Our Week with Ella's first golf match, Lunch with LA, and The Shalom Journey.

Hey Y'all! Happy Monday! I meant to get this post up last Tuesday but that didn't happen so it's happening today! I am recapping the last week of February before we left for Puerto Rico. 





Monday, February 26th- 

Coffee and Jesus. Ben left for work around 5:45 and I was up so I got my day started. I let Ella sleep in to make sure she was feeling ok and still fever free and she was!! Praise the Lord! She checked in after 1st period. I did a clean sweep of the house, washed towels, our sheets, called the garage repair guy, typed a blog post, got ready, made a few Amazon returns, picked up CFA, and headed to Ella's golf match that started at 3:15. 





Ella finished 17 over but her team bet all the other girls teams. 

After her match, Ella headed to Tacky Prom at Young Life. While Ben and I met Jud and Stephanie at El Real for dinner. 

We got home close to 9PM. Ella got home around 9:15. I put up the dog food, started the coffee for the next day, showered, skin care, and crawled into bed. 





Tuesday, February 27th-


Ben was up early again to head to work. He is working on a big account. He left around 5:45 again. I was up with the dogs so I just stayed up. Poured my coffee, got in my chair, and started my quiet time. 

I got Ella up around 6:40 because she was going to breakfast with some friends. I made her lunch, got her water bottle filled up and she left around 7:10. I wanted to finish my coffee time so I finished my quiet time, scrolled IG, and read until 8ish. I switched out some laundry and got a ride on the Peloton. I ate breakfast, unloaded the dishwasher, reloaded it, started more dog food so I had plenty for when we were gone, fed my sourdough starter, and took a shower. Got ready, made Ella's bed with clean sheets, worked on 3 blog post, and then went to meet Leigh Anne for lunch at 12:30. 

Got home around 2. Put in some eye drops and put on my glasses because my eyes were burning from looking at the computer for so long. 




I sent this to Ella earlier in the morning wondering how this could even be comfortable. 




As I worked on the computer for a long time this particular day, Trixie was very happy that I wasn't moving most of the day!! 




Ella got home and changed before heading to golf practice. I had planned to grill lemon pepper chicken but we were not all that hungry so Ella and I just ate some pasta salad that I had made earlier in the day. 

After practice she got home, changed clothes again, and headed to a basketball game. I was exhausted so I ran a bath, Ben got home, changed into jeans, and headed to the basketball with Ella. 

They got home and we all crashed. 


Wednesday, February 28th- 


Ben left around 5:45 again this morning for work. The dogs got up when he went downstairs so I let them out to potty and fed them breakfast. I wasn't ready to get up so I went back to bed. I got up at 7 to wake Ella up, fix her lunch, and fill her water bottle. She left around 7:30 for tutoring. 
Once all that was done, I poured a cup of coffee to sit down in my chair for my quiet time. 

I eventually got ready, picked up lunch, and headed to visit my sister and brother-in-law. Mom was able to visit was us and it was good for all of us. After lunch and Tonya got Stacey settled we walked a mile to get Tonya out of the house for a little bit. 
We chatted for a little bit longer and I stopped by Publix on my way home to pick Ella and I up subs for dinner because we thought Ben was working late. 
I was hoping to get in and out of Publix before the downpour but that didn't happen so when I came out, I got SOAKED. When I got home, I took a shower, and put on my pjs. Ella and I ate and I was pretty much useless for the rest of the evening. HA 

Ben ended up getting home a little after 5PM and was laying in bed by 5:30. The early mornings and late nights finally caught up to him. He wasn't hungry because he had a late lunch. I think he was asleep by 7:30PM! 

Ella left around 6:30 to head to campaigners and got home a little before 9PM. I went to bed shortly after she got home. 


Thursday, February 29th- 


Ben didn't leave quiet so early this morning. The dogs got up when he went downstairs so I let them out to potty and fed them breakfast. I wasn't ready to get up so I went back to bed. I got up at 7 to wake Ella up, fix her lunch, and fill her water bottle. Once all that was done, I poured a cup of coffee to sit down in my chair for my quiet time. 

I got in the shower around 8:30 to head to The Oasis by 9:30. I enjoyed The Shalom Journey from 10-12Pm. It was an amazing class. 
After that I had a spray tan appointment and once again ran into Publix to get everything the girls will need while we are gone next week. 

I got home a little before 2, ate lunch, and came to sit down at the computer to type a couple more blog post so that I am ahead when we get back from PR. 

Ella got home from school, changed clothes, and headed to golf practice. I started packing. Ella got home eventually Ben got home, I made a frozen pizza for dinner, and we called it a night!!! 


Friday, March 1st- 


Ben headed to the office. I poured my coffee and enjoyed my quiet time. Got Ella up, made her lunch and filled her water bottle, she headed to school, and I got ready to head to my 8:30 hair appointment. 
After my hair appointment, I ran to Target, grabbed lunch, and headed to my noon nail appointment. Once I got home, I finished packing, Ella got home early, and headed to a basketball game. 

I finally crashed on the couch. Ben got home late and packed. Then he crashed and I waited up for Ella to get home from the game. My alarm was set for 2:30AM to head to Puerto Pico. Once she was home, I CRASHED! 


Stayed tuned for my Puerto Rico recap.
