My Kids

Up date on my life

2006-06-17T15:38:00.000-04:00

I know it has been a little while since I have blogged.... I have really been busy... I actually got a new job and have been working like a good girl..

I have had a few days that I have just wanted to throw in the towel, but I have been good about keeping my temper in check and just taking things in stride.

Everyone is doing well here I am missing being home with the kids but they have the best sitter they could have ever wished for. She is so great with them and has the patience needed to be here with them all.

The hubby has been a little tired lately but I can understand how he could be especially in the last few days, he has been staying up watching the Heat finals games as well as still doing his everyday thing... and that is just gonna take its toll on him.

Well I think that is about it for right now but I hope to be able to come by again soon.

My Review of the Concert

2006-02-12T00:30:00.000-05:00

As promised here is my take on the concert.... Wow what can I tell you it was the best concert I have ever been too. (Yeah I know it is only my second concert). The feelings inside the BAC were of pure excitement. I did not know some of the newer songs I like his late 80's early 90's songs better but it still Rocked the house. I had the best time I wolf howled like a maniac I left there with very little of my voice left. My friend and I had such a wonderful time that we had to stop by the local Wal-Mart to pick up a few of his CD's cause the car we were in we didnt have any. I got a really nice Jacket with his concert logo on it. I was wired for about 3-4 hours afterward I could not sleep for a while afterward. My friend was so suprised to see me head banging my head she had never seen me go wild that way before and I went to a Metallica concert with her 9 years ago. He was in the crowd for two of his songs. He got all the girls wild and the crowd on their feet. The concert ended with a 3 song oncor. I had a wonderful time and I will never forget it. Thanks to everyone who made it possible for me to go.

Im going to the BON JOVI concert

2006-02-09T00:14:00.000-05:00

I am so excited I will be going to the BON JOVI concert this Friday. Thanks to my friend being able to get tickets for her and her hubby, I will be able to go. Let me explain... my friend was able to buy the tickets early for her and her hubby, I had metioned to them that I wanted to go but with three kids its not that easy to get a sitter. Well I had been talking to my friend and her hubby and told them how much I wanted to go my friend told me that her wonderful hubby would give me his ticket cause he did not want to go and sit in the middle of a bunch of horny half dressed women...(go figure that one out) So then the problem was trying to find a sitter for all of the kids... Well apprently GOD was on my side cause I called my aunt to ask her if she could watch the little one and she told me that she would stay with the two smallest. All I had to do was to find a sitter for the big one and my neighbor said that she would could sleep over at her house. I was so happy to hear that, that made my search for sitters over. So now I will be going to the concert. Mind you this is the first concert I go to in almost 10 years and the second in my entire life. I went with this same friend to Metallica and I went to accompany her this concert is more of something that I wanted to go to desperately. I will post a blog on how the concert was later in the week. All I know is that as of right now this is the most exciting weekend of my life. All I can say is a very special thanks to my to best friends Muggle Mom and Muggle Dad Thank you I love you both.

Its Lowrider time

2006-02-08T23:50:00.000-05:00

Sunday is our big day... its what we look foward to doing every year and we get to do it twice a year thats the best part. Its the Lowrider Car show and Concert. This is what my hubby loves cars cars and more cars... Don't think I don't love to go to the show too. It is cool to see what people can do with a little imagination and a lot of money...lol We have pulled out all the stops for this show this year all the guys are going to be wearing red shirt with black logo and all the girls are going to be wearing black shirts with red logos. If I havent mentioned it my hubby is the president of our car club (ELEGANCE CAR CLUB OF SOUTH FLA) and as his wife I am the one incharge of getting everything for the girls and the kids of the club... so they call me the first lady.... To me this is the time of year that I look foward to cause it gives me something to do every day. I start at the beginning of the year with ordering the shirts and placing the hotel reservations for the show that we go to in April. Once I get all the shirts ordered and printed then I start by seperating the order into each persons personal bags. Then I start getting whatever else needs to be done ready... I send out the regestrations for the show, I pay the entrances for everyone, I then call the person incharge of the show to make sure everything is in place and that nothing has been left behind or set appart. I make sure that everyone gets to be together and then the day of the show I walk around look at all my guys cars and enjoy myself. After that I start to get ready for the April show and do it all again. Sadly when the April show is done my job is done for the year and I have to wait until the next year. Only that I wouldnt trade it in for anything in the world. I have had a few years that someone else has been incharge of everything and I missed it so. I am glad that they decided to put me back incharge of everything. Gives me something to do.

