alone

I feel like today was the first day I operated solo and succeeded. Matthew was off. Luckily I feel like I got everything I wanted accomplished. We even got to leave on time today.
I call it a success.

I was pretty disappointed in my dinner tonight it sounded like it would be so good reading the recipe. Maybe I will try and make it again another day. It didn't turn out how I hoped it would, but then I also didn't follow the recipe exactly. That may have something to do with it. lol. O well. Maybe next time it will turn out better.

Not really much else to report that I can think of tonight. It stinks we did not get to talk today. Maybe tomorrow?
I hope you have a good day. I love you! Good night

shipt

Well we got our first "delivery" today.
It was pretty awesome. The lady text me when she was leaving, text me when she got to the door and helped me carry everything inside. UMMMM...could you be more helpful. Anyway, we get 2 weeks free...so I figured why not. But it was nice. Lily and Christian don't like it because they like to pick out our fruits and veggies and they can't do this if someone else does it for us.
But...fun fact...on the fruit page I put 1ct of bananas...thinking that would be 1 bushel right? That makes sense to me. Nope...wrong...I got ONE count em ONE banana. LOL. I couldn't help but laugh....o you literally wanted to know how many bananas I wanted. Well the answer is more than one.

Christian has recently become very self conscious of his body. Which is fine I guess. But he has been shirtless since saturday because we were at the pool and then he was sick and just wore basketball shorts all weekend. Well anytime anyone...besides me...would get close to him with his shirt off he would freak and tell them to look away because they can see his boobs. I tried to assure him that boys don't have boobs and if they did they couldn't walk around shirtless but never the less he's terrified of people seeing his "moobs" LOL

So everyone was able to eat dinner tonight without getting sick so that was good...well except Addison she threw all hers on the floor as fast as it was given to her. This kid...I'm just going to start giving her an empty plate and then pieces of my food so she thinks she is getting something special. She's gonna get real hungry, real fast once she isn't on formula anymore. Im surprised whiskey isn't fat yet...she doesn't even taste her food, she just immediately throws it all on the floor.

Anyway I have to open tomorrow so I need to go to bed. I love you! Good night!

Mortified

Never going back to the pool again...
Ok maybe that is an over exaggeration.

So anyway, shortly after we got off the phone another man asked those guys to leave. So anyway they left and went to another street and sat there listening to their gangster rap music. They must have been doing something, but who cares they left. Well now the pool is nice and peaceful and the kids are being crazy. All of a sudden lily gets out and her lips were crazy blue and she said she was cold and wanted to go home. So I told her she was a party pooper and to lay down to warm up. Almost immediately after that Christian comes up and says his tummy hurts he wants to go home. Well you guys are no fun...fine lets go home. So I'm packing up...and bleh. Christian yaks all over the patio, like 5 times. OMG! Thank God Jacey's boys were there...Mark got a garbage can out of the bathrooms and helped me clean everything up. Lily takes the baby to the car, Christian goes to the car, Mark and I finish cleaning the patio. We get home and Christian goes to the shower I ask for Lily's help getting the pool stuff put away so I can change the baby and put her down for a nap. Then I hear more puking. So I am talking to who I think is Christian through the baby monitor asking if he is ok. Well it wasn't Christian. It is Lily...now she is puking too. Luckily she made it to the bathroom.
So now they have a stomach bug. Neither one of them have stopped vomiting since. It is no fun at all. I tried to give Christian some water because "my throat is so dry" and he threw it all up.

Hopefully it is only 24 hours. But I found out later in the day that mom is in the freaking hospital with the same crap.

My poor babies are so sick. Hopefully they will be better tomorrow and hopefully mom is better soon. It just hit everyone so suddenly and from the sounds it at the same time. Mom wasn't feeling well and got sick the same time the kids did.

I hope your day goes better than ours...lol...I love you! Good night!!

softball

I have never felt as old as I do right.

We had softball practice today which was ok...I am very rusty. VERY!

Anyway...so the field we practice on (the one next to the branch) is not in good shape so I decided I wasn't going to play that hard because 1) it's practice 2) this field is garbage.
I still hurt. It's not even the next day and I hurt.

But it went good. I am playing first again this year. We have to find another female to play infield too, we have to have two in the infield. These rules are crazy. The field is split 5 men 5 women.

