Ruby Tuesday

Morning:
A bit tired this morning. Gabriel woke up around 3:30 for his bottle,  he drank it but didn't want to go back to sleep. So I took him to the other room so he could try to go to sleep. I put him down to play with some toys, he fell asleep eventually. Woke up around 6:45, to eat and poop. Now having coffee, about to head out and drop Javi off to school. Try to hit up Trader Joe's after.
In was able to go to Trader Joe's and some items I needed for later today. Gabriel was great during Javi's school drop off and at Trader Joe's, we came home I changed him, got the clothes from downstairs, fed him and he was out. My wife came over to eat lunch, we had the leftover spaghetti. After I got Gabriel ready to go pick up his brother.

Afternoon:
Picked up Javi and came home. It was really windy out. Made him some Star Wars Mac and cheese, he liked the shapes. I read Green Eggs and Ham to the boys. Gabriel has been very fussy and had not eaten well since his 11:15 bottle. I think that he is irritated due to possible gum irritation. I put some baby gel relief on his gums and he fell asleep.
Right now just hanging out, about to fold some more clothes and see what happens next. For dinner making those chicken burritos and quesadillas.

Nighttime:
Burritos and quesadillas were a success. Haven't lost my touch on those. Washed all the dishes and put away everything that was used. Played War, Go Fish and Connect 4 with Javi. After I went to put Gabriel to sleep. I came out of the room to find my wife and Javi in the kitchen waiting. Javi had been on a 2 day time out from the tablet or tv, I have to say that he did very well. Starting tomorrow we are going to try to limit his tv and tablet intake during the week.
After Javi goes to bed, it's shower time and I will take some time to decompress and go to bed. It was a long day. Plan for tomorrow is drop Javi at school and later go pick him up at my sister's house.
Let's see how that goes.

It's just another manic Monday

Morning:
Some people hate Mondays, I don't mind them. Today it was, well, it is raining. Of course Gabriel decided to give us the gift of poop all over his back. We cleaned him up and started getting ready, my wife for work, Javi for school and me for the day with Gabriel.
It was a tough commute to drop off Javi to school with the rain. Not sure why the rain makes people drive like a bunch of donkeys,  but yeah, it was that kind of morning. I got back home and finished feeding Gabriel, he is taking a nap now. Going to try to watch Bright on Netflix while he naps.

Afternoon:
My wife came home for lunch, she played with thr baby. My Mom was going to have Myrna with her, but it was raining to hard so she only picked up Javi and came over. I changed the wiper blades on my mother-in-laws car (in the rain) moved the cars to the other side of the street.
Javi came home,  I reviewed his weekly assignments for homework and we got Monday's work out of the way. Right now he is playing with the mystery minis that I have. Later I will make spaghetti for dinner.

Nighttime:
So, I made the spaghetti, started to make the chicken that I will use tomorrow for the return of my homemade burritos and quesadillas and started some laundry. Don't know how tomorrow will be with the rain but I hope I can get out to go to Trader Joe's or somewhere to get an onion and maybe an avocado. Right now I am watching Raw and putting Gabriel to sleep, he is tired. About to go out and play with Javi a bit, see if I clean the bathroom, shower and watch some tv.
All in all, today was a good day. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
Update: watched some Seinfeld and played some Madden. Haven't played the game in some time, it was fun beating the Seahawks

Easy like Sunday morning

Morning:
So Gabriel woke up at 3 am for a feeding and close to 6 for another. I gave him the bottle at 6ish, took him down to try to sleep and he let out a good amount of poop. It ran out of his diaper up his back a little, but, like a pit crew, I was able to get him cleaned up. I took him to another room and played for a bit, he took a nap. After I got some coffee, did some house work and now we are cleaning and watching some football.

Afternoon:
So we cleaned up the kitchen, living room and put away all of the Christmas decorations and took those to the storage room. After we went to Serramonte and had sandwiches at Ike's.  They were good, but expensive. After we walked around the mall and for some groceries at Target for the week. Came home,  rested while watching the Panthers and Saints game.
They say a big storm is coming, so we went out to get Javi a rain coat as he starts school again tomorrow. We went to Tanforan and could not find one anywhere, so we settled on one that was in the style of a frog.
I just put Gabriel to sleep, now goingto see what happens next.

