out left over taquitos and I made J 2 hard eggs & a slice of cheddar cheese. D&I had an egg sandwich. I took the kids over to the Beatty's for Bible Study at 6:30 pm. I was with the kids tonight (along with Donna). They played, we did a little Bibe study, the kids watched Lilo & Stitch 2 and played some more. A fell asleep at 8:30 and the study was over about 8:40pm. J had a HUGE cookie (I helped him with it) - we LUV chocolate chip... :) I woke A up and had her go to the bathroom before bringing them hm. D carried her straight to bed when we got home. J seemed full of energy but went to bed ok. :) D went to bed too! It is 10:50. I should be thinking about going to bed but I don't want to yet...

It's my birthday! WOW - 43 now... :) I got A dressed and breakfast. D took her to school. Dee called and sung happy b-day to me. Mom called asking about my day. I went to Doyle from 8-9:15 or so for a parent coffee where the principal and vice principal talk about what is going on.
I got home and Dad had been playing riding bikes w/J. D came home and pumped up my tires. I called Mom back who asked me over for breakfast. Dad said he would continue to watch J as D was in our bedroom working and/napping.
Mom had made eggs with red peppers, toast with jelly, fruit cups, & crispy bacon - it was a really good breakfast. She gave me a card with a painting of Elim Chapel on the front, a little zip wallet from Morris, IL and a CELEBRATE plate. :) I said hi to Grandma while I was there too. I got back home about noon. Linda had made rhubarb cake and it smelled so good! Dad had walked to the store with Jake and got some milk and ??? They said that J had eaten lunch aleady and had eaten well.
At 1pm we all laid down for a nap. D woke me up around 2:30 asking when they had swim (swim was yesterday) and he went back to sleep - thanks Darin... I heard J up with GP so I got up too. I typed up my CF mtg minutes from September as the next is tomorrow! J was on starfall.com during my time on the computer. D had left around 4 to pick up A and at 4:40 I had J get off the computer as she was due home any minute. When A got home I got J ready (he had gotten himself undressed from the waist down which isn't unusual...)
We went to Moonbeams from 5-6 (Gabriella was there). We came home and Linda had made chicken rice casserole for dinner - it was so good! I opened my present before we started eating (2 sets of PJ's which I love!) I read stories to the kids (while they were eating some more). We had rhubarb cake with the hot white sauce - oh I loved it! J liked it better without the sauce.
D had the kids brush their teeth and put on PJs (I helped J). They didn't go to bed as easily as I thought they would but I sang to them a SHARK song they learned at Moonbeams today. After singing that a few times they went to bed pretty easily.
I was really looking forward to watching a Netflix movie mom gave me to bring home and watch - Letters to Julia, but it wouldn't work - it is a Blue Ray. :( I checked my FB, did a Word Challenge game and did the best ever on my 1st try so I stopped and checked my work emails till 10:45. It is 11:15 now and I need to get to bed!

Darin was up at 5am. I told him if he wanted to go to work early I would take A to school since it is Wed. D said he was going to put a lunch together for A (he thought it was 6am). He stuck around and took A to school himself.
I had some bfast w/J then we played a couple games of Don't Break the Ice. J played about 15 min on the computer while I cleaned some then he started playing with legos. D could see that I was really tired so he offered to watch J while I laid down again. It was 9am. I remember waking up wondering who turned the light on but it was light outside and I was wondering why it was light outside. I looked at my watch and it was 9:11!! I napped till 10:30. D and taken J outside to ride his bike. J&I went to Party City and picked up party stuff for A. We came home and had lunch. J had egg salad and was finished before we even sat down. We had fried egg sandwiches - even D came home for lunch! D went back to work. D&L, J&I drove up to Mira Mesa looking for a WalMart Supercenter - it was a wild goose chase. I called Angelica Saldana and she confirmed there was no D&L had drove separately so J&I left and went to p/u A from SAY. I saw Ms. Archuleta first and I am not listed to be a volunteer yet. A, J & I came home. We were here long enough for A to eat some of her sandwich, we had banana & nuts. We then went swimming. J did not want to go at all - boy was he throwing a fit. He was fine within 1-2 min after being in the water. He was swimming, waving to me, jumping in from the side... A always likes to go swimming and she was doing very well today. I was amazed at how fast she was going while doing the "Dolphin" swim (she had goggles and fins on.) She was fast but she kept having to stop because she kept catching up to the girl swimming in front of her.
I had them shower and change and we came home. D&L still weren't home. I had just looked up my recipe for fish with sour dill sauce when L called asking about dinner. They ended up getting toquitos for the kids and burritos for the adults. Of course I got a carne asada - YUMMY.
The kids took a quick bath, brushed their teeth, got their PJs on and we watched the 2nd half of Bedtime Stories - :). They went to bed easily. D&L watched Undercovers. I watched it while checking my emails. Darin got hm at 8:40pm, ate his carne asada burrito and went to bed. I am earlier than most nights - it is only 9:18 right now! Not sure if that means I will get to bed anytime soon...

