Super Sunday

I must say that today was chock full of activity, very little back pain, and great behavior from the midgets for the most part. We kicked off the day with some cartoons and breakfast before heading over to a friend's house for a playdate (they have a 5 year old son and a 3 year old daughter). Then it was off to Queens (3 damn trains, did you know that the E can ONLY go downtown at 50 St and that you must go down to Times Square to catch a Queens bound E?!) to meet a friend's new daughter. Kind of boring for MoJo but they behaved well. 2 hours later we reversed our commute for social meeting number 3. It was at the playground and the sun was no longer out so I was c-o-l-d but kids enjoyed running around with another two pairs of siblings that are their ages. We got a ride home just in time for play date number 4 (dinner and bath with J's beloved BT best friend and her little bro). I am happy to say that we dropped off hand-me-downs at play dates 1,3, and 4 and some cookies/chocolate at number 2. It was a nice full day despite the absence of F, gym, movies, tutoring and other usual Sunday suspects. I am really happy that J had a chance to see his buddy (he recently told me that he missed her and wanted to send her chocolates in the mail). When I praised him for his behavior, I asked, "Who did great listening?" He replied, "Me, today. But not tomorrow." M asked me for paper to draw (standing next to me as I read email). When I glanced over she had written "I hate you mom and papi. pyriod." When I asked her why she was mad, she kept denying having written "hate" (it was the most legible word) even though I insisted I was not mad and that I knew she did not hate me. I found this note on my desk later "Am sorry mama and papa. I rilly am." Cannot beat that. Buona Notte!
