So many good intentions!

I had so many good intentions for today, like getting through an entire day’s worth of Jovanni’s school work, or actually cooking a real gourmet dinner for my family. Maybe even submitting an actual query to an actual editor for one of the articles floating around the vast space on my computer! I knew it was off to a shaky start when I went upstairs to wake up the girls with my rendition of “Good morning, good morning, good morning, it’s time to rise and shine!” and Bella sat up, complaining of a sour stomach before she was even fully awake. GiGi, my constant sunshine girl, loved my song, and helped me sing it to Jovanni to get him up. While I was making the kids their breakfast sandwiches, Bella was working her sales pitch on me to stay home from school. So I called a Blanco family official hookie day.


The girls and I scrapbooked, visited with company (my friend V and her two beautiful babies!), and ate all day long. (Bella’s stomach miraculously settled within five minutes of the hookie day announcement, by the way.) Poor Jovie tried to knock some curriculum out, complaining about his math…ugghhh!!! I don’t blame him, I never loved math either.

I did get something done today, though, I loved on my chamacos, and they loved on me. The kids and I goofed off really, but that was ok today. Sometimes we just need to break the monotony of our daily regimen.
