August 11-17

Monday, I woke up to an incredibly empty and quiet house. Jon had to open, and I was left to my own vices without the kids. My parents were bringing them back around 6, but I worked at 5, so I was lonely all day until Jon got home. I got off work an hour early, so the girls were still awake when I got home. They were happy to be home. Maddie showed me the hole in her mouth from where her tooth used to be. Silas heard me and started laughing and smiling a lot. It was nice to be welcomed like that. haha

Tuesday, Silas did not sleep very well. I had to go downstairs twice in the middle night. He woke up about 8 too. Kira was awake when I came down. Maddie woke up soon after. She was excited that the "Tooth Fairy" left her money. She knows there is no tooth fairy, but she wants to play along, so I caved in.

Wednesday it was gross. There were thunderstorms and it was dark and muggy outside. Jon opened, and I closed, so we didn't see much of each other. He worked out after I left and had dinner ready for me when I got home. It was nice to have a meal waiting for me. 

Thursday, Jon closed, but I had the day off. Maddie's Open House for her school was that evening at 5, so I had some time to spare before I had to do much. I had Jon clean out the vacuum for me. It works amazingly now! I ended up shampooing the carpets too, although our carpet is so old and literally worn out that you can't tell. I took the kids to Maddie's school. We met her teacher. I also met her music teacher and her PE teacher who happens to be very attractive! haha! I didn't really get a chance to meet him because all the moms were flocked around him, but I definitely admired from a distance. lol. We ate some hot dogs in her cafeteria and I showed her the library. She was SO excited about the library. I love that she is a book nerd. I came home and the girls played for a bit. I put them and Silas to bed. Since Jon has been making me dinners after I close, I did the same for him!

Friday, I got my first paycheck from work. Jon had his long day at work, but he text me when the checks got there. I shampooed the carpets again before going out and depositing the check then running over to WalMart. A co-worker of ours is having his first baby boy so I wanted to get him a few things. I dropped them back off work and came home. I shampooed the girls' room and sent them outside to play. I watched some Veronica Mars. I used to love that show when it was on. My inner 90's girl freaked out when I saw Jonathan Taylor Thomas was on an episode. haha. I made some dinner for Jon and we ate. Jon usually has inventory in the mornings, but because his vacation started the following day, he went back in late that night. I made brownies and watched a few more of my episodes. Our coworker came over after and we hung out for a few hours. 

Saturday was the start of Jon's vacation. I had to work at 5, but before I went to work we ran a few errands to get ready for Jon's party the following day. We ran around then got Jimmy Johns. Jon loves that place. haha. I rode my bike to work and closed. Jon got pizza for dinner and saved some for me when I got home. I got a new bike seat so it was a lot more comfy. 

Sunday we had a little get together for Jon's birthday. It was kind of a halfsies because one of the guys from work is going to school in Moscow, so it was a goodbye party for him too. It was a lot of fun. Two guys brought jungle juice, two more brought some beer, we provided food. One of the guys brought his daughter, so the girls had someone to play with too. It was pretty fun. 

Jon, Jesse, Jake, Jorge and Oliver.
