Back to the grind

Today started off as most Mondays do here. Waking up around 6am to watch the news, then negotiating with Ms. Mia at 7:00am, convincing her that it IS morning, and that she DOES have to go to school today. I can only imagine what these conversations are going to be like when she becomes a teenager! :-S But after missing an entire week of school, I can certainly understand her wanting to sleep in again. Last week was a blur...

quick flashback:

We received word last Saturday that my wife's grandmother was sick, and in the hospital. We drove up to the Bay Area to go and visit her, hoping that this wouldn't be our last visit. Unfortunately, her condition worsened and she passed away early Wednesday morning. We extended our stay thru Friday to say our last good-byes and be with the family.

Mrs. Kim lived 90 years of life, and is survived by 2 daughters, 1 son, 6 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren. She was loved dearly by all who knew her and she will be missed. Thank you for sharing your love and happiness with us.


So after spending a week in a hotel sleeping-in, I can understand how difficult it was for Mia to get up today. But she was fine after breakfast, and ready for a productive day at pre-school.

Jacob and I went to pick her up after lunch, then proceeded to meet with one of her friends at the park for their play-date. After about an hour, the weather started getting cold, so we packed it up and headed home. Good thing, too... Jacob managed to fill up yet ANOTHER diaper! Yeah, I know that seems disgusting, but man... that's my boy!!

The Apprentice: (after thoughts)
Andrea deserves to be fired! What is it about her speaking voice that I find annoying? She's soft-spoken, and I can't imagine her representing any of Mr. Trump's organizations. Oh, that look on her face after Mr. Trump fired her (one of shock and awe)... priceless. He didn't even wait for the Project Manager to bring her back into the boardroom. And what's with her yellow eye shadow?!? *ewwww.... yuck!*

Any new shows out there that I should be watching?!?! Yes, VH1's "Best Week Ever" is on my list, Kimmy - thx! I'll share what I've been watching and TiVo-ing in my next post so stay tuned... *har har... a little television humor there*.
