That's my cousin!

That's my cousin (boy)! It's so cool to have a cousin as a model. He is a Gap model. So cool! Isn't he a cutie?! He's actually getting married this month after Christmas. "Congrats Chee and Hung!!! I wish you guys the best. "

Life is Unfair

Why is it that bad things happen to good people? I don't steal, drink, or curse. I have a pretty good head on my shoulder. I have a big heart. I care about people. I go to church and pray. I live my life through Christ. I try to be the best I can be. I try to live my life as a Christian should live. But still bad things happen. Life is just not fair. I don't understand why life goes that way. Why doesn't bad things happen to bad people? Why did God give us free choice? Because there are idiots out there that are making the wrong choices that are hurting innocent people.

I am frustrated and very upset. On Sunday night, during the rain, somebody decided to throw a brick through my husband's car window. It shattered the whole window and water from the rain got in the car and it was a mess. My husband discovered it on Monday morning when he was about to leave for work. I was in shock when he came back in and told me. It was pouring rain and glass was everywhere in his car. He had to take all his stuff in the car so it would get damaged or stolen. He had to put a trash bag on the door so it stopped the water from getting in. He called the police and they said they would send someone by as soon as they can. Apparently there was a lot of accidents that day because of the rain. The policewoman sat in her car for about 10 minutes and told my husband to get back in the house because it was raining. She never got out of the car to even look at the car. She called my husband on the phone and said she will put the report in. Can you believe that? She didn't even get out of the car. How could she even right a report? On what? The evidence (Brick) was still in the car! She didn't even care to look. And other cars were also vandalized but the cop was too busy so she couldn't make that report. She took off. Wow, isn't that great. We can always depend on our police department to serve and protect us. Yeah right! She didn't even want to get out and get wet from the rain. Unbelievable!!
So then he calls the insurance company (Mercury). They say that they are very swamped due to many accidents and cant get an adjuster out to look at the car so we will have to send a tow truck to take it to the garage where they can take a look at it to make an estimate. Okay so that sounds about right. Oh no, its not. We don't hear anything until Wednesday, the day it is pouring rain, that the estimate is going to be $450 and our deductible is $500 so the insurance is not going to take care of it. Looks like we are going to have to pay for it to get fixed, on our own. I forgot to tell you that before all this, my husband got a rental car on Monday because the insurance company told him that it would be covered too. So here we are thinking that everything was going to be taken care of and we didn't have to worry about a thing. We were wrong! Dead wrong! We got screwed. Mercury is now stating that they are not going to pay for the damages or for the towing. We have to take care of the cost to fix the car and for the towing. Now tell me where the logic is on that? It was Mercury who asked to tow the car so they could have their adjuster look at the car so why do we need to pay for the towing. I could have gotten AAA to tow it for free. If they could have just told me from the beginning that it wouldn't be more than the deductible then I would have just called someone to come out and fix the window. So why are we being screwed around here? What is going on? I don't understand what is going on here? No one will listen to us. Mercury is adamant on not paying for the towing when it was their call and their reasoning for it and not ours. We just called them and they said that it was going to be taken care of. So are we now not to trust our own insurance? Should we not trust anyone? Aren't they suppose to be on our side. We pay our premiums. Our business helps pay them so why are they not helpful to us when we need them? I don't know what to do. I feel like we are being taken advantage of and we should not have to pay for the towing.

The garage is now telling us that we need to move our car out if we are not going to have them fix it. They want the money for the towing. They don't care about what Mercury told us and they need us to move the car and we cant if we don't pay the towing fee. So now we have to fork out $100 for towing when we could have just got AAA to do it for free if they would have told us it would cost us. And the window needs to be fixed and it will cost us about $140 with an outside vendor. That doesn't even count the upholstery that will need to be done too because rain got in the car. All this is money spent unneeded. Not our choice. Not an expense we intended or can afford. This is all coming during Christmas and it is really affecting us hard. This is so not fair!

It's times like this that I just don't want to be calm, collective, cool, and christian like. I want to yell, scream, hit someone. I want to hate, hurt, and be mean. I don't deserve this and my family doesn't either. I hope that whoever did this to us, gets whats coming to them. I need prayer and need things to go well tomorrow. We will have to drop off the rental car because Mercury will not pay for the rental no longer. We then have to pick up the car in the garage and pay the towing fee. And then bring car back to the house to get the window done. And also take it to a car wash place to vacuum all the glass and take it to get detailed. I am getting sick just thinking about it. Just imagining how much all this is going to cost us and where is this money going to come from. Our Christmas is ruined and I haven't even done our gifts. How am I going to even be able to do that with all this coming at us? I am just at a lost and I don't know where to turn.

Meaning of Christmas

I have been in denial for awhile that Christmas was coming. I have stayed away from the malls, the department stores, any where else that crowds were scrambling for presents. I am not one of those people that enjoy being smothered by others in a crowded aisle looking for anything that might be a possibility of a present. I hate waiting in a line for longer than 10 minutes so I can give my money away for something that probably doesn't even cost half the price to make it. I know I sound like the scrooge but honestly Christmas isn't what is should be anymore. Christmas has turned into nothing but money. The economy feeds off of holidays so they can take all our money and all we care about is what bargain or best gift we can find. What happen to the true meaning of Christmas. The word itself has diminished. We cant even use the word "Christmas" in some places. Stores have to say "Happy Holidays". It was never an issue before or people never made such a big deal over the word "Christmas". How can we stop using the word but still celebrate the day? The day was made to celebrate the birth of Christ, therefore, the day was named Christmas. No one is made to celebrate holidays if they do not want to so why change the name so you can just celebrate on a day for celebrating about the birth of Christ. For example, people who don't celebrate Hanukkah don't make a big deal about it and want to change the name and celebrate on that day. So why is it such a big deal that we say "Merry Christmas"? It has been a holiday that was named that for centuries and now we have come to a point that we cant even say it to one another. I am so sad and disappointed in what this world has come to. What will be next? I fear that this world will end up in a horrific ending. I just hope that me and my family will be passed on before it happens. "As for me and my family, I will serve the Lord".

The Mom Song

This woman is amazing! If I could sing like her I would sing this to my son everyday.

Check This Out!

This is hilarious! Make sure you watch it till the end. I wish I had done it at my wedding!!!! That looks like so much fun. I'm sure they will remember that for the rest of their lives.

Not Diggin' This Weather!

So what is going on with this weather? One day it's freezing cold and next it's flaming hot. And now it's dry and windy. I don't know how to dress anymore. My allergies are killing me with this dry wind. I cant stand Santa Ana winds! I feel for all those people who live where that fire is right now. The winds are definitely not helping them either. I pray that the fire fighters can contain or put down that fire by sun down. I would hate to be driving home from work and finding my home in flames. That is so terrible. Times like this makes me so thankful for everything I have. "Thank you God!" I feel for those people and pray that this fire doesn't damage too much. "God watch over them."

