No news is good news.

I just realized today I am done. I am not going to have any more babies. It is amazing what a year with a toddler boy does to you. I love my two children with all my heart but if we threw another one into the mix I would have to throw myself in an asylum. For example, today my daughter had no school. Usually when its me and Lil Ro its chill. Well all day long I hear No no no. Lil Ro no. Followed by screaming and a smack. I run in to see my kids laying on the floor entwined in a wrestling move. I breath deeply and hold my temper. Lil Ro back to your corner and Roana back to yours. Round two begin. I am blessed with two wonderful children so I am not going to test the waters any further.

Also today Roana sat at the kitchen table and had a meltdown. She seriously cried for 2 hours. I did not know what to do. She then told me she was going to lose recess because she did not do her spelling words. I am going to talk to her teacher tomorrow and I am going to stand behind the teachers suggestion. It ultimately is Roana's responsibility to be in charge of her homework. Know what I mean?

Right now it is 8:45 pm. Big Ro is snoring on our mattress and Roana is passed out on the couch. Lil Ro is running laps around me. I am trying to find the positive in all of this. I know one day I will look back and laugh at it all. I will huddle my grandchildren and tell them these stories of your mom/dad used to do the same things. I look forward to these days but I am honestly in no hurry to have them come. I know my children are good and like anyone else are entitled to having their day off and I mean that every way possible. I love my babies and want the world for them. I know with all I want to do. I will give them that some day soon. And if I do not I know I am giving them the best I can.

Finally I did it

I made some tamales! They turned out wonderful of course. I think I may have found my solution. I am going to sell tamales for the holidays. Whatever I make will be for the kids christmas. I am so excited and Rogelio stands behind me. Yeahhh. I hope all is well for everyone else. Off to chill with hubby and fall asleep.

We are having good days lately

Today we had dinner at pacos and we went to the store to buy things so mommy can make tamales tomorrow! Woo hoo! We had some hot dogs for lunch and curled up on the floor in the front room. It is supposed to snow tomorrow or Monday we will see. I took the kids outside to burn off energy for about an hour. Honestly the kids could use much more time then that but mommy is just out of energy. I am so ready for the holidays but dreading it at the same time. I really do not know how I am going to do this. Roana wants very expensive things but mommy is setting a strict limit. I am actually thinking of selling a few things. Maybe getting things off craigslist too. What you all think? So its a long day but a peaceful one. Hope you all do well this weekend.

Yep just another busy day

Today I had to call the maintence and have them fix our leaky sink. They came and fixed it. I had to call many places and reclean my apartment. I am trying to clean it on a daily basis so I do not get over loaded. Dang 1 pm rolled around quickly so I had to pick Roana up from school. After school we ran to target and got a couple of tshirts for the kids. I then picked up some hot dogs for dinner.

Daddy came home at 4 and we ate. Then everyone took naps. We did not get to go to the store today so no tamales for me. I am thinking of doing something with the kids tomorrow. I want tamales dang it. Wish me luck I am going through withdrawl here.

Busy day indeed

I have put off too many things lately. So today I had about 5 phone calls I had to make no more waiting. I could not put them off any longer. I called a couple of places for my friend Pedro. Then I had to call the windshield doctor to repair some chips in our windshield. The cable guy came and fixed my internet. He showed me where one of my dogs had chewed a cable making it unsteady. By the time all this was done it was time to take Roana to the doctor for her flu mist and checkup.

She has grown an inch and 1/4 since her last visit in July. I am so proud of her. I originally had her set up for the vaccine but they ran out so we got the flu mist. They do not allow cameras in the room however so no pictures. Then we went to our friend pedros and came home. It was a short day it seems. Tomorrow Roana has school until 1 and I have more calls to make. The maintence needs to come and fix a pipe under the sink and I am waiting for the medical supplies to come and get the oxygen concentrator. Busy busy days ahead. Hopefully we can do something exciting this weekend.

Happy Blogoversary!

