Had an easy 8 hour day. Pues si, after an entire week of 12 hour days 8 hours feels like a piece of cake. Went to moms after work, meant to just grab Flako and head home yeah right, I fell asleep until 9pm. Not that it mattered to Flako because Alex came over and they kept each other occupied. On another front, my childhood BFF Priscilla ran the SF half-marathon yesterday, hooorrraaayy for her. Oh, and yeah she actually finished it. So in celebration, we're going back to Cabo!! Thus the picture.

Many months later...here we are again!






I know, I know, I suck at this! I give my cousin Rachel crap over hers and here I am doing the same:) We haven't done very much lately, mostly just working. I work crazy 10-12 hour days. Managing a retail store with such high expectations is no joke! I got home last night and my stepson said " You work too much, I never get to see you" It was a heartbreaking!!!! So I'm spending all of today focusing on him, well, mostly I spent all last weekend focusing on him as well, but what can I say? The kid knows he has fun with me. Last weekend we spent the weekend in SD. We meant to go to the U.S. Open Sandcastle Competition, well, we went on Saturday, only to find out that the professionals build on Sunday. We then spent the day on the beach and my brother and he went boogie boarding. Then we went to check into the Navy Lodge on North Island in Coronado and lounged on the beach. We fell asleep super early, the sun drains you that way. Sunday we went to the lighthouse in Point Loma and missed the sandcastles!!! I was mad! Mom took me shopping as a consolation price and nope it did not work. Then she tried cheering me up with a Philly Cheesesteak from Hooters, that kinda worked. We came home and then got right back in the car again to see Maritza and the kids, they are a wild bunch I tell ya. I couldn't do it. Then I worked a crazy 62 hour week and after last nights comment from Flako we spent all morning watching Coraline in 3D. The movie recommends the room be as dark as possible so we took our comforters and blankets and tacked them over the windows and we liked the dark so much we've left them on all day. It's been nice. He's such a goofy kid, I love him. James has mostly slept today, but it's ok, Flako and I love spending time with each other. The other day my brother gave him a poster board to draw on, well he gave him a pack of 20 I got to put up Als Marine pictures for his homecoming and instead of erasing and starting over he would just grab a new one so now I have a bunch of posterboards with random lines on them. o_O Either way he drew this awesome Goku on it for his Dad that now hangs in our bedroom. I was quite impressed, good drawing. Haha! See you can still see the guest room comforter over the window!
