New Year

So here it is... 2012! Another new year is on us. 2011 flew by so fast. Hopefully, 2012 is a good year. Not really believe in 12/21/12... but we'll see as my husband does believe 2012 will bring many earth changes... but I refuse to believe that and I'm going to live 2012 the best I can.

I'm actually glad Christmas is over too... now, I can breathe and things are coming back to normal. Kids return to school on the 3rd. I'm still unemployed and with a POS of a car. I want to work and earn my own money and with that I would be able to get a brand new car of my choice... not to mention to help pay some bills around the house and not leave all this weight on my husband. The only thing is finding that "perfect" job that will give me the opportunity to work in their company after 11 years of not being in the work world. I think, it's time to find a job and work while my kids are in school.

Well, on December 29th, my oldest turned 11 years old... can't believe how big he is now and soon he will be a teenager! Kids grow so fast and too quick. Then, my youngest one will be 8 years old in June 12th... sigh!

Not much to write. Going to watch "Drugs Inc" on National Geographic... very interesting show. Love it!

Well, hope whoever stops here and read this blog had a great New Year's Eve celebration and wishing you the best in 2012.

Rainbow pancakes

Well, today I decided to make these "rainbow" pancakes for my kiddos this morning which ended up in a big success. I try to make breakfast fun at times and this was a great idea.

Another tooth out

Finally, today my 6y/o lost his upper right central tooth. Now, this was a problem because his permanent tooth was coming out but since his baby tooth was still there, it was coming out behind his baby tooth. Big relief that he pulled his tooth out by himself because I was going to take him to the dentist so that he could take that tooth out. I don't know if that tooth is going to be straighten by itself or if my poor boy will need braces? My oldest had a crooked tooth but now it's all straight... hopefully this is the same for my 6y/o.

In another note, I can't believe we're in June already! Time flies! My baby will be turning 7 on June 12th... he told me he wants me to bake him a chocolate cake and to get him balloons. With the balloons, I'm thinking in getting him 7 helium balloons... one that says happy birthday and 6 normal balloons (dark and light green because that's his favorite color). I can't wait for his birthday. I love to celebrate my kids' birthdays.

Also, on the 28th, my mom told me there's going to be a mass dedicated for my aunt Margarita that's going to be 1 year since she passed away from pancreatic cancer. I so hope I'm able to attend because it's going to be like a family reunion. My cousins are coming and one of them I haven't seen her in years that I would like to see her again... when I was in high school, she was the one that I hang out with and we did a lot of bad things LOL... aaah memories. Bad part is that I'm noticing that my car is starting to heat up again and that's very very bad... I'm actually afraid if it heats up again when I'm making line to cross over to the US. Bummer! Wish I have a new car :(.

Can a Saturday be quite boring?

My answer to that question is... YES! I'm bored out of my mind right now that I'm beginning to feel S-L-E-E-P-Y!... but, no time to take a nap. I'm not used to take naps during the day and I know once I lay on the bed or sofa I won't go to sleep.

Well, earlier wasn't a boring day. The kids and I had a blast having a water balloon fight... we all got soaked... but damn!... my finger hurts because I tied a lot of water balloons LOL. Fun times! But now, I'm bored to death!

Even my writing is boring LOL.

Last day of Winter Vacation

Tomorrow, school resumes. Winter vacation is over... and I don't know to either be happy or sad. My hubby is returning to work on Tuesday the 4th. Seth does want to return to school but Joel doesn't. I hope Joel doesn't start saying his stomach is hurting in the morning because that's usually what he does when he's back to school after any vacation. Hopefully, everything goes well tomorrow.

Well, it's 8:39pm... Sunday night... and it's freakin' cold!! Fireplace is on but still I'm here in the kitchen writing this on my computer. I'm thinking in going to bed early as I have to get up early tomorrow to make breakfast and get the kids ready for school. We live a little farther from the schools now than before so it's going to take an extra 5 minutes to be in time... so, I have to leave between 8:30-8:35am so that Joel will be in time and not late. I also have to go to the laundromat after dropping the kids at school... ugh! I just can't wait until we are able to get a washer/dryer and do the laundry at home!!

So, I started "A Picture A Day Project" on the 1st... still is the 2nd day but it's kinda fun. I'm posting my pictures on another blog in Blogger (here). I probably do a little description of the picture, what's on my mind, what's happening, etc. Still not sure how that project will go.

I'm cold!! It's 46°F right now @ 8:40pm in Southern California.

1/1/11

We are all settled down in our new home. We spent Christmas in our new home. It's a good feeling to be living in a house (finally!)... the only bad thing is that this home is very very COLD!! It's 5:30pm and I'm freezing myself. I was used to be barefoot at our previous place and even in shorts in the Winter time but not in here. Now, I'm always wearing either jeans or warm pants... shoes or my warm slippers... and always socks!! We are using the fireplace every single day/night to stay warm and not turn on the furnace (as it's gas)... but in all, we are happy here. I still prefer this weather of cold instead of Summer temperatures above 90's.

Yesterday was my birthday. We didn't do much on New Year's Eve/my birthday. We stayed home. I did went to the grocery store and to get my free birthday drink at Starbucks... but that's about it. We watched Ghost Adventures as the Travel Channel had a marathon and that was a good thing (for me because I'm a huge fan of the GAC LOL!). Going out wasn't an option as it was extremely cold and none of us felt like going out in the cold with kids. Staying home and being warm and comfy was more tempting.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011!!

We are moving!

I should record from now until our moving day. Yes, we are finally moving out after living in this apartment for almost five years. Why we are moving? We are moving into a house... it's a 2-story home with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 car garage, fireplace, huge living room (compared to here), backyard and in a nice neighborhood. We began packing since last week little by little. We still have quite a bit to pack still but it's ok because the moving day will be on December 17th... so we still have 14 days until moving day.
