Hello! So last Friday, I received some bad news. While others tried to cheer me up, it was no use. Nothing could make me feel not sad. I don't know if anyone understood the disappointment I felt. But I tried to push it to the back of my mind and not think about it. Instead, I focused on the weekend which was filled with fun Easter-related activities.
This is Eggster. I needed hours for Jumpstart so I went bright and early to this event for kids.
Our booth was making rockets and binoculars using toilet paper rolls, construction paper, glitter, and sequins.
We had a reading mat with lots of books. A really cute couple stopped by and was reading to their 1 and 1/2 year old boy. He was wayy more into his snack than the books.
This was my build a bunny. By this time it had lost its lips, tail and feet.
This is Alex's build a bunny, It has a heart inside just like build-a-bears. Mine only had chocolate which James ate.
BTW, this was for Macky! awwww
Then we went to PCN where I proceed to sleep. The hiphop dancing was cool!
Then came the great nap. So basically, James and I fell asleep on Alex's futon and then woke up to darkness and no one. Alex had left to get dinner and we had been asleep on his futon for about 3 hours. We were up playing games then night before and I had to get up early for Eggster. Aish..so dumb.
The game was fun tho!
That was Saturday.
Sunday was the picnic. I got a little sunburned on my back but overall it was great!
When I got back from the picnic. It was time to face the music. I was going to take a nap but I had to call my mom. Tears kept coming down my face as I told her the bad news. She tried to comfort me but it was really no use. I didn't want to be sad but I couldn't help it. I couldn't help feeling the sense of failure and disappointment in myself. I don't think I hve ever felt like this before. But I talked to her and she tried to cheer me up and told me not to be sad. I felt a little bit better after I had cried out the pent up sadness I felt the whole weekend.
I snuck in a little nap then went to get dinner with Alex, Agustin, Cheriz, and James. We went to gorge ourselves in Ribs. I was really worried for Alex and Agustin who haven't had meat in 40 days! They seemed okay.
I had a midterm on Monday. Sunday night was me falling asleep and studying on and off all night. My midterm was okay, but that opinion is subject to change when I see my grade. I went to work, committee meeting, then came home and passed out. When I woke up, I made some steak and string beans and then had a nice long late night chat.
It's so nice to know that you have someone who is there to listen to you. To cheer you up when you are down or to share the joy with you when good things are happening in you life. yay!
Nutella cupcakes that I made!
Tuesday was a really really windy day. Preschool was interesting. When I saw my preschooler, she was busy coloring a fish with crayons. Then I asked her to go in the classroom to sign her name. The poster was about what she was feeling today. She looked really really sad. The choices were: Happy, Laughing, Mad or Sad. She just stood there looking at the other people as they signed in. She really did not want to participate. I thought she had forgotten how to write her name but I dont know what was going on with her. She ended up being really sad and not wanting to do anything so I just took her outside where she continued to color her fish.
Then it was time for snack and I read her a book about a little fish and his friends. IT was a really fun and colorful book that she really enjoyed. THen during circle time, she didn't want to participate again. She just stood there as we sang songs and did movements. But then when we got to reading time, I thought she wouldn't want to do anything. But then she was like I want to read a book! So she picked outa really fun interactive book about animals. I read it twice and then she read it. We took turns making the animal sounds. Then we read a book about seasons. We read it a couple times switching off reading. Then she had to go home. It's amazing what a smile on a little kid's face can do to you. ITs as if all the troubles in the world have disappeared and there is only happiness. Oh, I am so cheezy but still. IT was a reat day after not seeing the preschoolers for 3 weeks.
It was so windy I think I got sick. I was feeling really terrible and so I went to bed at like 10pm. THen I woke up in the middle of the night for 1 hour and then continued to sleep.
I feel better now but I am still recovering. I should be fine by tomorrow.