Nighttime:
I played with Javi for a bit,  we played a shapes game. I helped him get ready for bed. While my wife put him to sleep, I took a shower, made some food and watched some Seinfeld episodes. Going to watch a few more and go to bed, tomorrow school drop offs begin and a storm is on the way.

It's deja vu all over again

Morning:
I got to sleep in a bit today. My back was hurting due to a contortionist showcase I had to pull last night in bed. Got up, had some coffee and pastries. Then started to clean up a bit. Tossed out a lot of those plastic cups that for some odd reason we keep brining home to clutter. It felt good to get rid of them. Stl have a lot more cleaning and tossing to do. For lunch we are heading out to Masu in San Mateo for all you can eat sushi, after maybe do some shopping for a dish drying rack.

Afternoon:
We went to Masu and had some good sushi. After we came home and hung out. I updated the navigation system in our pathfinder and played with Javi outside for some time. After I saw the end of the Titans  vs Chiefs game, titans pulled off the upset. Now I am playing games with Javi and watching ATL vs LAR

Nighttime:
So, tonight was fun. Had a beer, a few mimosas and since my wife didn't want anymore and there was no cap for the champagne, I had to Andre the Giant that bottle (for those of you who don't know, that means I finished it myself) I played connect 4 with Javi and a quick game of War. We were playing with my mystery mini figures and he went off to bed.
After I took a shower,  now I am watching some Seinfeld episodes and soon will go to bed. Tomorrow has a full to do list of 2 Football games, house cleaning and some handy work, along with getting ready for Monday to do it all over again.

Intensity, integrity and intelligence

Morning:
Today was an interesting day. Last night, I was close to finally starting to create my character in WWE 2K18 when my wife told me that Javi didn't want to go to sleep and she felt sick so she would sleep in the other room. I turned everything off and went to the room to make sure he fell asleep and to be closer to Gabriel in case he woke up.
Gabriel woke up around 11:45, I was able to put him back to sleep and he didn't get up again until his 1:30 am feeding.
He had a good night, at 7am I put clothes to dry and at 8am I had coffee and a scone, I made Javi some milk and toast.
At 9am I fed Gabriel and he is napping, when he gets up, we are off to Serramonte for a bit. Let's see how that adventure goes.

Afternoon:
So Serramonte was a success, well, besides Javi acting out a bit. He was upset since I told him I would not buy him any new toys until he picks up his toys at home. So he was angry. But other than that, it was a good trip. Got some medicine for my wife and I couldn't find the one for Javi.
We got home and hung out for a bit, I folded the clothes while my wife are lunch and hung out with the kids. After she left I packed the kids again and headed to McDonald's to get Javi and his cousin Myrna Happy Meals.
We got to my sister's house and the elevator continues to be broken, not the Matt Hardy type of Broken, just the old beat up kind. So I had to carry Gabriel up the stairs and to the house. We ate, now I am just waiting for the time to pass to go see the new baby.

Nighttime:
So was able to meet the baby. She is very cute. Her parents are doing well, just tired. Stayed for about an hour, left to let her rest. I am so happy for them.
I got home, waited for my wife so we can go pick up the boys. It was raining a bit and I was sent out to get some Popeye's,  however they were only taking cash, and I didn't have cash. Next option, KFC. Got the food came home.
When I came home, I washed some bottles, changed the baby into his Chewbacca Pjs, gave him a bottle,  swaddled him and put him to sleep. Today's music choices were: Landslide,  Ribbon in the Sky and How Deep is Your Love.
Let's see what tomorrow will bring,  as they say, look out weekend, here we come, because weekends were made for fun!

It's Rusev Day!!

Morning:
My wife fed Gabriel around 7ish, I got up, cleaned the bed, had a coffee and scone while setting up to watch Wrestle Kingdom 12 Alpha vs Omega. The morning has been good so far, brought in the recycling bin, attempted to play the PJ Mask game with Javi (ended in a no contest due to him being mad that I got close to winning). Got the boys dressed in their RKO shirts and now about to feed Gabriel.
Plan for today is to go out and visit my friend and friendly neighborhood toy dealer Arnel and be home by 3 as my sister should be coming over at 3.

