Octo,....mom?

Who would've thought it could be possible,....8 babies at once! Is she crazy? Lets not even mention the others which make a total of 14 kIDS, of those 8 newborns,.....how is she going to do it. I have one and it's a handful. To add on top of that she's single,...and doesn't work because apparently she's disabled. Okay how would they even allow this? I mean it's one thing for Angelina and Brad to have lots of babies,...THEY HAVE THE MEANS TO SUPPORT THEM....but this poor gal and her mother. I mean I seriously don't know what to say. I think she was being selfish and only thought of herself,..what she wanted when she was a child A BIG FAMILY. I personally think she made a stupid choice; 14 is too much to handle.

I ask myself how she sleeps........

Ideas for Valentine's Day

I know I know,..another V day is here and what will you do? Roses and chocolates again? Try something different. I've managed to write some of my personal favorite things I've done and will do and as always I wanted to share it with you.......

1. Write love quotes, or a poem in a frame or a card;

2. Make a CD of all your romantic songs (songs that have a meaning for both of you);

3. Make a picnic to your favorite spot;

4. Make a collage of the two of you with a verse from "your" song in the middle;

5. Make a list of all the things you love about your partner;

6. Send messages to your lovey dovey all day long (naughty and ncie);

7. Make valentine a “whole year” event,….send nice little notes to your partner every single day for a whole year. Surely you’ll get extra points….;

8. Paint a box or a jar and fill with little love notes, poems, or reasons why u love your partner, so whenever he or she is down they pop open the jar and reach in for a little boost. Or you can fill a container with your love's favorite candy (ie: The charms form Lucky Charms, red M&M's, pink Starbursts,..etc.);

9. Make a little coupon book (which contains coupons your Honey can redeem at any time; you can include anything from foot rub, car wash, facial, manicure, hang with the boys/gals, free day and naughty things—let your imagination run wild-be creative);
10. Breakfast in bed;

11. Make a bath for your loved one with bath salts and scented oils, topped with rose petals and place those small white candles for the scented oils everywhere is the bathroom;
12. Call local radio and dedicate a song for your gal/guy;

13. Organize a treasure hunt with arrows and clues to reach the final prize (YOU) in the bed/bath WAITING….;

14. Place rose petals from the door to the bed and write I LOVE YOU with chocolate kisses and decorate with rose petals, place some candles on the floor to add the perfect romantic lighting (but don't put the candles in the way of your path.......I was so in the mood I got burned,...lol)

Regardless of what you do just have fun doing it.....

AROD Haters.....

I'm a true Alex Rodriguez fan. I mean ever since he was drafted I've been following him in his career and hoping that he'd turn into the great athlete that he is today. I knew he was going to be BIG! Aside from the fact that he is soooooo good-looking, you have to admit he is a great baseball player. I mean hello, isn't his contract proof of that. What I don't get is why people hate him so much? I mean you don't see none of this hatred towards Barry Bonds or Mark Maguire or even Sammy Sosa. Why are people always pointing fingers at him? When he chose to play for the US in the World Classic last year (i think) the Dominican population tore him apart saying he wasn't a true Dominican, and they even said that AROD said he wasn't Dominican. Well HE truly isn't; his parent's are. Now the Dominicans are more accepting of him because this year he will be wearing a Dominican uniform in the World Classic. Regardless of what he wears I will be supporting him. US or not I'm there for you Alex......forget about what all these people say, they're just jealous you're living better than them! You make a great living by playing a great sport,..one I'm sure you love.......

Only friends? Is it possible?

Many people thing that having a male friend is a big no-no being that I'm a married woman. But I think that having male friends can actually help me keep my sanity as long as I maintain certain boundaries. There are times when my head as a woman starts to go crazy and think all kinds of things, (ie: a jealous rage) and thanks to my guy friend I'm able to rethink the situation and realize that I'm not seeing another point-of-view. There are times when us, women, see things differently than what they really are. So my guy friends help me out whenever I have certain doubts or insecurities regarding my relationship and other aspects of my life. My friends respect me and my husband. But more importantly I respect my husband and myself.

There are certain things that I don't find appropriate. For instance, drinking with my male buddy ALONE; being ALONE for a long time; going out at night ALONE. It's not that I don't trust him or me, it's simply that being alone with a person from the opposite sex and putting yourself in certain positions can "tempt" you into doing something more. You may get an "urge" and it can go further than intended.

So just keep it simple........and everything will be fine!