Plumeria

This is my plumeria plant! It has bloomed finally. Isn't it beautiful? I am just so excited because I ha vent killed it yet. I have tried to grow 7 of these already and killed all of them. This is my 8th one and finally I have succeed. Only because it was giving to my by my co-worker. Her mom really knows how to pack the pot up because she used big rocks and sand in the bottom which really made a huge difference. When I did mine I only used dirt and I think that is why all mine died. Well and the fact that this one is the one I actually put out in the direct sunlight. The other ones I didn't do that and sheltered them inside my patio which was covered so they didn't last with out sun. So I am so proud of myself! The flowers are so beautiful. I hope this plant keeps growing. I am ready for my second one now. I am thinking about getting another one but a yellow one this time. I think I might be ready for two. :)

Air Show!

Went to the Air show in San Diego last weekend and we had a blast. My son really got into it and didnt want to leave. We were shocked because he wasnt really into it at first when we told him where we were going. But I guess he got a taste of it and now he is hooked on plans. He especially loved the Blue Angels. He cant stop talking about them. We even bought him a toy one so he could play with it and that is all he plays with now. I wished we could have stayed a little longer but it was going to rain that night and we didnt want to get soaked. And we didnt bring enough cash so we left earlier than our friends. The drive was long but it was nice to do something different. Next year should be better. We are planning to do it differently and stay longer.

VIZIO!

So we finally went out and got the BIG screen my husband has been whinning for. We have been searching for the best deal and also looking for the right entertainment table to fit all our stuff. We finally decided to get it at Walmart and found both the TV and table there for a great price. The table isnt has big as what I wanted but it was the best one we could find that would fit most of our stuff. We have so much stuff, it's sad! Seriously. I'm not even playing. So we had to get rid of some stuff and rearrange things. My husband of course was okay with that since he is getting his new toy. Him and his brother set it all up in one night. At the end of the night we ate pizza and watched a movie. It was nice! :) Lovin' it.

First Day of Second Grade!

My Baby is all grown up! He is in Second Grade. OMG! I never thought they would grow up so fast. He is just getting smarter and smarter everyday. I cant keep up with him. He asks me questions that I dont even know the answer to. He is only 7! I dont know what I am going to do. I might have to go back to school. He is enjoying school and seems like doing much better with this class. His teacher has not sent home any notes about his behavior yet. We went to the Parent Open House Night and she said he does talk a little more than she would like but she doesnt see any problems or bad behavior with him. So we were very relief to hear that. She said that he just needs to pay attention more which we already know. He is just so talkative and busy. I just dont know where he gets it. My husband swares he gets it from me but I never had that problem at school. So I dont know if that is true or not. He is coming home with grades of A and B so we are very proud of him. He is still getting picked on and teased. He has been bullied since last year. He has told me that the older kids are calling him gay and that he is a girl because he likes to sing and dance. Come on now....and this is a Christian school. I expect better from a Christian school. I know kids will be kids but that is where parenting and the education system comes in. We are here to teach these children on how to behave and treat others. So if I am paying more to take him to a Christian school then I expect more from the teacher, school, and children. SO I let my voice be heard when my son ran to me crying about being bullied. And I made sure something was done about it. His principal had meetings with each classroom on how to behave and treat others. So far he has told me that everyone is now nice to him and has not called him any names. So I am glad that was resolved because that was a difficult issue to handle. What is wrong with a boy who likes to sing and dance. We see it all over TV and movies and shows but it's okay for the top dogs. So when it comes to a child then something is wrong with him. What makes him gay just because he likes to sing and dance. So does that make Elvis, Santana, Kanye West, Akon, etc gay because they are all singers. What is this world coming to? Why do people think they have the right to judge others? We dont. We are not GOD or in charge. I pay my bills, not you, so why are you all up in my business???? People need to really start worrying about themselves and not work so hard on trying to change others. We are not perfect so why point fingers when you yourself have faults? Just a thought.........I love my baby boy!

My 33th Birthday!

My co-worker's did this for me for my 33th Birthday! They are so awesome. They really know me! I love ELVIS. :) It was very hard for me to take each one of him down. I did leave my mat though. I know it is sad that I have to step on him and sit on his face but I love looking at him when I come into work in the morning. It just makes me wake up! :) Then I had Hawaiian food for lunch! YUMMY and ONO (means good in Hawaiian).


My husband took me out to dinner to Buca's and then we were so pooped by the end of the night we just rented a movie and watched it in bed. Nice and simple. We never ended up going to the church thing because we ended up doing erands all day long. Just another day.

A Little More Depressed

Okay this morning my husband asks me if we have any plans for my birthday on Sat. Now shouldn't it be the other way around? Should I be the one to ask if we have plans? And since I didn't know of anything I said no and he then tells me we are going to a church meeting and training. Yes, I knew about the meeting but thought since it was my birthday and all that we would miss that and be doing something else. Don't get me wrong, I love my church and all but for my birthday I would have like to do something a little more fun. I guess I was wrong and now I am a little more depressed about just another birthday. Well, at least I have great co-workers at my job because they sent me home early last night so they could decorate my cubicle. And I get to be spoiled with gifts and food today! I will enjoy it tremendously and take in every minute since it doesn't look like I will be doing anything on Sat. :(

Another Year Already!

I cant believe it has been another year already and my birthday is coming up this Saturday. I don't even want to think about it. I remember when I was young and I couldn't wait to get old enough to do things and now I am dreading each year I turn older. Each year seems to go by faster. Is that a good thing? I don't like getting older. I don't like feeling older either. My body is going through changes and I never thought I would have to worry about getting white hairs. My mom didn't start getting hers until she was over 50 and I am only turning 33! I don't get it. I am now dying my hair to hide the white hairs and not just because I want a new look. So sad. The day is near that I will have to go and get a mammogram. That is my deepest fear. I heard those things hurt like hell! Not looking forward to those. Anyhow, dont know what my husband has in store for my birthday but I am pretty much depressed about the whole year going by so fast. Really life is short if you think about it. It goes by too fast. Need to really slow down in life and cherish every minute you have with your family-"mental note to myself".

Here we are at the Aquarium of the Pacific. It was our first time there and it was pretty cool. Didn't know but it is a non-profit business. Every penny they get from admissions go straight to the animals there. I really liked that and it made me feel a little better that we spent over $50 at a place that only took us an hour to walk around. My son loved it so that is all that matters. He didn't even want to leave and we had already walked around the place twice. We also walked around the pier and it was really pretty. Got to glance at the Queen Mary from far away and she was still huge.

BECKHAM, YOU SEXY THING YOU!

HOT TAMALE!

SO SEXY!

Vacation???

