Avengers End Game…

This morning I slept in pretty late. I didn’t really sleep that well last night though. When I got up I went downstairs and my daughter got home from work. She felt like pancakes, so I made pancakes for her, my son and myself. After we ate we all (except for my younger daughter, who was babysitting with her friend today) got dressed and ready to go to the new Avengers movie in St Albert. We planned on going to the Landmark theatre in St Albert, because a couple Christmas’s ago my aunt gave my kids movie gift cards for Landmark gift cards and we still hadn’t used them! When we got there we lined up to buy tickets, however the movie sold out while we were in the line! We saw Dr Hauptman in the line while we were there!! We went back to the van and searched for other theatres that it was playing at. We often buy our tickets in advance, but since the movie has been out for 3 weeks we didn’t expect it to sell out for a 4:00 in the afternoon show!! We found out that it was playing at 6:00 in West Edmonton Mall, so we bought the tickets online this time and drove to the mall. We went to Bourbon Street and had an early supper at the BP’s. Then we went to the movie. It was really really great!! I won’t say much about it, because spoilers and all that! I will just say that it was really really good. It’s broken all of the records for making the most money of all time. It made a billion dollars opening weekend!! That’s just absolutely a crazy amount of money!! It’s unfathomable!! After the movie we just went home and it was about 10:00 when we got there! We basically got home and I got my son ready for bed and then got myself ready for bed as well!!

I forgot to publish this though!! Oops!!

Apple Store & Plato’s Closet

Today is a PD day for the kids. I got up at 8:30 and started going through my clothes again. At about 11:45, we left and dropped off my son at his friend’s grandma’s house, so he could play with his friend there. Then my younger daughter and I drove to Southgate Mall and went to the Apple Store. We told them what was going on with her phone and the lady made us an appointment with the genus bar. Then she showed us how to back my daughter’s phone up onto iCloud. It took forever. The guy was able to run his diagnostic test on it while it was backing up. It gave us bad news though…her sound chip is completely broken and it’s something that isn’t fixable!! Meaning, she needs a new phone! Great news! Just what I wanted to hear!! Because we can afford a new phone…she can’t hear music, phone calls and something else is wrong because only some texts go through and some don’t! He didn’t even bother checking out the texting problem, once he found out that there was an internal problem that wasn’t fixable, he basically stopped looking at it, because we need to get a new phone. That’s our only solution!! So, we stayed in the Apple Store, because the backup wasn’t finished and it needed the free wifi to complete it. The frustrating thing was that we sat there forever, waiting for it to be finished, and then after an hour and a half her phone suddenly got disconnected from the wifi and the backup got interrupted. So, it didn’t even end up working! We were both super aggravated, so we decided that we would do it at home. So we left the Apple Store and drove to the second hand store Plato’s Closet. We both brought our clothes in. She had 3 regular bags and I had 3 garbage bags. We shopped in the store while they went through our things. The wait wasn’t nearly as long as the last time that we were there. They told us it was about 25 minutes. Last time it was close to 2 hours!! They ended up taking 18 of my daughter’s items and about 33 of mine! They give you cash right then and there. Or trade for whatever you’re buying. I bought a couple pairs of shorts and 3 pairs of jeans. My daughter bought a LuLu bra, some pants and a black shirt that she can wear to dance. Then we drove to the Walmart. She needed a new binder for school and we were both thirsty!!? From there we drove home. Once we got home I made a quick supper, because my son had soccer practice and had to eat before leaving. Once they left, we ate. Then my daughter and I watched a few episodes of Hawaii 5. They came home after the first show. My son went on his phone. My daughter went to bed early, because she has to work early in the morning. I went upstairs to get ready for bed bed, because I wasn’t feeling well. Not much longer later, my son and hubby came up. Then my hubby instantly fell asleep, so I had to get my son into bed. Then I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to get to bed. I’m still not feeling great!

Night All! 💤😴

Laser Birthday Party

This morning after I dropped off my son I had breakfast and cleaned up the kitchen. Then I wrapped the presents for the birthday party that we went to later on in the day. Afterwards, I went upstairs and started going through my clothes, since I don’t fit the majority of them anymore! My daughter texted me around 11:15 from work to tell me that she isn’t feeling well and that she was coming home from work early. She came home and laid down on my bed and gave me opinions as I went through my clothes. Most of it was pretty obvious though, because it was just way too big for me! At about 1:30 I got dressed and went and picked up my daughter because she had her spare today. Then we went by Sobeys and picked up a couple things. Then we came back home and I continued going through clothes until it was time to drive my daughter to dance. Then I stayed in the city after dropping her off and got earl grey tea and a muffin at Timmy’s and went to Laser City to wait for the rest of my family to come to the birthday party for our friend’s son. After the party, the rest of my family went home and I stayed in the city to pick up my daughter and her friend from dance. I had about an hour and 45 minutes. So, I went to Winners, because I needed some night crew and eye cream. Then I bought a sandwich at Timmy’s, because I was starving. I ate it in my van outside the studio while waiting for them to finish dancing. When they were done, we drove home. I bought them slurpees on the way home. We dropped off her friend and then came home ourselves. The kids don’t have school tomorrow, because it’s a PD day, so they get a 4 day weekend!! When we got home I had to clear off the bed, because all of the clothes that I had gone through were still all over it. Then I put some laundry in. My daughter and I watched a couple of shows. Then I got my son into bed. Now I’m going to get myself ready for bed as well.

