week love

It's Sunday night and I am not sad to see the weekend go....

On the phone tonight with my mom I said something that I always THINK but didnt realize was actually comepletly acurrate. I like the week much more than the weekend.

The week provides so much more of a schedule for me and the fam. I work all weekend anyway, so its really not any kind of a break!

During the week I can tell you exactly when I work (in & out of the house)... I can tell you exactly when I clean, when Kenley naps, when I work-out, when I RELAX, when I cook (aka when we eat) etc.

Im so grateful of the help I get during our hectic weeks. Between the girls at work and friends/neighbors I feel so confident that Kenley is well taken care of while Im at work and I appreciate the help so much... not just because I cant bring Kenley with me to work anymore but because we both need the break. I can already tell that Kenley loves the time she spends with other kids/babies. And I love the challenge I get from working and the interaction with other adults.... which seems simple enough but I know its good for the both of us.

On Tuesday Kenley has a playdate at Kayte and Teigans (I work with Kayte and Teigan is her adorable little 10 month old boy) and Thursday she will be hanging with her friends Mae and Myles at Jill's ( who I also work with)... where she had so much fun last week. Mae is exactly Kenley's age so they are really fun to watch together.

other things Im looking foward to this WEEK:  On Wednesday Im going to a Partylite party at my friend Amber's out in Grand Terrace... never been to one! ...also seeing one of my favorite bands EVER in Temecula on Sunday THE BAND PERRY. and one week from tomorrow is Halloween!! so excited to see Kenley all dressed up and carving pumpkins.

see.. told you the week is better... so make it a good one!

p.s. in the same phone conversation with my mom tonight she told me that she had been down visiting my Nana today. My nana gave my mom a copy of the local newspaper where she had posted a small memorial to my dad's dad (her husband, my "Pap") who passed away 13 years ago today. it read...

"you left us thirteen years ago. we now have a beautiful great-granddaughter, her name is Kenley."