Have you ever heard of a work place that gives you many days of vacation and sick time? Have you ever been at a work place that cared about your well being? Have you ever dreamed of a place that actually lets you take time off whenever you need to? Have you ever worked at a place that actually tells you that you need to take some vacation time? Well, I have and I love my job! My job rocks. I mean who does that?Unfortunately, my husband's job is not the same. So he cant just take off time with me. I actually had to find a day to take off work because I had no idea when to take it. Don't get me wrong or anything. I love taking vacation but it's kind of hard for me to take a day and not do anything. I know there is so much to do here in California but I am a kind of girl who likes to do things with other people. I don't care for going to the library or the coffee shop and reading a book all by myself. I don't like the quiet and solitude state of mind. But I don't like crowds either. So I guess I am complicated. I just like to be around friends and family and hang out and do things. Like this weekend we went to the OC Fair and it was great. We got to watch my son do some rides with his Uncle and we ate and shopped at the vendors. I didn't want it to end. So today, I gave the day off and I gave my son the option to go to summer school or be with me. And he choose to stay with me. I know.....am I crazy! I should have taken the day to be alone. But I would have just been alone and miserable. I just don't get that and I don't enjoy it as some people do. So my son and I have decided to hang out at Knott's for a couple of hours and then he has his swimming lessons at 5:30pm. I think I can call that a productive day off. I just hate using my vacation time for nothing. I'm use to saving them all up and using it for like a big vacation trip or something. But we don't have one planned until Thanksgiving! We are planning to go to Texas to visit my in-laws and the whole family. I am so excited. So till then I will have to monitor my time because I cant go over the maximum time for vacation accrued. How great is that? Like I said, I love my job. God really blessed me with this job and I am so thankful. I'm planning to stay there until I retire!!!! Wow, that's like in 30 yrs. Scary!!!!!!!

Grandma Visiting!

Here is a picture of my son with his Grandma and one with my husband, my mother in-law, and my son.  She came and visited us for only a week. She lives in Texas with her husband and their youngest son. They couldn't make it down here this time. She was so amazed that we could watch fireworks so closely for the 4th of July. She said that she might make it a tradition to come down every year for the 4th of July since she had so much fun. And she said, maybe next time she will bring her youngest son because he loves fireworks. We were happy to have her visit. Shawn rarely gets to see her so it was really nice for him to be able to spend some time with her. We will be seeing them soon for Thanksgiving. We are planning to fly up to Texas and visit them. They have a tradition where everyone in their family fly out and meet up at some one's house and has Thanksgiving dinner. Shawn has not been able to meet all of his family on my husband's side so that will be very cool for him. And I haven't either so it will be nice for me too. :) 

Be Aggressive!

I guess I have always known that I had a low self esteem and that I don't give myself enough credit for the things I do. I always think that I am not any good at anything and don't usually get praised for my work. I have to say that since I have had my new supervisor at my job for about two years, she has complimented and praised me more often then anyone has ever done. She also has been very honest with me. Today she pulled me in and we had a talk about some things she noticed and wanted to inform me. She wanted to let me know that she did see how hard I worked and that she noticed that I I was a team player. That made me really happy to know. She also wanted me to work on somethings like being more aggressive and assertive with my decisions at work. I tend to question myself and others because I like to make sure I cover my grounds so I don't get in trouble. I guess that is a weakness and an area I need to work on. She did bring up a good point that if I wanted to get promoted, I would have to have those qualities and be able to handle situations on my own. So that is going to be my new project. I am going to work on being more aggressive and making decisions without questioning it unless I really don't know the answer. I will start carrying myself as a confident and assertive person. It will be hard but I really do want people to see that I am capable of handling anything. I don't want to be looked at as a person that doesn't know what she is doing and is not a strong person. So I will be working extra hard and will be researching on how I can change myself. Wish me luck!

How Exciting!

Well, I just found out that my mother in-law is coming to visit us for a week. :) We have not seen her since my husband and I got married. So we have lots to catch up on and she will have some time to spend with my son. And also, my brother in-law will be in town and his girlfriend is coming to visit from Washington. So we will have a fun weekend ahead of us. We are planning to have a BBQ on Friday for the 4th of July. Haven't decided on what we will do for the weekend but I'm sure it will be fun. I will take lots of pictures and post them up.

Oh, the OC Fair is going to be here on July 11th! Hooray! I am so excited. I love the fair. We go every year. I mostly like the food and shopping. My son likes the rides. My husband likes the food and the rides. I think he even likes the shopping. Hehee :) Cant wait to go!

Has it been that long?

Wow, I didn't realize how long it has been since I've written. I have been so caught up with my brother in-law visiting, my son in summer camp, my son's dance recital, playing the Wii, and every other thing that comes up in my life. 

My brother in-law is now back in San Diego. Not sure what is going on with the whole matter. We thought he was going to stay in Texas for training and then to Iraq. Things are always changing with him so we never know. We will be seeing more of him in the weekends since he is back in San Diego. Looks like he might be here for 4th of July! Yeah! :) 

My son is actually done with 1st grade and is in summer camp now. :( He is growing up too fast. I really don't even remember the whole year passing by so fast until now. Scary! He is enjoying the fact that there is no homework every night. But I still have him reading and going over work books so he doesn't forget everything he learned in 1st grade. This whole summer camp thing is stressing me out now. I miss school. I didn't have to worry about if he would be safe or not but now I am terrified to even drop him off. They take these kids to water parks, Knot's, the beach, and all sorts of stuff. Now that is stressful because I don't think schools should take young kids to those places if there are like 20 children and maybe 3 teachers. And they drive them in their own cars and not even on a school bus or van. I almost had a heart attack when they told me they took my son without his booster seat. Yes, I am one of those over protective mothers but I would rather be that and save a life then one who didn't worry and regret that I didn't because it would be too late. I know they laugh and talk about me but I don't care. I want my baby to be safe and I don't want to make sure I can help prevent any harm that might happen to him as much as I can. That is my job as a mother. So why do some people not understand that and judge us? It should be those who don't worry or show concern that are the ones that are looked as wrong and not the mother who wants to make sure her child is safe. 

 So on the last day, we found out some really sad news. His teacher was let go and will no longer be working there. It is so sad how they treated her. I will really miss her. They had told her that there might be a chance that they didn't need her because they had two 1st grade class and the enrollment numbers weren't enough for both class. They said if they got 25 children then she could stay. They had got the enrollment numbers to 25 at the last day of school but then decided to change it to 30 children and said they no longer needed her. How sad is that? And this is a Christian School! Who does that to a person? That is just mean and cruel. When I came to pick my son up, I saw the teacher packing her stuff into her car and she looked in shocked. I am so sad for her and sad for the school because she was a wonderful teacher. Please keep her in your prayers, she needs a new job fast. She also has a teenager to take care of so that is another issue she has to worry about. 

My son's dance recital was soooo cute. He did so wonderfully. I am so proud of him. He is a natural. I cant wait to get the video so I can watch it again and again. Everyone did very well. It was a good show. It was based on the story "Jungle Book". My son was playing one of the bears and they danced to "Bare Necessities". 

We have been playing the Wii a lot. We got the Wii fit, Mario Kart, and Silent Hill Umbrella something. We have been busy here. Its the best thing ever. I love the Wii! I even got my mom into it. We created her Wii character the other night and it looks just like her. Its so cute. Looks like we might have to get another remote for her. Hehee :) 

Anyhow, it's late and I am tired. Good night. 

