40 days Challenge Update
So it's being 30 days since I decided to take the Challenge from Dr. Pete and I must say it has being fun! (well - not the weight part of it)
So far I had 2 visits - The boys had a few more; 3 total, but I'm very comfortable with due to the situations! They even had become advocates and don't want me to drive to fast food not even just for an ice cream! Ben said "Remember mom? Its not healthy? IT's actually bad for you? We can just go to UDF instead" and that day we settled for fruit Popsicles.
Noah still asks often – at least 2 times a week if we can “peease mommy go to Wendy's and have a cheesebuger” it feels like he craves it! Benjamin does just fine. I tried making veggie burger at home, they eat them fine. It's being a very radical but awesome change for my family and I'm SO happy we finally took this step! =)
I'm please with the results!
On the weight – weeelll I haven't seeing much change there yet! My goal was 6 pounds in the 6 wks and all I got so far was 4 and I seem to be pretty stuck where I'm. I do not have motivation to exercise and still – even I'm not eating fast food I do eat way more than I should. Perhaps once this 40 days are over a new goal will be in place and that will be more affective to change my weight; but this far even with no big change I'm still glad my first goal it's being met this far! =)

No laughing matter – or gas
I had a dentist appointment today and yeah – he wouldn't give me the gas today – that made me mad!
“no – it's a smaoulll – smaoulll you kno?” (heavy Indian accent)
SMALL???? so why was I numb all the way up to my ears and even lost part of my vision on my left eye for 7 long freaking hours?
Now that it's over my mouth its so sore! I feel like he raped my gums!
So after today's appointment I'm convinced that my dentist is a butcher! Never going back there! That is for sure!

A note to self
For no good reason or without any explanation I feel like all the sudden I felt into this “unreal” life mode. Where I'm living waiting for something that is impossible to happen. ~Did that make any sense?
Like all the sudden I feel as if I'm living on a fairy tale and I'm waiting on the “big moment” to arrive and to the happy end.
Hey – don't take me wrong here, I'm happy and satisfied with life, it's just like I'm wondering and imagining all day this “parallel” story of life – or path or whatever you may wanna call it.
It's like I'm living as if I'm a 15 yrs old again full of dreams and wonders.
HELOOOOO! =P
Wake up girl - your life real, berry berry real and there's no fairy tale here! Miracles are happening daily and you are keeping your eyes shut for it!
~Snap out!~
Get back to real life because let me tell girly – ITS REAL! =) and it's good!
Anyways – that is all I wanted to say....

What happens after we die?
I'm wondering what people believe what happens after death.
No, I'm not confused, I'm strong on my faith and what I believe I just want to have an idea on what people believe.
What do you believe? Do you go straight to heaven or hell? Does your soul sleep until Jesus returns? Your soul will reincarnate? That is it you died its over? You have your own theory?
Share with me what do you believe it will happen!
It's not a discussion group - no one its gonna judge you and if a comment question your believe I will delete it, so feel free to let it out! All I want to know its YOUR believe!

Got chocolate skin?
For the past month Noah has being making his hair wet - mainly on his bangs - and when I finally approached him and asked him why he told me that it was because he didn't like "vanilla" hair - and when it was wet his hair was black!
So this morning Noah was in the bathroom for a long time so I decided to check - you just never know with him...
He was standing on the top of the toilet seat with the lid closed looking at himself in the mirror, changing positions, bringing his legs towards the back one at the time from his body - that made a shadow on the mirror and he said
"Mom, look at my leg in the mirror, it's chocolate"
I said: "That is right Noah! It is chocolate - Do you like the color chocolate?" Because at this point I knew he was talking about the color itself! HE is NOT a sweet kind of guy, you can't ever bribe him with candy or chocolate - so this was a color conversation
He answered anxious and exciting: "YES! I wish my face was chocolate like Isaac's (our friend) - I looove the chocolate - it's the bestests color!"
Well Noah, I agree! Colorless is so pale! - Chocolate it's my favorite color too!!! =)))

Things that make me mad/smile
I was laying in bed trying to go to sleep and my brain was just going a thousand miles an hour, I couldn't relax with all things coming to my mind that I wanted to write about it; so I get up and come down here to the computer and my mind goes blank.
I mean TOTALLY 110% BLANK and I cannot remember one thing, not one little tinny thing! This is the kind of shit that drives me insane! =oP
So here goes a little conversations I had with Ben weeks ago and had posted on "draft"
Benji asks: "Does Jesus has powers like God?"
Me - yes, remember Jesus is God's son!
B: "I knew it!" - he got quiet for a minute and he said: If He has power is He EVER gonna make spring and summer again?

Now THIS is the REAL meaning of EASTER!
In Brasil we have big chocolate eggs on Easter - that is pretty much it, no candy or stuffed animals or any other toys - just CHOCOLATE EGGS! And that is one of the few things we miss like crazy on Easter.( I miss this one awesome cake too called Colomba Pascal)
The chocolate eggs come in all sizes and of course we always look for the biig ones, as tall as 40 inches! They have all different themes and come stuffed with truffles, bonbons or even toy sometimes...
Every year we get a taste of it because we either were in Brasil until carnaval or mom sends it to us but this year we were thinking it wasn't gonna happen until today! =) Tia Vera sent some with Tati for both kids! =) Can I say they had a blast?
Celebrating life
I got this orchid last year, the day my dad died. The flowers lasted 3 mos; the longest I ever had an orchid to stay flowered after it bloomed. Since December this same plant has a tinny little sprout and I was thinking it wouldn't ever come out, it kind of just froze in that stage.
Today I noticed that is actually is growing, it even has 2 leafs!
In 3 weeks it will be 1 year since my dad died. One year since I got that flower, and here after 1 year of being "dormant" new its coming from it.
I bet we'll have a flower on May 3rd. A flower not to remember his death but a flower to celebrate his life!
Dad was a happy man. Satisfied with the blessings that came his way. Always wished for little and would undress himself to give it to others in need.
Little but amazing times he had with my kids and wonderful memories we have.
Memories we need to celebrate and keep alive in the boys memories. That they may learn to live content like Vovo Celso was. Happy and kind.
I have a feeling I may need some good company this weekend in order to stay positive. I miss my father and all the goodness he always brought around. He would be so upset to see me sad, still I'm sure he understands how much I miss him and how much I wish he was around. He would tell me to stop and be strong. For him, for me, for the boys!
But all I ever wanted was to make him proud! So for that I will smile!
I stand on the promise that soon we will be together again.

April Fusca Day! =)
Ben keeps "getting" Noah on april fools day so finally Noah says back at him:
"We are not going to a park we are going to the dentist and you are gonna have surgery! - Hahahahah April FUSCA day"
Now let me say - what a harsh joke for a 3 year old to come up with!! And the "Fusca" was just hilarious!
FYI - Fusca is how they called the old WV Beatle in Brasil! Is that kid funny or what?