First Soccer Win!!

This morning I had to get my son ready for an all day field trip at the lake, in the rain! Once I dropped him off at the school, I came home and had my breakfast. Then I cleaned up the kitchen and tidied up the living room. Then I went upstairs, because I was feeling sleepy. It was around noon when I laid down for a while. I got up when it was time to get the my daughter from school, my hubby picked up my son, because it’s my daughter’s early dance day. I dropped her off at dance, then drove to the lady’s house that my daughter and I went to the other day and she wasn’t home, to pick up something from Market Place. Then I drove to Canadian Tire and bought present for a birthday party that my son is invited to tomorrow. At the till my bank card didn’t work. They made me call my bank, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with my account or card, the problem was with their machine. When they took me to a different till it worked perfectly fine, but by then 20 minutes had gone by and I was late getting home and my hubby and son left for my son’s soccer game without me!! They won their first game tonight!! 4-3!! Yay!! I stopped at the Sobeys on the way home and got a few groceries. Then I went home and made my daughter and I a quick supper. Then we watched a couple shows. At 8:30 I had to leave to pick up my daughter from dance. We got back at about 9:30 or so. I got my son ready for bed. Then I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to get ready for bed.

Happy Birthday To Me!!

This morning after I dropped off my son I had my regular breakfast. Then I cleaned up the kitchen, like I’ve been doing every morning. Then I was going to lie down, but my oldest daughter got up, she had a bit of time before work, so we watched a show before she left. Then I went online and filled out the town (I guess that Beaumont is officially a city now…) census. Then I went upstairs. I had about 45 minutes until I had to go pick up my daughter, because her spare was starting. When I went to get her I ended up having to wait for a while because she was writing a math quiz that took longer than her class time and went into her spare!! We finally went home and I went upstairs and laid down until it was time to drive her to dance, my hubby picked up my son from school when he got home from work. She bought us both drinks from Starbucks on the way to dance for my Birthday!! I dropped her off and drove to the Timmy’s and ordered my usual Earl Grey tea (with 2 milks and 1 honey) and a muffin) and then I went back to the studio!! I waited for her to finish dancing while going on my phone and basically relaxing. When she was finished, we drove back to Beaumont, I went into Shoppers and picked up my hubby’s prescription. Then I went to Sobeys and got a couple things. Then we went home. My son had a plant for me and a beaded bracelet with a crown on it. My hubby made burgers, but beef has really been bugging my tummy, so he BBQ’d me a chicken breast. Then we ate supper. After supper I tried to help my daughter with her english homework, but I wasn’t much help, because I didn’t read the book that she was answering questions about!! Then my oldest daughter came home, we watched a show together and then I got everything ready for bed. I took my son upstairs and got him into bed. Once he was asleep I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to get ready too, because I’m super tired and my tummy isn’t great right now…

Flowers For Mom!!

This morning after dropping off my son, I came home and had some oatmeal and earl grey tea. Then I did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen. I went upstairs and searched online for a florist close to where my mom lives in BC so that I could have flowers sent to her for Mother’s Day. Yes, a day late, but better late than never!! Then my daughter got up and we went to the city to pick up something from market place. The problem is when we arrived the lady wasn’t there, very frustrating. So, from there we went to Costco. After Costco, we went back to Beaumont. We quickly went to Sobeys for a couple things and then we went home. We got home at about the same time that my hubby was getting home with the kids from school. About 20 minutes later I drove my daughter to dance. On the way home I got gas for the van. Then I went home and started supper. We ate supper and then quickly got ready and had to leave and go watch my son play soccer. They played well tonight. I think that they’re getting a bit better, it probably helps that they finally had a practice!! After the soccer game, we came home and my daughter and I started watching Hawaii 5 O. We didn’t finish watching it, because I had to go to the city and pick up my daughter and her friend from dance. When we got home my oldest daughter and I finished watching our show and watched the next episode. Then I wrote this! Now I’m going to get ready for bed!!

Happy Mother’s Day!!

This morning when I went downstairs I made a grocery list with my oldest daughter. I started to eat my oatmeal, but had one bite when I noticed that the milk had curdled…it had also done so in my tea!! So I didn’t end up eating my oatmeal or drinking that tea…yuck! I had some yogurt. I talked to my mom and wished her a happy Mother’s Day!! Then my daughter bought me a Starbucks drink for Mother’s Day on our way to the Walmart. At Walmart we bought a bunch of groceries and things that we needed. Then we drove back to town and I got my prescription at Shoppers. We went to Sobeys and bought some more groceries, because I didn’t buy produce, baked goods and meat at the Walmart. Afterwards, we went back home. It was actually quite an expensive shopping day, but I haven’t had a big shop in some time! I’ve only done little ones and we were due for a big shop!! We unloaded the van and put everything away. Then my hubby BBQ’d supper because it was so nice out today. I got a load of laundry in before supper. After eating, my daughter opened her potable speaker that she bought for the car. I read through my daughter’s essay for her. My son had a quick shower. Then I got him ready for bed. Once he was asleep, I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to get ready for bed.