Contour Ab Belt

OK, so I saw this commercial about the Contour Ab Belt. It looked really good. I am thinking about getting it but it cost $200. They give you 30 days to try it out with no obligation. It all sounds so good. And the stories the people told were all good. They showed before and after pictures of them and it looks like it works pretty good. So I don't know if it is worth the $200. I really do need to do something about my stomach because I cant do sit ups or crunches due to having a bad back. It sucks. So maybe this thing is a miracle worker. I am really thinking about it. I just am worried it doesn't work. I doubt I will see a difference in 30 days so that trial thing wont help me. I just wish I knew someone who did have one or used it and know if it is any good. Well, if anyone knows anything or heard anything about it, please let me know. I would hate to waste my money on something that doesn't work. There are too many people who get conned over these commercials. I don't want to be one of them. I will let you know if I get one and if it works.

Good Times!

Today was my second day back to the gym since last year and boy let me tell you, it was no picnic. This morning I could barely move and then after I worked out today, it got even worse. Now my buttocks feel tight, and my legs seem to be heavier and harder to lift up. You know what? If it wasn't so darn painful and hard to workout, more people would do it. I know I would if it felt good. But I have to say it does feel really good after you work out. It feels like you just accomplished something. Too bad the results are not as fast as gaining the weight. I really think that it's messed up that even when you work out and feel pain after, you still cant see the results. If I feel the pain then I should see some results. I know if I eat crap I see the results right away. So why did God make our bodies that way? It just isn't fair. I just hope I don't get off the wagon again. I have to keep it up and lose this weight. I want to be healthy and live long enough to see my grandchildren one day.

Talking to Strangers

So something happened tonight that really bothered me. Although I am a Christian, I don't believe in knocking on every ones' door to tell them what to believe in. We just had these two women come by at 7pm (dinner time) and wanted to talk about religion. Now I usually just say I already go to a church and I am happy there. Well, my husband decides to close the door and have this conversation with them for over 30 minutes. Now that is long for him because he usually doesn't listen to stuff like that, especially to strangers knocking at the door at 7pm. So my son who goes to bed at 7:30 is waiting for him to come back in and pray with him, which is their nightly thing. As my son is waiting, I am in the shower hoping that when I come back out, my son will be already off to sleep. If he doesn't get his sleep, the mornings are not nice for me. So I am very strict on him going to bed on time. I come out of the shower and my son is clapping and singing. By now, I am furious. I tell my son to go open the door and say, "Excuse me but daddy I need you to pray with me because it is time for bed." My son comes back to me and says that his daddy told him to hold on and that he will be there soon. It was 15 minutes before he came in and as he came in he says, "uhhh" like he hated the fact that he was out there talking to them. If he really didn't want to hear it, trust me, he would have made it known and would have closed the door on them. BUT he did not. He stayed out there and talked and talked and listened to them go on and on about how we need to be baptised (which we already are). And he even made them laugh which he rarely even does with me because he is always serious. I know what you are thinking and no they were not young hot girls. The women could have been his mother. So it wasn't that. It's just not right to go knocking on people's door and making them feel uncomfortable and obligated to hear what you think. So what if I didn't agree and what if I don't want to hear it. Its a choice and that's why there are churches out there. Isn't it suppose to be a choice people! If I want to hear about God then I go to church. I don't go talking to strangers about my believe because that is between me and God. Now if someone is lost and want to learn about God then usually people know to go to church. I really don't need anyone knocking at my door telling me I will go to hell if I am not baptized. What is that? That is not choice. Now that is just straight scaring people into believing that our God is a mean. He is not a mean God. He wants us to choose for ourselves and make our own decisions. I need one of those signs to hang up for no solicitors. Maybe that will keep them away. It just frustrates me that he can have such a personal and deep religious conversation with strangers and not with me. That really hurts and makes me pissed. So I told him off when he came in and he said he would take care of my son so he wont be a problem for me. He didn't even get the point of it. I just don't get it. I just don't understand him. Why did he do it? Why did he even stay out there for so long? I know I am rambling on but I just don't know anymore. Does that make my marriage a bad one because he rather talk to strangers then to me? Does that mean he doesn't love me? Maybe I am taking it out of proportion but I am just trying to understand him. He tells me that he doesn't want my son going to bed later than 7:30 and that he had lots of work to do tonight and then he takes all that time to talk to strangers then go pray with his son. What is that? Why? I am just so disturbed by his actions right now that I want to scream. My night is ruined and I am now depressed and am going to go cry it out.

Rain! Rain!

I love this weather. Especially when I can be at home and in bed. Something about hearing the rain drops just makes me feel so relaxed. I don't know what it is. And the fresh smell of it after the rain is so nice. I wish it would rain more often. In Hawaii, it rained like everyday and it would rain even when the sun was out. It was weird. One minute you would be laying out on the beach sun bathing and then next minute you are laying there with rain pouring on you and then the sun comes out again. And the island people don't care, we just stay laying there. You can tell who the visitors are because they all run for shelter. Hehee :)

I have a long weekend ahead and I am so happy. On a sad note, my brother in law is leaving us this Sunday to go to his training camp in Texas. :( We will spend the weekend with him before he leaves. We will really miss him. Please keep him in your prayers. We will need many prayers to keep him safe. He will be leaving for Iraq in October.

TTFN!

Playing the Wii

Here is the video I tried to download the other day from Blogger but I guess it didnt work. Not having much luck with it. YouTube was much easier and better for me.

We Got the Wii!

Here is my son and his dad playing with the Wii Bowling. We got it last night. My son got to play with it for the very first time tonight. He beat me in bowling and thought he was all that until he got beaten by his dad. Ha!

This thing is addicting. Both me and my husband have stayed up late playing the bowling game against each other. I am going to beat him one day. I can't believe my own son beat me. How sad is that? Seriously it is a work out playing these sport games. We broke out in a sweat. I love this thing. I can't wait to get more games for it.

I Feel Yucky!

Nothing really to say but "I AM HOT!" I never realized that when I am hot, I get very tired and lazy. I don't feel like doing anything. I just want to drink a glass of ice tea and go to sleep. I love my AC. If I could hug it, I would. Actually I bet I could and it would feel really good. I think I will do that. Ahhhhhhhh! That was nice. I love you AC!

The heat is killing me!

OK people who know me, know that I cannot take this heat! And if ya don't know, now you know. Hot and me don't mix. I still don't know how I lived in Hawaii for 10 yrs and never melted away. That's why I wont move anywhere like Texas or Florida because it is hotter than this and I cant do it. We are planning to go down to Texas this year but it will be in November for Thanksgiving to visit my in-laws. Thank goodness because it will be so nice there during November. I cant wait. We haven't seen them for soooo long. I will be meeting my in-law's side of the family for the first time. So I am very anxious to meet all of them. And my son will get to see them too. Oh and my sister in-law will have two babies by that time and we will get to see them for the very first time! I cant wait to hold them. :) I will take lots of pictures when we go and I will post them up.

