But instead, I will tell you about the day I had with ...... Mom and Tween Daughter.....
Today was a beautiful day to go shopping in Chinatown unlike yesterday but my plans for the day did not follow through with Mom. She ended up forgetting about the facial appointment she had and a second appointment with her rental tenant. This means our afternoon in Chinatown would be cancelled. But I didn't get anything done yesterday which meant I still had to go with or without her. I think she would have rather me wait for her but I couldn't because I needed to leave for Richmond around 3.30pm to pick up Kay. Since Mom could not make it, she asked me to pick her up some grocery items for her. It was a nice day and it was nice to have some alone time although, I ended up buying
a lot of items and it would have been nice to have a few extra hands. Among the items I purchased was a brand new wok! I'm so excited to use the wok! They have so many sizes and I could not decide but I ended up with a large on just in case I need to cook for 6 or 8 people :) After walking Chinatown, I headed home to drop off my groceries and had some more me time in my quiet living room. Then I headed over to Richmond to pick up Kay from her party, I was carpooling so I had two very hyper kids in my car! Dropping him off and we headed over to my Mom's. We went over to LD and did some shopping. Headed back to my mom's for dinner and stayed to chat. My Grandma was going to be home around 10ish and as it was getting late, my guilt wore off and we had to head home as it's a school/work night. I need to learn to say NO and have some me time. My Brother never spends any time with my Mom and Grandma. I guess I am the Daughter and I should help out whenever I can which is my weekends. Some days I wish I live in another country or continent.

Ooooh, that's pretty.
And yeah, sometimes I really enjoy my family buffer. REALLY.
Your new Wok looks very shiny, I'm going home to my family this weekend and I can't wait!
