My favorite day of the week!
I loooove Sunday’s. Growing up, it was a day for family. We were usually at my grandparents house in Queens. Me and my cousins would play handball on the garage, constantly having to get my grandpa to get the ball off the roof. Usually after a while of it, we would go for a walk to Steinway St with grandpa and the uncles to get bread for dinner. Dinner was the same order everyweek….antipasto, salad, meat, pasta then fruit. After that, again us cousins would take a walk with the uncles and grandpa to go get dessert.
I always wanted that same tradition for my kids. I don’t live in NY anymore and all the cousins are spread out all over the country, but at least Sunday’s we have our own family dinners now. I wasn’t the case a few years ago though when I was working 3 jobs trying to support my kids. I am now working the one job, married and enjoying the fact that I can afford to work one job and be able to get to the kids events and spend time with them. Our thing to spend time together today….we are going to the Y later. Jess needs some work on shooting hoops. So me and my 2 kids and 2 of Jess’ gf’s are going to the Y to use the gym. After they are done, we are going to go swimming. I have decided that I do not care what I look like in the bathing suit. I will be getting enjoyable activity in and spending time with the kids…spending time with my family….that is what matters.
I will be playing like a kid!

Family time is the best!
Good attitude about the bathing suit too! Just have a great time at the Y with your family!
Have a great Sunday and week!
I must second nana4 with the “good attitude about the bathing suit!” Recently my husband, son and I went to Flordia to spend time with my parents. When it came time to go swimming- I REALLY dreaded it, but when I saw my son’s face and enthusiasm about going into the “big pool” (1st time), I decided to get over my vanity and just get into a suit. And I lived to tell about it! (=
Keep up the good attitude- kudos to you!
