I feel like everyone has being sick, we miss Claudia a whole lot more than we expected; we are trying to get back in track with our lives!
Let me try to catch up with everything that has happened since I last wrote in here.
12/24- Saturday - Christmas Eve was a very nice time even thou we got the news that Tia Connie had passed away that morning! We cancel with most of our friends but still we had a good group of people! ~ Dan & I, Benjamin, Claudia, & Steve, Tim, Beth Ann & Jonathan, Mike, Andrea, Tati & Perry, Monica, John Paul, Priscilla & Jeff stopped by, as well as The Ponds.
We had Mike G. dressed up as Santa and the kids, I believe really enjoyed! Specially Logan & Monica! We all exchanged just a few little gifts and played games after all.
Everyone left about 3 Pm but still we didn’t get any sleep until later that morning because Benjamin was having a hard time, Sunday we found out at the Dr.’s office that he had a ear infection! I would much rather take him daily to the Chiro and let his body get over it but with the holidays, funeral and the wedding coming up we thought he needed some help faster.
12/25 – Sunday – Christmas! We went to house in the afternoon. I meet Steve’s kids for the first time ~ they seem to be alright. That night Mike and Andrea took Claudia with them and did a huge favor of taking her to the airport, because Monday morning Benjamin wasn’t feeling good yet. I already cried hours, I miss her.
12/26 – Monday ~ I basically got the house organized, Nicole (King) came by to watch Benjamin and Michele helped me a lots too. Very nice (and Mercy work as well) My house had never being in such a bad shape like that day and Tuesday after the funeral everyone was coming over. Mara came by and brought us some goodies and stayed with Benjamin so I got a nice, big and long much needed shower! Nicole, (Eddie’s Nicole) was looooooots of help! Oh dear! I don’t think we went to bed until around 3PM and next morning we were up at 7 to get ready for the church! Amy also brought us a pumpkin roll (mmm)!
12/27 – Tuesday – The Funeral day ~ After the funeral almost everyone came over and there was a TON of food, they stayed for a while and after all we went to Kohl’s with Nicole to get her shoes for the wedding! Later that day I started to feel so sick, I got a bad bad bad FLU and only God knows how sick I felt!
Much better today 12/30 – I’m back to work, even thou I wasn’t supposed to work today, but after taking so many days off, nothing more fair! Elan has to help Lilly with the kids and Kip is sick so I left Benjamin at Nicole’s (the Brazilian one) house for the day.
Everything seems to be fine in , I talked to mom yesterday and they are all counting the days until Claudia goes back home. And we can’t wait until we go down there again.
I’ll stop here for now; (lots to do and always needing to rest) Thanking God for all the blessings and protection we get daily and don’t even know…
Oh x-mas tree, oh x-mas tree
Benjamin was really sick, kept me busy and preoccupied. Feels like he is doing better now… We got some homeopathic medicine yesterday and it has helped some!
Claudia is sick as well, and I’m not 100%! I hope at least Claudia is better before she travels, or I’ll be worried!
Marie’s Husby got a bad flu; Talked to Daniela and her & the kids are also having a hard time! The winter it’s only starting! =oP
I helped Priscilla with her x-mas tree for a little while yesterday! We were all the way to the top of the ladder and still wasn’t enough to reach the top! I think I helped a little since I’m taller, it was fun! We also had lunch together yesterday @ Ruby Tuesday (Claudia too) and went shopping for a minute!
Dan had a broken tooth so he had to go to the dentist… and I’ll be going right after New Year!
Benjamin got another tooth as well and that was a hard one! He is DEFENELY walking, for a long distance, no hands or anything! Last night he even tried turning to a different direction and that is almost working!
Dan and I talked about having another baby and I’m not sure I/ ready! Benjamin is so dependable still but at the same time I know how much he loves other kids! ~ Hard subject!
He stayed at Nicole’s house the other day for a trial, lots of fever, lots of crying but I think he’ll get used to it with time. Next week he’ll stay at Daniela for a couple of days and at Nicole in Tuesday! I think I was a little hard on him since he had never seeing her before!
Hey, good news! I’ll have a couple days off that I wasn’t expecting which is a good thing! Life goes on and I have to fight over this black cloud that keeps on following me around!
We got all the kids gifts for x-mas, there’s only one more that I need to take care of! This can be very stressful! Now I really don’t want to stress out Saturday, whatever happens happens! We’ll all be happy! =)
Tati, Perry and Monica should be in Cinci by now.