I believe we got to bed at about 11:30 last night - not as bad... :) I don't think that Darin slept at all - he said not till 6am then J came into our bedroom at 6:22. He got in our bed and I went out and woke A up so she could have b-fast. J came out soon after and I heard D in the bath. He came out stating he had to leave so to hurry and get A ready. This is the 1st day we didn't make a lunch for her. D said this was rediculous trying to get A to school in time. They left and I called SDUSD transportation and was told to call Doyle directly. I called Doyle and lvm for a c/b.
I took J to Ms. Teresa's (he thought we were going to "his house" though) so he wasn't happy. He was fine soon after getting there though. I had a very busy, very productive day at work but didn't get done till 5:05. I got J and saw Michelle there. She isn't too happy with having Cheyenne there. She is only 18 mos and cries from the time she picks her up till the time she goes to bed. There isn't any discipline at Ms. Teresa's so whenever she doesn't get her way at home she throws a screaming fit.
J&I got home and D&A were already home. :) D&L made homemade pizza and boy was that delicious! D went to bed (at least doing computer work as he has to present on Friday.) We had ice cream for dessert then J&A took a bath. GP read stories to them then they went to bed. I checked on A around 10:30 as she had been coughing and she was sleeping on the floor. I put her back in bed. We watched NCIS (2 of them), The Good Wife and some news. I was busy catching up on my yahoo emails during that time. It is no 11:25 and probably time for bed (D&L just went to bed).

D woke up at ~ 6:25 and took a bath. He came out at 6:45 and was wanting to hurry A to school and she wasn't even awake yet! He woke her up. I had her clothes set out (pics today!) and had made her a simple lunch last night. She got dressed and I brushed her hair and she & D were pretty much out the door. She didn't even get to see GP before she left!
J saw my egg salad sandwich in the fridge and wanted some of it. I made him 1/2 sandwich and he gobbled it down and wanted more but it was time for us to leave by that time. I dropped him off at Ms. Teresa's and went to work.
Nothing really big happened at work today. It was a good day, busy. It seems as though I am starting to catch up more and more. Since the meeting with Rachel I have been given a new duty of getting prior auths for CF lab tests. They are kind of time consuming. I was told it would be rare for me to get them but today was my 3rd or 4th request in about 2 wks time. Darin called me from home during his lunch. He doesn't like the fact that nobody seems to have time to go out and get a simple cup of coffee or jamba juice or whatever. It would definitely be nice if there was more camaraderie.
I picked up J and he had 2 small yogurts then came home and had a guava. He wanted more guava before he finished his first one! I didn't let him as D&L were making dinner. Fried potatoes and onions (delicious!) and fish sticks - YUM! I made some tarter sauce to go with them. D & A got home soon after we started eating. Everyone ate well.
I ran over to the church real quick to turn in my 2nd hat and to be shown again how to start a hat. I started another baby hat and was informed that they were trying to finish 150 hats for the homeless in 1 wk. I took dark brown and green yarn and other things I needed for an adult hat. When I got home the kids were ready to brush their teeth and go to bed. They both seemed to have more energy. A had told D she just wanted to go to bed when she got home and she had been very whiny at the dinner table. I had put her in time out for her gremlin and said that she could come out early to finish eating so she could just go to bed early. She told me she had changed her mind and didn't want to go to bed early. (She was just about ready to come out of time out when I left to go to the church.)
We watched Chuck. D&L & I had ice cream. D had yogurt. We watched The Event. By the time that was over I had finished the baby hat! There was another show on and I started the adult hat.
It is 11:30 and I am going to bed!
