Father’s Day weekend

This Saturday morning my little one and I are doing school work. Today, she’s got the attention span of a bunny. We get to do one small thing then she is off to doing something else. We have to do two more lessons and she is not having it. Then I just start playing the video that she needs to see anyway. She hears it and now she is interested and so we do our lesson. I’ve noticed she’s always practically on top of me. Always wanting to sit on my lap. Is this normal for little kids. Do they not understand personal space? Not or mommy! lol We take care of a bunch of school work that we did not get to do during the week as I am working and can not take care of my job and schoolwork at the same time. But Grandma helps her with reading, writing and arithmetic! Today, we are tackling a whole bunch of home from work online that she should have been doing at school. I feel really horrible for all of the kids who don’t have their friends around them during this time of the pandemic. I see my own little one, she misses her friends and being around other kids and really misses school. Having a routine and being around her peers.
We then are pokemoning from home. There are little pokemon characters to catch and we are doing that until late afternoon. Dinner was all of the good left overs that are still in the fridge from the left from the week.

On Sunday morning, we looked outside and saw two little deer in the front yard. We must have scared one of them off as the poor thing ran into the fence. Before they ran off however, these little cute devils were feasting on my flowers. So much for having a pretty yard.
Today is Fathers day and we do not have much planed for the day. We are still in quarantine and are not planning on going anywhere. We may go pokemoning at the end of the day. I’m not sure what the day will bring but hopefully it will be a good one.
In the morning my little love and I do some more homework for school. The school year is almost over and we need to get all of our assignments done prior to the end of the year. We will need to continue doing assignments, especially reading an writing throughout the summer.

Reflecting on father’s day, my husband is the best daddy to his daughter. He will do anything to put a smile on her face. Even when he has bad days at work, he is always happy to see her. Daddy is always talking about “carinho” meaning that he needs some love from our little love.

While he is relaxing and watching The Flash on Netflix, I am taking care of the mail and the little one is coloring on the living room floor right by daddy’s feet. She really wants to be next to daddy all day long. It is a relaxing afternoon and I’m loving it.
My love love dove then wanted to go outside for a little while in the afternoon. It started getting cooler and she wanted to run around a for a little bit. At that time we saw the little deer again. Of course, eating my plants. They are truly really cute with their little spots and their little voices. We were able to get a close to them. My daughter wanted to pet them and I told her it was not a good idea because as cute as they are, they carry ticks. Plus, just because they were by themselves doesn’t mean their mama isn’t nearby. However, they seem to be all by themselves. We were near them for a few minutes and did not see an adult. I hope their mama isn’t the one that was run over the other day on my road. Anyway, they found a nice place where they can find some nice food and they kept on coming back to feast at our house.

In the evening, we play pokemonGo and watch a beautiful sunset. While we were pokemoning, the song Me Too by Meghan Trainer was playing. My baby girl loved it! She loved it so much that we had to play it and replay it, over and over again. We then listened to some hip hop music and then back to Meghan Trainer. We have satellite radio and can replay songs. It’s a nice feature to have when you have a little one who wants to listen to the same song over and over and over and over again.

At nigh, we had a dance party. We listed to Me Too all over again and me and my little one were dancing in the living room. She even got out her microphone with “Frozen” characters and was singing and dancing. We must have listed to that same song at least five times before we both got tired and had a midnight snack with some milk. My little one has a piece of chocolate and I watched as I am dieting. All the while my husband is making bread for tomorrows breakfast and lunch for all of us to enjoy. Such a good hubby, even on fathers day!

I hope everyone had a happy fathers day. I hope that you had a dad and not just a father. I see how my husband is with his child and I’m sure she will cherish the days for all of her life. I hope it is the same case for you. As for me, we had bit of a hard childhood. My dad did the best he could with what he had. He was working overseas for most of my childhood and I only got to see him once or twice per year. The time I’ve spent with him was pretty good but he was always working trying to make money for us five to be able to eat and live. We’ve had to live by the generosity of others for a long time. But we pulled through and did not have the need for offerings of others. Today we are better than we did when I was a child. And that is a good thing. I thing this is where I get my work ethic from. Onward and upward.

Stay safe and healthy!
