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

Song: “How does it feel???... How does it feel??? To be on your own • with no direction home”

Action: ZZZZZZZ

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!

Posting photos


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