She lost her first tooth

2006-01-23T23:28:00.000-05:00

Well my oldest child is now 5 years old and she just lost her first tooth. It is the first tooth that ever came in when she started to get her teeth in. It made me happy but sad at the same time because that ment to me that my little girl is growing up. I know that she is five but to me she is always going to be my little girl. She is always going to be my first and now that all her firsts are happening it makes me sad to know that these things will never be new again. I know this all sounds a little silly to you but to those moms who have gone through this before know how I feel. This just all felt to me that she is growing up just too fast for me. I dont think I am ready for all that is still to come. I just have the comfort that I get to go through it all again with my other two little angels.

My new tattoo

2006-01-11T15:54:00.000-05:00

Ok so I went to my friends Tattoo shop last night and got another tattoo. Actually let me explain I added to one I already had. I had this rose in a tribal sign for about 8 years now and it was starting to look a little dull next to all the other ones I have on my body so I asked the tattoo master Rick from ALLSTAR Tattoos to help me give it some life back... So that is what we did last night. He did a wonderful job, he put in a bee flying around in the pattern of my kids initials... beautiful daisys on a vine all aroung my leg and to finish it off he put a butterfly facing the bee. I am trying to post pictures to go with this blog so i hope the come thru. I do have to say I am a little more sore than I was with all the other ones that I have had done but I think its because of where it is located and not because of anything else. I think that since it wraps around my leg instead of just being on the side of it makes a difference. It only really hurts when I stand up after sitting or laying for a little while but once I get going it feels fine.

Happy New Year

2006-01-05T16:20:00.000-05:00

Well I just want to wish everyone out there a very Happy New Year. I hope that 2006 brings everyone everything that they desire. I know that I will be hoping for the best for all those in my family. I look forward to new addition to our family this year. My little niece Ashley will be here in a couple of weeks (January 25) and my other little niece who is yet to be named will be here in May. I wish my sisters-in-law a lot of luck and cant wait to meet the new little additions to the family. After so much that we had to endure in 2005 with natural disasters and personal losses, 2006 just has to be better. Well again I wish you all the best for this new year.

Finally I am back in action

2005-12-07T18:25:00.000-05:00

Well If you notice it as been a while since I wrote last... Well this is what happened. I changed phone companies to get a cheaper rate but had a delay in service reconection. They claimed that is was only going to be 7-10 days before my service was going to be reconnected but unfortunately that is not what happened. It took the phone company almost a month to come by and connect my phone service again. I was starting to have withdrawl symptoms. Well I am glad to know that I have my service again already and I will be posting more blogs again soon.

Can we salvage Halloween for the kids

2005-10-29T13:22:00.000-04:00

Well Halloween is this Monday and with all the power outages and all the city plans cancelled do to the mess Wilma left us, we don't know what we can do for the kids for Halloween. We have thought of maybe taking the kids to Trick or Treat at the mall early in the afternoon and then looking to see what city has trick or treaters around and then heading that way. It is sad that we have such little options for them now when we had a great plan going before the storm of what to do of the entire weekend now we are struggling to figure out what to do just that day. Its terrible that such a fun day for the kids could be ruined this year. I am hoping that people try to get out and still celebrate the day for the kids that really do want to have some fun that day and that this storm has not destroyed the day for all of us.

Wilma sent us to the Stone Age

2005-10-28T22:58:00.000-04:00

Well we made it through Hurricane Wilma.. We had a little damage to our carport and had to live without power for 5 days. Thankfully though all of us were safe after the storm, we were not hurt in any way, But I do have to say it was rough not having power for so long. No hot water, not being able to cook, NO COMPUTER (I think that was the worst for me.), and the gas situation was not that easy to deal with, lines that were at least a mile long, many hours of waiting for gas and then not getting any when you finally got close enough to the station, now that was hard for those of us who were fortunate enough to have a generator. Well we decided to start siphoning the gas out of our cars, and sharing the generator with neighbors to share the cost and headache of the gas situation. Now we are in still dealing with the gas problem and we are going into day 6 after Wilma. All you hear on the news is that the power company is trying to get power back to everyone before Thanksgiving, which will really hurt us for the Holiday season. So much that was not expected for Wilma, so many thought is was going to be the same as Katrina for us and did not prepare. So many people that don't have all the essentials that are needed during hurricane season. Now all we can hope this that the tropics just quite down for the rest of the season and that next year more people listen to the reports and prepare better. Well I guess this is it for now and Gladly I can bring you all more information tomorrow.

