Happy mothers day to all you mammas out there!! Its a hard job we do so we deserve a day of r&r....I woke up to mi kids homemade card which were adorable and my husband store card that sang :how sweet it is to be loved by you" from the kids also!! He had strawberry waffles for me he got at our local small town resturant which was grub!!!I really want the wii fit so he got me and extra game for it....its a gold gym one too stoked! later this evening we are going to The Waterloo resturant which is my fav for some ribs and yummy cocktails!!! Cant wait I am blessed!! My mother in law is in Mexico so thats sucks, I did mothers day with my mama last weekend since we assumed we were moving this weekend, and I got drinks n a pedi with my step mom yesterday so today its just me.

Mothers Day weekend!!!!

I am soooo excited for this weekend. I feel like everyday I am blessed just to have the privledge of being my kiddies mama..so a day thats spoiles me for that is just icing on my cake!! Being a mom is by far the best things I could have ever asked for. Times get hard and my patience gets tested daily, but they make me complete and the crazyness is what little ones are about! Nothing rewarding comes for free or without sacrafice and hardwork , parenting is not any different. To me a mother is a women who loves unconditionally. A women who puts their children before themselves at all costs, and a women who is completely selfless. When I had my first child my life was no longer just mine every decision I make effects my children and thats how I believe it should be. Of course I love having "mommy" time believe me my life is alot of fun, but I live everyday for them my free time comes after any of theor needs or wants. I will say though my life is dedicated to my kids and I dont mind saying I dont have many girlfriends I go out with or anything of that sort because I chose to direct my life towards being with my kids and being the best mom and wife I can be.Having a good social life and hanging with my firends is pretty low on my priority list. The day will come when my kids are grown or simply just dont want to hang out with their uncool mom so I will be here every second while they do.Being a mother is a privledge not a right and I truely am thankful for all my gifts god gave me.

Weekend Review & highlights of May

So this weekend was fun, relaxing, and constructive... yes all the above! On Saturday we just sat around the house and lounged besides our one outing to Costco to buy a Wii...Yay!! The kids love it and so do I you work up a sweat playing tennis and boxing! After we move we are buying the Wii Fit so I can get my exercise on! Then I got a new cell phone since my old one was just tore up and it is a texting phone which is great because I am a hardcore texter and needed one lol! The kids love the wii its hilarious to watch them play especially Dominic.Sunday we got rid of alot of junk Ripon has a once a year put all your large trash items on he curb and they pick it up for you so its a great spring cleaning motivator since we are moving HOPEFULLY this week..it worked out great:) After we did some housecleaning we took my mom out for Mothers day a week ahead since this weekend most likely we will be moving. kids had fun so did I so it was a great Sunday as well.Not to mention this semester is over thank god, and I lost just about 4lbs this week so its goin good for me . Now if we can just get this whole escrow thing over and actually move into our new house life would be at a high point for me.

Highlightes of May....We will be moving into our new place thats all ours no more rent and hello to a mortgage payment!

We will be celebrating out 1 year anniversary even though its been over 6 legally 1....and its been a blessing to have been married to my love:)

My Dad and Jackie are taking Adri to Disneyland Storm and I are also going I cant wait to see her face when she gets there!! (When each of the kids turn 5 they take them to Disneyland..Adri is not 5 till Nov, but we are going now for better weather I guess..lol)

Mothers Day of course I love I get praised for being a mommy to my beautiful kids which I feel so lucky to have the honor of being their mom:)

So as you can see we have a fun month ahead!!!

Random things that cross my mind

Why is it that when I tell one of my little ones for instance come and sit at the table and eat your breakfast they dont want to come and will ignore me like I am not even there.....but as soon as I say for instance "Adriana if you dont come eat your food I will give it to your brother"..AND HERE SHE COMES RUNNING SCREAMING NO! With both of my kids this works everytime... fine you dont want it I will give it to your brother/sister then they are on it...mmmmmm.
Why people say things will get done by a certain day and that day comes 3 days or so after the latest date...mmmmmm why dont you just say you are going to take your sweet ass time and when it gets done it does!!
Why do people have to be so dirty and rude. I walk into so many stores and crap is just everywhere unorganized and ghetto rude poeple run around like chickens with their heads cut off...this is the number ONE reason I refuse to go to Walmart..nope never again. I will pay an extra few bucks shopping at Target where I can actually go down isles and not get pushed around by 25 carts in one dang isle!
I can go on for days on things that annoy me....hehe but I wont.

