My washer just broke about 2 weeks ago so I’ve been having to go to the laundry mat to wash, thankfully the dryer is still working so it doesn’t take me too long. I decided to wash last night because I figured it would be emptier yesterday than the weekend, the father of my kids was coming over to see the kids so we decided to wash together. As we are sitting waiting for the load to wash, I hear my little one singing this song

As she was singing the song she motioned towards her father every time it said “next to me”  I tried to keep a straight face but it made me laugh that she was some way some how trying for her father and I to be okay with each other. I know this whole thing has been had for her, her behavior, her acts show it. She tries so hard to have him and I get along. It a little sad but this too shall pass!

Its been a rough week

It’s finally Friday and all though I should be happy that I get to have my weekend again, I feel emotionally drained with all the tragedies that occurred this week. First the Boston bombing in which 3 precious lives were lost and many were injured, then the Texas fertilizer plant explosion in which about 40 are still missing and today the lock down of Watertown, Waltham, Belmont, Cambridge, Newton, Allston and Brighton due to the search of the remaining suspect of the Boston bombing. I’m not directly involved with any of these tragedies but It makes me sad to see others suffering. Now more than ever we need to come together as one nation and support our fellow American. People are fucking crazy and accidents happen, lives are lost but we need to show the world how we could bounce back from such tragedies, how we are able to put aside all our differences and become one. Yesterday on my way home from work while listening to the radio I heard about how a whole stadium sang the National Anthem together, this was the first game right after the Boston explosion. It made me tear up and made the hairs on my back stand.

We shouldn’t wait for things like this to happen, we should be united like this always.

This weekend we had my oldest daughter’s BFF came to spend the day at our house. I was a bit worried because I don’t have cable and wasn’t sure how to entertain them. Luckly they planned on doing some Arts & Crafts. They started off doing some ornaments for Christmas but tafter a few they had had enough. I took them out to buy a bunch of junkfood, just so that they could get out of the house. When we were done I kept thinking of a way to keep them entertained and thats when it came to me. MESS UP DRESS UP. You have 10 minutes to pick out clothes which include everything from belts to scarfs. Anything and it must not match, layer as much as possible. Then you have 4 minutes to get dressed. And finally you have a fashion show to show off your finale product. We had so much fun. Who knew that this generation of kids can still have fun without technology.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Oh how I missed blogging!! I promised the girls I wouldn’t be online so much, that I really dedicate time to them. It was a really nice and chill weekend. We had an amazing Thanksgiving and for the first time ever my Turkey was so juicy, I even surprised myself! Everyone devoured the leftovers the following day.

We did our yearly tradition in which we decorate the house for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. We put some Christmas music on and just danced around the house, it was so pleasant!

Every year we also go over to my Aunts house and help her decorate her house as well, her husband makes the best hot chocolate, so once we are done we all sit around drink some yummy hot chocolate and talk.

I can’t complain I must say I had the best Thanksgiving weekend ever!
