Day off...productive & rewarding!

Today I took the day off work to do some things for myself, & spend time with Julia. We woke up early & had breakfast together. At 8 a.m. we went to see the dentist for our 6 month checkup. The dentist told Julia that she had beautiful teeth...not one problem. I am proud of Julia, she takes good care of her teeth.
We ran some errands & then we went to The Pizza Factory for lunch. When we came home it was time to POWER clean.
Julia + Karilyn= Power! We worked together to get everything done.
List of things to do:
  • Dishes
  • Dust & vacuum
  • Change the sheets
  • 2 loads of laundry
  • Wash the blinds
  • Paint my old dresser
  • Clean the bathroom
Julia was so pleasant & helpful with every task. At 6:00 we took a break & had dinner together. At 6:30 we went to Westmore for "Back to School Night". Julia is really excited to learn cursive this year...she has beautiful penmanship. I am excited that she will learn key boarding...she can post her own blogs!
When we got home I thought of one more thing I needed help with. I called, "Julia will you come here please?" She quickly obeyed! When we were done I said "I appreciate your willingness to help me all day today." We hugged & Julia said "I love you, you are the best mom in the world."
WOW! I will never get tired of hearing that. Thank you Julia for making me feel so good.

Julia was always the best at working hard and getting things done. She had such of way of helping others to work hard and have fun while doing it. I miss you Julia!
