Nicole had a volleyball game this morning. I woke her up TWICE before she finally got moving, about 15 minutes before she was supposed to be there. She's already on Argentine-time, how quickly they adapt.
Lisette joined her a few hours later for soccer - neither of them knowing that they had a game, not a practice - actually a tournament, not just a game! Seems to be a communication problem between the coach and the team. Unfortunately the communication breakdown continued because the girls never got around to telling us they had games so we expected a call for a pick-up at two (when "practice" was supposed to end.) By 2:45, John was driving to the school to see what the heck was going on. Breathe.
Actually, other than sleepy-head and the bone-headed soccer issues, it was a great day! :-)
When we finally gathered our kids, John and I took Nicole and her girlfriend to the hall where Nicole's having her Quinceneara. We made the final payment for the hall, met with the caterer and the DJs and made some plans for the physical set-up we can all live with. Very productive couple of hours.
Back home, we hung out and made some phone calls. Then took Lisette and Jake to our friends house so Lisette could babysit the boys while parents went out to dinner. Before we went to dinner, we dropped Nicole and Melanie at Melanie's house...for Melanie's surprise birthday party!! Surprise Melanie!! We were in cahoots with the party planner and we had to work in a delayed arrival by stopping at the grocery store - I drew a blank on needing anything but John saved the day by mentioning he needed razors. Whew!
Dinner was fabulous - accompanied by a cocktail lounge singer who sang the classics from the 60s and 70s. Fun!
Now it's pouring outside - I didn't even know we might have rain. It's late, I'm tired and the house is cozy and warm! Goodnight!