I heard this weekend is going to be hot like this and maybe hotter! All I'm doing is staying home with the AC on and drinking ice tea. AMEN! Maybe go out to get some movies and food but not sure yet. I might just send my husband to do that because I don't think I can handle that heat. Going in and out of the AC and into the heat gives me a headache so I just rather stay in AC until it cools off. I just hope it cools off at night because I have a graduation dinner to go to and I don't want my make-up to be dripping off my face.

Well, I think I will go take a cold shower to cool off and get a ice cold drink to sip on while I watch some television. TTFN!

It's Uncle J!

Here is a picture of my son and his Uncle. My son loves him very much! Can't you tell by him hugging his arm? Uncle J is visiting us for a couple of days. He is going to Iraq for training soon. He is in the Navy but he is working for the Army too. We will miss him a lot and wish him well while he is down there. He will be there for 10 months. Please keep him in your prayers.

My Other Knitting Projects

Here is my first scarf that I made. It took me awhile because I had to start over a couple of times. But I am still proud of it! It keeps me warm.

Here is my third scarf I made. The second one I made was for Valentine's Day and I gave it to my mom. I will take a picture of it and post that one up later. But this one is my favorite because I love browns. I wear this one the most. I have a lot of brown clothes so it matches with most of my clothes. :)

The next one I am making is for my son. He has been asking me to make him one for awhile so now that I am done with the blanket, I am know working on it. When I am done, I will post that one up too. It is so relaxing and fun to do. I wish I knew how to make other things besides scarfs and blankets. Maybe someone will teach me one day to make something else. :)

My Finish Project

Here is the project that I have been talking about. I couldn't really say what it was because it was a present for my cousin's 1st birthday. It took me a couple of months to knit this blanket and I finally finished it last Thursday night. I had my husband take it to the wash on Friday so that way it would smell nice and soft. It is the biggest project I have made so I am really proud of it.
Here he is with the blanket. I hope he likes it! He is so cute. We had lots of fun at the party, visiting family we hadn't seen for awhile. And the food was Ono. That means good in Hawaiian. The baby's uncle made Hawaiian food and it was so yummy! Thanks to the chef! :) Hope you had a nice birthday, G! We love you. Hope you are feeling better too. See you soon.

Happy Mother's Day!

What a day! It started with breakfast in bed and a wonderful sermon at church about what men need to do for their wife. Then I took my mom out to the salon to get her hair done for mother's day. She was so shocked. And she looks beautiful. I sware no one would ever believe she was over 60! What can I say, my mom ages wonderfully. I hope I will look as good as her when I am her age. While we were out, my husband got dinner ready. We had BBQ with carne asada. Mmmmmm yummy! You couldn't ask for a better day. I wish everyday could be as wonderful as today. Here is a picture of me and my mom. Love you Mom!

How to stop coughing in minutes!

Someone emailed this to me and I thought I might post this up just in case anyone had a bad cough that might want to try this out to see if it worked. I'm over my flu so I cant even try it out. Let me know if it works!

How to stop cough in 5 minutes!!!

"This is a must try...We have all been kept awake by our own or someone else's cough. Try this and pass it on. The tip and not the cough. ANYTHING is better than antibiotics. Even babies could benefit from this and the parents wouldn't worry about the safety of their child. And of course, it is harmless and free from any type of side-effects. WOW! I was raised, and raised my kids with Vicks. How come I never knew this? I can't wait for my next cough. Amazing!READ IT ALL. It works 100 percent of the time, although the scientists at the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren't sure why.

Treatment:To stop night time coughing in a child (or an adult, as we found out personally), put Vicks Vapor Rub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime and then cover with socks.Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about five minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. This works 100 percent of the time, and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly. I heard the head of the Canada Research Council describe these findings on the part of their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in children, as compared to alternative therapies like acupressure. I just happened to tune in to a.m. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs, so I listened. It was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, and in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago, and it worked 100 percent! She said it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her. The coughing stopped in a few minutes, and believe me this was a deep (incredibly annoying!) every few seconds, uncontrollable cough and she slept cough-free for hours every night she used it. If you have children or grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed."

It sounds unbelievable but if it works then that would be awesome. No more cough medicine or antibiotics. I'm sure the doctors wont like this idea.

Looking forward to Mother's Day!

So today was my Friday at work which is nice. I will have time to clean the house a little on Friday for our guest. My brother in law is coming to visit before he goes to Iraq for training. He is going to be switching from the Navy to the Army and getting trained in Iraq for 8 months to a year. We will need lots of prayers for him while he is there! Before he leaves he is spending some time with his family so we are so excited to have him come this weekend. I will take lots of pictures and post them up.

We also have a birthday party on Sat that we are attending. My cousin is turning 1 already! How time flies. It's sad that I only get to see him a couple of times because he lives down in LA. Especially with gas being so darn expensive, it's killing us to drive anywhere. We cant wait to see him and see how much he has grown!

And by the way, I am done with my project and cant wait to post it up. I will take a picture of it and try to post it up this weekend. I am really proud of this one because it was my biggest project and it took a long time. So this one means a lot to me. :)

Finally, I am really excited about Sunday for Mother's Day. We will be going to church and then having a BBQ at home. We have invited my mom and dad to come over. I love BBQ's. I just love to have get togethers period because family is really important to me. So this weekend will be a great weekend since I will be with family all weekend long! It's really not even about Mother's Day because I feel like everyday is Mother's Day for me. I just love holidays because it's a time to spend quality time with family members. I even like to cook but not clean up! :)

TTFN!

Ouch!

My friend M at work had a bad tooth ache yesterday and she didn't want to go to her dentist because she said he hurts her too much. So I gave her the number to my dentist, who is the best! He is AWESOME. So she made an appointment for today at 8:15am. She thought it was just a cavity but I told her it sounded like she might need a root canal. She said she would just go to the appointment and come to work after. I had a feeling she would not come in. She called and told us that she ended up getting a root canal and her mouth was all swollen. Poor thing! I felt so bad for her. She was in so much pain and she was scared to go to the dentist. And ended up getting the most painful procedure. I hated it when I got mine done. It was fine during the procedure but as soon as that medication wore off from my mouth, I thought my mouth was going to fall off. The throbbing of my head was like the wall vibrating from loud music. It was hell. So I don't think she will be able to come to work tomorrow. Hope you feel better, M! We sure missed you today. :)

Also my supervisor has been sick too. She must be really sick because she was off for two days. She is rarely sick. She must have gotten that nasty flu that everyone is getting. I think I was the starter. Sorry D! Hope you feel better too. :)

Hope everyone keeps healthy and drink lots of fluids.

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

I'm not Hispanic but I have to say I love Mexican food! So I would like to say, "Happy Cinco De Mayo" to everyone! I think I could seriously eat Mexican food everyday and not get sick of it. My friend M at work is Hispanic and she has given me some really good recipes and I'm sure I'm not even close to making what it's suppose to taste like but I love it anyways. My family loves it too. They are constantly asking me if I got any more new recipes from M at work. Hehee:) So I will have to hit up M for more recipes. I guess that's a hint that they are sick of the same old stuff I make. It's OK because I love to cook and try out new things. It's fun to me. I just hate the clean up part. So my husband and I have this great plan where I cook and he cleans. I love it! When my son gets older, I'm sure that will end up being his job. But for now, my husband is Mr Clean. :) So that's why I don't mind to cook. Muy Bueno!

