Saturday January 21st
I got up early and we all just spent the morning lounging at home. Gus and I did some minor home improvements to our guest bathroom and needed a few more items to finish it up. We took the kids to Lowes and bought a new medicine cabinet and light fixture. We treated the kids to lunch and Big Bubbas Bad BBQ and finished up our in town trip with groceries at Walmart. We spend the afternoon working at home and playing. A very relaxing and peaceful family time day.
Sunday January 22nd
We did not leave the house, not for anything!
Watch the last playoff games and bet on the winners, Ben guessed write on both.
Monday January 23rd
Ellie and I hung out at home, did chores and cleaned. I went to the dentist, Gus got the kids and we met afterwards at the library to pick out reading books for the week. Took Ellie to gymnastics and the boys rode their unicycles in the parking lot while Abby and I watched inside. Gus went grocery shopping with Ben and the girls and I went home a started dinner. They wanted to help so I let do it all...I mean everything. I just supervised, made suggestions but didn't touch or do a thing! Abby browned ground beef and Ellie made macaroni and cheese and the corn. They set the table and felt very proud to have cooked for the family. I hope they realize the more they can do, the more we'll make them do :)
Tuesday January 24th
Our 8th wedding anniversary!
Not very excited, we both forgot until about lunchtime. We're not big anniversary people.
I worked and Gus took care of the kids and took the big kids to gymnastics in the afternoon.
Wednesday January 25th
I went into work early for a meeting.
Ellie went to the Children's Museum on a school field trip. She said she had fun and loved dressing up in the clothes. She said it was cool and she'd never been there before. She refused to believe that we had a membership just a few years ago and she'd been many times.
Thursday January 26th
Ben had a field trip to the coast to see the elephant seals on the shore. He learned a lot and really enjoyed the trip.
I went to work and the kids hung with dad at home.
Friday January 27th
I slept, Gus picked up the kids. Ellie and I watched a movie on the couch and jumped on the trampoline. She likes when we practice her gymnastics move and makes me pretend to be the teacher. She kept correcting me when I was jumping telling me I needed to keep my legs straight and told me grown ups can't have fun. She said if we did, we were little kids and would play with dolls...she's so funny.
Fun week, very normal and relaxing.

Weekly recap:
Saturday December 31st
Had Christmas with the in laws and nephews. Had posole for dinner and played all afternoon outside with the kids. Kids and Gus stayed until the evening and I went to work. Suffered from the worst migraine in my migraine story used by 30 minute lunch break to pass out in my car. Didn't help that it was a busy New Years Eve night and my working partner also felt under the weather. We suffered through it though, troopers!
Sunday January 1st
Kids had no clue it was a new year, funny how those things have little meaning at that age. Spent the morning hanging out and cleaning. Yoli and the boys came over to play and watch the Raiders game...they lost and also lost their chance of the playoffs. Gus left in the afternoon to visit with Oscar and me and the kids got a relaxing evening alone.
Monday January 2nd
School holiday but momma was ready for school to start again!
Hung out and played at home all morning. Waited for Gus to come home from work and went too see Tin Tin in the movie theater...I do not recommend the movie, kind of a waste.
Ate out at Panda and watched a movie by the fire at home.
I suffered another horrible migraine. So painful I was close to asking Gus to take me to the hospital. He was able to get me to relax by rubbing my head and wrapped a sock tight around my temples.
Tuesday January 3rd
Gus got up at 2 and went to work only to find out he had the day off. However, he was excited about being able to take the kids to their first day back to school. I stayed behind and got ready for work. We spent some nice quiet time together before I left, I love those opportunities. The kids enjoyed their first day back and still want to go back tomorrow.
Wednesday January 4th
Average day..kids went to school, we went to work.
Thursday January 5th
Mommy and Ellie morning on the couch watching movies with the cat on our laps. We played on the trampoline until Gus got home ate chili dogs for lunch. Gus made me a wonderful dinner and packed it up for me to take to work...it included 3 giant cinnamon rolls, not helping Gus, not helping! Thought that counts...
Friday January 6th
I cannot take the fatness anymore! Finally reached that point, no more happy eating. Today is the beginning of a new me.
Took Poncho with us to drop the kids at school, he freaked when the big kids got out and he wanted to go with them. I went home and went back to bed. Ellie woke me when she got home so she could say "hi", couldn't imagine a better way to be woken up :)
We ate and went for a 1/2 mile walk around the property. Looking forward to doing more exercise as a family. The trampoline has been awesome too.
