Lena's: POV
We're all out to celebrate Francesca's big win for coming first place in the spelling bee championship. She received a twenty five hundred dollar gift card to the Disney store, a pink chrome, book trophy and four tickets to mgm studios. Along with other goodies, l'm so proud of her for not giving up. When things got difficult l took pictures and sent them to Stef. Francesca wanted to have pizza for dinner, it was about ten of us
Sitting around the table Francesca's teacher Ms. Benson tagged along with us. I ordered two extra large pepperoni pizzas with a side salad, the waiter walked off to go put our orders in. Francesca's teacher Ms. Benson was telling me she's been teaching for the past twelve years, l didn't bother to ask if she was married cause that would be rather personal. I called Stef's phone he went right to voicemail, that was strange
Stef usually has her cell with her. She's probably busy or something, l looked over at Francesca who was talking to one of friends. Tomorrow will be heading home
I have so much to do this week coming up, the painters are supposed to come over to the new house and paint, the inspection is next week. I want to have things finished
Hopefully Shannon has started up packing
I know my office needs to be packed up, l might have to text my assistant Sasha to do it for me. My heart can't go over that group home, Sasha knows the layout of my office inside and out. I trust her completely
The young gentleman came back carrying all of our drinks on a serving tray, your pizza should be out in ten minutes he said
Thank you l tell him. He's really working hard for his tip, Ms. Benson excuse herself to go to the ladies room while I kept an eye on the kids. I can't believe it's going on 7:30 in the evening, I took a sip of my diet wild cherry Pepsi. It's not that often l have a soda, l would have requested a glass of wine. But there were children present
Once the food was brought over to us
I handed everyone a plate and napkins
This salad looks delicious. After everybody was served, l dug into the Caesar with grilled chicken on. When ms. Benson returned, she scooped up too slices of pizza
Mmm mommy this is so good you really need to try it Francesca says to me. I will after I finish this healthy salad l'm having
Lena told Francesca, she winks her eye at her daughter who grins wide and goes back enjoying her food.
