I have been wanting to do some things on my own for a while. Like go shopping, get a coffee, look for a book, all without 3 crazy kids with me. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids, but I need a break sometimes. This summer I've been with them 24 hours a day and with Jose being gone, that was tough. I was starting to think of my kids as annoying and that's not how I want to see them!! So today, I went to McCutcheon in the morning and met with two of the other teachers there for about two hours. Then I had to go to Wal-Mart to get some necessities for the house, but it was nice because I was by myself. It felt like a vacation. I dropped the stuff I bought off at the house after that.
Then I went to the mall and bought some shoes at Macy's and some shirts at B.Moss and at JCPenney. I also bought some jeans and shirts for Joshua for school. After that, I went to the AT&T store to ask some questions about my new phone.
I had a Weight Watchers meeting at 6 and I was excited to go to that because I knew I had lost weight. I have lost 21 pounds total!!! I got a special little key ring today because I have lost 10% of my body weight. I was so proud of myself! I still have a little ways to go, but I'm more than halfway there!
After my meeting, I went to Barnes and Noble. I got a Starbucks and then went to browse the books. I looked at some knitting books and found some really cool ones, but I decided to wait for the educator appreciation days where I will geta discount. I did buy 3 Spanish books that I want for my classroom. I picked out about 8 to look at and went over to one of those armchairs they have and browsed my books and drank my caffe mocha. I decided which ones I liked the best and paid for them. I know it doesn't sound like a big deal, but it was a great day for me. I feel relaxed and I was so happy to see the kids when I got home!
