As you can imagine, it was a little difficult to get Natalia out of bed today. She just didn't want to go to school. I felt so bad for her. Finally we left the house. She said good bye to everyone and I thought everything was going to be fine. A block away from home, Natalia just lost it. I kept trying to comfort her, but no words were good enough. We prayed before we got out of the car and went to the front office to sign her in. She cried some more, we talk and everything was fine. After I had filled out a bunch of forms, we walked down the hallway, of her new school, to meet her new teacher, Mrs. Ramiro, and all of Natalia's new classmates. When we opened the door to her new classroom, she started to cry again. I didn't think I was going to make it, but thank God, she stopped crying before I left. It has been one of the hardest things I've had to do. When I got to the car, I shed some tears too. After dropping her off, I went to Target to buy some items and found this cute little bunny. I decided this bunny along with a yummy Strawberries and Cream Starbucks drink might help her pain. So, I bought it. I met Natalia for lunch and to my surprise, she had a great big smile on her face. That made me very happy. Her teacher told me that she was doing great! After eating lunch with Natalia, she gladly and willingly went back to her classroom. When I came back to school to pick her up, I asked her if she had had a good day and with a big smile on her face, she said: "Yeah, and I made more friends than you did." ~~This little answer made my day.
Saturday night, we went to Peter Piper Pizza. The kids had a blast. My mom bought 100 coins and they spent it all in no time! Carson got to ride the front end loader, which lately, he has been fascinated with them! Luke's favorite part is actually putting the coins in the slot.
One Technology Center is the name of the 15- story high building I manage. Some of the tenants are VA, BSG, The Hartford and others. My first day back at work, which was Tuesday, I had a meeting with the asset manager (my boss whose office is in Austin, TX :0)), along with the two leasing agents, the property accountant and the two building engineers. I was thinking it was only going to be a two hour meeting, at the most, but no....it lasted until 4:00 p.m. As you can imagine, after the meeting, I had a long list of things to do. Overall, it has been fun going back to work. Very busy and a lot of meetings, but fun. Today, we had a lunch meeting at the Cheesecake Factory. Now tell me, how bad can that be.
Thanks to Grannie, I looked like this on my first day of work. Last Saturday, Grannie decided to take me out shopping. I mean SHOPPING! We started at Dillard's where they gave me a facial and applied my make up. And of course, Grannie bought me all that facial cleaning stuff plus all the make up to go with it. Then we went to Express and got this outfit you see in this picture plus some other blouses. Finally we went back to Dillard's and Grannie bought me this purse, which I just love. --Thank you Grannie!