Has anyone else noticed

2005-10-19T15:23:00.000-04:00

Has anyone else noticed that in this Hurricane season all the MAJOR (catagory 5) Storms have all been female names. Besided them also being the only ones that have hit the US (or threatining to do so). First we had KATRINA and then came RITA (which if you look both hit Florida before they impacted the Gulf Coast), and now we have WILMA out there with her eye heading toward Florida for this weekend. I am prepared have been since June 1 but it is scary to think that all these storms are female. Think about it.

They are so smart

2005-10-19T00:33:00.000-04:00

Well I as my 20 month old the other day where she had left something and her answer to me was I don't know... That is the first time that she responses to me with a real answer instead of just looking at me like this lady is crazy... Then today she bites her older sister and when I am about to reprimand her for doing that she goes and bites herself so that I will not yell at her and instead comfort her for her ouie. She is just too smart for her age she knows what she is doing and is not even old enough to remember where she was the day before... My 5 year old is getting a little quick with some of her answers and is really quick to defend herself... The other day her granddad just to bother her (like he always likes to) tells her that he is going to sell her to the Zoo so that they can put her in a cage as a monkey and not even a second later she answers him with "I'm going to sell you to the circus as an elephant". They are getting so smart and I don't know what to do. I have to watch myself all the time now because they will catch me with anything I say if I don't pay attention. Kids are great.

He was so surprised

2005-10-17T18:54:00.000-04:00

This weekend was my big brothers 30th Birthday, his girlfriend through him a huge surprise party, but that wasn't the only surprise. My Mother, my Stepdad, my Husband, my Kids and myself went up to surprise him at his party. He had not idea what as going on right under his nose... He never expected to have what he had for his birthday. He thought that he was just going to a little dinner with his girlfriend and a few close friends, and when he arrives he is stunned to see 80 of his family, friends and co-workers there to wish him a wonderful day. The only thing was that the surprises did not end there. After about an hour of him being at the party (do to a late flight), we all walk through the door of the hall. According to him one of his best friends tells him "isn't that your mom and your sister walking in" and when he turns around, there we all are just waiting to wish him a very special Happy Birthday. The party was great, the food was wonderful and the night was made extra special. I am glad my brother was able to have a good birthday. We then spent the rest of the weekend with him and sadly had to come back home on Sunday. At least we all know that, that is one birthday he will NEVER EVER forget.

Its all starting to get to me

2005-10-12T16:14:00.000-04:00

The stress of everything that is going on in my life right now is really starting to get to me. I have not been able to get a good night sleep in a long time. I keep thinking that things are going to get better and they don't. I don't know what to do anymore, I need to get some time to myself some time to think, but I know that is never going to happen. I need a day to be away from being mommy, housewife, lover, from everything that comes with being a stay home mom. I need some adult interaction. I want to go back to work but I know that it wont make any sense to do so because it wont alleviate the financial burden we are under. I hate feeling like I don't have my own money, like I have to ask permission to do anything or get anything for myself or the kids. I'm tired of having to think if I do this will I still be able to pay this bill. I want to get a job working from home but don't seem to know of anything. I want a day out of the week that I can go out with friends and get a drink, or anything that takes my mind off of what I have to do everyday. I think I need a day with no kids, no cooking, no cleaning, with no responsibilities what so ever. It gets to me to know that my hubby has, his meeting night, poker night, and then the other nights he works late. Then I feel bad that he has worked so hard during the week and he goes out with the boys on the weekends. I feel that if I complain to him I am being selfish, am I allowed to be selfish or should I just keep my mouth quiet and let him do his thing... Why is it that just because I am a stay home mom and he works outside the house it is thought that he works harder. Doesn't he see that cleaning the same thing 10 times a day is not tiring, or chasing after a wild 1 1/2 year old doesn't deserve some time alone. I know it is not all his fault because I have just let things go for all these years but is it wrong to change the rules of the game now? Now that I have vented I feel a bit better....

Our first meeting of the mommy club

2005-10-09T01:04:00.000-04:00

We had our first meeting of the mommy club today. All went well, the kids had a good time and us mommies enjoyed ourselves as well. We met up at the mall and let the kids play in the play area. The kids had a good time and luckily they played well together. They only had to be reprimanded a few times. We have already come up with an idea for our next mommy club meeting. I will inform you all after that meeting.