Benjamin is 10 mos. today! =)
I crack myself up when I go back and read what I wrote! There’s sooo many typos and misspelling! *LOL* If anything else you can probably get a few laughs with this blog!
I know Dan wants to be able to read what I write but I really should blog in Portuguese heh.
Lots of news today, I haven’t stopped here for a while!* Benjamin repeats everything we say – I still can figure it out if that’s good or back - J
* Stephanie had Autumn! She was 6#s & some ounces – Lots of hair it’s what I heard!
* I got a raise! Isn’t that awesome? And a nice x-mas bonus!
* We are like 99.9% sure Dan will get Em’s position – AWESOME! Dan is such a smart guy and good employee, I’m happy for him – I hope this is what he wants to do!
*We got reservations to the Hotel what mean we’ll be attending Melissa’s Wedding!
* I think we found a nice, easy accesses (haha this sounds funny) and reliable baby-sitter. This coming Tuesday will be our first day – Let see how that works out!
* Claudia got this AWESOME opportunity! She is going to Aspen – Colorado and Disney World for 15 days with this Brazilian family! – Yes she’ll be working, babysitting their kids but they are also paying her reeeeeeeeally good and getting a separate bedroom and paying her meals! Also they are flying her to Miami to meet with them! What a blessing! I hope she has lots of fun! It’s going to be unforgettable – I bet!
* Patty won’t have surgery! I’m not so sure this is good news, but I believe that God knows what is best for her! She’s being fighting this cancer for 3 years and I do believe she is going to win!
This week I have a ton of things to do – there’s so much going on! =oP Eye Dr, Dentist, Chiropractor, Benji’s Dr. Claudia and I were out and about, we had a lot of fun yesterday – At least I think so, we just spent all day together and I enjoyed a bunch – it’ll only make harder when she leaves!
And I don’t know what it up to this but lately God has given me a little more power on my ”self-control” on the eating subject! ~I hope and pray it keeps that way, because I feel good about it, not hungry!
No inspiration to write here today
I’m almost done with Christmas cards – Finally! They should be going in the mail soon…
I’m getting more and more nervous about Claudia leaving – Benjamin is now so so attached to her as well – he TOTALLY knows her; and if that wasn’t enough Mara is also leaving me ~ No comments!
I can’t wait for Tati to get here so I won’t feel so lonely!
Stephanie went in labor today – I’m not sure how things are coming along but I’m sure it’s well or we would have heard something. I think she may have her baby by now.
Getting ready for Christmas Eve now will be more stressful because I’ll be working WAY more then what I would desire! Patty may be having surgery too and it’ll be between Marie and I to cover both offices ~ I’m nervous!
Good thing - it was a close game but the Bengals won last Sunday. We had lots of snow last Thursday; I even got to go home earlier! J
Dan went to work last Saturday night at the HC and when he got back home he woke me up about 3 am with a gift…. This beautiful dress, so pretty! I was so surprised! It’s gorgeous, I can’t believe he got it so right this time! My dad wouldn’t buy something that beautiful for my mom after almost 30 years of marriage!
I feel for Dan with his problems at work – lots of decisions to make and just so much over his shoulder, I feel so helpless…
I think I’m way too down; I need to do something for myself!Benjamin has got another tooth and it’s like a Parrot now, everything you say he tries to repeat LOL ~ it’s so funny!
He got a x-mas gift and so cute, I tried to show him that if he opened that was a toy in there and he takes that paper off, looks at the box for a few seconds, turns around and go play with something else! Too cute!!
Snow ~ Bad internet connection ~ Drama, drama, drama…
It’s snowing out there, pretty good, maybe an inch or so ~ it got the roads pretty covered!
Today is being so stressful – I already woke up in the middle of this massive discussion about kids being sick, this and that. Everyone with their own dramas, anxieties and everyone were bad mouthing each other. Somehow I can understand both sides and at the same time I don’t… I mean of course everyone wants to defend their own, but Oh my word – people can be mean! It scares me…
But I truly felt bad for Claudia this morning – poor girl working so hard to try to save up a few dollars and ended up in the middle of such a hard situation! ~ I better be good friends to all of them! LOL!
Anyways… we went to visit Roma yesterday and it wasn’t so bad, we all had a good time and Benjamin really liked her. He’s being so hard on us since we got back – He’s got too spoiled, I need to work on him… Even his walking got worst because all he wants is to be held!
Mom said since now she knows Dan it is way harder to be far away – she really misses him – and all of us. She’ll be seeing Claudia soon, but that is something that I can’t think about it yet – I’ll have too much time to suffer so I better not start early.
The internet sucks today here at work so I better post this soon before I have a “Cannot find server” again (rrrr).
What is it out there that I can’t see it!
