You are bothered but I feel fiiiiiiiine!!!

Someone wrote me today and said: “Your blog is confusing” (you - please no drama because I posted, ok?)

Now I ask: You… yeah – you – do you feel my blog is confusing????

I just want to vent here a lil because this is actually funny to me! I mean – I do NOT want to sound rude/mean at all or anything like that, but I barely have time to seat in front of the computer to blog. I do my best!!!
 I wish I could make it organized and pretty… but oh well!
This is a free site host that let me just write down things that being going on in our lives and I’m satisfied with that. If I need to remember something we did, or last time the kids got sick I can just do a lil search and that is the purpose of it: for me to keep record of things that are important to me!!!

I love that people come by, read about what I think it’s cool, and write me e-mails and we talk about it… I really love it! I love when people leave comments…  but man! If you are gonna criticize AT LEAST give me an idea of what I can do to improve!!!

Anyways… it doesn’t really matter… because it’s the end of the world and

I FEEEEEL FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!

Watch this video… I love this song… I love this video - it doesn”t get out of my head today…

No wonder I have so many wrinkles…

It’s because I laught too much!!! =)

Benjamin sat in the sofa this evening, held the remote control straight up to the TV and started changing channels, just about a minute later he said:

-         Mom, I can’t find “Golft” (Golf) on TV. Can you find for me?

-         What do you mean Golft ? I asked.

He did a nice simulation of a swing with both arms and said:

-         Like this mom, Golft… that we play!

-         Oooohh!!! You want to watch GOLF on TV?? - pause - Are you sure???? I asked surprised.

He said yes mean while I flipped channels until we found “Golft” and he just sat there for a pretty good amount of time, watching, swinging his arms every once in a while and making personal comments to every play “Oh no, he missed! Did you see that mom?” or “WOW, Nice shot”

VERY lost in translation here

Go ahead - laught at me… I did!

The message was: “Bob Huggins just beat Duke”

I wrote: “Bob Hoggins just bit duck”

So much to sew, so little time…

This turn out to me will turn out to be a very lame post… 

This past week flew by and I had NO extra time. I haven’t sew this much in years – but I’m really into these days. Fixing things is what I being doing but I looking into getting my sewing machine set up downstairs so I can just do bigger projects!

I found this today – it so fits perfect for me right now: 

 

 

I’m also all about labeling! LOL

I got a label machine and BAAAM! Get too close and you’ll get a label! =) I love to organize and this label machine… man! It’s just part of me (as if that made any sense anyways…)

Last week Marie took us out to lunch the Tin Duck – I was really pleased with my veggie burger – it wasn’t a veggie burger but a portabella mushroom burger – lots of roasted vegetables served with fries and coleslaw. Thanks Marie! =)

I can’t wait to have her for lunch this week; I got to find something I can cook that will turn out ok! She is so good at these things and that intimidates me heheh.

Easter:
Was REALLY nice. We had a good time at Francis house for lunch, she cooked some very yummie food and it was cozy and relaxed. Then we had dinner at Cindy’s – and the kids had an egg hunt – they build a bear to take home and had all kinds of fun….   The only bad thing is that I eat like an elephant. Now I feel sick!

News that I may have mentioned before – I can’t remember but a few weeks back we went to visit with Roma – she had back surgery but seems to be doing well.
Also Priscilla is pregnant!!! =) How exciting! =) Congratis Prica!!! =)

Si Regis gave a nice big bag with hand me downs that will fit both boys, shoes… we are all set until fall, and if that wasn’t a blessing – Angela got me a couple brand new pants an a bunch of hand-me-downs from her as well!!! She looses weight and I win a closet! =) yeahhh!  She has some REALLY cute clothes – I’m loving it!

God bless you girls!

How cool is that???

We had a Philips surround sound system, maybe a couple of years old. It started malfunctioning but it was still under the warranty – so we called it up just to get it fixed and guess what????

We just got a brand new DVD player/ SS System WAAAAAY cooler and better than our old one, all we had to do it’s pay to ship it back to Philips and they sent us the new one that costs like twice as much as the price we paid originally! It is pretty cool looking, it has an i-Pod dock and all the cool things we did and did not expect!!! =)

an old post

I finally got around and got some time to blog. It’s being pretty crazy since I got back from Brasil. Elan was visiting, loads and loads of laundry and a whole lot of bunch of things to catch up with.

