I've been MIA from cyber world for over a week now. I know, I can't believe it either. The truth is I have been crazy busy and just too exhausted to get my thoughts together to sit and blog. My younger brother who's 12 and my niece who's 10 were both here with us since June 6th. It has been a lot of work caring for 2 extra children and I was wiped out these past days.
Last week my daughter and my niece attended Vacation Bible School (VBS) from 9am-12noon. Although that helped to minimize the time spent at home, it was also very taxing on me. Along with that my daughter had swimming lessons so I felt like I was going all over town all week and that was very tiring.
In addition we have been having alot of visitors for the last few weekends. This weekend Greg's cousin and his wife and their baby were here. We had a great time with them. Greg's cousin's wife was also my room-mate in college and she and I are very good friends. It was really nice spending time with her. When we get together we can talk for hours and that is exactly what we did Friday night.
We left all the kids with the 2 men and went out for coffee and desserts followed by a movie. We had so much fun talking and laughing that even when we returned home we spent another 45 minutes in my van just talking. We knew everyone were already sleeping so we didn't want to come inside and wake them up but we still wanted to talk. I love having conversations with friends that I click with because we could talk forever and we would not run out of things to say.
Unfortunately these friends are living in Ft. Lauderdale (as are most of our best friends and our family) and we don't see them as often as we would like. Can you tell I'm missing Ft. Lauderdale??? I admit, I do miss it; not so much the place but more the people (at least my peeps) that are still there. I do love Tampa though; I just wish I could combine my 2 worlds. That's exactly how it feels too like we are living in 2 worlds. Anyway, God is good and we are thankful to be blessed no matter where we are. We are able to make it work and that's what we've been doing. We go to Ft. Lauderdale as much as we can and we have friends and family come visit us too. So, it's all good!
The men also got a boys' night out too. They went out for sushi Saturday night. They also went to Channelside and they watched Hulk, which they really enjoyed. All in all we were all able to have a great time of fellowship with each other. So, now we are trying to get back to our normal lives.
Adryana was very sad to see our visitors go. She really misses the kids. They were also sad to leave. I'm sad for them too but I won't miss the extra work.
Well, I'm logging off now. I have tons of laundry to catch up on. Also, while I was MIA from blogging I was also not reading any of my fave blogs so I need to catch up with them now.