Oh God, please open my eyes!!
I guess I’ll have time to stop by and write a few words since Patty didn’t like my idea for a “Manual” – oh well! Too bad! Ehheh
I’m counting down the days – in a bad way - Claudia will leave soon and I’m getting so desperate and lost. I already feel like a piece of me is gone. I know she has her life to take care of and I’m happy for her and her opportunities I just wish we could be closer… like body close speaking – because I know it doesn’t matter how far we are from each other we are still close but I’ll miss talking to her everyday and looking at her every morning…The game is almost over and the Bengals are winning so far, they are so good this year – I’m so happy! Can you imagine if they make to the Super bowl? Dan will have a heart attack! Especially if he can’t go! He would sell the house or go bankrupt but would not miss the Bengals game in a super bowl! LOL
Benjamin is getting cuter and cuter (did I just make this word up? Cuter? Much more Cute? Hehehe) He is at Mara’s house today while Dan watches the game and I work, after all we’ll stop by for dinner… I can’t believe Mara is considering to move – I’m so sad about that, Claudia, Her… everyone is leaving me. It also would be so cool if Benjamin could stay with her…
I’m counting on Tati, I can watch Monica like 3 days a week and she’ll watch Benjamin! Because I don’t trust anyone else! It’s crazy, I know but I don’t! I don’t feel comfortable, I can’t concentrate if he is with someone that I don’t trust!
Tomorrow we are going to see Roma and that should be interesting hahah… she’s being asking for so long that I decided to agree.
By the way, if you are reading this blog you must be a friend, so I would like to let you know that on the 24th, x-mas eve we’ll be having dinner at our place – for all those that can’t be with their families or those that just don’t want to see theirs! Very relaxing, no gifts, no dress up! This will be about fun and the true meaning of x-mas. Jesus was born and we’ll celebrate our lives with the ones we love and care about it. Family time, most of all! Please RSVP with me. Also I wouldn’t mind if you want to bring a dish because I’m not a very good cook! And besides I don’t want to cook all day long, I want to have fun too. Please bring the kids (I don’t think they would appreciate to stay by themselves anyways), pets and your favorite game. As well your toothbrush in case you decide to spend the night, after all the least thing everyone needs to smell is your bad breath on x-mas morning! =oP
A nice breakfast will be served @, whenever we get around it…
Tomorrow we should be putting our x-mas tree up and a few decorations… No gift like I said but I’ll wrap a few things to seat under the tree!
And this week hopefully I’ll get to my x-mas cards! =) Benjamin’s pictures are in and it’s about time to pop those cards in the mail anyways…
Also – I being having great ideas for a business, I wish I had a sponsor, or money, or whatever… I feel so up to doing something on my own! Always thinking ~ Still thinking!
I feel so ready! I wish someone would invest on me! I have so much to give! Maybe I should start doing it to my family – Dan and Benjamin. How knows, maybe that’s what God wants from me that’s why He haven’t opened other opportunities for me.
Still thinking!
Was it Thanksgiving or Haloween???
Ah =oP We just got back from and a bunch of horrible news hit us:
1. Cindy Lucky wasn’t so Luck ~ she passed away, only 53 years old she was feeling some pain on her eyes and the Drs. Found 2 aneurisms on her brain, the first surgery was great and during the second one she had a stroke and other complications that caused her to be brain dead, so her family decided to turn off her life support!
2. Marie’s mom is at the hospital; she can’t breathe very well and has some sort of swollen on her body.
3. Patty hasn’t being feeling very well, even after the radiation what freaks me out.
4. Justin was stranggled by Benny’s Step Father while his mom was babysitting the kids so Beth and Benny could work. Thank God little Justin is fine, I feel so bad for that little boy, he is only 1 yr old and has being thru so much. As a result Beth is moving back to her mom’s house in Jersey and Benny may be going too. I have no words to describe what I felt when I heard this. ~ No comments!
Besides all that there are always other things, like Claudia is leaving very very soon and not talking about how much we are going to miss her, the mission of finding someone we trust to watch Benjamin while I work has started and it’s just very stressful.
But Benjamin is cutter everyday and he brings to much happiness to our lives that I only pray that God gives us health and wisdom to raise His little miracle!
I’m starting a new project Dan suggested what will give me plenty to do at work ~ So since I’m somewhat busy now I may not have too much time to stop by here, blog (oh yeah, right! Hahaha). It’s being so dead and this is the only web site I can accesses from work so Dan talked about making a “Sales Assistant Manual”. I never had anything to guide me and I think it’s a pretty good idea. Besides it should be good for my “status” w/ the company.I’ll let you know how it turns out!
Have a great weekend!