Adios!

Happy Sunday!

Can anyone tell me what is up with this weather? One day it's crazy hot and the next it's freezing. I'm sorry but my closet only has room for clothes for one season at a time. God, I'm sorry to complain about the weather but seriously how am I suppose to fit the clothes I have for the summer and winter in my small closet? Not possible. I don't even know how to dress anymore because I'm either going to be too hot or too cold. I would rather have it too cold! :) I do love this weather. I think I am going to snuggle up in bed with a good movie and have some hot cocoa. Mmmmmm, that sounds good. :)

My son had his dress rehearsal today at his Musical Theatre class and he did really good. He is going to look so cute in his costume. He will be dressed as Baloo from Jungle Book. I thought the costumes were going to be big and furry but actually they were like a suede material so he wont be sweating in it. His play will be in the end of June. Cant wait! If I can I will try to record the play and post it up here.

Anyways, yesterday we dropped by this railroad fair thing they had going at Fullerton. It was pretty nice. They had part of the train from Disneyland where you could take a picture sitting in it. Then they had small train sets that people built for you to see. They also had them for you to purchase but they were way to expensive. They also had some food vendors there. My son got shaved ice. The boy scouts had a booth there that had $1 tacos with carne asada. They were the bomb! They tasted like the ones you get from a taco stand in Mexico. Boy, do I miss those tacos. I told my husband if I had more money I would have bought the whole tray they had there. :) We had a fun time there.

Better go, my bed is calling me. :)

My Plumeria Plant

I had a few people tell me that they had a hard time looking at the other picture I posted, so here is a better one. You don't have to tilt your head to see it. Hope this ones better :) And it's grown more leaves since the last time I posted the first picture. I cant wait till it grows flowers. I am so tempted to just plant it in the ground. But I bet I would get in trouble since it's an apt and they probably would take it out. :( They say it grows better in the ground so one day when I have a house I will have them everywhere! My co-worker gave me the plant so she would be so proud if she could see it. I haven't killed it, J! :) Hehee! Not yet that is.

Peace and Quiet

I'm at home alone and enjoying the nice weather. It's so quiet. I love it. I got to leave work early today since I worked a little late last night for a community event. Love my job! Oh, and the coolest thing at my job is that we actually are asked to take time off. I have never ever worked at a place that makes you take time off. Isn't that AWESOME? I've been at places that snare at you for taking time when you are sick. Like I said before, I love my job! So I am making dinner so it will be ready when my husband and son get home. And thought I might type a little something here before they get home. I also will be working on my little project that is almost done. Cant wait to see the finish project. Anyhow, not much to talk about. So I will keep it short this time. Later.....

My Edible Arrangement

Here is a picture of the fruit basket and the balloon. Sorry it's kind of blurry. And that is my cubicle where I work. Isn't it nice? Those are my Elvis magnets in the background. I love Elvis!

Here is a closer look at the yummy fruits I got. I even shared some with my co-workers. It was so beautiful I didn't want to eat it but it looked so yummy so I had to dig in. Loved it! Thanks baby. :)

Happy Anniversary!

Today is my 11th yr Dating Anniversary with my husband. We met at Cal State Fullerton in the library on this day, 11 years ago. Wow, that sounds like ancient times. After that day, we have been inseparable. Well, we have gone through lots of stuff and I mean LOTS of STUFF. I have gone through thick and thin with him. I have really watched him grow into a man and I am so proud of him. When I first met him, he was just a little stuck up jock that thought the world revolved around him. And yes I still stayed with him. I guess it was fate. I had lots of patience and I believed that he was more than just a basketball jock. It took me many years to mold him into the man he is now. Well, God helped too. I had to get hurt many times and fight for him but at the end, I have this great man in my life. He is all that I ever wanted and more. He satisfies all my needs. I am so lucky to have him as my husband. I love you babe!

So today I got a phone call from the front desk telling me I had a package. She asked me if it was my birthday and I said no and thought what could it be. FYI, I have never gotten anything delivered to me at work. So I thought it might be a mistake. I walked down there and saw it was one of those Edible Arrangements and it had a balloon that said. "Happy Anniversary". It was beautiful! I will post a picture up when I get a chance. I was in shock and so happy at the same time. I would have never thought my husband would do something like this. He has never done anything like that in the 11 yrs we've been together. He really got me this time. Thank you for the wonderful fruit basket and I love you so much!

My husband has really grown into a great man. He has changed so much and I cant ask for anything more. I am just so happy. Happy Anniversary Baby!

Foot in the Mouth

I did something really stupid on Monday at work and regret it tremendously. If you know me, then you know that I am a very sensitive person. I sometimes take things way too personal and let things get to me. I have a hard time distinguishing between jokes, dry humor, sarcasm, and being serious. I guess it has a lot to do with my growing up. I was always talked down to and belittled so when I hear things that are negative about me or anything negative at all, I tend to believe it. At my last job, my old supervisor would never tell me I did anything good, but when I made a mistake, she then would give it to me. I have had times where people had to tell me they were joking so I wouldn't take it the wrong way. I guess you can say I am naive but not stupid. I might do stupid things but it doesn't make me stupid. But if it's about me or a friendship with someone, then I am going to take it serious. What happened was that I took something that someone said to me in the wrong way and was hurt by it. The stupid thing I did was I vented it out on my work email which I should know better because we have been told not to do so but I was just so upset and not thinking that I just typed up something fast and sent it. Thinking nothing about it and then to find out I sent it to the person I was venting about. Well, you can say it's Karma but in a way it was a lesson learned in my part because I am never doing that again. I need to start being more assertive and approach people and let them know how I feel. This will be very hard for me to do but I have to do it. It is a growing process. I hardly got any sleep last night because I was thinking about it all night. I couldn't eat dinner because I was sick to my stomach. The reason why I felt like this was because I truly felt hurt about what was said and it was someone I thought very highly of and thought was a close friend of mine. I guess misunderstandings can be hurtful but I just wish I wasn't so darn sensitive. I always wished I could be like those people who just don't give a damn about what anyone said or thought about them. I think they are so cool. So I decided last night I was going to approach her and talk to her about it. 

So today was the most awkward day. Even more then my first day at work. I felt as if I was going to get a call telling me to pack up my things and leave. I have never felt so scared and terrified before at work. I really thought that today was going to be my last day and I was going to get fired for not being professional at work. I am so glad I went to talk to her about it because we got to share our feelings and worked things out. But even though we did talked, I still feel like I messed up a friendship and the bond between us will never be the same. I only wish I could take it all back and I do it differently, but it's too late. The damage is done and I just hope that she can find it in her heart to forgive me and give me another chance. 

I'm Melting!

I cant stand this heat! I'm dying here. Is is Summer already because it sure feels and looks like it. People are already at the pool laying out and swimming. I am not ready for the summer. I still have winter clothes in my closest.

