Yeah!!!!

For reasons unknown, our school district decided to give us an extra day off for Veteran's Day, which means I have a 4-day weekend!
I told the kids they have 4 days to drive their mothers crazy while I rest!
So far no plans other than sleep late. T told me as soon as I got home that tomorrow he'd like to go to Panda Inn for dinner. He loves that place and so do we, so Panda Inn it'll be.
Four day weekends make me happy :)

Make Over

I just watched Tim Gunn's guide to style, and my opinion is I need some advice. I need a make over, a new hairdo, a new wardrobe and a new attitude.

#1 -I will check my closet to find 10 pieces I can't live without and throw away the rest
#2 - I need to be fit with a bra that fits my voluptuous figure better.
#3 - New hairdo, extensions?
#4 - Botox, liposuction, face lift!


Yeah, right! ;)

Just another day

Have nothing much to say today, it was a nice day, M cooked tacos for dinner but T wanted me to make him a quesadilla, which I did, and he said that was really good!

Wednesday is minimum day at school, which means the kids left at 1:30 yeah!

Random..Susan Lucci finally got kicked off from Dancing with the Stars, she's 61, but her face is like weird, so tight and shiny lol Viva Botox. And even though she was not a very good dancer, I still wish I could do some of her moves.

T just decided to use my bed as an arena for his action figures, so here's a random photo :)

Teacher, teacher

Today I took T to my school. The children asked if he was my son (don't you love 5 year old)? T brought his book and hid in the "library playhouse" to read. Pretty soon he came out of hiding and read to the children the classroom rules. Then we all , T included, danced and sang the Tooty Tah! He also read them a book.

At recess time, he helped pass out the snacks and went outside, where he raced around the playground followed by about 80 kindergartners. After recess, we went to library, and T got a few books. "

On the way back to the classroom, T told me, "Now I know why you come home tired" lol. M came to get him at 11:30 to take him to lunch. He happily waved bye to the kids and to me.

I think he will not be a kindergarten teacher when he grows up!

Loopty Loo

When I got home from work, every muscle in my body was aching. T asked me if I wanted to play basketball one on one, I said maybe in a little while. I went to my room and I swear I could hear my bones creaking. My first impression was, I might be catching another cold, but then it came to me! It was the Loopty Loo!!!!

This year, our principal told us we have to have 20 minutes P.E. every day as per California standards. We are being evaluated on it too. Today we did the Loopty Loo, a newfangled version of the old favorite. 30 minutes of non stop jumping, clapping, bending, stretching...well you get my drift. The kids loved it and were having fun, I got into it too (after all I have to model), and now, my out of shape body is telling me I should proceed slowly next time :)

Let's see...I think tomorrow we'll do the Tooty Tah.

Shopping

I am not crazy about going shopping. Basically, I only go shopping when I have to buy something specific. But for the last 2 weeks, I had the pleasure of shopping with my daughters :)
Last week L and I went shopping, she got some pants, tops and shoes. This week it was S and I, we went to the same store and she got some tops and shoes. It was fun shopping with my daughters, and seeing them trying things and finding something they liked (I found nothing for myself in either trip lol). I miss doing things like that with them more often, but we all live in different places and is hard to coincide, that's why it's always such a treat when I see them, especially if we do something together. Next week it will be shopping with T, he's going to stay with us while his school is off track.

Today is All Saint's Day in Spain. People go to the cemetery and adorn graves and basically party with the dead, like a holiday. There's special sweets called "panellets" usually made with pinenuts, yum. Say a prayer for your departed loved ones.

Tomorrow is back to work. Happily, parent teacher conferences are over!

Me too!

Well, OK, I didn't write anything in October, but because is nablopomo month, I guess I will try to write a little each day :)

Just got back home after a trip to Altadena to watch Berkley Hart. Awesome show. I really enjoyed it, especially because we were all there, M, girls, and T.

It's starting to look like fall... a little rain, cooler days, and also DST ends. Remember to turn your clocks back one hour tomorrow.