I't official - my baby can walk
“Anything you can do Benjamin can do better…” Yes he can ! Yes he can!
He waves bye-bye, he took 5 steps in a row, feeds himself, he does “so big” & clap his hands!

Back from Brazil - what a trip!
Brazil was awesome, even thou I’m exhausted I would do it again! My parents and Dan got along very well ~ we had a great time, Busy Busy, but great!
- Wednesday We left home about 4 Am to CVG Airport, went to Miami for a 4 hours layover – after that we flied to Sao Paulo, got in the Airport about Midnight, and my Grandma was there with Aunt Sandra, Pedro, Ariela and my Aunt Marisa. ~Dan almost went to jail for not paying a box of matches $0.30 – very funny! We hanged out there that night
- Thursday Our plane to Curitiba was very late so we didn’t get there until like 10 am, got home so tired, we had lunch and slept for the rest of the day. Mom was waiting for us with a key lime pie; she cooked lunch and dinner ~ very good! It’s so nice to see mom and dad, I miss them so bad. At night Gabriel, Julio & Andrea came to visit with us, he is just about Benjamin’s size but doing other stuff, Benji almost walk, claps and does “so big” while Gaby waves bye-bye and it’s like very hyper and biting everyone. I think he learned too because since he’s being biting everyone and everything.
- Friday The time changing got up to our brains – we can’t sleep until 2 am then next day we can’t wake up until Noon! So again we didn’t do anything, but we had people over later that day. We met Nicolas – sooo cute and sweet – Thiago and Dan had lots of Fun trying to communicate, I think! Hehheeh And Katia – of course looks great!
We took Dan to Wal-Mart, to “Barriga” Mall and just a quick drive to the park – It’s being rainy for two days now, which has kept us home as well the guests.
- Saturday We woke up at Noon again and went for a hair cut, I had my nails done as well my wax… it feels great. =)
For lunch we went to BATEL GRILL for churrasco– it was very delicious, and we had to rush back home to see Wanda that was waiting with most of her family to see Dan, after they left we barely had time to get dressed for church – it was really nice! “Daniel’s God is the Best”~Amen.
For dinner Dan tried Brazilian style Pizza, with Catupiry… About 11 pm Erika, Paulo, Ariane and Carol came over, we talked until about 3 am, it was very nice to see them! Oh how much I miss my friends!
- Sunday A supposed quick stop at Tia Sueli’s house became lunch; we had a homemade Churrasco, Ana was there and it was very nice to see her… The food was good and it was a very nice time. Dad stopped by for us to see the lot we are thinking about investing on and after that we drove to Sao Paulo – to Tia Sandra’s house; didn’t get there until 10 pm. In the way we saw a fire going up to the forest… It was a great time driving with my parents, like in the “old times”, brought me back a lot of memories.
Dan was anxious to hear the score and the Bengals made us proud again! They are going great – Actually they are first in their division! ~ Claudia went to the game instead of Dan and she said the game was good & a lot of rain too.
- Monday Tio Luiz made Feijoada! Hmm – it was very good and we had dinner at Tia Rosangela’s house – Tio Paulo cooked my favorite Eggplant rice – it sounds gross but it’s delicious! The Boys and Dan got a long very well. I had a blast watching them! Speaking in English and playing, I think Dan left there with a Migraine. Mom and Dad left ~ it’s already getting sad… It’s getting harder and harder to leave them the first couple of times.
- Tuesday Dan took a Metro ride with us to Tatuape Mall, also we went for a tour at my Grandma’s old house and stopped by Tio Carlo’s Pharmacy. I went to church in Bras with Grandma and Tia Marisa, but we got there almost at the end but it was worth it. Basically everyone came to the airport to say bye. Gigio was also there, he was coming to Miami to work.
- Wednesday We are back home, I believe we all had a great time – resuming our trip it was very delicious and a lot of people – that was basic it! Meeting people and eating their food eheh. Benjamin was great at all the times and I got the opportunity to see my dear family that I miss so much again. Dan thinks I have a BIG FAT GREEK BRAZILLIAN FAMILY! J And guess what? He is right! And I love them!
Hopefully next time Dan will get to see more of ! ~Pictures to come soon right here.

