my little initias

The girls in our primary had to do an Indian nbr. i spent a couple of days making outfits. the girls looked great. I was so amazed at how well they knew their dance.

gym for my 600 cal

was so excited when i awoke to get to the gym but one thing came up after another. finally around 2pm I got myself in my car to go. started with weights for upper body. sweated through that and it was feelin great. then I get on the eliptical and was so hard. I was waiting for the negative voice in my head to give up and be quiet. pushed myself thru til I hit 500Cal. couldnt feel my feel by then so i got off and did some situps. finally, I was feeling a little better and got back on to hit my 600!! yay!! i didnt feel like i sweat as much as i normally do til i get in the sauna. this old man had sprayed the whole room with a hose and it was piping hot. I couldnt stay in my whole 10min., but gosh did that make up the for nonsweating feeling I had. i was dripping. i went back for a few min but by the time i came out, I was lightheaded. came home to wking on the grass with keai. never thought I'd say this but it is relaxing to be outside doing gardening or wking on our fence. for dinner we ate ice cream and cake. how healthy lol.

didnt feel like wking out...

...then i come into gym n burned 600Cal. way to impress myself-build my self esteem cheehoo!!

updates

Veni's now done with Kindergarten and looking fwd to having all the kids in school fulltime. Kale's gonna be a 6th grader and Zerin a 5th grader this upcoming fall. Been feeling a lot better. more self esteem and confidence going to gym for the past 3 weeks. now i wake up looking fwd to the good feelins I get when I exercise. nothing like it! When I miss it feels like my day doesnt go as well. Went part time at work but already seeing finances drop so waiting on them to approve me back to full-time Hoi. Keai mom was a little sick so need to have Keai call her again. Steven went on a fieldtrip (he's 5) and he had asked me to go but all the parents filled up the spots avail. Veni still asked me to come so I drove all the way up to Hogle Zoo and walked 1/2 a mile to see him and his class at the backgate. I was waiting to see his suprised "I am happy to my mom" look but he instead saw me and ran and hid. He was embarrassed! dang dont he know I just spent $12 to get in. made me wanna go home already. he's way too young to already be embarrassed. toni ke pa'i. hehehe

Veni's kindergarten interview

Took my son to meet his teacher today and see how much he knew. at first I was nervous about him going to school because he's never went to daycare or anything else that has kids minus me or his sisters. watching him yesterday interact with his dr. and then today with his to-be teacher eases my worries. he was very confident counting and letting her know that he could write his name. he even wrote some of his numbers for her. i was a proud mom, but daddy's the one to get the credit for always pushing him to practice his writing.

rates desk

now working rates with Ane and Eni. we are the night crew. the ones who's daytime lives are messed up cuz we live here at work and are up all night. My girls had their 1st day of back to school today. My son and I went to get his immunizations and the poor little guys tears were so sad. I hated taking him. if they ask for my kids to get a flu shot in the fall, I also say "no". i remember as a child we only went once and my mom tells me its because my dad hated for them to hurt us as well. i know in the long run its sppsd to help but a parent cant stand to see their child hurt. that's when mama bear comes out lol grandma has since moved to my aunt's house and my mother in law is here visiting with us. She leaves this sunday, but it's been good for her to bond w/her grandkids. my mom has helped tons with her and so has Finau Selu.her box is ready to go. Veni and I went to visit gma today and miss her. glad to have spent time with her. took her some money. she looks happy and healthy. since lita's passed I missed Lita a lot and I only helped with appts and little runs to the store etc. I cant imagine how much gma misses her when she was the nurse and chef for Lita. i got the bad news that being a nurse would be a downgrade in pay and it doesnt make sense for me when I am on a roll paying off our debt. by this time next year I will be out of debt paying the way we do now. Can't explain what happiness that brings. i cant go to school for another 6yrs to find that we're in worse debt and unhappy. Keai, me and our kids got to visit SFO last month. made me appreciate my job and how we can jump on a flight and leave for the weekend. when we came home Keai wasnt feeling so well and we got 1 first class seat so we let him have it. I was so proud sitting in coach that I could give that to him and help. so glad we got into rates. way nonstressful. that's all I can ask for in a job..flexibility, good pay, and good coworkers. luv it.
