Happy Mother's Day!

Today was an awesome day even if I got nothing material. Honestly I wanted nothing. I just wanted to have a good day. It was decent. I woke up at 7:30 and got beautified. I jumped in the shower and washed my hair 3 times, shaved my legs blew my hair out and dressed up. I walked into the kitchen and made breakfast. Seeing my family not starve makes me happiest of all. Then my Big Ro woke up and thanked me for breakfast. We had bacon eggs toast and liquado. I was thrilled. My Big Ro and I sat down and watched a movie online called the eye. It was a good movie but made me upset.

At noon I laid down in bed with my big ro before I knew it I nodded off to sleep. I woke up at 330. I got the kids dressed and we headed out for an early dinner. We went to my favorite pizza place. It is called fargos. It has great pizza. So all in all my day was good. Simple but good. Isn't it funny that sometimes the good things in life are the simple ones?

Come home daddy

Yes it is Saturday and yes the house is already trashed. Daddy you have worked enough today come home and be with your babies. Mommy needs a break mommy needs to rest. Mommy well mommy needs you. We went to Target but I did not buy anything. It was not the same without daddy saying that is a great find mom. Little Ro running around at every green car saying Dad is breaking my heart. Come home daddy and take a rest. Well we have to run around a little but if today is as nice as yesterday at least we will not bicker. The wind is cold and the sun is bright lets bundle them up and play outside. Hopefully soon daddy will surprise me and I will hear a key in the door if not well at least I will be happy to see him home. Thanks.

I am so tired

and this is just a preview of the weeks to come with Roana out of school as of Weds. Hubby is working tomorrow so we will see what happens. Still very torn about what to do this weekend. I guess I will make up my mind on Sunday. No matter what I promise, lots and lots of pics. Sorry so short I am so tired.

The Adventures of A Two Year old.

Run, run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me my name is Ro-n! This descibes him to a "T". Ever since he hit 2 I swear he has so much more energy and add that to defiance and yes we have a winner...we have terrible 2's. One moment its "mommy" next its "daddy" then its screw you all. I guess little boys are 20 xs different then little girls. Right now as I type he is standing next to me preteding to snore so I will lay down with him. The joys of motherhood.

Lately Lil Ro cannot tolerate the stroller. I have been checking this out. Honestly I did not want to pay 50 so I have been watching craigslist and freecycle. I finally found one on craigslist. I paid a whopping $5 for it. So far he does not fight me when its time to leave and he does not cry when we leave his sister at school. I am very happy so far.

Mother's day we have plans. I am very happy. Rogelio asked me what I wanted to do. I thought about it and out popped out I want to go to the zoo and then subway. I want to embrace being a mother that day. I am growing up. Mother's day used to be all about me and the presents. Now its more about being a family. Well I will post pics later. I am having a good time being mom right now. Check you later.

It wasn't that bad of a weekend

So my hubby ended up working almost 12 hours on Saturday so we could relax on Sunday as a family. It was nice to not do much. One thing happened though. My lil Ro stuck buzz lightyear down the toilet. The apartment people are coming tomorrow to fix it.

Yesterday we went to a park and played with the kids and dogs. We had a blast. Lil Ro was running all over the place. Roana was screaming and playing like no tomorrow and me I chased them all around so I could snap the memories. I complain about alot of things in this life. But I need to stop complaining about my children. Truth be known I am blessed that I have them and alot of people would kill to have them. I am trying to plan something nice this weekend and next. This weekend is mothers day and thursday is our wedding anniversary. Life is good...here are some pics.

This Weekend is going to Suck

I know the kids are home and I should be rejoicing but to me it feels like any other day. My husband woke up at the crack of dawn and went into work. He is going to work an 8 hour day today and tomorrow. Yes I know rejoice it is overtime but when do I get to see my husband? Yesterday he told me next week I am going to go hang out with Lou a friend from work. Let me get this straight last week was Joe for dinner, this week is work and next week is Lou. One its mother's day weekend and 2 I deserve a break too. To top things off it feels like winter here so I really cannot take the kids out anywhere. I am so frusturated but I am holding it in.

Roana only had 12 days left of being a first grader. My baby is growing up fast. I cannot believe how quickly time flies. Oh well. Off to clean my biohazard apartment. Hope everyone has a better weekend then me .

What I would love for Mother's Day!

I would really love to win One million dollars but realistically since I don't play the lottery that is not happening the closest that I will see that money is bushes stimulus package. LoL.


Mothers day is very hard for me. I know its supposed to be about you as a mother but I always look back and reflect on my mother. I miss her daily. I hear my hubby talking to his mom on the phone and I miss that bond so much. It amazes me. Before I became a Mexican by marriage I did not think much of dear old mom, but when I see his relationship I long for so much more. When mom passed on in 2004 I swore I would celebrate each mothers day honoring her the way she deserved yet I am lacking.

This mother's day. Money willing of course I am making plans. I will take the children to seven falls and walk the path I walked with my mother before they were born. I will release a green balloon into the sky to remind myself she is still watching. I will enjoy my children and also mourn her in silence. Life is hard without a mother to advise you. I wish I had relished every moment in time with her. I wish I had never muttered the words I hate you as a child.

Life is hard without her but I will keep moving forward. My children carry part of her. They always will. So for this mothers day I wish for her. I wish she knew my children. I wish for lots of things. Realistically I know what will happen. I will get a warm bath and tough steak and lots of tears. For mothers day just give me that well deserved break and a peice of sausage.