Today is a very good day for me so far. I woke up thinking I was awaking from a dream. It took me .50 and a newspaper later to realize it is not. Our country is starting to look in a new way. We are finally becoming color blind. I am heartbroken that people still think they can tear you down. Because I voted for Obama I am told I am a bad mama who supports abortion. It is ok. We are in America and we all have the right to our Own Opinions. I think Obama is the breath of fresh air we all need. Imagine we are having someone we can relate too for a change. This man came from nothing. He is an inspiration and I look forward to these next 4 years.

1 year ago I started this blog. I swear it does not seem that long ago. I have cried and I have laughed. I have bitched and I have rejoiced. I think this blog has helped me mellow out. I know having it to complain on has helped my family. I come and let the thoughts flow here instead of hollering at them. I am loving my life. Things are looking up this year. I could not have asked for a better blogaversary present.

ETA: I lied. One of my best friends gave me an awesome blogoversary gift. She gave me a wonderful page. I love it and I cannot thank her enough. Thank you Anelys. This is better then I dreamed and please know it means the world to me. I was blessed when we found each other in 2005. I know one day we will meet and it will not even be ackward. You are like a sister to me and someday somehow I will repay you. Love ya girl.

We voted.

We are awaiting the results. Roana and Lil Ro are curled in front of nick and hubby is currently relaxing with his Xbox 360. I am on pins and needles refreshing the map every 20 seconds. If I do not get back on its because I am celebrating. I cannot take this pressure this is too overwhelming. I have never felt this strong on a canidate. I hope our nation is ready for whatever may come.\
My daughter is so excited. I want to wake her if he wins but I probably wont. Our nation is going to do great things again. Lets get ourselves out of this hole.

Tomorrow is a day we will all remember

For the first time in my life my daughter and I are talking politics. It astounds me at how much she can compehend. It all started out like this.

Roana: Mama are you voting tomorrow?
Me: Of course honey why?
Roana: Are you voting for the white one or the brown one mommy?
Me: Why honey?
Roana: Ms Brown says this is the first time we will have a brown president if that guy is president and I like him he is brown mommy.
Me: Yes he is brown honey but guess what he is part white too honey. His mommy was white and his daddy was brown. I like that about him too. He is a good man honey.
Roana: That makes me happy mommy. That means I can be president one day too.

Wow my baby gets it. She is witnessing history. Tomorrow we are going to the polls and she will help me cast this historic vote. Imagine this will give our children some hope. Some chance to be who they desire. It will give them a man of various heritages to look up to. It shows them it ok to be different and that we are all equal. We can all raise from poverty to become something more. I am very excited about this election. I pray we as a nation make the right decision and look past the color of skin. Our children have the right ideas if only we would stop corrupting them. I am so proud to be part of this country right now and hopefully tomorrow will help me even more be prouder to be part of this great nation.

The time has come

My little one. Mommy is now officially potty training. I love seeing your in your big boy shorts and diapers seem to keep going up in price so lets get this started. I am so proud of you. Today you only had one pee pee accident and refused to go poopy at all. But you will get there. Mommy is going to buy some pull ups to help with this process and on Thursday mommy will let you get a new potty and some new shorts too. Daddy has agreed. Our little man needs to grow up and you have shown us you are ready.

We went to the park today and mommy made dinner. We had tortas of jamon for lunch and then for dinner we had seafood alfredo. The shellfish made mommy break out and gave her trouble breathing. But I know you guys love it so I cannot complain. Then we munched on candy again. I am so blessed by all of this. I love my life and will not complain too much about it.

Just another Lazy Saturday

Today was wonderful. We had a candy rush of course from all the goodies we snatched from our kiddos but today we are attempting something new. Today we had a couple over. We are spending time with them. The boyfriend is 21 and the girlfriend 19. It is kind of weird being around someone who is 9 years younger but I know she is a good person. We ordered pizza and the kids laughed and played. We had a good time. I told them I hope we can hang out again soon. Time will tell. We watched Ghosthunters live and let me tell you that creeped me out. But I love that show and will not stop watching. Life is good right now.
