Anything is possible
I just realized it.. you know how you feel connected to mother nature/animals. I just realized my kids are. The two younger ones are connected somehow to a certain animal. I didn't know it until yesterday. I would question about their behavior and wonder where in the world they got it from. And yesterday I found the answer. You see Santiago and Amali have recently been screaming high pitch screams for everything...
"MAMA AGGGHHHIIIEEEE... les go ouside aggghhhiiieeee.... look mama aghhiee book... agghhhieee.. Mama leche aggghhieee.."
both just scream for no reason but to get our attention. And I would just look and ask the 2 and 1 year old where in the world did they get this from.. Why are you screaming.. stop screaming...and then yesterday we went to Discovery Kingdom... passed the dolphins.. and knew it.. there it was that same screeching scream... except instead of it being my kids it was the dolphins talking to eachother..
agghiiee... agghhiieee..a ggghhieee..
And I knew.. the babies are dolphins... that's it.. Its possible.. somehow their DNA got mixed up with dolphins.. Yeah I must have gone to Sea World or the dolphins in Puerto V got in my blood and mixed in both pregnancies.. They must be cause where in the heck would they get this screaming from.. besides anything is possible..
heck if this can happen.... then so can this....
"MAMA AGGGHHHIIIEEEE... les go ouside aggghhhiiieeee.... look mama aghhiee book... agghhhieee.. Mama leche aggghhieee.."

Summer and time....
Its almost at an end.. and it makes me sad. Summertime is my favorite. I really get to spend time with the kids and get to know them even more. Yes I said it.. Get to know them. I hate to admit it but when I'm working it's always routine time get up, get ready, get set and go. And I do spend time with them during school days. But I feel that work and everything just adds stress to my full attention on them.
During break I don't think of anything else. Nothing is in my mind but what should we do tomorrow with the kids? What can we do to have fun? What are some things to play and learn and relax that we can do... Each baby of mine.. has grown.. learned something new.. has done hilarious things, has grown at least an inch, made me laugh, worry, giggle, hug them and more. Just in this small amount of time I've seen each of my babies grow...
Santiago - Is talking so much. He repeats a lot of what he says and has this cute adorable voice when he says it. He calls everyone Mama.. but I know he knows who the real Mama is. He adores his siblings and wants to do everything they do. Follow them, chase them, run with them.. everything. He has scraped his knee fallen on it many of times and yet he gets right back up to play.
Amali - Is my 2 year old who thinks she is 10. She will start preschool soon and I already know she is going to love it. She is my social butterfly who is not afraid of anyone (which worries me too) She doesn't like the word No and wants to try things on her own. This summer she has gotten off the sippy cup ( I know I know my bad).. and is in the process of potty training. She is my little mama who wants to help out with everyone.

Javier- Is my almost 7 year old who has enjoyed watching and learning NTGEO and history stuff with his daddy. He's losing his baby face and is stretching out some more. I swear all summer long he has just been snacking and eating all day. He's excited for 2nd grade but is enjoying summer vacation too much to start.
Lourdes - My 11 year old baby girl. I need to remember that sometimes and not forget she is only 11. She will be a 6th grader, which means only 1 more year till middle school. She's done with cartoons and toys, and dolls and has a diary. She's past my chin and catching up to me..
Aye.. summer slow down.. I want more time..

WHY???
I hate advertisements these days... When I see them they make me feel so... What's the word... I guess upset. It's like the companies are trying to sell something that is so wrong!
Poor kids these days just don't get a break and are always treated wrong! I see it everywhere it's like they are all jumping the bandwagon!
The images I see just make me so distraught! I can't help but think what the heck were they thinking when they published it! I sometimes get speechless.. Not sure what to think...so look for yourself at my sadness...
What?? Were you thinking something else? Don't get me wrong I love teaching but I love vacation too!!!

