Today is Monday, we woke up earlier today to start the kids with their school work sooner. Bonnie made french toast, and I skipped breakfast like I have for the past few years. It’s too early to eat at 7am for me. I can’t really eat until 9am or 10am. When Bonnie lived in Spain back in college, the Spanish people didn’t eat much in the morning either, they would use the phrase that translates into English “my stomach isn’t open yet.”
After school, Bonnie took the kids to a local park. I stayed back to do work, I am appearing in court two times this week, the first will most likely be dropped as something we call a “pregrant” meaning all paperwork and notices are complete and the judge will grant my request. The other case I need to appear on, because a continuance is needed. When I felt like I could do all I could do at work, I Ubered to the park my family was at.
By the time I got there, the kids were pretty much done with playing. They found a cluster of assassin bugs on a bush. Thanks to reddit’s page “whatisthisbug” I was able to figure out they are assassin bugs and not a beetle or a cockroach.
We drove around after the park, and looked for a place for Chinese takeout. Bonnie parked and walked to a takeout place, and I looked back to talk to my third child and was awestruck at the view outside his window. There are beautiful churches like this all over this city.
Since the take out place was closed, we decided to take the kids to Pollo Feliz, again. Our youngest fell asleep while in the car, and he has never, EVER, woken up in a good mood. We pulled into the parking lot and he woke up and lit up, smiled a huge smile and said “YAAAAAAYYYY!” That was a first, we ate roughly the same food the last time we were there. The only thing different was I ordered a flan for dessert, Bonnie had cheesecake, and they were both terrible.
