No sleeping until Sunday!

I am finally calling it the end of my day! I was dreaming of an easy Saturday, but having to get my boys up early for THEIR dentist appointment, make their breakfast, nag them to brush their teeth before we leave, beg them to wear something clean smelling and not wrinkled, and please just look nice and not like you woke up 10 minutes ago. Sigh!

A few minutes later we were cruising over the Pali, at least the drive was wonderful. It relaxes me when I can just zone out and drive. I love when there are barely any cars on the road and I have miles of black asphalt all to myself. Alright, I admit it, sometimes I don't want to share ;) ha ha.

Great news at the dentist, No Cavities! I am so grateful! Since we were so close to Ala Moana Shopping Center, I thought I could just stop bye and do a quick exchange. Everything was going miraculously well. I found nice shady parking immediately, we walked straight to the store and made my exchange, we were done in 10 minutes.

Then it started, those voices, "I'm hungry." I somehow didn't escape the mall fast enough and now my boys had me trapped with their cute faces guilting me with the news of perfect dental exams and apparently following all my instructions this morning, even though it was for their benefit. They had me trapped and I fell for it. So I bought us all a nice lunch.

On our way back to the car, which was now on the opposite side of Ala Moana shopping center, we just so happened to walk past a store my older son liked and before I knew it, they had guided me right to it, and even talked me into buying them a couple things.

My total for the day...
Dentist co-pay $44.50
Lunch $25.00
Their shopping for things they apparently needed for school, at least that was part of the story, anyway $38.00

Here it comes, tissue ready...a day with my boys, yummy lunch, shopping, laughing, talking, and hanging out at the mall PRICELESS - of course!

Back at home...An hour of sort of rest, then I was out the door again. This time it was just me. Invitation to a friends event in Waikiki. Thank goodness there are lots of leftovers for the family in the fridge. Now its late and I'm home and so happy to finally crawl back into my bed that I left a little too early this morning.

I think I would really like to just lock my door, turn off my phone and any other electronic device that might even dare to wake me and sleep until Monday.

Relaxing wishes for as many weekend hours as you have left to enjoy! Sweet dreams.

Aloha,
Maile
