It's Sunday..and I am tired

By Sunday I should feel rested, right? Well not today. I've been off from work for seven days; I was scheduled to work today but woke up feeling ill. Something I ate yesterday did not agree with me. Needless to say, I called in. We sign a waiver when hired agreeing that we will not go to work if we have certain illnesses/symptoms. Let's just say, I had a symptom :-0 I really have enjoyed hanging out around the house this weekend. Yesterday, I took the girls (Colin stayed with Abuelita) to see Marley and Me. Cute movie. Afterwards, we came home and ate dinner and just relaxed. Yesterday was my big (and only) brother's 37th birthday, (sorry Troy, you still look 21). We decided to have him and his gf over for dinner tonight. Victor went to the store and bought a cake for his favorite EQ partner (it's an online game they play together through their Ps2's & Ps3's; quite addicting might I add). He also grilled steaks for dinner. What a guy! Just a note on his game addiction. It is cheaper than hanging out at a bar and it won't cause any diseases. Play on I say! Oh, until I ask him to do something, of course, hehe..

School is going well. This set of classes is a bit more challenging. In other words, I am learning.
The pricetag on this school better offer some "higher learning." Publix is reimbursing me, so I cannot complain.

Victor is loving work, not. He as his good and bad days. Who doesn't? He is anxiously awaiting his next vacation.

Phoebe and Victoria have both pulled another round of straight A's. I will surprise them with a little surprise lunch date. They deserve it.

Madelynn and Colin are LOVING school. They asked to go to school during their winter break. Tonight we had a change in routine. We read in front of the burning fireplace tonight. Madelynn read to me and read to them. She is making excellent progress. Earlier, we sat and did some of Madelynn's homework in the kitchen. Colin wrote his alphabet entirely by himself. I was pleasantly surprised. He is going to be reading early.

The house is coming together. We are going to have some more work done this week. Phoebe is anxious about having the work completed, as she is sleeping in Madelynn's room. Madelynn loves the idea though.

I haven't found my usb cord yet, no pics. Sorry.

Oh yeah, before I go; we are taking a trip to Florida for ten days. I have something planned for Victor and I, but he doesn't know yet. I am surprising him for his b-day. Let's hope he doesn't read this blog before then. Anyways, we got a steal on the tickets and hate driving the 11 hours to miami. Heidi (my sister) has a van that we can drive while we are there. Thanks Eric and Heidi for taking care of us! To say I am ready to go is an understatement. I am not a big "sun" fan, but I could go for a little beach action.

Have a great week!
