My Own Change

Ok, so this week was the beginning for me. The time changed and that was definately something to get used to and still is. I feel so drained. And every year this happens I get exhausted.

I also started walking every evening. Its not very far but its definately a start. I walk for 20-30 minutes around my neighborhood twice. And it really feels good. Bryan has been working really, extremely long hours this week. so between 5pm and 6pm I have been walking. Load the girls in the stroller and Sergio rides his bike and we just walk. Cienna loves it and I think looks forward to it in a way. She is aware when I say "Let's go for a walk" she goes and gets her cup and a snack and gets in the stroller. It is so cute.

I also signed up for the Southern Nevada Susan G Komen Race For The Cure walk on May 1st. And I honestly am soooo excited. Its only a 5k but its really got me motivated. Im already looking forward to next years race and raising awarness and funds for research. It just makes me feel good. My mom is doing it with me and I just can not wait. I fell like not only telling everyone to do it with me butmaking them. LOL

So the weather is nice, it feels like Spring and good good things are starting.

WHAT WAS I THINKING!

And thats just it! I cant believe I even did it.

After picking up Sergio from his dads, I started making dinner. Just an easy throw together meal. Cienna loves hot dogs. So i cooked some of those and french fries. I had been craving a nice green salad, so of course I made one of those. I also grabbed some Italian sausages from the store earlier so i thoguth i would just throw them in some beer and cook them up. They had ben cooking for awhile and all nice and brown on the outside. I have never ever cooked anything wrong or bad. If anything i have been known to over cook something. Sergio was ready to eat so I told him "hot dog right?" He normally does not eat what we want so I figured he would go with the easier and just have a hot dog... NOPE! He wanted a sausage... Sure! SO here i am thinking its great he wants something different. He makes his own plate getss all the fix ins he wants, I go to tell Bryan "Let's eat" I come back in, make my own plate, take one bit and look at Bryan... The damn sausages werent done all the way! I look at Sergio to tell him to STOP! His is gone! GREAT!... I cook the rest till they are almost burnt. Sergio is going on and on about how good it was. We tried to tell him they werent done and that he would probably get sick. We all watched some tv and hung out. I of course end up on toilet first... and decide im going to bed early! Then right when everyone else is heading to bed Sergio comes to me and says " Mom, Im gonna throw up". I told him go to the bathroom. I got him some water rubbed his back. Meantime Bryan put Cienna to bed and got in bed himself. Sergio tried to go to the bathroom as well, no luck. I tucked him in, got him a bowl ( just in case ) and walked out. I only made it to my bedroom door.

Poor boy, stopped him in his tracks... he froze.couldnt even make it to the bathroom... I ran back to help him to the toilet and by that time he was done. He wanted to take a bath and brush his teeth, so i drew up the bath for him and started towards cleaning the carpet. Bryan by this point has gotten up in his underwear. Grabs a baby blanket of one of the girls and says he's got this! LOL No, no he doesnt. For those who dont know my husband has a weak stomach especially when it comes to throw up. He tied the blanket around his face & head to block out the smell but it didnt help. I couldnt help but laugh watching him try. I got it all cleaned up, and then carpet cleaned the carpet and Bryan grabbed the Febreze for the smell... LOL

I can not believe I made my son sick. That has never happened to me. I have never undercooked anything before. I felt so terrible all night and even today. Sergio kept apologizing to me for getting sick on the carpet and I dont understand why he felt he had to apologize... Im the one who did it! Needless to say we WILL NOT be having sausage in our house for awhile...

Ooops!

Cienna is 2!


Sunday Feb 21st was a little bittersweet. I couldnt believe that two years ago that day I was having Cienna. Time has just flown by us so fast. She is so smart. It amazing how something so little can piece things together the way that they do and remember sooo much!

I remember when it finally sank in that i was having a girl... I cried! I did NOT want to have a girl. I felt like boys is what i knew what i could handle and be good at, but all in all being a mom is all that matters whether its to a girl or a boy. It is the hardest but most rewarding "job" a person could ever be.

Happy Birthday baby girl!

A Penny For My Thoughts

2010! I cant even believe its already here. Last year went by so fast. It seems like once you have children the time just passes by like wind. Sergio will be 10 this year! Holy Cow!!!!!! TEN! Cienna turns 2 next month and Sage 1 in May.
With everything the way it is right now in the world its hard to tell what this year will bring us but I'm only looking towards positive and exciting things. Since my last post I have started eating somewhat healthier not at all like i wanted to but I'm getting there, slowly but surely. LOL I applied for a job went through two interviews and a bikini audition. But it looks like luck wasn't on my side that day as I have not heard whether or not i did or did not get it. The way I see it is I tried I did my best and i think i got pretty darn far for someone who has no experience and going up against about 40 people who do have experience. I am just going to keep looking. I'm hoping that this year I can FINALLY take some courses come summertime. Again..POSITIVE THINKING!
Today I am making a few doctors appointments for myself... which to me is a good thing because I feel I am making the necessary steps towards my "healthy" goals.

Bryan is working right now, which is always a blessing but we never know what each day brings us so hopefully it keeps coming is all i ask for.

Sergio came home from his dads on Sunday with pink eye. He cant go back to school until tomorrow. Cienna and Sage still have runny noses but it is getting better.

I am sooooo excited to do our taxes this year... we have one more child to add, the first time home buyer credit, and a few other things. Unfortunately we are still waiting for a couple more W-2's. Those things never seem to come when you want them to. But I'm still counting down til they do..LOL

Until next time...........

I cant believe this year is almost over. I want so much for the coming year. I am not a person who usually or generally makes "new years resolutions" or even goals for the new year. This year I have felt a kind of motivation to do that.

The more I think about what I want for the coming year, the more motivated I get to actually follow through in doing it all and more.
Now that my family is complete, healthy, and happy its like i feel like we can start a wonderful journey, all five of us together.

I want to vow to take my kids on more vacations, to more places to see and travel. All the things I got to do with both of my parents as a child even though they weren't together. I truly want to start eating healthier. If Bryan and I do, then our kids will as well. I know that we aren't unhealthy people. But we eat junk food way too much. I want to feel healthier which brings me to my next goal. I originally said that i was going to quit smoking before or by new years. But now I'm just going to say that 2010 is my year. I am going to quit smoking, and get fit, and eat better. Smoking is by far the most horrible addiction in my life. And I want to quit. I want to do it for myself, my kids, my husband ( but he has to too ), to save money, and to feel better.
In the coming year, we ARE going to go to "the dirty south" and I as well as my children will finally get to meet Bryan's family in Alabama. We all will get to see places we have never seen before. Ever since Bryan and I first got together we have been trying year after year to save money to make a visit out there and every year its something. Whether a slow down in work or popping out yet another baby it has disabled us from going out there. But this year it will happen!
I am going to go back to school. I will pursue some sort of career that is everlasting, something i should have just kept working towards from the beginning. I will start with one semester at a time and at the very bottom as well. But if it takes me the next 5 years to do it I will do it!

I figure if I just keep motivating myself and working towards everything I want or need, in the end it will be so worth it not only for myself but my whole family. There is no beginning and end... only new beginnings that never end!