Right back where we started from
Blah! Just found out that one of my favorite songs is the “OC” theme song =oP * i don’t like it anymore… whatever
Yesterday Friday we went to Steph’s baby shower and I thought it was a lot of fun - we all had a good time and the food was awesome… we got her a box of diapers, a photo album (That I made and I was so proud of it - it looked so good), some scrapbooking stuff as well all sorts of baby bath products. I hope she liked it!
It’s Saturday - we only have like 3 days before we leave to Brazil - I can’t BELIEVE it! -This is soo exciting! =) ~ I think we are all going to have a great time and just hope we are all healthy and that the “stress” of the trip don’t knock us over =oP
Dan’s birthday is Tuesday so tonite we are going to have a tinny dinner for him - he don’t want to Celebrate, all he wants is “Cabage rolls” - Your wish is an order Mr. - I asked your mom hahah
He got Madden 2006 for his b-day - pretty cool, I don’t know what to get him - I’ll wait until we get back and see…
it’s funny when I ready my posts and find all kinds of typos… when I’m writing I can’t notice them! =oP
Benjamin has a runny nose - we keep trying to catch it but it’s not happening… I just pray that he doesn’t get sick before we go to Br.
He has that walking toy now so it’s too cool to watch him walking all over the place - he did so good at Patty’s house yesterday - He’s such a good boy!
I got a hair cut yesterday - I really like it! - and tomorrow is Claudia’s turn - then we’ll try to convince Dan on having one too… HARD JOB!
Oh - I just saw this think about Amy Jones and GOSH this thing is CRAZY… I’m kind of.. hmm what is the word - disturbed by all this BS that happened to her… wow, strong woman.
Counting the minutes, I’ll get to go home in 9…

The past weekend
was a very busy but relaxing weekend…
I had 3 days off - it was awesome - Friday Claudia and I had people over - this brazilian girl came Gisele, it was a lot of fun! And Amy and Mara stayed for lunch and we had a pretty plesent evening, Priscilla came over as well and we were all talking and working on the “wedding Day Survival Kit” for Melissa - her shower was Sunday and that was ok - I saw most of our family what is good; we got her a nice gift and I hope she enjoyed the one I made myself… It’s hard to read her, hard to tell!
Saturday I went to church with Claudia - later we went shopping and to do groceries and meet Melissa and Rufino (quick deal but nice time…)
Lots of family time; we had lunch at this new Mexican place - AWESOME food for so cheap! Wow… seriously! =)

Busy Bee
It's being so crazy for me and really for all of us - *Benjamin - Dan - House - Work # 1 - Work # 2 - and Myself! But it's being good!*
All thou I'm still taking a couple of days off to rest - if not my body will crush!
The Party yesterday was good - much better then what could have being - still we alsways expect more deep down - but besides sales it was great!
And Today's event went much better than I expected! I'm getting good on talking to groups of people - I being trying hard to get my english clear and talking slow! =oP
Benjamin is more beautiful everyday - doing a couple steps from here to there - in no time this boy will be walking! Stading on his own and adventuring himself thru the place. Up and dpwn the steps and open and closing things....
Oh yeah and BTW - Happy Birthday Mike!!!! =))

BOO!
Oh God • it’s a heck of a week!
Andrea is home with Benjamin • he is “Much more cuter” everyday!.
I had to drive Claudia all the way out in the Country • in the mean time Andrea had a Flat Tire • which is not a big deal but it was kind of funny • I’m such a dump that I stopped in the wrong side of the highway so • there it was Andrea crossing back and forth in the middle of the highway! Gosh! It’ was hilarious now that I think about it!
I don’t feel so good of my stomach • it’s kind of yuck for a few days now…
And Beth had a car hack yesterday • basically lost her car! What a mess…
It’s October the witches are out there Booooo! J
And I’m here bored to death! Wishing I could be home with Benjamin! Oh dear!
I’ll get Melissa’s shower gift this week • I’m not looking forward to this party but at the same time I feel like I should try to get involved with Dan’s family. I really don’t think they care anyways… - whatever!
Tomorrow we have training for work • that should be fun and after they are treating us for lunch at BRAVOS • not looking forward to again!
This weather is killing me • all I want to do is to eat and sleep! Blaaaah! • I should be excited about going to Brazil but I’m not! I think Dan is going to give a hard time • I can feel it • he has being so mad lately! Everything I do pist him off all the time! • I think is very tired. Still • I’m tired too!
Good news? The dears are out • they are so cute! The trees are beautiful and it’s a nice cold day • Good for hot chocolate or soup…
Or chili! Hmmm • I’m gonna go get some….