Afternoon:
Alright, so afternoon came and went without a hitch. Got the kids ready to go and drove over to visit Arnel. We had a fun conversation regarding movies (the last jedi) and wrasslin' (Jericho vs Omega, WWE, etc) we even talked about a new addition to the extended family. Aria Leia was born today to my good friends Brian and Aisha, now with her and Samina they are a family of 4.
Fun fact, on 12/8/17 I wrote 2 names on a post-it. Since Brian was bring coy about the name of the baby, I figured they would give the baby one of the following names. I wrote down 'Carrie' or 'Leia'. So today when they announced her name, it wasn't a big shock, but a very nice name nonetheless.  Heading out tomorrow for a visit to meet her.
When we got home, my Mom, sister, brother-in-law and nephew were waiting for us. They came to visit the kids. Let's see what the rest of the day holds for us.

Nighttime:
So, my wife came home and we talked about her day, she wanted to go to In-and-out for a burger, so we went. We came home to eat, I struck a deal with my son to eat at least half of his plain hamburger and tomorrow as a treat I  would get him a Happy meal. He reluctantly agreed and ate half of the meat and some dino nuggets. I gave Gabriel his bottle around 7, he should be sound asleep right now. I have to go wash and sanitize his bottles and wash some clothes. Clean up a bit, so I have less to do tomorrow.
Update on that, washed the clothes, washed the bottles and dishes. The plan is to go out to find some goodies (if it's not raining) drop off the kids to my mom while I go visit Brian, Aisha and the new baby, not sure is Samina will be there. For now, waiting on the last load to finish and playing a little bit of WWE 2K18. Good night folks.

BONUS:
So at work I was part of a mentor project. It was the 2nd time I was part of the project and the 8 people that I helped were really cool and really smart. They really put in great effort to prove themselves, even in the tough circumstances they had to face. So my last week with them was, well. Last week. I decided to email them to check up on them to show them that even though I was not physically there, that I was still with them, kind of like their ow. Force Ghost Yoda. They appreciated it and I appreciatedd their responses. I am really happy to have them as my peers.

It's Wednesday... you know what that means

Morning:
Gabriel woke up around 5 for a feeding, went back to sleep until about 6 when he had his morning poop. I took him to the other room to finish up. Changed his diaper and came out for coffee, a scone and a warm bottle. It's day 2 of my wife going back to work and Javi Ilis still having issues with her going back. Right now he is eating some eggs! Yes, you heard correctly, eggs!
Today will be a busy day, after this I will get the boys ready in our Niners gear and later meet my Mom with my niece and nephews over at Tanforn to go to Hop n' play.

Afternoon:
So, after Ulisa goes back to work, I get both kids ready as my Mom was coming over with Myrna. I moved the booster seats into the car and off to Hop N' Play we went. The kids had fun, they played and laughed. All of a sudden I see that Javi and Myrna were fighting about something (like all kids do) so I had to go play peace maker. I had my Mom feed Gabriel and I went to supervise what was going on with the kids, by this time they were the best of friends.
After I was able to put Gabriel down for a nap, I snuck out real quick when he woke up to get them a side of fried rice from Panda Express and hit up Starbucks for a doppio con panna. It hit the spot. Around 4ish we headed home and now I am sitting at El Farolito waiting on 2 super burritos. Let's see what happens next.

Nighttime:
Burritos were delicious. So, I was putting Gabriel to sleep, so today's songs were (again) How Deep is Your Love (HDIYL), Landslide the Dixie Chicks cover and The Cowboy Rides Away by George Strait, he was out 3/4 of the way into the song. He really likes his music. Now, going out to see what Javi and my wife are doing.
So not much going on. Javi on his tablet, my wife watching Game if Thrones and some show with some people who weigh 600 + pounds. They went to bed, I was up for a bit watching Seinfeld and signing up to watch New Japan Pro Wrestling Wrestle Kingdom 12, so I can see Chris Jericho vs Kenny Omega.
That show starts at 11 pm, the match will be in the wee hours of the morning. I ain't staying up for that. So I will watch it in the morning before going out.
So, there you have it, day 2.

BONUS: 
One of my peers (Maria) at work who I was assisting in a mentor program texted me thanking me for believing in her, even when she didn't.
This was a very sweet message. One of the things I would like to do this year is to be a better person overall. So this tells me that I did something right. But as I always told her, I can believe all I want, but she has to prove to herself, that I was right.
On that note, see you all tomorrow, it should be a fun day, after all, it's Rusev Day!
