Long Days, Short Years - Cuban Time

I think this applies to everything in life, but especially where children are concerned, especially with young ones, the days never end.  It is 11pm in Miami, and the baby finally fell asleep. We had one of those squeeze everything in, run around, some parts great for kids, some parts hard for kids days.

I could not go to sleep without posting even though I am exhausted.  What lasted the longest you ask?

I had a 6:30pm appointment for a blow dry and condition that I found on Groupon for $22!  I didn't get out until 9pm!  In Miami that call it Cuban time, but I know there is Persian time, and Jewish time, and every other nationality you can think of, but OMG.  It was very busy, but in LA, if your appointment does not happen for the time you set it for, you will lose business.  i  did get offered water, wine, or Cuban coffee, I took the coffee - YUM.  My husband and kids were just waiting and waiting, because it was on the way home from our long day, and I thought it would take no more than an hour.  Plus our RV park is on the other side of town of my uncles where we spend the day.

We ended up getting going a little later than I wanted, but did make it to the beach.  The kids had a blast, especially Eli Tzvi, wow, he couldn't get enough of the water, I was so happy.  Ziona Sofia went in for a little bed, but then was playing in the sand and having fun with a friend of ours.  My husband and the baby were running some errands, it was windy, humid, and sunny, my husband wasn't in a beach mood, and I wanted to focus on the older kids, it would have been too much for the baby.



Then we visited with my uncle for lunch, the kids had a great time.  We washed up from the beach and were on our way to the hair appointment.  Luckily from now on we have really relaxed and fun plans.


I got my hair did because tomorrow one of my dearest friends is turning 40, yes her birthday is July 4th, she is celebrating with everyone, including her kids at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, we will be in suite watching the fireworks, sooooo excited.



It was nice to get back to our RV park and it actually was cold inside, super muggy, raining, and hot outside.  So nice to be plugged in, and amazing to have my iPhone, my hotspot lets me have wifi, the wifi at this park does not work for me.

We are all exhausted, but getting everything checked off.
It's by looking at our children that we see time flies,
I honestly feel amazing, age is just a number,
I cannot believe my oldest is almost 5 and my baby is walking,
Doing my best to enjoy every morsel, not so easy, quite challenging,
I know we will not do this again for a while to save our sanity,
But I am glad we are doing it now,
and I will keep pushing to see as many people as I can,
Our Fridge is STILL not cold enough,
Pluses and Minuses,
Such is Life,
I choose to deal with the minuses and focus on the pluses,
Excited for the rest of the week,
Coach Yulia