My Baby Is A Big Boy

So Tuesday was the big 2 and I was very emotional. I made cake and tomorrow I am taking the kids by myself to celebrate. I am taking them to Pizza Hut and Toys R Us then the dollar tree. I am so blessed to have beautiful children and a decent man. He actually does care about me. Talking his friend invited him out to somewhere on Sunday. He looked at me concerned and said baby then I cant spend time with you. I will be fine honey. I will take the kidlets to that new park across the street. Have fun. I am learning if you hold onto your man too tightly like a butterfly it will crumple and die. I regress.



Today was Ro-Ns weigh in at his WIC appointment. For these first few months he has been below the chart. Well finally we got on the chart hurray!



He weighed in at 25 lbs 8 ozs 18 %

He was 35 1/4 inches tall 70% height.



I am renaming him the weed. Just wanted to brag. Thanks for looking

My Joy, My Son

Ever since we had our daughter in December of 2000 we dreamed of having 2 or 3 children. We tried very hard when she turned 2 to start conceiving again. My mother passed in September of 2004 and I mourned her death accordingly. I prayed to God to bless me with another child and went on living life. I was working as a customer service tech for Virgin Mobile when I was shopping with my SIL. We where discussing a mutaul friend of ours who discovered she was pregnant. I thought back in my dates and realized I was late. By a week or so. The day was September 10th 2005. It was 1 year exactly to the day that I had lost my mother. No way in 5 years was there a way I pregnant. It could not have been the one time in Vegas could it have been? I stopped at Walmart and picked up an equate pregnancy test. I came home quickly and ran to the bathroom. I peed on the stick and instantly the test came back. I was pregnant. I screamed and jumped up and down. I scared my poor daughter who could only imagine something was wrong. I picked up the phone and called my husband and tried to tell him our news. He was on the phone with a customer and would have to call me back. Instead I called my sil and told her. Eventually my hubby called back and he was just as thrilled as me.

My first doctors appointment was when I was 12 weeks. I was so excited to hear its heart. I still remember my first ultrasound. The tech could not tell me what I was having lol. She said I was not far enough along. I cried and cried and everyone thought something was wrong. I was a train wreck.
4 weeks later my doctor sent me in to the lab again to check the chambers and my son proudly displayed his bits for both me and my husband to see. I cried again but this time from tears of joy.
The pregnancy progressed fast and I was put on bed rest because of my high blood pressure. I lost my job and stayed at home with my wonderful daughter.


On April 21st I was scheduled to be induced due to my PIH. I woke up at 6 a.m. to get ready and called the hospital to verify my room. To my surprise all the rooms were full. I began to sob. Rog took me in and had them listen to the baby's heart and we came home. They said they would call me when a room opened up. We ran around and did a few more errands and at about 1:30 the call came. My dh and I dropped dd off at my sister in laws and raced to the hospital so I wouldn't lose my room again.They then started my ivs because I was GBS+ I won't lie the penacillon burned my veins but it was worth it to get a healthy baby. At 5 they came in and started another round of medication and then hooked up the oxytocin. I was checked and I was 3 cm and 70 effaced with baby at -1 station. They took their time and turned up my pitocin slowly. At around 10 I was 6-7 cms dialated. I asked for some iv meds. They tried to talk me into an epidural but declined as I wanted full control of my body. I will be honest with you all those meds for me only really worked with the first dose. The baby was now at 0 station. I was estatic. An hour later I was in excruciating pain. My pitocin was turned up to about 12. The contractions were killing me and Rog was suggesting I get the epi. I still refused. I just asked for a lil more meds. Finally after about 6 hrs of labor at 1:24 a.m on the 22nd. I woke up and screamed at my dh to grab someone anyone as I had to get rid of this pain. My midwife came in and checked me and hollered into the hallway its time to get this baby out. By now I am so exhausted as I have been awake for almost 20 hrs. I keep telling the midwife I cant do it. She then told me susan he is right there you gotta push. I honestly felt like kicking her in the head. Finally I realized I wanted to see my lil miracle. And I beared down. The midwife was very encouraging and surprisingly he popped out at 1:42 am in the morning and was looking around. i had only pushed 12 minutes.He wasa beautiful baby very well behaved. He had clear gray eyes and curly dark brown hair. He was 6 lbs 12 ozs and measured in at a shocking 21 inches long. He had long fingers and will probally be a sports player. When we left the hospital he was weighing 6 lbs 7 ozs.We also ended up naming him Rogelio Andrey (Awn-dree) and I call him Ro-N

So there is his story. It has been 2 years now and I honestly cannot imagine life without him. He is annoying at times but he is my son. Enjoy these pictures through these last 2 years.

Sunday the Day for Rest

Uh huh, yeah right. My sil did not show up for the match but invited is over. No thank you I will stay home in my apartment and relax. I am tired and need a break. Saturday I can hardly remember what happened. Maybe it was the pina colada or the fuzzy navel I drank. Oh well it was nice I am sure as I have nothing to complain about.

Sunday we went to another place to eat. I was going to take pictures but I forgot. You know how time flies. I laughed as we went back to entertainmart and prayed that man came again but we were not lucky. So we came home and laid down. I told big Ro I was tired and just wanted to relax. I went into the front room and played the nintendo wii with the kids. I played for 2 hours and I am sore. I was researching games and found one called wii fit. I am going to buy this. If I can have fun and work out it is worth it. So not many events but wanted to check in.
