Ugh ... Mondays

Back to the normal grind. It was horrible my system for hiring people crashed and I had 6 new hires . I didn't really want to teach them because I was scared they weren't all the way through the process. But I ended up taking a chance. It wouldn't be fair to make them wait a week to begin working because our system wasn't working. And then on top of dealing with that the air conditioner in the store was broken. Usually my training room in that store is hot but with the fans I have it's bare able . Not today it was a sauna and it was so uncomfortable training in that situation. I was ready to leave but I didn't  finish until a little after three.  When I got out it was another rain storm  and I had to run to the grocery store to buy some items. I got soaked and I was slipping and sliding in my shoes . But I was going to make an apple tart for the first time, So I had no choice. 

Once I got home my normal homework with my son routine began . He now has a new set of spelling words but this time it's 12 words and some are capitalized . I am a little upset over the quantity because he only has 11 days to learn them. Which means I have to double up words on some days. I like that the last time I taught him one word a day , and while reviewing the previous day. I also had the day before the exam where it was just a review day. Things are starting to move to quickly for me with his school work. He seems to be fine I could just be overacting about it. 

I am really getting myself on some sort of  a schedule by the time my husband gets home , my sons homework  is done , dishes clean and done ready. The only things is that I really only get like an 1 1/2 to spend time with my daughter before bedtime . Hopefully on Wednesday since my friend is picking my son up from school , I will have the chance to get my daughter . This is pending I get out of my meeting by 2pm. I will use that time as mommy and me time . I just try to remind myself it's quality not quantity that counts. 

Tonight I am excited to try my new dessert and I ended up hitting a home run with it . I took a picture with my phone  , I know the lighting wasn't that great. It was a very simple recipe , just 5 ingredients. Apples(of course) , puff pastry, brown sugar, fresh lemon juice , caramel and walnuts. Like my daughters new word she uses  when describing something she likes to eat it was DELICIOUS!!!