We went to Knot's Berry Farm yesterday and that was a BIG mistake because it was so HOT and there was like TONS of people. We stayed for about 4 hours and I was seriously dehydrated. We then went to Pat and Oscar's and I think I drank more than eat. If it is this hot already then I bet the Summer is going to be a killer. I might have to move up North to cool off. I love the cold. I have to say I am loving my AC right now! I feel for the people who don't have AC. Poor you! I feel for you.

Anyhow, I'm home alone enjoying the AC and have nothing to do. I guess I could work on my knitting project. Kinda hungry so I think I will fix me something to eat. TTFN!

Like Music?

I was browsing and found this new blog so I added it in my favorites. Check this blog out:  http://earpleaser.blogspot.com/ .If you like music then you might like it. I loved it because I love all kinds of music. Check it out and let me know what you think. I love how he has this play list thing. I wish I could add that on to my blog but I cant figure out how he did it. If you anyone knows how to add a music play list on your blog can you please leave me a message on how to. Thanks! 

Hallelujah!

God is amazing! So my husband has been in debt forever (not really, but it feels like it) and has his last credit card bill which is over $6000. We have been saving and saving and praying and praying that the company would settle with an amount we could pay off. Well, they wouldn't do it and last month we got a knock on the door and my husband got served a summon. AHHHHHH! We were so scared. I had never seen that happened before. So I started to panic and of course freaked out. But then I realized God was in control of this. So my husband and I kept praying over it. My husband knew someone who was a lawyer so we got some legal advice and help from him. Let me tell you, he is an Angel sent from God because he must have battled it on with that agencies lawyer. He got them to settle for $4400! Hallelujah!!! Praise the Lord! Since my husband does basketball coaching and training, he happened to get paid today and paid it in full! Now that is no accident. That is all God's doing and He is awesome. Today, my husband is debt free! That just sounds so good. It is such a relief and the greatest feeling. Now we can have a fresh new start. I am so happy and feel so blessed. Thank you God!!!!

I am exhausted!

I had a community event for work at 7am today so my husband had to take time off from work to take my son to school. Thanks honey! :) I was so happy I got there on time because I was so worried I was going to get lost (which I usually do even with my GPS system), or traffic which is never predictable. Only thing that really sucked was that no one else was there on time. I think our agency was the only one that was there early and ready by 7:30am like they wanted. So my partner and I sat there for an hour just talking because there was nothing else to do. And to top it off, I was thinking since we had to be there early that they would have coffee or something for us but I was wrong. BUT we did get a nice snack bag with a bottle of water, an orange, and a granola bar which came in handy. Oh, and they even had a farmer's market there with mango (LOVE IT), boysenberries, apples, and oranges. What's funny is that we never know how many people are going to be at these events so it's really hard for us to know how much stuff to bring. Well, we got cleaned out today. I have never ever had an event where I got cleaned out. Seriously, they brought loads of people in a school bus and they came on a schedule so it was one after another. I think there must have been at least 200 families there. Isn't that crazy! Well, I am glad because we got the chance to tell these families about our agency and they seemed very happy to hear about our services. It was just a very long day. At least I got to leave work early and now I can rest at home. I think I will go to bed early. :)

Not sure on why this picture wont let me rotate it. Sorry about that. 

OK I know this plumeria plant looks pathetic BUT it's not dead! I have had about 8 of these plants and killed them all!!! And this is the only one I have had for over 6 months and it's growing. SO it is the most beautiful plant I have ever had. It has leaves. Next I'm hoping I get flowers this summer. This is my very last one I have so it cant die. It just cant. I just don't have a green thumb. Whatever that means! I cant keep plants alive. I just pray this one keeps alive long enough to give me flowers. I will keep you posted. 

Yeah! I dont have to cook dinner!

My husband brought home dinner tonight from Boston Market! :) I love that! I don't have to cook. Woo Hoo!

OMG! My husband just dropped the news that he is going to meet up with one of the trainers for the LA Galaxy! Ahhhhh! My supervisor is going to scream when she finds out. She is totally in love with him. I told my husband to get whatever he can get his hands on that has David Beckham on it. Hehee :)

TTFN!

Monday, Monday

I'm trying out this video download from blogger. It's cool but it takes way too long! It took me an hour to down load this video. That is ridiculous.

Here is a video of my son in his Musical Theatre class.

What a nice day

Wow, the weather today was just perfect. What a beautiful day. Yesterday was kind of yucky but I loved the cold. We went out and saw a movie at the dollar movie theatre. We saw the Spiderwick Chronicles and it was pretty good. There were some parts of the movie that were a little scary for my son but over all it was a pretty good one. I even cried in the end. We then went out to eat with my parents at Hometown Buffet. They are having this special where kids eat for only $1.99 Monday through Sat for dinner only. It was so crowded there with kids. It was crazy. The food there is not gourmet but it is good and it's cheap. It's only good if you are very hungry though because it wouldn't be worth it if you to a buffet and just eat a little. 

Today we went to church and then came home and we are just resting. My mom came by and took my son to the park. So I have some quiet time to myself before my husband gets home. Oh, speak of the devil....he is home. And now my son is home too. Quiet time is over for me. What was that? 5 minutes of alone time? That's all I get. Oh well, I better go. 

Disappointed in McDonald's

So the parent teacher conference went very well. My son's teacher said that his behavior has improved and he is doing great in his class. I was so happy to hear that he was not acting up anymore in class. His reading has improved too. So looks like he is starting to grow up. 

Since my son had a good week I took him to McDonald's. I am really upset at the costumer service there. Why is it so hard to make a hamburger with only ketchup? I got the the hamburger with the sticker that even states ketchup only but when my son opened it up because he will not eat mustard or onions, he said this is not ketchup only. So I took it back to the manager and he gave me a new one with ketchup only. Why couldn't they just have done it correctly the first time? This happens way too many times. There should be a hot line to call to make these complaints because I'm sure there would be a lot of them. I love their food but they need to work on their costumer service. 

OMG! My neighbor has this baby that does not ever stop crying. Before they had the baby, they had this BIG dog that barked all day long. Then we found out she was pregnant and we just knew it would not be fun because we knew that they would just let the baby cry like they do with the dog. And we were right. I don't know what they are doing over there to this baby but I swore she cries like she is hurt or just neglected and left alone. She does this squealing scream that just drives me crazy like the chalkboard crash. I want to call the police sometimes because they let her cry like that for hours and I don't know how they can just ignore that. Isn't that like child abuse? It just doesn't seem right. That's why I don't want anymore children because I don't want to hear them cry. I hate it! Our neighbor are not very friendly people either. We hear them banging and hitting things all the time. When we see them outside, they seem upset all the time. So I don't think they are very happy. 

SAT

Can you believe that my son is taking the SAT's in first grade? I am so nervous for him. They are taking it all week. And if he doesn't pass I think they don't get to pass to the next grade. Now I am really scared for my son. I know he is smart and all but he has a listening problem and most of the SAT is listening and answering questions. I just pray he does well. He comes home every day telling me it was easy which makes me even more scared. I use to hate taking the SAT, ACT, or any of those test. I have a parent teacher conference tomorrow at lunch so I will find out how he did on the test this week.

