Beauty and the Dad

Good morning everyone. Another busy week in the books. I spent my Wednesday off helping out Jill with her workload for a few hours. It wasn't the most exciting work, but it was nice to help her out and attempt to make her work-life easier. She gets super stressed so to help in anyway is a major bonus. Mia and I enjoyed the nice weather while walking Remi before homework. Towards the end of the week, Jill spent some late nights perfecting macaroons. I'm talking 3:00am still popping these little suckers out of the oven. They're absolutely incredible.

Friday, I took off for the Daddy/Daughter dance at the local HS. Before any of that,  I watched a nail-bitter of a soccer game between Chelsea vs West Brom. 3 points and we'd secure the Premier League title. I picked up Mia from school within the last 15 or so minutes and when she got home, their substitute Michy Batshuayi got the only goal of the game. They won 1-0 and the good guys won their title. Mia credited the whole win to when she got home. "They only scored because I came home, Daddy". That's all that matters. It was a crazy excited season as a Chelsea fan and with one trophy left to play for, they're not done yet.

Later, Mia and I got ready and went to the dance. As soon as the diva got in, I heard screams of "MIA'S HERE! MIA'S HERE!!!" and there were her friends, Cecilia and Hayden. The girls played while I met the Dads. We would dance together throughout the evening. She really like spinning around as much as possible. It honestly was a lot of fun and she was really glad she went. The turnout was low, but it was a good time nonetheless.

The Torrent played the dreaded DCFC on the road in front of 5,000+ Detroit fans and ended with a draw in the last minute. The Blues deserved to win, but with low visibility because of the smoke, they got scored on. They played Lansing yesterday and lost 0-2. Hope they can get on track with winning and get some major points.

Saturday, Mia had dance. It was open house so Jill and I stayed and watched her class run through the dance routine. It's pretty cute. Later, we met up with my parents to take them out to lunch for Mother's Day. Later, we went to see my buddy DJ's orchestra group play in Mukwonago. It was Mia's first concert experience. Some of the songs were pretty long for her, but for the most part she really really enjoyed it.

Sunday, Mia and I made Jill breakfast in bed, which consisted of Nutella waffle with a strawberry smile and some tea. She loved it, along with the variety of things Mia made for her. We later went to the beach till I went to work.

This week, lots of art to accomplish. Stressing myself out as usual, hoping to win the inner struggle of never feeling like I've accomplished anything. Nothing major for the weekend. Jill and Mia are going to a play, so that should be fun.

Thanks for reading!