So at Christian's practice tonight one of the mom's has the cutest lil Shih Tzu puppy and Addison was so excited to see him. She kept yelling "DOG" "DAT DOG" "DOG!"
It was super cute. I had some shirts made for her and Lily that came in tonight. I am super excited about them. I will have to show them to you later.

Anyway not much else to report. I am super tired and have to open tomorrow. Hopefully I get to talk to you tomorrow. I enjoyed talking to you today. I miss you!

I love you! Good night

Break...

Break....What is a break?
If Monday were a person...





She'd look something like this.

So today started so smooth. What are you doing today? Well I am going to work on the schedule and do some teller observations...it's going to be a good day. FALSE!
Today was so good, then all of a sudden...SHE comes in. The she who ripped my face off last week because she is rude and ignorant.
She comes in and she is on the phone with the contact center because she wants everyone to know how "mean and nasty that assistant manager is"
UGH! FO REAL!


I can only appropriately handle this situation with memes.

Anyway the "newish" teller gets and gives her exactly what she wants. So when I pull her aside and ask her why she didn't follow procedure. "Well....ummmm....well she was angry and causing a scene and she was on the phone with corporate office"

UMMMMMMM FALSE!
One we don't have a "corporate office" we are not some super villain corporation. Two she was on the phone with the contact center...who are they...they are telephone tellers.
"Well they told me not to do it?"
O Really? You talked to them?
"Well no, she told me they said"
Ok Well I need you to go read her acct notes now, and for future reference you need to CYA and if you are going to make exceptions like that...you need to speak to the person who is "okaying" them. Not hearsay.

Ugh...just ugh!



Anyway, that was my day in a nut shell. I hope you have a good day. I missed talking to you the last couple days.
I love you!!
Good night.

All Stars

This was a longgggggggggg weekend. It's funny I am looking forward to going to work on monday so I can get a break. I can't remember the last time I had an energy drink...and I was so tired today I had to ask the kids dad to bring me one to the game. I was flat exhausted.

But it was a good day today...our boys crushed those other teams. One of them they absolutely annihilated. They played really good. Christian's bats are really on fire lately. He hit amazing today! I cannot stop watching the videos I took today. He is getting really good. They are teaching him how to be a catcher. Not just a stand back and watch the balls come in....like an actual catcher. He loves it. I am excited for this knights season. With that being said...I HAVE TO REMEMBER TO PUT SUNSCREEN ON! I put it on everyone except myself

I am pretty sure my face is burned too. But I haven't looked in a mirror since I've come home.

So much pride is in my heart for this little boy.

So as if I didn't have enough on my plate. I've had to start packing Addison's lunch too. I put it off and debated so long about it. But I have to. I buy so much fruit and veggies for Addison to eat for lunch and mom feeds her garbage 5 days a week. Saying she doesn't know what to give her. WHAT?! HOW?! Give her a banana, a pear, an apple, an orange. For real. I threw away so much fruit and veggies this week. So tonight I made her some frittatas for tomorrow and sliced a kiwi. So hopefully this will help cut down on the wasted food and on the garbage she eats.

Well I hope you have a good day. Sorry I haven't been writing much. I'll get better about it. I love you!

Home

It feels good to be here.
I did however have to come home and crash clean though...because I forgot to tell you. Jacey referred her cleaning lady here. So she is coming tomorrow to view the house.

Soooo....I have got to be the best baseball mom ever! LOL. I feel like I fail as a real mom but I am wayyyyy up there as a sports mom. I got Christian's glove all broken in. You would never look at this glove and think it has been in our possession less than 24 hours. It is soft and flexible. I have a ball wrapped up in it right now shaping the pocket. But this hot oil treatment was awesome!

I had another episode with mom. Hopefully this gets better when you are back and she won't "be required to work such long hours".

So Christian got fitted for his knights uniform tonight! So originally we were getting 2, now Coach is saying we may only get one depending on the most popular. The black ones are cool, but the white ones are AMAZING! I hope we get them both, but if we only get one I really hope we get the white one. And that I can keep Christians white.
So right when I thought I was going to get a nice relaxing Saturday with the kids at the pool....FALSE! I have been asking their father for weeks now if he was going to take Lily to the daddy/daughter dance. He never answered me. Well he told me today TWO days before the dance he will be picking her up at 4. Now...while I am happy he is taking...WTH man!? Must you wait until the last freaking minute. UGH!

I am sure I have more to tell you but I cannot remember it all. I am tired.

Good night! I love you!