A few things that make me smile....

The poeple at my daughters preschool are just a rare breed. They love my daughter and take such good care of all the kids there. I honestly trust them with any of my kids and I see the good in people when I am there.
When you have neighbors like the one we will have when we move in a week or so. Monday we were out at our new house doing a walk through and she took time to come out and meet us all and find out about our family. She seemed like a truely nice person. Neighbors around our house some we still do not even know at all and we have lived here for nearly 5 years...so this type of neighbor is not typical to me.
Seeing my kids laugh and smle over the smallest things. They will crack uo at the smallest little things too bad most of us as adults cant manage to do that. They see the good in everybody which is hard to do when you are grown.

and....I am so very grateful for my husband my kids,family, and friends. I have an amazing husband who supports me in all that i do. He allows me to stay at home with my kids which is hard to accomplish these days. my family loves me and supports me always. We are blessed to have a new house for our family and an investment into our futures. We are all blessed with good health without that we could not be who we are today.....this past month I have learned patience is something you must have not something you sould try to have. God does the things he does for reasons and I just have to deal with that...for whatever reason it is what path he puts me on and it always seems to work out.

Why did I not do this before??

A friend on facebook recommended online shopping and delivery. I heard about that before but always figured it would be highly expensive. Well for me to go grocery shopping is really difficult, I usually always have atleast two toddlers with me if not three so shopping is a nightmare! I have to rush before their patience runs out so its just not something I like doing. Then I will forget to get something and have to go all the way to the other end of the store and with a few impatient toddlers thats like 5 miles!!! So I looked it up savemart does not deliver in my area but I found the second best thing......Raleys drive through pick up!!! I ordered all our groceries online which is super easy they have everything broken down in categories so its really simple and you pick a time slot you want to pick them up at and you just slip right thru the drive through press a button and they load your groceries!!!! I am so beyond excited about this..and to my suprise Raleys is not all that pricey. I pick items on sale and if they are too expensive I just dont buy but I got everything we need for atleast a week if not more for 112.00 not bad! For the first 5 times this service is free and 4.95 after well worth it to me. Anything to make my life less chaotic I am all for it!

MeXico......

Last Friday night we left for Mexico, Tijuana to be exact to visit my husbands family. His cousin was having a quince which is basically our version of the sweet 16, but they celebrate at 15. It is just like a wedding, its a huge deal down there. Anyways the drive was fine the kids did pretty good. Once we got there it was a bit awkward I must say. It is very cramped and cluttered there people just live totally different.We went there about 4 years ago, but just for the day while we were visiting in San Diego. The houses are very tiny so all four of us were in a room with alot of clutter for 3 days!!the houses are made of basically concrete and plywood they are not like our houses at all.People just throw garbage eveywhere it just looks really really run down. I found it a bit challeneging to have the kids there. For me I see it as really unsafe..there are medicines lying around in childrens reach, drop offs of hills everywhere, there is just plain and simply alot of things that kids can get hurt with childproofing really doesent exist there which was hard because I felt I could not really relax because i watched my kids every move. My husbands family are so very sweet though, and they tried their best to make me feel comfotable. It is really hard though I just felt overwhelemed by it all. One thing I admire about down there is they hold family really dear. They spend alot of time with eachother and basically just have a super strong family value. I feel like here in the states family is not nearly as tight are loyal as they are there. My husbands family would do anything for eachother i cant say that about all my family here. I am really blessed to be married into a family that is so caring my inlaws are just the best so with the downside of things def comes a large upside.They are such hard workers too they do not have alot so they appreciate everything they have not like us spoiled americans! I did speak alot more spanish than I though I would, but only in small groups when alot of people were around I kinda clamed up and got a bit intimidated..lol. We went to Rosarito Beach..and of course I had to go to Papas N Beer!!! OMG I was in heaven..the kids loved the beach and they just played in the sand for hours. We did have a good time its just a whole dif world there and I takes a bit getting used too. Best discribed I guess as it seems they have no rules or boundaries kids and cars run wild!!! Just not used to that i am very structured, clasterphobic, and I dont like messy places..so yeah kinda weird fit. It was a good time, but I am glad to be home. We will visit again I I think once the little ones are a bit bigger it will be alot easier, especially Domonic. they probally thought I was crazy for floowoing them around making sure they dont hurt themselves!!

BTW Stormie stayed behind with her grandma she said Mexico wasen't safe so she diden't wanna go...lol