years later... sorry neighbor
Yes.. I admit sometimes I'm wrong.. I'm not one to deny it.. I know that I thought wrong even if its 11 years later... So here goes the story...
Right when we found out we were pregnant with Lala we had moved to a house in La Mesa. We lived in a house next to some duplexes. My brother in law use to live in one of the duplexes. (That's where they met, fell in love and eloped.. okay back to the original story...)
So these duplexes were not so big. The living room was at least 200sq ft.. so Javi says. I just say it was hellasmall. And after my neighbor/brother in law met my sister, got married and moved to a townhouse with her.. a small family had moved in. A young couple with a toddler. And every day or maybe every hour.. they were vacuuming...
Javi and I would get up in the morning.. and hear the vacuum next door.. come home for lunch and hear the vacuum next door, get ready for dinner and hear the vacuum... SO we thought.. jeez... whats up with the vacuum.. they must be on something.. to be vacuuming all the time...
YES.. I thought that... sorry.. Sorry SORRY! cause now I know. after 4 kids.. now I know.. and the vacuum lives in the living room.. and we have professional vacuum cleaners..AKA Papos and Lala who love to take their time to grab every crumb from the floor.. And you think how in the heck does it get sooo dirty... but it does.. So do i mind if my neighbors might think i may be crazy for vacuuming every day/ hour and moment... Nope.. Cause I said I'm sorry to my neighbor ...now that I know.

F I T!
So the last few weeks that I have of vacation are dedicated to getting ready, ready to hit the school year healthy and strong... For the next weeks my days are scheduled for doctors appointments..
The list:
Just had my physical
Lala and Papos had theirs today
Next week lala and Papos get their eyes checked
Next week Ama gets her foot checked out
Lala just had her orthodontist appointment
Going to schedule her speech therapy
Papos has his orthodontist appointment next month
Dentist appointments coming up
My next check up is next month
Lala needs to go back and get another shot next month
... whew... and more.
I knew that I needed to go for my physical.. I mean how come no one ever told me that being pregnant 2 years back to back does not mean that you had your regular physical.. I was at the Docs office all the time for my check ups.. I assumed they were checking me up too. BUt I guess now its time for me.. So I had my appointment.. Went with my other list.. The list of what the hell is wrong with me.. how do i fix it and will I be ok..
Here it is:
Whats wrong with my...
wrist
Elbow
lower back
my veins
am I anemic (whole other story.. Teresa even has a song dedicated to her being anemic.)
hips
hearing
and more.. I went in not telling my doc i had a list.. but he was smart and already knew I had one. He said we can do the regular appointment or hit up your list... So the list was first..
ME: Well heres my list.. My elbow hurts and so does my wrist.. whats wrong with it..?
Doc: Lets check oh looks like it my be tennis elbow... don't do this.. treat it like this.. take care of it..
(CHECK)
ME: OK next my lower back and hips are bothering me and I know it has to do with my weight but whats wrong with me..
Doc: So lower back and hips were on your list but not your weight.
ME: well Yeah .. I know cause I know the problem about my weight I know how to solve it.. but I have no idea of the other things.
Doc: so.. why isn't it on the list..
ME (Thinking. damn it. i knew it. crap. ok. here it goes) I know i'm over weight and I'm working on it. But what about the other things.
DOC: So what do you eat.. do you exercise
Me: (Crap.. there goes the list) Sigh... ok doc what do i have to do..
DOC: Have you thought about being a vegan?
ME: (ummmm.....) No.
So... I think the Doc has a plan for me. Tere wants me to go for it.. but a vegan? really.. doesn't he know I'm married to Javi who is a carnivore and I'm not creative when it comes to cooking. So he's going to see me in a month.. do the regular check up.. check how I'm doing on my own (not vegan way) and see if I can do it.. otherwise he has a plan...
So we all decided to have a competition.. see who loses more weight.. or body mass or anything.. motivation to get our butt moving... Let's GO!
My motivation now is to keep up with them.. Cause they leave me in the dust.. Here we go!