My last few days in Brasil I was in Sao Paulo at tia Ro & tio Paulo’s house. They TOTALLY spoiled me! It made much harder to come back home – it’s SO nice to be treated like a princess!
Tia Ro paid for all kinds off little treats, nails, pedicure, wax, all kinds of yummy snacks but my favorite was a 90 minutes full body massage *just AWESOME* – only a few hours before my flight!
Man! Life is good! =)
I know my mom and dad wouldn’t treat me like that if I lived in Brasil, but man! All I being thinking about lately is what can I do to move back! LOL

The flight back home was very smooth! I was so impressed how well the kids did the whole trip! They both slept most of the flight and even I got to have a few minutes of shut eye!
We got back home to all that snow you saw in the pictures a few days ago… It was nice because it melted very fast! So we got to enjoy the snow but also didn’t have it long enough to get sick of it! =)
Anyways, we are REALLY happy to be with daddy again! We all missed him SO bad! =)

Past Saturday Mike went with Dan to take Elan to Clmbs airport and I hanged out with Kristen. I had this major asthma attack – I have NOT had anything like that in YEARS! It was really scary! So this Monday I rushed out to the Doc to get an emergency inhaler (my was expired) and get my lungs working again! Especially if I have any intention of working out… I’ll totally need it!
We suspect it was just a “shock” from the 85 to the 25 degrees change… It may be allergies too and we’ll find that out soon – if it comes again!
I had a lot to drink that night, but I always drink wine and that NEVER bothered me before… I also had eggs and milk… but again; even thou these are very trigging foods they never bothered me before… still – our bodies change… and I’m getting older!

Huge WHOLE in my wallet – the inhaler alone (doe’s NOT have a generic version) costs 70 bucks!!! All the money I made last week doing studies is gone *sniff * sniff* =(

Oh yeah - I alsmot forgot:
HAPPY SAINT PAT’S DAY!!!

Kids meal - parents fun

 For the first time i got a toys on the kids meal that I enjoyed more then the kids…
 it’s a little racket, ball and net to play ping-pong! Elan & i opened the table in the kitchen and played for hours…  fun fun !


 
 Bad pic - I know - my camera is still broken =(

“Sleep Posting”

You know how some people “sleep walk”? I think I did this post “Sleep posting”! LOL
I don’t remember doing it!!! Have no idea how it got there!!!
-Hey , youuuuuuuu are you playing with me? Do you have my password???????? hu! LOL

Anyways… I’m fixing it today 03/17… adding a little more pics and doing a little labeling!
My pisctures came out VERY BAD - I’m gealing with some trouble with my camera… hopefully it’ll be fized soon… I counted on friends to get me pics!  Benji’s birthday party at KHT (I really like this place for parties!)
 Benji still trying to wake up! With his HUGE cake (Yeap I ordered wrong! Good thing it was from Sweet Temptetions - Dairy/Peanut free) After we froze part of it it tasted even better!) * Noah & Dani

  

   
 Kids eating cake… it was SO yummie! * Mommy & Benji (He was just NOT in the mood for pics! He wanted to play play play!
   
 Girls just want to have fun!!! =) Sorry K & D - if you click on the pic you can see yourself! =(
  
 And later keeping on having fun - at home! =)
 

Unpacking

Unpacking out stuff - a week later…
I had probably about 7 loads of laundry to do! The whole house smells like fabric softener!

I brought quite a few things this time, Benjamin had a bunch of gifts from his birthday…

These mugs were free everytime you got Nescafe, they are the perfect size so I broght them along…

And my cousin got this cute picture for Benji… the color are so perfect in his room!

Tia Ro made this beautiful mosaic picture frame

I came home with 5 new par of shoes, and this flip flops are my favorite!!!


Benji & Noah got a bunch of cool books in portugues, my fav is:

he also got a cool Puzzle Bible in portuguese and “O menino maluquinho” - that was a classical book from my childhood

So this is what we came home for…

Me in font of our house…
The same bench…  * fronto door
  
 Our front door before and after
   
 The backyard
 

We are back home!

It was a nice smooth flight back home – the boys were incredibly good. (Thank God for such a calm trip)

I have a stuffed up nose and a sinus headache…

Coming from an 85 to a 30 degrees weather can bit anyone I guess.

It was extremely hard to leave this time; I don’t think I ever felt that before, at least not that strong! It’ been hard on me.

But the vacation is over….
I have a ton of pics to post – a huge pile of cloth to wash… and 3 bags to unpack I’m not sure where to start… I also need to start looking for a house, we need to move in less then 60 days… man – this is crazy!

This Sunday is Benjamin’s birthday party (if you haven’t gotta an invitation on line, please contact me!) and I need to finish that as well.

Good thing that Elan is visiting, he’s being spending all kids of time with the kids and that helps me a lot…

Also the boys miss the whole crazi ness attention thing. so they are happy to have Elan & daddy.

Man! I need to speak lots of Portuguese with the kids, they are doing great and I want to keep it up!

Blahhh – my head is somewhere else… I can’t quite function right… not sure what

is going on with me. Hopefully it’s just a “ time changing” thing and I’ll feel better soon.