Feed Up!

So my son started the day off with an attitude with me and thinks he can get away with it. He apparently thinks that he can get away with things with me and never ever attempts the things he does to me to my husband. He first snapped his tongue at me when I told him he couldn't take something to school. I don't know if you know what that means but its when you snap your tongue and it makes a very annoying noise that makes a mother want to slap their child across the face. Then he didn't finish his breakfast and goes to throw it away in the trash. I made him sit back down and finish every last drop of his breakfast and then told him off. I got a wooden spoon and slapped his hands for snapping at me. He was in shock when I did that and he grabbed me and said he was sorry. Can you believe that? Who does he think he is. He must have thought he was grown and paid some bills around here or something. Anyways, so after that incident, he was all sweet and nice to me. Why do they have to test us?? I just don't understand them.

So I got my friend at work sick and she had to leave work early today. :( I feel so bad. I stayed home for a week and didn't go back until all my antibiotics was done so I don't know how I gave it to her. I feel really awful about it. She really looked sick today. I hope she gets better tonight and doesn't get any worse.

Oh, I don't know if I told you about the end results of my husband's sleep problem. So he went to that lab where he slept there for two nights and they found out that he did have a slight condition of sleep apnea and now they will be sending him this machine he has to wear at night to sleep. Now this machine is suppose to help him sleep better without snoring but my husband says it does make a humming noise. So what is better......snoring or humming???? Neither one! How does this help me? It doesn't! I was hoping that he would just take something and it would stop the noise but no now I will have to sleep to humming. I cant win! But lately I have to say I haven't heard him snore that much so I don't know if maybe he is getting better sleep or what but it hasn't been that bad where I had to kick him out of the bed. :)

TTFN!

Same Old Stuff

Today went by really fast for me. Work was the same old stuff. Came home and cooked and had dinner ready, waiting for my husband and my son. We ate early and then my son went outside to play for awhile. My husband is doing his usual business stuff on the computer and I am playing around on itunes. Other than that, the day is almost over and nothing really happened today. Oh, I am almost finished with my knitting project I'm doing. I will put a picture up of my first scarf. I am so proud! :) I never thought I would like knitting but I have to say it is very soothing. I love the end result because I get to wear my finished product! :) I will also take a picture of this project when I am done and post it up. Later.......

Still Sick!

I cannot believe I haven't shaken this cold off yet! I really just want to be better already. I had a really hard time getting up this morning. This heat is killing me. This weekend we left the AC on all weekend and never turned it off. Ahhh, that was nice! We never do that so I'm sure our electric bill will be higher than usual. Thank God for AC. Well, just finished dinner and I think I will be off to bed early tonight. 

So sick of being sick!

Well the reason why I haven't been writing is because I have been sick with Strep. I don't think I have ever been this sick before. I had a temperature of 102.9 and I felt like crap! The doctor was really worried about my tempt and wanted to give me a shot of antibiotics right there and then but luckily I was allergic to penicillin so I got away! I hate shots. And my son was there with me so I can have him seeing me cry like a baby. But I was so happy when I got my drugs. I am just now finally starting to feel a little back to normal. I mean that I can actually function and have a conversation with someone. My voice was gone completely and I couldn't even breathe because I was so congested. I wouldn't curse this on anyone because it was a bad, really bad disease. The doctor says it's going around so I just hope my family doesn't get it. I have been staying in my room and I kicked my husband out so he has been sleeping on the couch so they wont get it. Poor baby. He got to sleep on the bed last night and he was out cold by 9pm and that is not normal for him. I still am feeling weak but just glad I am not stuck in bed anymore. I hate just laying in bed and doing nothing. I would rather be at work. Isn't that sick? But it's true. I cant just do nothing. It drives me crazy. I went back to work today and I was happy to go back. It was hard to talk on the phone because I kept coughing but at least there wasn't that many calls today. I am praying that tomorrow will be the same. TTFN!

Mount Baldy

Here we are at Mount Baldy during Spring Break. We had a blast up there with our friends! 

Spring Cleaning

Today was Spring cleaning for us. All we did was clean the house today and I am so glad that Spring only comes once a year! I hate cleaning if you don't know by now. Thank goodness my husband was here to help me because I would have passed out from all the dust we had in this little apartment. I cant believe how much dust collects in here. Anyhow, it now smells like Mr Clean in here and hope it lasts for awhile because I don't want to have to do this anytime soon. 

My son went to a birthday party with my parents so my husband and I get to spend some quality time now. Gotta go!

Knott's Berry Farm

Haven't had a chance to get on to write for a couple of days. Our Spring break has been fun so far. Saturday was a packed day because we had to go to my son's musical theatre class, then we went to the Easter Egg hunt at our church, and after we went to Mount Baldy and got to see snow with our friends. I will put a picture up of all of us at the top of Mount Baldy next time. We had so much fun! Especially my son because he got to through snow balls at me and in my pants. We then went back to our friends house for a BBQ. What a day! :) On Sunday we went to church and then spent some time at my parents. We had lunch there and then left for Knot's. We purchased annual passes since my son did well last week at school and it's something me and him can do during the week we have off. Monday we spent the day at Knot's and it was so much fun. My husband met us after he got off work so he got a chance to ride some rides with our son. Then today, my son and I got to spend a couple of hours at Knot's and here is a picture of him by the water fall at Mystery Lodge. 

I cant believe my vacation is almost over. :( Time has flew by too quickly. I should have taken off the whole week now that I think about it now because the days just go by too fast. Oh well, I will make tomorrow, my last day of vacation, the best day ever. Don't have a clue on what I'm gonna do yet.

YEAH I'M ON VACATION!

I am on vacation starting right now! :) I am so excited. I think we might get annual passes to Knot's Berry Farm this weekend so that way I can take my son next week since he is on spring break. We live right across from there so it is so convenient. Tonight is my son's school open house so that is where I will be. My husband will be missing out because he will be working tonight. I get to find out from my son's teacher how he has been doing and I get to meet his 2nd grade teacher. Anyways, I will let you know the scoop tomorrow. He came home with an "orange" today. :( One more day and hopefully he gets "red" tomorrow so we can have a nice weekend without any grounding!!! I am so excited and look forward to doing something besides being grounded and stuck at home all weekend. Till tomorrow.........TTFN :)

Don't feel much like talking tonight

Well, I really don't feel like talking tonight because I am really exhausted. I didn't sleep well last night because I missed my husband too much. So I was up half the night tossing and turning instead of sleeping like a baby. And to top it off, I had a really rough day at work. I was on the phone for most of the day and now I have a massive headache from it. I don't even have the energy to type so I am leaving you with a picture of me in Rosarito Beach, Mexico riding a horse for the very first time. Don't I look terrified? I was! And you don't even know the story behind this picture. I will have to tell you some other time what happened to me while riding this horse in Mexico.
