A Day in the Life

5:19 - Wakey - Wakey! It's so dark at 5am but at least I get to look at pretty fall leaves on my phone! I miss fall leaves. 

5:32 - There are two little black dots below my light fixture. They are flying bugs and they invade my bathroom every morning. This is just two. I kill between ten and twenty every morning. It's super awesome.

6:04 - I come into my kitchen to find branches on my counter. Guess what they are..................................................................................................................................................

PLUMERIA!! My sweet husband got them to plant on my deck. :) Can't wait to smell the flowers!

6:05 - Yes, it has come to this. I am a coffee drinker. I held out for 41 years, but this 5am wake up call has made coffee essential in my life. I should have taken a picture of the amount of cream I have to add to make it taste good! It's not a small amount. ;)

6:25 - Sunrise. The view here is amazing. I never get tired of it.

6:33 - This little girl lies outside my bathroom door while I get ready. She's guarding me from whiney teenagers. Sometimes it works. Most times not. They still find me.

7:00 - Time for breakfast! I get to go in a half hour later on Thursdays so I have time to sit and enjoy. Madison was eating with me but she wouldn't let me take her picture!! She just got up and all -  but still. She said, "You can write about me but don't take any pictures." Well, that's just a challenge for me! I will get a picture at some point!

7:48 - Our daily trek to King's Cathedral for school and work.

7:57 - My office in the finance department. The last place my brother would have thought I would end up when he was helping me with my math homework in High School!

8:07 - Paying the bills for all the extensions from Alaska to Arkansas.

8:30 - Prayer time with all the office ladies. Every morning we pray together. These women are a blessing to me!! The one on the left is my partner in crime in the finance office. Her name is Shayvon and she's amazing. So thankful for her!

10:06 - Thursdays I get to work in the music department for a few hours but when I showed up, my boss wasn't there yet!! I think he's going to have to take me to lunch now! When his mom was visiting we painted his office. We went with gray because what else really goes with purple carpet?? Looks like I have some cleaning to do today!

11:48 - He did take me to lunch! And at one of our favorite spots - Cafe O'Lei. It has a beautiful view of the West Maui Hills which is where we live. Another perk is the fact that the lunch special is cheaper than a McDonalds meal and it comes with a nice salad! My mom would appreciate that!

2:17 - Driving home from work and school. :)

2:38 - Spelling words on the deck with this handsome, freshly showered boy. He informed me during our study time that he now has armpit hair and he would like to use deodorant. Can you spell
 S - T - O - P - G - R - O - W - I - N - G - U - P!!!!!

3:06 - Next is spelling with this ray of sunshine who also doesn't want her picture taken! She's covered in a blanket because it's fall here and it's freezing. Like 82 degrees. Brrrrrrrrrr.

3:32 - Time for some reading and maybe napping if the mood hits.

5:15 - Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup. It's what's for dinner.

5:52 - Listening to this cool new album and car dancing to embarrass my kids on the way to worship team practice.

6:12 - Ladies of worship. We have so much fun in rehearsal!

8:22 - Had to stop at the store for party food for school tomorrow.

9:41 - A little TV with the hubs before bed.

10:00 - Turning off the lights - I wish everyone could see the beautiful city lights in person!

 

10:06 - This girl is going to bed! Gotta get ready for a new adventure tomorrow!
