homework w/the kidlets

Did a book report w/ my 2nd oldest today. She amazes me how independent she is. she had a book report due. She did all of the 1st and 2nd draft on her own and then i just had to help her out with sentence structure and punctuation. It took me this long to do well in english from college and here she is well on her way.

I love my grandma. I am just waking up in the afternoon because of my nighttime shift and i hear her doin dishes in the kitchen. I remember waking up as a child when i used to sleep with her and hearing her in the kitchen. I dont know what I'll ever do without her. I've had to go to tons of appts w/my aunt for cancer and she's been with her every step of the way and when I have to leave she'll watch out for my kids.

My bestess friend

Cant believe how funny I think my husband still is after all these years. A lot of times I dont believe him when he compliments me but the other day he says "If I had your looks, I'd would have had 100's ". He lets me sleep when he's off and he knows I've wkd all night, he's cooks when he's off, and he calls my gma, gma too. what else could I ask for?

Tonight we took the kids to a trunk or treat at the ward. We were both feeling sick but it's for the kids so we forget our selves and go. what a fun time we all had. we had activities in the gym for about an hour. they played games like musical chairs and after we laughed at the kids they asked for the moms and dads to get up and join. i just sat there as i am used to when my 2 girls pull me up. they're gettin bigger and stronger than i realize sometimes. i find myself standing at a circle of chairs and no other parents come out. my sis in law paki is just laughing at me. i found myself walking off after the 1st round.

then took the kids outside. the weather was great. so many kids and so much candy. we took keai's little car cuz my car trunk will not stay open. i had bought some lights that make halloween sounds and blink and it was well worth the money. Veni was a vampire. Kale's a vampire (her favorite every yr now for 3 yrs) and Zerin's a nerd.

Drove home, the kids are sugared up, i get to hold my Keai's hand and we're all happy :)


Veni sits by my side and watches tv as I try to catch up on lost sleep from working overnight. when i finally wake he's promising me again that he'll buy me a house. then he says "a gingerbread house". then I ask "can you buy it today?" he replies "no i dont have a job". while i was asleep he keeps waking me to scare me with his fake vampire teeth. what a joy lol.

My favorite gem

So I dont have a wedding ring.....but I found my new stone that I would have instead of a diamond if I did own a wedding ring.........drum roll........Blue Topaz!! soooo purrty. bright blue! I now have a goal of buyin me one for all the hours I put in work lol.

Yesterday was so depressed and low cuz I worked 70hrs and was missing my family. The big checks are great but nothing compared to spending time with my husband and lil ones.
