Good morning!
It’s been a crazy morning, so bare with me LOL! My daughter had to dress up for Hispanic Heritage today at school so with the outfit and doing her make up and getting everything ready with the meal we prepared for her class was a HUGE task!
Anyway, she looked adorable and I cant deny she is one of the most beautiful little girls in the world…my little cookie getting so big…I found it funny how she asked me in the morning on the ride to school…”Mom, who’s picking me up today?” I answered “Nana, the bus brings you to abuela’s house as usual mama” and she said “Oh no mom I’m not going in the bus with my costume” I then said “Why” and she said “because Mom I’m shy” LOL! She’s adorable I swear they say the cutest things!
Anyway, today I wanted to share a story with you all about the most embarrassing moment’s kids whether they are yours or not make you experience. So, I’m having a bit of writer’s block this morning and I can’t remember any that my oldest daughter has made me experience, but in the short months that Geanna has been with us she has made me experience several.
One fine day my husband and I were at CarMax shopping for a new car, and the lady that was helping us was rather young maybe my age, she was really cool down to earth. Anyway, as we are looking around we finally see a car we like. We go into the little room that they take you in while they get all your info and run your credit and tell you all the details of the purchase. Geanna has always been a very gassy baby LOL! She farts a lot my poor little monkey! Anyway, almost all the time it sounded like an adult fart like if literally a 200 pound 6’0 man was doing it. She hadn’t gone poo that morning and I was a bit scared but by this time with all the hassle of getting a new car I had put that thought on the back burner and let it sit without thinking about it anymore.
Little did I know what was going to happen next?!!! OMG! There it happened, a HUGE FART! That girl looked at me like WTF!!!! LOL! Mind you of course my luck I’m holding Geanna and Gabriel (My husband) wasn’t AHHH! Anyway, I’m turning red as I say I’m sorry it’s the baby she’s going poo! She had this look on her face like YEAH RIGHT LADY TRY AND PLAY IT OFF AND BLAME IT ON THE POOR CHILD! I wanted to die, I wanted the floor to create a whole and swallow me in the process. I couldn’t help but crack up, Gabriel was hysterically laughing and he wouldn’t stop, yeah well good for him the lady didn’t think it was him who blew the nasty fart! Oh yeah, and of course it stunk up the whole little room we were sitting in…I eventually walked out to change Geanna in the bathroom…
As I took her to the bathroom I looked at her like, god I love you so much but why do you have to make mommy go through these embarrassing moments! I started laughing again! The women in the restroom must have thought I was a crazy! All in all I look back at the moment and still laugh and I now find it hilarious! FYI, Geanna grew out of this nasty fart blowing episodes! THANK GOD!
And I end my post with “Kids, you gotta love them” :)

...Military Families...
So I’m not sure how many of you are going through this and how close you are to these family members or friends, but all in all my cousin Jose joined the Army last year in November. I can’t say I was “happy” that he joined because I was scared for his safety, especially at a time that the United States is at War, but something inside me said that it was a good choice for him, a new beginning! I supported him just as he would me if it were the other way around!
When it was finally his time to depart I have to say I was very emotional, my cousin and I grew up in a very tight knight family his brothers and I were always together and still remain very close and we cared and defended each other every much! I’m particularly a lot closer to Jose because we share a lot in common and we share a lot of the same characteristics some that are good and some that are bad like our short temper LOL! When my first daughter was born he was always there for her, he came to visit her all the time and it was amazing to see him bond with her, at times I look back at the pictures and smile. He hasn't been able to bond as much with Geanna since he has been gone for so long... I was there in his moments of despair and his moments of happiness and he was also in mine. I remember one day, Jose broke his arm playing football and he needed surgery. I went to visit him at the hospital and it was heart breaking, the best part was I BEGGED my mom to let me stay home from school with him so I can take care of him! Mind you he’s older than me by 2 years HAHA! I remember the late nights staying up doing his school projects with him cause he had no idea what to do...particularly i remember burning paper at the tips to make his project paper look old you know, renaissance time type thing LOL! I have shared so many memories good and bad with him! When I look back he is not only my cousin but my best friend! I can confide in him, I trust him!

OMG! I also remember when he met Leyla (his wife) and he was taking her out for dinner on her birthday...must have been like their first few dates and he came over and he's like "Daema, you have to dress me, i have o impress this girl" LOL! (jose, i know if your reading this your totally going to deny it but dont front buddy LOL!).
So he called me the other day and while taking he dropped the bomb on me, he’s deploying to Iraq in January, 2010 and once again that fear has set in, the what if’s of the whole situation start haunting my head…yesterday I commented on his Facebook page and told him to seal himself inside a bullet/bomb proof bubble and make sure he doesn’t get out. Although he is intelligence which gives me hope that he is safer than those that have to be in combat, I’m still scared!
He has so much going for him here, his wife Leyla, his daughter Amalia and another bundle of joy on the way…I’m saddened because he won’t be here to welcome his new baby into the world or see Amalia’s reaction when the baby arrives…just simply share this moment with his wife…you know? He will be gone for at least a year, that’s long, not to mention that he has been gone for almost a year on and off in the whole training process.
I’m mostly scared because I don’t want anything to happen to him, my cousins are like the brothers I never had, so deep done inside I protect them. That motherly instinct kicks in, you can say.
Jose, thank you, thank you so very much for all that you have done for me and my girls and for befriending Gabriel the way you did and continue to! You’re an amazing person with a heart of rock solid gold and I am so proud of all that you have accomplished!

Hello World
So, i woke up this morning feeling like i needed a hobby, so i came down to it and said why not blog? i dont have time to go out and actually participate in activities and have honestly tried to do other things but i never set aside time for it and then leave things half way started and never finished... I never have blogged before and honestly i never read anyone elses. I remember a time where this was the "IT" thing...Everyone blogged, i never cared to look into it. I realize now that even though no one might read this its a very good and positive way to express your thoughts and feelings!
So a little about me, I'm 22 and I'm a mother of 2 little girls, I'm married and my husband means a lot to me...(super cliche right?) well its the truth I'm happily married and very proud to be a young mom. Anyway, I'm in school i just finished my Bachelors in Psychology and i started my Masters program right away NO BREAKS! if you take a break you lose the flow and i cant lose my flow! I applied for the doctoral program but, I'm waiting for an answer and honestly, i don't know if I'm ready for that journey! Its another 5 LOOOOONNNGGGG years of hard work and dedication. When i was at graduation it was such a great experience i tell you, WOW super empowering. Everyone attended the same ceremony, Bachelors, Masters and Doctorates. When they called up the the graduates from the Doctoral program...words cannot explain...Dr. So and So when they add that Dr. in front of your name....i don't know what it feels like because I'm not there yet but...if it felt that way without even getting there...then i think it might be worth it...i dont know let me know what you gusy think...maybe i should go for it huh?
So anyway, i started this blog just to come here everyday and have something to talk about something about life and all the troubles and smiles that come with it...i ask that everyone who decides to come read it please make comments let me know what you think...tell me your side of the story let me know who you are and why you came to read my blog...
Please be polite, I'm not here to start a fight :) the last thing i want is people insulting each other or me for that matter...I'm open to here topics you want to talk about...I need a hobby so this is it!
Blog freely ladies and gentlemen! :)