It was good - it was bad
My Party was a lot of fun - there's another one coming up next Sunday - it was good
The Bengals lost - it was bad
We'll be leaving in less then a month - this is good
Claudia will be here by herself - this is bad
It's getting dark so fast now - it scares me to be here by myself when it's dark - Hoping that the SPA will call me soon - I'm so ready for a change and this job will be a goo start.
Dan was a very good help this past weekend - I can't complain! Melissa and Rufino spent the nite and I CALLED - yes people - I CALLED Frances to watch Benjamin for me! She did! It was pretty cool! I asked her "Could you come to watch him for me between 12 and 2?" She came at 12 and left at 10 PM - But still was really good! =)
Can't wait until Tati moves here - that should be fun!
Thursday I'm counting on Andrea - Friday on Daniela - Saturday on Frances - Sunday on Mara *** I NEED A BABY SITTER! =oP - No! I need to be home with my son! That's it!
We went grocerie yesterday and also got Mike's Birthday gifft yesterday - I hope he likes it.
I still haven't being shopped - I think they don't care about me anyways...

WOW - HAHAHA - WOW
HAHAHA FACS got evacuated because someone smashed CEREAL!!!! and droped about 5 bags around the building! That's what happens when you hire a bunch of kids! The good part of it is that Dan got to be home around 3 Pm – We loved it!
I went to the Doc - she was talking about me having something like MS - it kind o scared me! I’m having a MRI done and some other tests done this week. Anyways - Let's see, let's pray!
All I wish is to see my son grow up – be there for him – teach him, all thou I’m not very good at teaching hehehe..
Nobody taught Benji how to - but now when he gets mad he just trough himself back - with all his straights and MAD! Or if he is playing with a toy s and gets frustrated he just shake his legs like - MAD! It’s so funny - at the same time - its sooo bad! He needs to learn how to behave! And I’m so bad at this… I like to let him do whatever he wants to =oP
Benjamin in the other hand is such a good WOW! He's defenely growing fast - he is now sitting by himself! Like sitting down – not crying anymore - he just starts to bend down very very slow and tries to touch the floor… it’s so cute!
Today at the grocery store there’s this other mom with her (probably same age as Benji) baby, every aisle Benji smile at the baby – and was always looking forward to going to the next aisle to see the baby again! It was soo cool to see how smart he is! He was like – almost like breaking his neck to see the baby! He loves kids! We need cousins (not siblings) hehe Benji’s cousins are all so far away, they aren’t part of our lives – it’s SAD!
Oh, now I'll go to sleep - so tired! Just waist 1 hour of my life - TV!

Skyline, children's day, Benjamin, massage, nice time with Dan...
I need to thank God – I needed money – He provided me more hours at work – even thou it sucks to be here with NOTHING to do I better be here then in some other job! I think my “Mystery Shopper” will come today!
Just found out that Steph is going to the Sales Training – good for her – Brave girl!
Yesterday was my day office, I had a nice massage… =)
We saw Daniela and the kids – it was such a nice time! We celebrated “Children’s Day” (in Brazil) at Skyline.
So cute, Benjamin was sitting in the high chair and grabbed a cracker that felt out of my plate and ate it!
Then later last night Dan and I laugh so hard at Frances’s costs… She left a message on our phone like she saw us everyday and was our “best friend”, maybe because she is at Lilly’s house she wants to impress someone, Lilly or Elan, or maybe who knows she really misses us AHAHAHAH
“Hello Dan and Lilian and Everyone else – It’s Frances and I’m calling because I miss you so much! I’m ok, I made safe here, everyone here is ok – I hope everything is ok with you there and give my "pumpkin” (hahaha) Benjamin a kiss from Grandma, miss you, love you!”
Sorry…
Anyways – I think it’s so stupid to write this blog but it’s one of the few web sites I can log in from work – so I guess it’s ok to spend my time doing this… It’s completely dead here today - there’s not even a FLY to play with me.
Actually – someone just walked in – I’ll be back!

