Impromptu BBQ

Yesterday (July 3rd) while I was trying to update my blog, doing the laundry, watching t.v. and in the midst of chatting with a friend and my sister, my mother-in-law came by (which I didn't even notice coz I was busy doing the above mentioned stuff) hubby came to me and told me to run to the store and gave me a list. Thank God, I showered already so off I go with my MIL... came back and the grill is ready. All I had to do is to rinse the meat (chicken wings/breast, turkey sausage/burger and steak) that I just bought and seasoned it and throw 'em on the grill. I was a bit upset coz I didn't know that my hubby wanted us to have a little cook-out and invited my MIL. Nevertheless, everything turned out well. My MIL and me whipped up the dinner in probably less than 30 minutes lol! Thanks to canned baked beans, and boxed mac n' cheese and ready made coleslaw and fresh corn :P ... and for dessert, we had fresh fruits and pies. :) So just yesterday, I gained 10 pounds, :D yaiks! Oh well, that's all I can say ehehehehe

Gone Fishing

My two boys just gone fishing and left me in the house hu...hu...hu... oh well, I didn't really wanna go :) I wanted to relax a little bit. Been exhausted at work for the past week so, I feel like I just needed to stay home, get me a nice meal, shower and just relax and vegge out in front of the television. I'm having my little me time of peace and quiet right now :) Yay! It's been a while since I had my "me" time :)

Field Trip

My son is enrolled in our daycare’s summer camp. Usually, their field trip is Friday, but this week it’s Thursday, so tomorrow I have to drop him off at my friend’s house. His daddy didn’t want him to go to the field trip unless I’d go with him, which is a bit impossible at this point coz I can’t take the day off from work. There is a policy at the daycare that if your child can’t join in the field trip, they can’t stay at the daycare coz no one’s going to watch them, which I think is a bit sad. :) Every week they have a field trip, which is somewhat costly for parents like me.

Break Problem

On my way to the Prairie State College to attend special care training, I thought my car’s tire needed some air. When I got to the house, I told him about it. He didn’t get the chance to check it. So I told him again last Monday and he finally checked it out. Unfortunately, he told me that it isn’t air that it needed. It needed new break pads. I thought he could fix it right away. However, he’s already tired from working. So when he gets to the house all he wants to do is to relax a bit and just go to sleep. Since then I am taking a taxicab, which I think is just too expensive ($20/day or a bit more, back and forth). Ouch! And please, don’t ask me why he don’t want it to take it to the shop… he has good reasons. :)

No Choice

Darn! I’m a little tired and I don’t feel like getting up early tomorrow. It’s Saturday, I know, but I have to attend a one-day Special Care Training. So I have no choice. I needed to complete a mandatory 15-hour in-service or continuing education. I already have 9 hours so I need 6 more. Tomorrow is going to be a 7 hour class, which means, I will exceed the mandatory 15. Well, I guess it’s okay. But really!!! I don’t wanna wake up early in the morning!!!

Big 37

One year added to my age. Yes folks! Not ashamed of my age. Today, which is almost over, I turned 37 years old. I am supposed to be off from work but I decided to come in anyway and file my birthday off on June 18th. Nothing fancy happened. My co-workers gave me two birthday cards signed by everybody. Hubby and son gave me two beautiful birthday cards as well and my fave cheesecake. Then I’m off to bed lol! Don’t blame me I’m truly, truly tired ehehehehe

Kuletz Graduation

How time really flies. My Kuletz has just graduated from Kindergarten. Sorry for the pictures. This is one of those days that he didn't want his pics taken, hence, the fake smiles. All he wanted to do is to go home, change his clothes and go to McDonald's. Unbelievable!

not the cutest photo ever

Kingston

Oh my sweet Kingston! He’s so cute in his white tux during the spring show. I wish I had my camera with me and took a picture of him. He is one of my favorite babies in the daycare. He’s a very light skinned boy. He used to be one of our babies in the infant room, but he turned one year old already so he has to move to Room 2. He is so cute! He’s just growing so fast. When I first got at the daycare, he was just a quiet little baby. Now he’s walking, running around, screaming, touching everything. Soon, he’ll be two and have to move to Room 3. :(

The Spring Show

Most of our kids’ parents are waiting for this day. Today is The Spring Show! I can’t wait to see our cute little buggers in their white outfits. I bet they are going to be wonderful. They have been practicing their presentations for months now. One class will be interpreting a Snow White song, the others, one of the songs in the Little Mermaid and more. Sadly, I will not be able to watch them perform coz I am assigned in the baby room (from 6 weeks to 1 year old). Okay gotta go! Don't wanna be late for work :) Later all!

CPR/First Aid Training

Today, I attended my first CPR/First Aid Class. At first I really don't wanna go but unfortunately, we needed it at work, so I have to. I didn't know what to expect coz for me, 8 hours just sitting in a class is kind of boring. But I was totally wrong! The trainer was absolutely wonderful (He's in his sixties). He was funny and really know what he's talking about. There was no dull and boring moment. He made sure that all of us participated in his class. Funny coz he called me his newbie lol! I was one of the 2 participants who never had a CPR training in the past. Most of our classmates were just attending as a refresher course (or just like me at first, had no choice coz it was a requirement in the job) I like his assistant too, a sweet lady, whom after the training told me that she likes pancit ehehehehe. Yeah, the trainer and the assistant asked me if I'm a filipino :) The trainer told me that he used to be married to a filipina and he likes sinigang and pancit too but hated adobo (told him his missing out lol) :)

Thank God that it wasn't a boring class at all! And I'm also thankful for my co-worker who registered me in that class :) Yay! One down, one to go!