Not during sex,.....:(

Does this happen only to me or to anyone else. Do you have that one family member that is not bad but you kind of like and don't like at the same time? I mean this person calls at all the wrong moments, wants to come over when I really don't feel like having any visitors? And the sad thing is it's not on purpose....it just happens,...AT THE WRONG TIME! Perfect example,..today I was,...um,....you know "taking care of my business with my hubby",...and right smack in the middle the phone rings,.....the phone hasn't rang alllll day but right in the middle of our business that damn thing rings. Meanwhile I'm trying to concentrate and hurry up so that it doesn't go to my answering machine. So right when it's being answered by the machine I pick up and try to sound calm and I say "hello",....well let's just say my aunt didn't recognize me,...lol...she kept saying what's wrong I didn't recognize you and I'm like "oh how odd I have no idea why..."....and my husband yelling in the background "oh she was only getting it on,...jesus".....jajajaja no but seriously. Wrong time to call,......lol

I was reading the news and and came across an article on a Brazilian Model whose hands and feet were amputated; she died today. Apparently the poor girl was diagnosed with UTI and kidney stones. The infection spread to her body and her limbs weren't receiving enough oxygen. The infection spread to her body and the antibiotics weren't doing her any good. Mind you she was hospitalized early this month. It's crazy that one minute you're doing fine and the next you could find yourself in a life threatening situation. I feel bad for her family. A few months ago I had to hospitalize my baby (less than a year old) because he has a throat infection and it was beginning to spread to his body. Thankfully, we caught it in time and the antibiotics worked; 5 days later he was released from the hospital.

So I want to take this time to say Thanks for all my friends and family that had my baby and our family in their prayers and for God granting our wishes. Thank you God for watching over my baby!

Be the bully or be bullied!

The other day while I was playing with my son I noticed he had a bruise on his forearm. It looked like a small circle, almost like a small bite mark. He doesn’t have any friends yet and he doesn’t see his cousins on a regular basis. So my first thought was he bit himself. But after looking at it cautiously I noticed that the bite mark was made from another small child (the bruise was on the outside of his forearm.) Although I didn’t see anyone bite him, I have a hunch on who it was and I’m almost sure it was one of his cousins. On Christmas day he was receiving gifts from my family and one particular cousin wanted to use his gifts. So I say “share your toys; lend it to her we’ll play with it later” (mind you, my son is 1 year and 1 month old he doesn’t understand this concept but I’m trying to teach him the concept). So I tell his cousin, “ok, he lent you his toy but lend him yours” and she snatched her toy away. Her mother obviously yells at her and tells her to share but the little girl has such an attitude she doesn’t listen. I’m guessing the sometime during the day she bit him, possibly because of a toy. Now I’m not saying it’s what happened but I’m almost sure of it!

Now, what is a parent supposed to teach their children. I mean I don’t want my son to be a bully but I certainly don’t want him to get bit and get bullied! I’ve never fought and never instigated anyone. But if I ever get hit you can be sure I’m not going to get hit again! For those parents who have experience in this, I would like to hear your opinion!

Do I look,......old?

I would love to hear what you guys and gals have to say about this. My hubby turned 33 recently and he’s always been pretty active. I mean name a sport or activity and he’s probably done it. Surfing, snowboarding, baseball, tennis, golf,….you name it. He loves to be active. However, it’s hard for him to accept that his body 20 years ago isn’t the same as now. About a year ago he had a bad motorcycle accident when I was pregnant. He fractured his thyroid cartilage (his throat area) and let’s just say that many people have died with injuries less than what he had….so like the doc said he’s alive for a reason. When this happened I spoke to him and convinced him that for our child’s sake that he needs to act more his age; So we sold all the motorcycles we had. He recently made new friends, whom I might add are much younger than he is so they have a lot of energy and they tolerate more than my husband does. The other day after he came home from playing golf with his new friends, he wanted to go body boarding with them. The younger guys caught almost all the waves and didn’t think twice about swimming back and forth. My poor husband caught like 3 waves took a break and wend back in, caught 2 more waves and decided to call it a day. His friends kept calling him “grandpa’”. My husband is not that much older than they are but they just wanted to mess with him. On the way home he kept telling me, “I’m getting old. Do I look old? My body isn’t the same as it used to”. Being the great wife that I am I lifted my hubby’s spirit and said “Men are like a great wine,……the older they get the better they are”. Let’s just say he had a smile the rest of the way home!

Back to blogging!

Hey ya’ll,…..I’m back,……you could say I was taking a little holiday break,….but I just took down the Christmas tree, so that means the holidays are over,……it was kind of funny because I put the tree up in October before Halloween,..and yes it was artificial,..can you imagine,…..the only things that would’ve been left by now are the branches and the trunk. So my holidays began back in October,..looooong Christmas…… Anyways, A few weeks ago I thought I was pregnant,…..I thought “CRAP!”,….I mean I want another baby but just not right now,…..imagine almost 3 months without my period. I mean all the home tests came out negative and I didn’t have any symptoms, but I was still taking a crap. Now everything’s back to normal, so hopefully no more surprises.

So I just hope you all had a great time and I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
