Good morning. It was a busy week last week with some sadness to report. Earlier in the week, I got a call from Jill that my Great Aunt passed away. Sunday, I had heard she fell and was in the hospital. I didn't think much of that and that she would get out soon. Next thing I know, I get a text reading that she's dying and won't have much longer to live. I was shocked that it took that drastic turn for the worst. Kidney failure started to take effect and before I knew it, she was gone by 6pm. She was a very loving and caring person. I always remembered when she thought it was real cool that I went to "school dances" in Middle School. She absolutely loved Mia. The very last time Mia saw her, she was teaching her how to do "punk rock hands". It was rather amazing. It's going to be tough today. There's not a lot of family left on either my Mom's and Dad's side (elderly-speaking) These are the people I remember visiting as a small child so it's weird to me that they are disappearing.
Wednesday, Mia and I got to spend some much-needed time with my best friend Jay, his wife Erin and kid Caleb at the "castle park" in Delafield. That place is so much fun. As soon as we arrived, a day care (or some sort of group of campers) stopped by. Two small buses full of them. We didn't let that spoil our fun. Jay and I go way back to Middle School and have been friends since. Mia, who barely remembers the last time she saw him took an immediately liking to my tattooed pal. I remembered when she was a baby and he was holding her with this panic look. At least now he's got his own to hold :P Hopefully, we can hang out again.
She had her last day of swim class Wednesday. I finally got to watch her swim! My parents came along as the kids demonstrated their different techniques they developed over the course of a month. The kids did great and Mia really enjoyed it. Unsure if she'll do gymnastics next. She's got a slight interest in going to an open gym night with her friend Olivia so we'll see how that goes. Saturday, Mia opened her Sweets and Treats stand at our house in the front yard and made $110.00. I tell you, it's hard to turn down a kid at lemonade stand. I watched Chelsea take on Arsenal Sunday for the Community Shield. Crappy game. Chelsea didn't play that well and for the first time in 2 1/2 years, got scored on by ARSEnal. Costa with his hammy injury didn't help. Hopefully we can do better this weekend on the opening day of EPL. Cech wasn't letting up for his former teammates trying desperately to equalize during the game. Earlier in the week, they defeated Barca in PKs so THAT was awesome :)
This week-Play date with her BFF Olivia tomorrow, not sure what we're doing yet Wednesday and I've got my half-bro and his kiddos coming to town at the end of the week. Should be a lot of fun. That's all for now. Thanks for reading!!
My team kick arse! Lol
ReplyDeleteArsenal lost to West Ham yesterday which made me feel better :)
DeleteBut Chelsea and arsenal are just a point behind so it is not so bad, beside Leicester beat everyone. And your keeper is off with a red card, it made me feel a little better haha
