Greetings from Nevada! I hope it’s been a great week. 

We had an eventful week! When I first started writing this, I had forgotten about most of it. As I was writing, I kept thinking…oh yeah. So, this is version two! 

Monday was a normal day for me. Tuesday, I worked from home because Isaiah had parent teacher conferences, which meant a half day for him. He could be home by himself if necessary, but I’d rather be there for him if possible. I also wanted to attend the conferences to hear how he’s doing this year. It was a good conference, and I was glad for some extra time with Isaiah, 

Wednesday was a normal day, back in Vegas for work. Then Thursday morning at around 2:15, Ben got up to head out of town. He had an event he was participating in and he had to be at the airport extra early. I woke up as he was getting ready, and dosed off and on until my alarm went off at 4 a.m.  

I managed to get myself up and to the gym. I had a good upper body workout before heading home to get ready for my day. I had to get the kids where they needed to be in the morning, and then I had some meetings in the morning before Antonio got home around 12:30. They had a half day because it was their parent teacher conference day. Analise had dance immediately after school. I was able to crank through conferences with all amazing reports and then took Antonio to get his hair cut. I ran a few more errands and then it was back home to pick up Isaiah from school. After that, I had work I had to get done before we headed out to dinner with Ben’s family for his dad and brother’s birthday. It was an insane day! 
 
Friday morning, I was up at 3:50. I woke up 10 minutes before my alarm went off to the news that one of my good friends was in labor. I sent a text asking how she was doing and about 30 minutes later got the good news that Mom and baby were doing great, with baby girl arriving at 4:02 a.m.  

I managed to drag myself to the gym, even though I really didn’t want to. I had a good workout and then it was back home for another day at home. I got the kids where they needed to be in the morning and then sat down at my desk to crank through my day. I was crazy, busy until about 2:45 when I went to get Analise from the bus stop.  

Then it was pick up Isaiah from school, run him to get his hair cut, pick up Antonio from cross country practice, go to the grocery store, drop Analise off at the dance she was volunteering at and then home to cook dinner and eat, before running back to the dance to pick her up two hours later. I was so ready for bed on Friday night! And ended up staying awake two hours later than normal! 

Saturday morning, I slept in! You know, I almost forgot what it was like to sleep in on a Saturday morning. This weekend, we had a small break from Cross Country. I’m not sure why there wasn’t a meet this weekend, but I’m definitely not complaining about not having to get up early!  

Of course, I woke up at 3:50 a.m. anyways, but thankfully I was able to fall back to sleep. We had a full day, with a morning walk all together, coffee, donuts, playing basketball, a quick run to Vegas and baked spaghetti for dinner. I’m really hoping for a completely uneventful Sunday! 
 

Until next week, make it a great one! Amy