It’s being a few days since I stopped here…
Benjamin’s got a HUGE tooth in the top of his month! It’s looking so cute – Pictures to come…
We had a awesome morning - he was making faces and wanted to cuddle - Oh… he melts my heart!
We took him to the Renascence Festival yesterday – it was so cold!
Saturday we went to church and it was really nice – I had a blast – it’s being a long time since I had such a nice time. Maybe the fact that there’s no “cloud” around everyone anymore it turns out to be quite a fun time!
Melissa and Rufino came over yesterday and that was nice too – I hope they had a good time because we did! =)
Frances went to visit Lilly – hopefully they will get their stuff resolved, I may be wrong but I think they weren’t talk for a while.
I’m starting with all my projects for x-mas and stuff – Just found out that one of the girls here at work got fired so I’ll have more hours what’s good because we need the money bad– HOWEVER I have so many things to take care of! Feels like I’m going to have a hard time getting all taking care of!
Anyways… The Bengals lost yesterday – it was close but they were loosing bad most during the game =oP
-No comments! * Let me get back to work!

Oh Sweet loves o' mine!
He's got a smile that it seems to me, reminds me of childhood memories where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see his face, He takes me away to that special place and if I'd stare too long I'd probably break down and cry
He's got eyes of the bluest skies As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain
His hair reminds me of a warm safe place where as a child I'd hide
and pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by!
Oh, Sweet child o' mine, Oh Sweet love o' mine!

What a week!
Thank God is almost over - Benjamin and Dan sick - Dan and I not talking!
We were all going thru a hard time! I'm so happy we are over this! Yesterday was a glorious day when everything got back in track almost by itself! It was amazing and sooo relaxing! I hope we get to have a nice weekend after this!
The Bengals play in Sunday and they are doing so good... I hope they keep up with the good work!
The renascence festival is going on too- and that's always fun (to me) expensive thou... Maybe I’ll take Claudia since she never being there. I’ll tell Mara too (We are talking again • she apologized, I did too)
Benjamin - yesterday held his bottle all by himself! Like we say in Portuguese "When the water touches your Butt you’ll get up!" He was hungry - no one was there... He did it!
He is doing so well - I can believe how blessed we are with this child! He is all about touching… I think he likes the feeling of his hands touching someone else’s skin! It’s so nice to receive his love. Beautiful boy • that I have so much love for.
I want for the three of us to have so much fun • to have a fun life! What matter the material things you have? Guess what? A Hurricane, a tornado… whatever can take EVERYTHING you have in one second! But not the love you have for people. I want to enjoy every second of my marriage, every second of my son. I love my dear guys so much!
I need to tell Dan about this Blog • I always forget! I’ll e-mail him.
I think the lap top will make our lives easier • as well not having a second TV (Dan broke it yesterday • as well our wall)
Weight Management? Whatever • One day I’ll take care of that! I think I may be pregnant again (witch it doesn’t mean BABY right the way • because I have the “bad” history) but somewhat concerns me… we’ll know in about a week! It really feels like because I being feeling so horny lately each happened during Benjamin’s pregnancy. All thou every time I look at Dan I want it anyways…It may be so critical because we haven’t talk for a couple days… What ever God wants • it’s fine! 2, 3 10 Kids • As long as He gives me wisdom to raise them by His word.
Went to the Dr today • working on my machine!
Note: Dan
I love you,
Lica

Domingao!
I cannot believe how smart Benjamin is - I think it's just a "mom" thing.
I can't get over how much is has grown!
Now he's taking out the circles on his toys - he can't put it back yet but still... that huge! (For me!)
I can tell in a blink of an eye we'll be 20 and I'll be old! =oP
My weight? No comments! =oP
Anyways – Some people are coming over today to watch the game – I haven’t clean the house or anything… I’m so bit up!
Benjamin has his first cold and can’t sleep well – it’s being 4 days now! I feel so bad for him, it’s so sad; his little nose has a rash! (It that how you spell rash?! Oh well!)
Claudia is camping (again) and I’m happy she is – it’s her only fun time!
I got to go - Benji is up!

