Day 1999. Three days have passed since my last update. And Tammy has stayed home from kindergarten all those three days as she's had a cold/virus and hasn't felt well. She missed her tennis and ballet class. On Wednesday I taught from 10:30 to 12:30, but we still had leftovers for lunch. Randy then brought Sammy home.

Day 1996. This morning I helped get the kids ready for kindergarten, then lay back down. But not feeling so well, I had a hard time sleeping as well and got up earlier than I needed to, half an hour before my alarm went off. I then slowly got ready for my 11 am student and taught until noon. Then I started cooking and finished before Randy and Sammy got home.

Day 1995. This morning I told Emmy to let me know when Daddy was sitting at the table for breakfast, and he did. I then got up, got the cake from the balcony and put candles and a "Happy Birthday" sign on it. Then I lit the candles and carried the cake to him, singing "Happy Birthday". I had wrapped the kids' gifts and mine last night, and he opened them.
