Last minute upgrading for free to Windows10

I usually wake up at 4am to do housework and write my blog.

I woke up at 4am this morning, too.

My husband was still awake and in the living room.

Since our family will go on a family trip tomorrow, I thought he had to take work home with him to finish it today.

But he was sleeping in front of his laptop.

"What are you doing? Go to bed now, or you will be tired before our trip!"

He always comes home late and has lack of sleep.

"Because I am trying to upgrade my laptop to Windows10 but it is progressing slowly. ."

His laptop is Windows7.

I looked at the screen of his laptop, there was a message which said:

"Please wait for a while."

"When did you start it?"

I asked him and he answered:

"At 2am."

"2am? Two hours has already passed! Maybe it might be because I refused upgrading from "Get Windows 10" before. OK. I will try it. Please go to bed now."

He went to the bedroom.

I wondered why he had not upgrading even though there was an enough of an upgrading period.

Today is the last day for upgrading for free to Windows10.

I thought it is just like him because he is a procrastinator.

It is still upgrading now.

I don't know whether it will finish without any problems before we go to work.

Going on a date with my son

I had a day off yesterday.

I took my 6-year-old daughter to the nursery school, but my 7-year-old son was at home because he is in the summer vacation now.

Wednesdays during the summer vacation last year were the days I helped him doing homework which needs time to finish like painting, book report, and so on.

So we made a schedule of doing his homework yesterday morning.

After that, we went to the library to return and borrow some books.

Then we watched the movie of "Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone" there,

There are some audiovisual booths in the library and we can borrow DVDs and watch them there.

In fact, he watched part of it at home before, but the recorded video was broken and we couldn't see it to the end.

He was scared of Voldemort, but he enjoyed watching it very much.

After that, we went out for lunch and went shopping.

He was clinging to me than usual.

Maybe he wanted to stick to me because my daughter usually monopolizes me.

He is already 7 years old, but still adorable for me.

He will not go out with me a few years later, so this sweet time with him will be my treasure in the future.

After we came home, I went to the nursery school to pick my daughter up.

My son taught her some incantations he learned in the movie, and they made their wands with disposable chopsticks.

He said proudly:

"Alohomora!"

Have you played Pokemon Go?

The sales representative of the pharmaceutical company came to our house yesterday evening.

I wrote about him in my previous post : http://a-o-j-m.blogspot.jp/2016/03/small-pharmacy-at-home.html

He brought two balloons for my children.

They were glad to get them and said:

"Thank you!"

After I paid him for the medicine, I asked him:

"Have you played Pokemon Go? You told me before that you are the Pokemon generation."

The Pokemon generation means that Pokemon was the trend during their childhood.

"No, I am trying not to install the app because I would get addicted to it."

He answered.

I thought his answer was in character of him.

Maybe he is busy at work and he might not be able to spare his time playing it.

Actually, I was really into playing games when I was a child.

I liked The Legend of Zelda for Gameboy, so I often played it for a long time.

But it caused my eyesight to get worse, and I need to wear contact lenses every day.

I really regretted it from the bottom of my heart, and after that, I never played games any more.

Furthermore, I am not familiar with Pokemon.

I only know Pikachu.

That's why I think the adults obsessed with playing the game seems strange.

I think playing the game is fun, but I think it is worrying and harmful because adults who should have the common sense tend to forget it while playing it.

Radio calisthenics in the early morning

My children and I joined in the radio calisthenics held by the children's association of our town yesterday morning.

Attending the radio calisthenics is one of the typical events in summer vacation for children.

When I was a child, I had to join in it for a week, but in our town, it is held only once during the summer vacation.

I have heard that it is held at the end of the summer vacation in some towns to fix children's dissolute daily rhythm.

It started at 6:30am and it was a little hard time for me to wake my children's up at 6:15am.

Since I had told them about the schedule so far, my 7-year-old son was able to wake up immediately.
But my 6-year-old daughter wanted to sleep more.

"You aren't going, are you?"

We had only 5 minutes to leave home.

"No! I'm going with you!"

She cried.

"Then wake up now and wash your face!"

We ran to the park near our house.

When we reached there, it already began and there were a lot of families.

After exercise, we weeded the park for about an hour and came home at 7:40am.

I was tired but I thought it was a good opportunity to join in our town's event.

In fact, I asked my husband to come and join instead of me at 7am because I had to go to work yesterday.

But he joined in the job training and the drinking party last Saturday and he came home at 4:30am yesterday.

"Again! What age do you act? Stop coming home in the morning without informing me! I was not able to sleep after 3am because I am anxious about you. You don't have to join in the town's weeding today. Forget it. Go to sleep now!"

It was my mistake that I asked him to join in the radio calisthenics and weeding.

I know he is a social butterfly but it is only in his business relationship.

I want him to attend such a town's event more.

Needless to say, I had a lack of energy to work all day yesterday.

My mother's feeling

I went to my parents' house with my children yesterday.

My mother is very patient with my children, so they like her very much.

We enjoyed catching cicadas and butterflies at the yard.

After that, we went to Sushiro (sushi-go-round restaurants) for lunch.

After my children finished eating, both of them started sleeping on the couch.

"Maybe they are tired due to the heat of summer."

My mother said.

While they were sleeping, my mother and I talked a lot.

Since I don't have much opportunities to talk with her a lot because she is busy for playing with my children when we visit my parents' house, I enjoyed talking with her.

She said:

"It is not so long that they (my children) come to our house willingly. They will be busy for playing with their friends or joining the club activities. When I and your dad think about it, we miss them. Children grow very rapidly. We are glad to see their growth, and also feel sweet sorrow."

I found she loves my children very much.

I am proud of her.

I found she is still my dearest mother and I have a lot of things to learn from her.

I want to be a mother like her.

Yesterday's lunch boxes for my son and me

These were yesterday's lunch boxes for my son and me.


I used the frozen Shumai (one of the Chinese dumplings) , which is my son's favorite.

 My son said:

"The bento (lunch box) is almost same yesterday. The only one dish was just changed!"

"No! I changed two of them. I am not a chef and our house is not a restaurant, so you will see the similar lunch box during the summer vacation."

I am envy with people who like cooking.

They might be happy every day because they have a lot of opportunities to do their favorite cooking.

The school summer vacation began!

The summer vacation began yesterday.

My 7-year-old son was glad because he didn't have to go to school.

But he has to stay at the children's house when I go to work.

Since the school lunch is not provided, I have to make a lunch box for him.

It is really annoying.

Actually, I have made my lunch box for three and a half years ( since I started working my current job.)

But making two lunch boxes is not easy for me.

My son sometimes complains about the side dish of the lunch box.

I usually put leftovers in it, but he is getting sick of my bento (lunch box).

At the end of the summer vacation last year, he said:

"I am sick of mom's bento! I want to eat the school lunch!"

I also said to him:

"Me too! I am really tired of making the lunch box for you. I do hope the school lunch will start as soon as possible!"

When I was a child, I was really happy during the summer vacation.

There were a lot of fun activities like fireworks, summer festivals, swimming pool, catching cicadas, radio callisthenics, visiting my grandparents’ house, camping, and so on.

But now as a mother, most of them make me tired, but I have to do them.

Because I know my children will surely enjoy them very much!
