House Cleaning

This morning we were woken up around 8am from our neighbor’s landscapers. They usually come really early on either Friday or Saturday morning. I was especially tired since Evan woke up in the middle of the night last night. He was crying for some reason. He calmed down pretty quickly. When I went in his room he told me he wanted water. I filled his cup with water and then he went back to sleep. Maybe he had a bad dream?

At 9:45am the housecleaning lady came. She didn’t speak any English so I had to show her around the house and explain things in Spanish. It was her first time at our house. I negotiated a price with her, but then called Yenis to translate and make sure I really understood. I had understood, but I just wanted to be sure so we didn’t have any problems at the end.

Evan, Noah, and I went to Newflower and got some fruit and veggies for the weekend. Then, we met Morry for lunch. I needed to be home by 1:15 for an online focus group. Morry was on a call when we met him at work so we were late going to lunch. We went to Chick-Fil-A (Evan’s request). I had to quickly eat lunch and rush home. Morry brought the boys home a little later so they could stay and play longer.

I got home, signed on to the computer and a few minutes later got a message saying there were too many people in the focus group. I won the lottery and was dismissed from the group, with pay. It was supposed to be an hour long chat session on drinks for $75. So, I got paid $75 for nothing. Great deal!

I took the boys in the backyard and we played for a little while. Evan watered our little garden. We noticed a little green tomato and a few jalapeno peppers finally started growing. Evan was pretty excited about the tomato. I explained that it wasn’t quite ready to eat yet and we’d have to keep watching it until it turned red.

Evan and Noah went down for naps around 2:00.

Grandma/Lynn and Papa/Lenny got here around 3:00. Since the cleaning lady was still here we just sat outside on the upstairs patio. Noah woke up at 3:30 and Evan woke up a little later.

For dinner we went to Cypress Grill. Evan and Noah were very well behaved and ate well. Evan had his own shrimp kids meal.

We just put the boys to bed, but Evan is still awake. He was just crying for Daddy, so Morry is up there trying to get Evan to sleep.
