Manic Mondays

Plus you got a haircut. And they cancelled swimming...You are getting good at getting haircuts. You still need work on not saying everything you think. But that probably won't come for a while. You said the neighbor boy's mouth was dirty...He had cheese stains, probably just ate Cheetos or something...

Not that you weren't cute before, but now you're all stylish with your new do. Imagine how cute you'd be if we styled your hair and cared what clothes we dress you in? That's probably too much. I'll let you stay undercover cute for now. Sorry I can't stay home with you tomorrow. I have to celebrate Farm Workers Days with my coworkers. I'll pick you up early and we can eat dinner with mommy. She said she wants tacos. Don't worry, we'll eat at home so you can eat something else :)

Lazy Sundays

I know the day started early for a Sunday, but I'm glad we went to church this morning. We lucked out with a normal length mass (short for Palm Sunday). You got to see some surprise folks who were happy to see you as well. You got eat breakfast and go to My Gym. We got to hang out with your cousin Faith for her birthday. You got to nap. And now it's 9:31PM and you're not in bed yet.

Life is busy, but at least we got to relax after your nap. It's back to the grind tomorrow and gonna be a rollercoaster week. You're off Friday from So, but there's going to be lots of church this week and seeing family and friends. I can emphasize enough. Time is a limited resource. You need to make sure you make time for the things that are important (not just important to you). See how much we got done today and still able to have a "Lazy Sunday"? We made it happen because it's important. 

Shen Yun Saturdays

And you got to spend time with Uncle Art and Aunty Minh. They really like you. I'm sorry they had to go to the Hill or they would have stayed longer. I can reiterate and reblog enough about how important it is to have good people around you. It doesn't have to be family. It can be friends. It's up to you to maintain the relationships we've started for you and to find new relationships as well.

Remember that it's easy to be around you when things are going well. You should remember the people who are around and support you when things aren't going well. Those are the people you want around. Those are probably the same people who will tell you the truth and help you grow, even if it hurts. It can sometimes be hard to see that. I hope you do.

Short Term Memory

This is why I really need to stay on top of this. I honestly don't recall what happened Friday. I remember waking up early Saturday and eating and going back to sleep, but I don't recall what else happened that day. We played outside and I made you more bubble solution. I made you fried rice and mommy went to do the Stations of the Cross.

The end of the Lenten Season is coming. I didn't do as much as I wanted to, but I am going to put myself in a better place before Jesus comes back. I've always found this time of year where I feel extra spiritual and motivated. I hope you're able to find motivation and peace as well. Not necessarily during this time of year. I'm not going to pretend I'm writing this Friday. It's Sunday night...

Catching Up

I need to check if I can blog from my phone or not since I now have mommy's old phone (it's so big and heavy).

Sorry I couldn't sleep with you yesterday or take you to So today. I think mommy really wants to spend time with you. You should really like/love her. She's not so bad. She loves you a lot, but I get it. She used to love me a lot too. You should probably enjoy it while you can. Someday she may not have enough love or time for you. That's kind of how life is. If only we knew these were the "good times" while we were in them. That way we can enjoy them more. So I guess the lesson there is to appreciate and enjoy each day (as if it's your last). I wonder if you'll remember the good times you're having now. I don't think I remember anything before I was like 4 and my real memories only started after 5. You're having good times sir, but you always want to be home. Even at home, the times are good :) 

WWW Wednesday

I went to work today. Then I went home. Then I went back to work. Then we went home. Then we went swimming. Then we went home. Then we went to dinner. Then we went home. It was early, but you still went to bed late. We also didn't win the lottery. Lots of WWW today...

I know you don't want mommy to go to work. I'm going to keep trying to win the lottery so that she doesn't have to. At least until you no longer care about mommy going to work. It's Hump Day. Half the work/So week is over. It's almost the weekend. You'll get to see Aunty Minh and Uncle Art. Woohoo!!!

Superhero Vinh

Look what mommy got you. We also discovered the secret in the lights today. I really hope you don't keep turning on the new lights. You already have one of each color opened. Save the other ones for when those run out.

You have a kind heart and you want to help people. I hope that's something you keep forever. The world is going to challenge your kindness and resolve. Hard work and dedication will help you stay the path. We have come a long way from where Ong and Ba came from. The sky is the limit to where you can go and what you can do and how "super" you can be. No pressure. Just be happy, be good, and be able to take care of yourself and others.