Tom Cruise

2005-10-07T17:03:00.000-04:00

Ok I have been watching the news lately and they have been talking about Tom Cruise and Kate Holmes having a baby. Now they mentioned last night that when Kate Holmes goes to the hospital to have the baby she can not have drugs or cry or scream because of Tom's beliefs in "Scientology". Now I think that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of.... You got to know that a man had to have come up with this so called religion... Let me shove an orange in Tom Cruises ass without him crying or even screaming and no drugs to see how uncomfortable it is... I have given birth to 3 children and if it weren't for the Epidural I don't know if I would have had the strength to push them out... Now you tell me how in the world is a women not supposed to scream or even cry. Now I can see her doing it without drugs because women have done it without drugs for years but no screaming or crying... You are out of your mind. When I heard the report yesterday I wanted to tell Mr. Cruise a few choice words but I don't know the man so I will just have to vent out my anger and frustrations here. I mean really what the hell is this so called practice all about... Also there is no such thing as Post pardon depression.. Come on please... You have your body turned inside out and your hormones go haywire on you and then lets see how there is no such thing. I know after I had my son things were a little weird for me for a while and I know that it took time for me to start feeling better again but not existing is ridiculous... Well I have vented about Mr Tom Cruise and his stupid belief of "Scientology" now tell me what you think.

Feeling Sad

2005-10-05T23:50:00.000-04:00

I have been feeling sad today. My son is sick, I have not been able to hang out with one of my sister-in-laws lately, and that family issue I wrote about a few days back is really getting to me. Lets start with my son being sick... He has a regular old fashioned cold but it is a really bad chest cold, and being that he his only seven months old it really is hard for me to deal with... (remember he is #3, but you never get used to it) He has to use a nuebalizer machine and Albuterol. It is so hard as a parent to know you can't take away their discomfort. Now to my sister-in-law... Because she is pregnant and the kids have been sick I don't want to be around her so that the kids don't get her sick, and also she has had lots of tests to take for school and has had to study so we have not had the time. Which makes me sad because I really enjoy hanging out with her. Since every time we are together we talk and help each other out with anything that is wrong.... Now finally to the family thing (how is it my fault) I talked about the other day... I am really sad that one of the people who is upset with the my husband is now talking to him and a few of the other people that she was upset with, but not me. When I had nothing to do with what she was upset about to begin with. It hurts because I have done nothing wrong but keep being treated like the enemy and it frustrates me. I should not be the one on the chopping block here so why is it that I am? I wish that this sadness would go away and that I could forget about what upsets me like my husband tells me to, but unfortunately it is easier said than do... Well wishing everyone happiness and a good last 2 days of the work week.

My Son

2005-10-05T02:21:00.000-04:00

Are little boys born with the male instinct or what. My son is only seven months old, and he can't sleep unless he is caressing a woman's boobies. He does not care if they are mine or some other girls. He will sit there and caress your boobies very gently but that is the only way he will fall asleep. My husband tries to put him to sleep sometimes when I am cooking or cleaning but he just wont fall asleep. He will stay up crying until I come and get him. So the first thing he does as soon as I lay him in my arms or lay next to him on my bed is to go straight for my chest. Is this a natural male instinct or what. Will he be a boob man like his dad or is it just something that boys tend to do, or does it happen to all breast fed kids... I have 2 other children who are both girls and they never breast fed (not for lack of trying). They have never done that, so I can't say for sure if its a boy thing or just a breast fed kid thing. If anyone out there knows please let me know, because this just makes me laugh now but I want my son to grow up to respect women and not just look at them because of their bodies.

School

2005-10-01T22:10:00.000-04:00

Have you ever moved away from an area that you grew up in the last few years of school. I moved from NJ to FL at the end of my souphmore year of school. At times I wish that I would have stayed there until I finished school. Especially lately I have been wishing this because I have been getting ready for my 10 year high school reunion and realized there are going to be very few people who will remember who I am because they only knew me for a very short time. I know that if I would have stayed with my friends from Elimentry school or from Middle school they would still remember me all these years later even if they havent seen me. I think about the difference that it would have made even on graduation day and the time right after. It makes me feel insignificant to not be remembered. I hope things will be different the day of my reunion but I dont know. I would really like your imput on this topic. Have a great day!!!

Just thinking

2005-09-30T15:41:00.000-04:00

I was just thinking about how fast time flies. Soon will be my 10 year high school reunion, and I was just thinking of where did all the time go. What have we done with the last 10 years. Its amazing that what we thought was important 10 years ago seems like nothing now. Well that's it for today just something for you to think about.

