Eversince I moved to the dayshi*t, I can't have a true day off! I need a spa day or just shopping day--- no, I need a benefactor- or a sponsor- hello there Mr. Rich? Just kidding here my lovelies. Anyway, it was a good day yesterday. Me and the kids went to the mall to spend KC's bday money. Thank you to all the gift cards and the cash--- she was ecstatic while "counting" her own money an paying her "stuff". She goes, " I don't fit into the style of Justice anymore mom." I guess my daughter is more into teenager get-ups now. What does THAT mean? Tight jeans, baby Ts, scuffed up polos and some a&f poster wannabe? Yes and no. Yea, I give her leeway a little bit to express herself but not complete freedom--- even if she says , "all my friends think it's cool." Well then, your not cool, honey. She usually follows what I "gently" suggest--so there is peace in LlagaLand.
On a more serious note, I did 2 very important things yesterday. I can't tell you the other one for now....hold you off giddy, no? Once I can share I will definitely announce on this blog first---befor Twitter and FB, because I love my blog readers more : ). The other one, I can totally share. I love spending a little "lovers" time with Mr. Hubbs. We rarely do this now---what with work and the Three Monkeys around...just kiding. Anyway, we were going to a fancy schmancy lunch but realized quickly that we need to pick Josh--darn! So where do we go? Well, hello Target!
Fancy lunch became salted caramel latte at Starbucks and Pizza Hut's cheesy creamy chicken alfredo which is great---when you are hungry and in a hurry! Then off to pick up Josh and it was nice seeing the teachers at Lincoln-Hancock again. I love that school. After picking up KC and Pherry, we went to Pho Hoa, our favorite soup destination this side of town. See their happy faces? I forced them. No, they just like goofing around until Mr. Hubbs becomes serious and then lunch/dinner is no longer fun. Hahahahha.
KC was goofing around and started taking pictures of me. Of course I will just show you the nice one. One out of so many. That's it. I look good in ONE picture out of 732. Yup, that many.
After lunch, we went home, did homework---did I tell you about homeworks at LlagaLand yet? Wheeew! You don't wanna know. I swear, you don't ! It's like a revolution in there. Seriously. The Battle of Brains I call it. Only, brains are flying out. I reserve homework as another blog post. When we got home, two packages were awaiting us. Packages=happiness. Well, this is not MY packages. They were from good friends for KC's bday. Thank you Tita Yas and Kuya Bryan!
Then, off we go to the mall. You know it already, Mr. Hubbs did not come. Of course! Which is good. Really good. Hahahhaha.

Isn't my princess darling so pretty in her yellow shoes? Speaking of which, while browsing at Lord and Taylor, she told me the pretty dress was Tahari---just like her shoes. A loyal brand consumer? Our loot? I got a Givenchy earring and a Givency bracelet and the cutest 2 finger ring by Betsey Johnson. KC? Lots. I will just tell you where we shopped for her so you get the drift. We spent her Justice giftcard, Macy's giftcard and shopped at a&f with her cash money from good friends. Now, if only my friends would give me shopping money too on my birthdays.... ehemmm... my birtday is October my friends. Just like KC, I take giftcards AND cash. Kidding...BTW, you must be wondering where the boys were? Well, while I was having my ring inspected and cleaned ( for insurance purposes), they were gone. They flew to the Apple Store. They might as well hire them, they are always there and probably know more than a whole lot of people there. Just saying.....
So me and KC=shopping.
Pherry and Josh=Apple Store.
Fair enough. Now, don't scold me because Pherry is now 13, so he can babysit his brother okies? He is responsible and can take care of baby bro. Are we cool?
After shopping, we went home. I told them to thank their Papa for being so patient with them recently since he has been the one driving them to school. AND that's when I felt so happy and sad at the same time. KC wrote a letter to her dad and Josh wrote a poem. Here is KC reading her letter to Dad. I can't post the letter in full because... well I can't. Suffice to say they love having their dad in the morning more than they want me. KC went on to say.." so far, I have not been late this school year because of you not like Mama---no offense). Do I need to tell you Mr. Hubbs cried? I cried. Josh cried. KC wailed. HAhahah.
Here is Joshua's poem.
Oh, I told you I love Wednesday(s)! So today, go home---kiss your mom and pop, hubby and wifey or your sisters/brothers or simply tell them you love them. You do not have to wait for a day off, right?
One word: Family.
