11 Days Ago

I blogged.
I did my tag blog, as the supersticious individual I am, and then promised to come back for more exciting news.
I got a little busy, sorry.
It feels like forever since I have not posted something, doesn't it?
Well, it does to me!
Mostly because it has been quite a few interesting and very important days and so much is really going on in my life right now.
(although, when does it not?)

Before my last post, we celebrated my little angel's 1rst birthday!
I must say, the party was a complete success. Rain and all.
I was very bummed that it decided to rain 10 minutes before the party started.
But it really was a great party!
(I guess it made us cozy up to one another! )





















...


Daddy left that monday morning, as usual.
Actually, everyone left that day.



Me, the baby and Abuela (grandma) were left in the house.

That thursday, June 18th, my big boy came back.
It was his, how old is he now? 34?, 34th birthday!
(I think)
(lemme do the math... 1975 minus 2009 = 34)
Okay, so I was saying, it was his 34th birthday.
We celebrated by ordering chinese and eating my cake.


Saturday, JUNE 20th, 2009 arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A year ago, at 2:03 PM, I had my little darling baby boy!

Words could not express the feeling I had all day long.
It was like I had butterflies in my belly, a high heel inside my throat and a helium balloon inside my head - bc I felt light headed all day long...
Such a bitter sweet day.
Ohhhh, what a special day that is, FOREVER, for me, the luckiest mommy in this world!

Wanna Do City was the place we "celebrated" his real birthday.

Just us :-)




















Can I tell you how I felt when my cellphone alarm went off at 2:03pm?

Yes, I set my alarm off so it could go off at exactly 2:03pm, that way I could sing happy birthday, all by myself, to my little boy, at the exact time he was born last year.
I stood next to him in his stroller, sung happy birthday - while caresing his head and holding his hand - and held back my tears as much as I could.
My eyes were literally filling up with water.
I felt like those cartoon characters (like in Sponge Bob) where the cartoon is about to cry, but first the whole eye gets full of water, and then the tears start pouring out...


But I was in public, and I wasn't a cartoon (even though I probably started looking like one, since my nose was getting all red), so I had to stop myself.

Father's day was also a great day.
I spent the day with my daddy and my baby's daddy at the house. Yey for that!
(Abuela, Carmen and Don Felix were also there)
Of course, we cooked the latin food. YUM!





And that was pretty much it.
Except Punky's Bday was also during these past few days!
awww.... Poor Punky didn't really get her special day celebrated...
(I actually forgot until now... bad mommy!)


Now, I am back to concentrating in guess what?

THE MOVE!!!!

Jodi went to look at houses (Oh, how I wished I was with him) on Friday. Every house he saw had something we didn't like. Like no Washer and Dryer. No fenced yard. Small closets... etc etc.
Oh! remember my post with the picture that had the awesome backyard with a kid's playground on it?
Well, the master closet was not even as big as my guest closet here.
Uff, that's definitely a deal breaker for me!
Not to sound all stuck up, but I just could not do it!
My shoes don't even fit in that closet alone!
(not that I use 20% of them, I probably should even donate them, but I love them all! And I know once I get back on my groove, I will certainly use some of those sexy high heels I love so much!)
So anyways, we were kind of dissapointed.

After he came back, I searched online and found my DREAM house.
A little out of my price range, BUT it has EVERYTHING I want in it!!!!!!!!
And it is in the same street that our friends there live in!
(Jodi's best friend, as a matter of fact!)
ahhhh!!!!!!!!!
I want it! I want it and I want it!
(oh and I want it NOW!)


So he is going to look at it on Monday and I just pray pray pray, he says it has a big master closet and a washer and dryer!
If we get that house (and they take my offer *I am offering $50 less *** ) I will be one happy happy lady!
(until the move comes up - eeckkk! lol)


So for now, I am a bit anxious about this whole picking a house ordeal.

If you can, please pray for us and that we do get that house!


WE are pretty much MOVING IN LESS THAN 1 MONTH!
and I am going to PR next week for 10 days!

HOLY MOLY!

K, gotta go.

Thanks for reading.
Muahz!

I have been tagged



Before I write about my AMAZING Weekend, the weekend we spent with all the family members I love and we all celebrated Baby J's bday, I must do something different.
I have to.
I am "little" supersticious.
And some birdies are saying that if I don't do it, I would be cursed.
GREAT!

I would've done it anyways, u know...







Here we go.


The Rules of the ancient art of tagging are as follows.
Be diligent in your quest for understanding.
* List Six Unimportant Things That Make You Happy
* Mention and link to the person who tagged you
* Tag six of your favorite bloggers to play along {and comment on their blog to let them know they’ve been tagged}
And Go.



Kinda hard to list 6 unimportant things that make me happy, bc if they make me happy, I consider them IMPORTANT...)

Lets see:

1. Sweets. I have the worst sweet tooth someone can ever have. Lately I have been trying to stay away from that many sweets, since I have been wanting to loose a little more weight. However, we had family in town this weekend and my house is full of them now! I have to confess I have eaten 3.5 crispy creme donuts today! YEP! No breakfast, no lunch so far, just donuts and water and oh! 2 oreo cookies! Holy Moly! That is BAD!

2. Paying bills. I love paying bills. We could be doing good, or going through a little bit of a rough time, I still love paying bills. I like sitting on the computer, going through our finances and making those payments. I know, I am crazy!

3. Cleaning. uhu! now u really must think I am a nut! I don't like cleaning AFTER people. But I enjoy cleaning the house. Specially if I get to move furniture around and re-arrange it! My sister used to get mad at me when we shared a room when we were teenagers bc she would come home and not even know what side of the room her bed would be at. She would yell at me bc she couldn't find stuff... OH well... I have not changed since then.

4. Music. Well, not that music is not important, but sometimes I could be somewhere and a good song would play in the background and I would get all excited (internally, of course). I am defintely in love with Music, it brings out all sorts of emotions.

5. Getting cute, sweet text messages from friends out of the blue. Definitely brings a big smile to my face.

6. Good, crazy reality shows. The Bachelor (rette), Amazing Race, So you think u can dance, Big Brother, Survivor, Real Desperate Housewives, Dancing with the stars, The Apprentice, Wife Swap... etc etc... I think they make me think I am normal! ha!

So those are my 6 things, and now on to tagging away...
