Good > Bad
A couple things that made me feel BAD this week:
* Yesterday I had to call Dani and let her know I couldn’t watch her kids – when after all it really would not be a problem – I was just overreacting! She is just always there for me and it felt so bad to call out on her with such a short notice.
Also canceled out on Simone in less then a hour to our plans - and again - that just makes me feel like crap! Maybe beucase I hate when people do that to me and/or just because I really care about them…
* Today I missed the actual “birth” of my friend M’s baby; by a couple of hours. I absolutely overreacted again, got extremely overwhelmed and messed up. This really upset me, I am *SO* disappointed but I’m gonna get over it.
Especially because it was about a birth, something that I’m very obsessed about it.
* Now - this is no “bad” but I’m bummed that I haven’t got a time that works for the both of us to take Shay to the new place yet! Let’s try this week girl!
But it makes good to talk about the GOOD, so let’s do it:
* Angela got me excited about the new house, I actually got so see some potential after we walked around getting some ideas and even painted one of the walls. Angela is such a strong woman who has an awesome life story that amazes me! She is always cheering me up, giving me some of the greatest advices, and spreading her positivism all around!
* I’m actually overall happy I got to go to the hospital with M, I’m happy for them that they had a healthy baby girl, 7 lbs, no name yet! I’m so proud of her for doing it pain medication free and very honor that she called and wanted for me to go! =) I did what I could and I just need to remember that!!! I can’t wait to see this baby girl!!
* Our friend Kevin is in town! =) We haven’t seeing him in a while so I’m very excited to get together! Dan is out with him tonite – tomorrow we are heading out of down for the day but Sunday we’ll be back for more! Kevin is the very few of Dan’s friend that had become “my” friend too, when and he first moved to Cali it was sad! - (still is). I’m glad to have a chance to see him and for the boys to once again play with uncle Kev.
* Daia turned 22, we had a great time at her party and met some very fun people
* I just realize more and more each day how much I love my 3 boys, how much they love each other, how much we are DOEOs and DOGs and that get us so close and tight as a strong and happy family. When I look back and see how much we being trough together all I can do is thank God.
I’m addicted to them! My love it’s like Dari said “Unquenchable”.

So - we are moving and I'm going NUTS!
So, let tell ya, I’m freaking out. It’s freaking 3 in the morning, I being awake to whole night even though I had a exhausting day and my body it’s tired.
I’m so overwhelmed with the moving. Good thing I lost my contact lenses because my glasses king of hide my swollen eyes from crying for 3 days. I didn’t want to post here because my mom reads this blog, but what the heck? I just won’t do this part of this post in Portuguese, that is all.
The new house is ok, there are good and bad things, and that is ALWAYS gonna happen if you compare something, and I know no place it’s perfect. I love the location, it’s just the best place to be (specially with gas prices so high, we’ll be in the middle of everything) Mason has great schools in case we decided not to homeschool, at the same time the kids will not have nearly as much freedom as they have here, they can play in the front and back yard so freely because it’s a calm neighborhood, no traffic expect people that leaves here and drive slow… and man – there’s so much space and so many friends.
I love love love our neighbors, I feel like I’m among family here, Ben has so many friends, Noah has friends… Dan – Me! Good friends. – so close!
I never thought I was even gonna say this but I’m AFRAID of making new friends at this new place – I’m afraid I’m not gonna like it, I’m not gonna be nice… I’m not gonna be ok.
I trust God, I trust His plans – I REALLY do, and I’m sure we are gonna be fine, we are still gonna be happy, a family full of love, but as off right now I’m hyperventilating!!!!
The new house has many positive things; it has more bedrooms, more bathrooms, the basement it’s nicer, and it’s a great price!!! What can beat that? The owner was so nice, he did everything we asked, the backyard fence, he even got as a box of BAKALAV!!! ( I now it’s because the market it’s horrible) but still!!!
And all I can think of it’s the “bad thing” the downs… what we are loosing, what is missing…
I literally gained 10 pounds this past 2 week – TEN POUNDS! My face has more zits than a teenager; I can’t sleep – I being a negative and petty person and that just feel like I’m out of my skin! This is not who I’m.
I always look at the good things, at the blessings!!! Always turn out to the positive.
I being looking for comfort where there’s not! I eat, and eat and eat. I want to sleep all day, Iw ant me time, go out and find a job, or go back to school… Here I being such a disconnected mother to my boys this past couple of days and here I’m thinking of having another baby – for MY comfort only – how selfish!!!
And why am I so angry at God right now? I have NO reason for it.
If I know He has a plane, He is with us on this as He has given us confirmations – daily,. And we are healthy, happy (ykwim), we have everything we need and way more… and we have NO reason to complain! I know He is with me but I the same time I feel as He let me know – and I dare myself so say something like that!!!
I want my mom! I want my mom to hold me! To tell me everything it’s gonna be ok!!!
I’m done complaining. It’s 5 am and I’m getting so tired… the boys will be up soon, and I’ll have a long day….

Entao,
Nos vamos mudar, ne? Ja assinamos a papelada e se Deus quiser em julho nos mudamos. Eu estou uma pilha de nervos. O bairro eh bom, mas eu nao estou bem. So nao consigo ficar em paz com essa casa.
A casa eh o mesmo tamnho da nossa casa agora, mas em diferente distribuicao, entao nossos moveis mesmo nao vao caber la. Muitas diferencas, coisas boas e coisas ruins… mas eh claro que agora eu so consigo concentrar nas ruins.!
Eu sei que Deus tem um plano, e que eh o melhor para nos, mas mesmo assim estou “triste” com os planos d’Ele. Eu quero ficar em paz e confiar no Senhor. Nao temos NENHUMA motivo para reclamar. Temos saude, amor - uma familia perfeita! E eu me sinto muito mal de reclamar… pois sou muito abencoada e ao memso tempo estou super pra baixo com isso tudo.
O dono tem sido um amor, mandou colocar a grade no jardim como pedimos, ate comprou uma caixa de bakalavas para nos! Acredita? Sei que o Mercado esta ruim mas mesmo assim… ele tem sido muito joia desde o comeco!
Foi tudo muito rapido e muitas mudancas… eu estou super anciosa e nervosa… estou totalmente desconectada da minha familia, dos meninos e do Dan. So quero comer, dorimir… nao consigo me concentrar em nada!
Manheeeeeeeee – eu quero colooo!!!!

I’m very sad *tears*
Isaac spent the night over last night again - I think it’s like his 3rd or 4th time and he and Benji do it very well. But defenetely that’s NOT why I’m sad…
They are sleeping upstairs while I sit here in this quiet room and all I can here is the storm (NICE!) outside and all I can think it’ how much I’ll miss this place…
Yeap! Our house is going on the market and I’m very upset.
I love this neighborhood - I love our neighboors and the friends we made here! Many in just these 3 years became like family to us! I love our kitchen, our deck, Everything about this place! Benji runs around - he knows all the kid’s houses, where is Logan, Brailon, Isabella, Nathan, Calvin, Audry…
Ahh this is going to be so hard for me! -For all of us! I really think it’ll be VERY hard to find such a nice street like the one we are now… but if this is what will take for me to be home with the boys - we’ll do!
=] My yellow smile