Birthday Party Evening…

This morning my son woke up a bit before me and went on his phone/iPod for a bit. Then we got up and went downstairs. We had something to eat. Then I did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen floor and table. From there, I moved into the living room. It was the only room that I had left to clean. My son’s birthday party was this evening though, so I was running out of time!! I started cleaning the living room, but didn’t finish in time to go with my son and hubby to watch his soccer game 😕 My son didn’t even seem to be upset about it, but I felt bad. I stayed home and finished cleaning up. My younger daughter was up in her room working on her homework. My oldest daughter got home from work and helped me with the cleaning!! We finished the living room and the front entry. I had the kitchen and dining room finished. My hubby brought supper back with them, so we ate when they got home!! Then I went upstairs and got ready to go. Kids started arriving as I was getting ready! By 6:15 we were in both vehicles on our way to the Leduc theatre to watch the new Detective Pikachu movie. It was a great movie! It was fun and entertaining!! Once the movie was finished, we drove back to our house and my son opened his presents. Then we had cupcakes for all of the kids. They went outside for only about 10 minutes, because it was already 9:45 and I had told the parents that I would bring them home around 9:30-9:40, so we had to going! Then we drove everyone home. I had offered to do so, because I didn’t know how long the movie would take or how many previews it would have or when we would arrive home!! Most of the kids live in the same general area, so it took very little time at all!! When we got there back home, I got my son ready for bed, then I wrote this. Now I’m going to get ready for bed as well. I’m feeling super exhausted!!

Represent Hip Hop Competition!!

This morning I had to wake up at 6:00 to get ready for the final competition of the season. It was the hip hop competition, Rep. My daughter is only in one hip hop dance this year, so we only had the one dance in this competition. My son walked to school and we left and drove to the UofA, because the competition was at the Myer Horowitz stage Arizona the University. We had to be there at about 9:00am, but my son had crazy hair day for school, so I had to get up early enough to get myself ready and him ready!! Once we arrived, I realized that I didn’t have enough change for parking and I didn’t have my credit card on me!! So, after I got my daughter to where she needed to be, I bought myself an iced tea and asked for a bunch of change, then I went back to the parkade and paid for parking!! I went back inside and up to the theatre. I sat down in the lobby and drank my tea. One of the other moms and her daughter joined me. Once my tea was finished, we went into the theatre and watched my daughter’s group perform. Then we left again. My daughter came out as well. The adjudication periods at this competition are super long, so it was about an hour and a half wait until the adjudication!! We went downstairs and she had something to drink. We sat with some of the girls from her group. Thank my daughter and I went into the theatre to watch a few of the dances! Some of them were pretty phenomenal!! Crazy talented dancers!! Finally it was time for the adjudication!! My daughter’s group received gold! Which is great, it’s the second highest that you can get at this competition!! So, I think that they were pleased!! When adjudication was finished I ran into Miss Amanda in the bathroom and talked to her about my daughter’s solo next year. Then my daughter and I left and drove back home to Beaumont. I stopped at the Sobeys once we got into town. Then we went home. I was feeling super exhausted, since I got under 6 hours of sleep and I kept waking up during those 6 hours…so, even though by the time that I put the groceries away it was already 2:20, I laid down for a bit. At about 3:10 I got up and went and picked up my son from school. Then when we got home my hubby got home about 5 minutes after us. He stayed with my son and I went upstairs and actually had a real nap, since I couldn’t keep my eyes open! Then he took my son to soccer practice , finally they get a practice!! I got up and made supper!! After supper, my oldest daughter and I watched a couple episodes of NCIS New Orleans. Then she went to bed. My son and I played for a while then I got him ready for bed. Now I’m going to do the same for myself, because I’m beat!!

A Clean Kitchen & Dining Room, Finally…

This morning after I dropped off my son at school I had some oatmeal and earl grey tea. I talked to one of my son’s friends mom via texts while I was cleaning the kitchen and dining room. Our dining room hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned in some time! It took me quite some time to clean the entire room and to actually go through everything!! By the time I was finished everything it was 2:00!! I laid down for about 45 minutes. Then I got up and got dressed and went and picked up my daughter from school. My hubby went to my son’s school. When we got home, she quickly got ready for dance and then we drove to the city. I stopped at the Sobeys on the way home from dropping her off. I bought a couple of groceries and then I came home. At home I made supper, then we ate supper. My daughter and I watched a couple of shows! Afterwards, she went to bed. My son had a quick shower, while I got the water bottles ready and took care of the dogs, etc. Then we went upstairs and I got him ready for bed. Once he was asleep, I had a shower, so that I wouldn’t have to in the morning!! Then I got ready for bed. Now I’m going to get some sleep.