Benjamin is cute!! what about me?? Hmmm not so sure!
Benjamin is the cutest! *Now he eats like an adult – chewing, chewing… almost never chokes anymore.
He hold things really good – crawling of course is not a problem! Standing up w/ any kind of support! But last night for the first time he sat down by himself!
I think he’s saying “Dada” now too – I’m not sure, can’t imagine such a little guy talking – but twice after Dan left the room he screams “DADAAAA” – And MAD! It’s too cute! =)
And as of 8/30 he has a girlfriend - Ava - He was so gentle and delicate with her - So cool!
He brings so much happiness to my life! Ohh yea! My life… talking about it!
Besides using this blog to register Benjamin's development also want to keep track of my weight loss journey! (Yes, I’ll call a journey – It won’t be easy!)
I decided that I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and DO something about it!
I'm always blaming in USA - "AMERICA MAKES YOU FAT” All thou I do believe that I changed a lots after I moved here –
Here’s our life:
1. Winter is like ½ of the time – So you sit down in front of the TV to watch sports OR whatever show we can’t miss an episode! (Survivor is on at this time). Eat, eat and eat – that’s the fun we have!
2. Summer – ice cream, ice cream, ice cream – Cookout, cookout, cookout – Eat, eat and eat again! All summer long! Dan fix my plates like he does his and guess what? I eat it all!
“Eating and drinking and hoping and sleeping… Eating and drinking – and after you do – You will be Faaaat, you’ll be faaaaat” Do you like my version??? Haha
3. Fun – Friends. I miss my real friends from Brazil! They were so cool; we always had so much fun! Here, most of my so called friends are Dan’s friends – they barely know my name. Our family – we barely see. And the few friends I have, either are single woman – so they don’t want to hang out with Dan and I; or they are way older then us – so is boring! =oP
4. In many ways you cannot be kind of people – you can be “loving” – I used to consider myself very caring and loving – always concerned about my family/friends and about anyone around me…But here, in USA anything you do is “Sexual harassment” – or you are a SLUT! So – I was tired to be “misunderstood” by everyone that really didn’t know me. And I believe that this was the first change I done to mess up myself! To make me the bitter person I’m today!
In Brazil we are all about hugs and kisses – touch has healing power!! I love to care, kiss & to hug! You can never do this here!
Now - it doesn’t matter what people will say – I just hope Dan will support my “change” – or my “back to normal” change. I’ll love, kiss & hug, (Maybe a little less touching then the Brazilian way- witch is not a sexual thing, at all) – I’ll do as a loving and caring person I KNOW I’AM! It may sound crazy – but maybe I’m crazy!
Anyways – Besides wanting to love others again, and loose my bitterness I also want to loose weight – as I mentioned like 10 sentences ago - Today I’m 190 pounds! (How depressing) I mean HOW Encouraging! I’ll get there! 154 #s – that’s my goal! I done YMCA CSC for 30 minutes last Tuesday – Tomorrow I’m going again. I’m so sore! =) It’s kind of funny hehe! I’ll do it – You’ll see!
A couple things came to my mind:
“I’ll get by, I’ll survive…!” – GD
“I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” – (Amen) Philippians 4:13
He hold things really good – crawling of course is not a problem! Standing up w/ any kind of support! But last night for the first time he sat down by himself!
I think he’s saying “Dada” now too – I’m not sure, can’t imagine such a little guy talking – but twice after Dan left the room he screams “DADAAAA” – And MAD! It’s too cute! =)

(How depressing) I mean HOW Encouraging! I’ll get there! 154 #s – that’s my goal! I done YMCA CSC for 30 minutes last Tuesday – Tomorrow I’m going again. I’m so sore! =) It’s kind of funny hehe! I’ll do it – You’ll see!
A couple things came to my mind:
“I’ll get by, I’ll survive…!” – GD
“I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” – (Amen) Philippians 4:13
Everyday is something new! - It’s NOT all about me!
I think a blog will be a good way to keep track of Benjamin’s development! Everyday is something new!
As well with me Lica - my home - my family - my business and everything to do with me!
Dan’s NY stuff is over - Sometime in September will be 3 years that I being praying DAILY for this blessing! Thank you Jesus! =)
Benjamin, Mama loves you very much! ~He’s having the hardest time to sit down - he can get up anywhere then he cries….
I need to work with having more patient and wisdom to care for him and his needs!
Working on that!
