Being Single

23

Work got easier and was happy that it was Friday. Tomorrow is Yilena birthday party finally and my mother wouldn't be there either. I have heard from my mother but still sees she was right. My brothers have had over for dinner while I haven't nor plan to.

I went home and begin to finalize with Maur and a few others the party for Yilena. Izzy said the cake wouldn't be fancy, since we didn't give her enough notice but still would be nice. We didn't want any of our friends nor family to have to do anything so we are having it catered by meals and wheels staff and paying the volunteers handsomely.
We all went to bed afterwards and the babies allowed us to sleep in until 7:30 in the morning.
Maur woke us up to tell us all babies are hungry and need to be changed.
We all got up and tended to our bundles. On the weekends we have Kennedy enjoy her weekends and it gives her time to catch up on her sleep and study.
We were eating a late breakfast when she came into the kitchen at ten.

Aye sweetie your biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs are in the oven. Thank you.
You guys I got a almost a full scholarship that pays for my books and supplies too. I am so psyched it doesn't have to make me have a good GPA. I will still do my best. I only have to pay for one percent of my tuition. With the increase in my salary will cover the one percent. I am so happy for you kiddo. Yes that is good news. You deserve it and the scholarship person saw it. Thanks.
Kennedy ate her food and was on cloud nine. She actually took off shopping for herself which she rarely does.
Jane you were right. Did you really doubt me Maur? Well . Don't answer that Maura it's a set up.
We all chuckled.
We got the kids ready for the two o'clock party.
Everyone was showing up and Kennedy finally brought the guy she met at school.

Our driveway was getting packed and the neighborhood was full of assortment of vehicles.

The food was off the hook and the volunteers who normally cook at the original meals and wheels site loved their pay. We paid them more than what they quoted us. These volunteers are retirees and on fixed incomes. When Mandi suggested them, we took her suggestion immediately and they came to the house to get the menu, amount of people and the layout of our home. We had over ninety people show up which didn't include us four who reside here. Jenna and Gloria flew in as well as Richard from Italy on Richard's plane.
Yilena love the simple birthday cake.

Izzy made two identical after we told her the night before how many rsvp we received. My mother even stayed away which was nice. Several people stayed over because they had too much to drink.
The party ended and the total of donations for meals and wheels program in lieu of birthday presents was over five grand. Mandi, Michele and Juanita were pleased as well as the meals and wheels paid staff that day.

We all made extra plates for people to take home too. Maur had the cooks to clean the serving dishes and supplies here instead of later. The table margaritas machines and chairs that were rented were picked up as well. Our backyard didn't even look like we had a party in the backyard.