Dreams

2005-09-29T16:34:00.000-04:00

Ok so here is the topic of today.... I was wondering what do dreams mean... I seem to be having so many dreams these days that I know they are trying to tell me something I just wish I knew what it was. Have you ever had one of those types of nights that all you do is dream about all kinds of things but only seem to remember just a slight part of it? I lately just keep dreaming about my teeth falling out or that I fake my own death to get away from cops that are looking for me. What in the world are my dreams trying to tell me. Is the stresses of life trying to tell me that if I don't get way for a bit I will be falling apart? Is that what dreaming that my teeth are falling out and breaking into millions of little pieces mean? How about faking my own death could that mean that things are just getting to busy in my life and I need to get way from it for a while? Tell me what kind of dreams do you have?

How is it my fault

2005-09-28T23:42:00.000-04:00

I have some family members (by marriage) that are not speaking to me. Now the reason that they give for not speaking to my husband does not make any sense but they are sticking to that reason... We believe that there is actually another reason for them not talking to him. How is it my fault though... What did I do wrong? Can it really be because of what we think that, could it be that they blame me for something I did not have anything to do with to begin with. Would you blame someone for not inviting you to something when they were just helping and had nothing to do with who gets invited to begin with. Can you blame someone and not speak to them just because of who they happen to be married to? If that is the case then why are some of them still speaking to other people in who are also married to people they are not speaking to? Is it just being shallow to not speak to someone because they just happen to be married to someone else, or am I just being a little naive to think that they should still be talking to me. Can someone please help me to understand people, because the way that I think is that we should treat people based on what they do to us not on what others do to us and who they happen to be related to or married to. What's your opinion?

2005-09-27T19:37:00.000-04:00

How do people become friends.... Can someone please explain to me how that people that are so extremely different can become friends. I have these two very wonderful friends from high school that are so completely different then I am. I listen to regetton, hip hop, pop and some soft rock, they are all into alternative, rock, industrial and a little gothic. I read books that are murder mysteries they read books about magic and witches. We are so very different but at the same time always seem to have so much fun together. How does that happen? If you ever saw us in the streets you would never believe that we would be friends you would say these people would probably look at each other like they are each crazy. Is it that we are so extremely different that keeps us friends or is it something else all together? I don't know what to say all I do know is that I wouldn't of made it through high school with out them and even now I wouldn't be able to get through some of my saddest moments without them... I have so enjoyed always having them around. Having our different opinions on some of the other things and at times agreeing with the things you would least expect us to agree with... I guess Life is funny that way and the powers that be have decided for us to be friends so that we can keep each other a bit sane, who knows? Let me know what you think...

2005-09-23T18:53:00.000-04:00

They Grow so fast... I can't believe that this weekend my oldest daughter will be turning 5 years old already... I can't believe that so much time has already passed by. She is so self sufficient and a great help to me with her younger brother and sister, I thing that time is flying by so fast and know that before I know it she will be celebrating her 15s and then dating I don't know if I am really ready for everything that is still to come. Time just passes by to fast for us to not take advantage of every minute that we have them with us.

2005-09-22T02:50:00.000-04:00

Is mother nature trying to tell us something? We have been abusing our environment for all these years...Can she take any more... Is this the reason why we are going through such a year of devastation... We all know what she did with Katrina to the Gulf Coast do you think she is really gonna spare Texas... I think its time that we start to listen to Mother Nature and give something back to her. Stop abusing what she has given us... We have air to breathe then we chop down all the trees that give us oxygen. She gives us water to drink then we go and fill the lake and swamps and every source of water to make more land and build more buildings. Can we start giving her a break now... Can we give something back to her, lets take a day and plant a tree, or clean our streets. Earth day is not enough we need to make sure that not only the earth friendly people do it but also those people who always say that they don't have any time. Lets take a day and give something back to nature... Walk to work instead of driving, if its too far take public transportation.. We need to do something quick because if not we are looking at many years of devastation... Don't think that everything that we do does not have an effect on something else in our lives... How many more people have to die do to mother nature before we stop what we are doing and listen to her.... SHE is trying to tell us something with all these storms now the question is are we gonna do something about it or just try to blame everyone else but ourselves... Yeah things took too long to get resolved in the Gulf Coast but if we would not have caused the problem to begin with then we have no one else to blame but ourselves... Now that we have taken so much from mother nature lets just thank her for giving us life if not we are headed for a terrible future. And that is my venting moment what do you think?
