What did I do in myWeekend

What did I do on weekendOh my god? Believe me I have many things to do during weekend until I hate weekend and I look to the last minutes on Sunday to start a new week.Let me start with you from the beginning. I am a single mother and I have three children. You imagine what I have to do during the weekdays or on weekend. First I will start with my last busy Friday.I dropped my children on their school and I came back to my home. I got a massage on my answering machine from my young son telling me that he forgot his candy bags and his uniform in my car. I ran to his school to give him his uniform and the candy bags. Unfortunately, the school parking lot was full, I decided to park my car very far away, in the end of the street and I walked to the school in a heavy rainy morning. I gave my son his stuff and I came back to my home.

9:00 a.m. I sat on my computer typing my homework and finishing my research paper. I was shocked when I looked to my watch: it was 12:30. I ran to my younger son school to participate with the Halloween parade. I was late 30 minutes and I went immediately to my son class. I did not find any body. I ran to the hallway and found the students outside the building in their parade. I walked with my son and his friends. (No need to mention that my son was upset because I was late and all the mothers were there with their kids). When the students finished their parade and their tricky treat adventure, we went to their class for the party. We ate some candies and cake and I took nice pictures for my son and his teacher and friends. The party was done and the students left to their home. Actually it was fun to share the kids this event.

Wait and see, it did not finish, my Friday was long day,
My oldest son was selected to be a member of the National Honor Society – in his high school and they had an induction ceremony Friday at 5:00 p.m.
So, I went to the ceremony with my 3 children. It was an utmost party. Dearborn Height Mayor, the principle, the vice principle and Michigan Education board members were invited to this party. They called each student by his name and honored him individually on the stage. I took pictures for my son and for Dearborn Heights mayor. But believe me, they talked a lot. I almost slept on my chair. I wake up when my daughter called me to take pictures for my oldest son on the stage. Do not get me wrong, I am so proud of my son but I was so tired from the first parade and party. The ceremony finished at 7:00 p.m. and we left to our home.

7:30 p.a. Time for tricky treat in our block, I opened my door at 7:30 and distributed some candies and cookies for the children. My children helped me for 10 minutes and then they went to their tricky treat trip with our neighbor. I felt some kind of anxious. Distributing some candies for the children was fun but being alone in the house and opening the main door was not safety. So I turned the light off and I shut the door. (Announcing no more treats with me)

Guys, it was not over, trust me I am not exaggerated, but the weekend days are my full busy days.
It was 9: 30 P.m. I made a dinner for my children and we chatted on the table for fifty minutes and then I sent them for their bed, even my 16 years old boy went to his bed because he was tired from his induction ceremony.
Now is time to study. I sat on my computer finishing my project for EDC 440 class, and working on my comp 227 revising essays until 2:00 am. After that I went to my bed and slept as died goat.



Saturday
New day and more errands
I sent my children to their Arabic school at 10: a.m. and I went to U M D library to study for my EDC 440 presentation. I stayed in the library until 2:30 p.m. time to pick my children from their Arabic school. While we were coming to our home we passed by my grand mother home, having lunch with her and came back to my home.

6:00 p.m. I drove my daughter on her Michigan Scout and went to grocery shopping with my boys. We came back to home at 8:00 p.m.
Wait, I did not finish, I gave my younger son a bath, prepared a light dinner for the kids, I listened for my daughter reading a poem, listened for my oldest son talking about his mescaline’s adventures. And then I sat on my computer to do my homework.

Sunday
That day was my oldest son’s birthday. He is 16 years old now. He invited his friends for a movie in our home. I prepared a nice lunch for them. When they finished I took them to Mercury lane bowling center. It was so fun. We stayed there for three hours and then I drove my son’s friends to their homes and we back to our home.

Believe me I am so surprised! How busy I am and I did not figure out before. You will think these are extraordinary days and it will not happen every weekend.
Gradually, these are my typical busy days and so on. Every weekend days are the same, I have to do many things for my kids, myself, my house, and my car. Moreover, I need to be ready for any unexpected incidents may happen for my family. I am not complaining but sometimes I get tired, most likely my school stresses me out.

I can tell you; I am so happy because I have nice kids and blessed family and friends. Moreover, I have initiative to serve my kids and family for ever.

Finally, I know I spoke a lot; it seems an opportunity for me to think and to talk. I hope I do not bother anybody reading my chatting and listening to me thinking in a high voice.
