Friday it is

Well, my hubby's 1st week at his new job is almost over... he survived!! This time, my hubby really looks like this important executive person in a company... dressing professional and carrying his laptop to work and home (I still haven't 'played' with that new laptop lol). Poor hubby, this new job at the Pharmaceuticals is very different from the Institute... lots of work and lots of meetings to go to. I just hope he survives. I would LOVE to work in that Pharmaceutical company either at one of it's labs or in the vivarium. Aaaah, I just miss working in a lab.


So yesterday, my hubby gave me that Starbucks gift card his work gave him the other day. Frappuccinos and flavored coffees here I go lol. Screw the calories!! I LOVE Starbucks!! I'm glad my hubby doesn't like Starbucks lol.

I got a birthday party invitation yesterday from my friend Paty. She's doing a birthday party for his soon-to-be 2 yr old, Nathan, at this pizza place next Saturday the 12th. I'm going to emailed my other friend, Martha, to see if she's going also. There's a high possibility that I might go. My kids could have a fun time there eating pizza and playing... fun stuff for the kids. Also, a great opportunity to see my friends (which I haven't seen in quite some time now).

JD's coming this evening to stay with us for the weekend. I hope the brings cool movies to watch. Speaking of movies, I totally forgot about the two free movie tickets my hubby gave me that I still have. I want to take Joel to see that "Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who" movie. Hopefully, I can take him this weekend or next weekend. I have to use those free tickets before they expire... which I don't know if they expire and when.

I need to keep updating this blog often. It's fun!!

9th Anniversary

9 years ago, I was in Las Vegas with Scot trying to get out things together and get married later in the day. We had the opportunity to stay in the beautiful hotel and casino of the Bellagio. We got married later in that day 9 years ago in a beautiful chapel. We stayed in Las Vegas for 4 days. We picked April 1st because we actually were foolish to be getting married that quickly. Looking back all these years, I don't regret any single thing. I'm very happy with my life, with my husband, and with our little family. I don't think I will change a thing if I had the power to do it.

Happy 9th Wedding Anniversary!!

Scot went to pick up JD so he can come over and babysit the kids... while Scot and I can go out for a little Anniversary fun... meaning, out for dinner and to the casino lol. My hubby got home like around 3ish from his 2nd orientation at his new job in the Pharmaceuticals and surprised me with some flowers... 9 roses for our nine years together (that was very sweet). He gave me an early anniversary present... an iPod Touch. I gave him an anniversary card and a Bass Pro Shops gift card so he can go crazy shopping in there. I didn't want to buy him a regular gift card visa/mc 'cause I want him to use that gift FOR HIM and not on us or me. So, he was happy with my little gifts.

I must end this here. It's almost 7 pm and the kids dinner is done (the timer just went off) and my hubby is due to come back with JD any minute now.

Boy, I need to update this blog of mine more often ;-).

Rainy & Cloudy Day

It's been quite awhile since I last updated my blog. Once again, here I am... updating it. Finally, we got some rainy weather today... cloudy, chilly, and rainy. I love these kind of days. I love staying home and listening to the rain fall and hitting the windows and the roof... such a relaxing day.

My hubby went grocery shopping this morning... so we got our groceries for the next week (yaay!).

I went to my mom's this past weekend with the kids. I actually went on a Friday after picking up Joel from school. We had a great time!! My mom has this adorable puppy that's one month old... I forgot her name 'tho. The new puppy is Regina's sister (Regina's 7 months old). The only problem is that Regina doesn't like the new puppy and they need to keep them separate. The puppy's going to be there for a short period of time until she's able to take the vaccines and Agustina's hubby is crossing her to the US to give her to some family members of him... they just want to cross her the legal way with her vaccination record (kinda like a dog's passport lol).

I really got sick on Monday. God!! I don't remember when was the last time I got this sick like that. I woke up with chills, the feeling of throwing up, very tired, I just wanted to lay in bed, I lost my appetite, headache, aches & pains in my whole body, and I felt I was going to faint every time I had to do something. That day, I was in bed the whole day. Had the strength to take care of the kids and take Joel to school... then go to the store to get necessities that couldn't wait. When I came back, I had to lay down... Seth wanted to play playstation so I let him played and I went to bed; thank goodness!! Seth then came to the bedroom and stayed with me playing and watching tv... he then felt asleep with me. When my hubby came home, he bought me some medicine to take and thank God for him that he let me rest and he just took charge and took care of the kids and dinner. The next day, I was feeling A LOT better; thank God!! I was able to function a little normal and I could finally eat something. My sickness only lasted for one day.

On Tuesday/Wednesday, Joel got something in his left eye that it swolled up and it was red... it wasn't Pink Eye nor Sty. Thank goodness his eye is getting a lot better and the swelling is going down. Joel went to school as normal and I'm happy the school didn't called me telling me I have to pick him up :).

3 pounds lost!

I only lost 3 pounds on my first week on my weight loss plan. I know I could've done way better than 3 pounds (I've done it before). All I know is that this is the start of my 2nd week and I hope I do good and I stay on the plan.

Not much to update 'tho.

The bug

Yesterday was really a day for me. I DO NOT LIKE BUGS at all. I can stand little bugs like spiders, bees, lady bugs and all of those that are not creepy looking. But, when it comes to roaches, beetles, and all those creepy and yuky looking bugs... I can't stand them and I get into a panic mode when I see one. I DON'T LIKE BUGS!!

So yesterday, I was in the bedroom and all of a sudden Joel comes into the bedroom with a scared face saying to me "there's something in the kitchen" LOL. I was like "huh, whatcha talking about boy?" I asked him what it was and he just couldn't exactly tell me what it was. Dear God, my mind was thinking all sorts of things like... is it a snake?... is it a lizard?... is it a BUG?... what the hell it could be that scared the crap out of Joel? Joel stayed on the bed while I go for inspection; slowly to not scared "the thing". I couldn't see nothing at first. Then, all of a sudden, this HUGE bug comes flying towards me. ARGH!!! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT???? I ran to the living room like a child LMAO. But truly, I was in a panic. I DO NOT LIKE BUGS!! This thing was flying all over the kitchen and part of the dinning room. I wanted to get the broom but the dang thing wouldn't let me. I was afraid that IT could land on my hair LOL... like that freakin' June Bug that landed once in my hair. I wanted to screamed but at the same time I didn't wanted because I didn't wanted to scared Joel even more... he was scared enough of the thing to begin with; LOL. Geeeze, my heart was beating soo fast and hard. I had to do something. I finally got a hold of the ants Raid and when the bug was hitting things (which sounded soo loud when it hit things 'eeeeeek') it fell into the sink and then came out flying again. It was horrible LOL. It then saw the kitchen window and he wanted to get out... I then sprayed him with the ants Raid and I think I used all of it; LOL. I just wanted to make sure it got killed. I didn't wanted that thing inside my home. I DO NOT LIKE BUGS!!!

Finally, the bug was in it's last minutes of it's life. I got the courage to grabbed it with the twizzers LOL. It looked like a huge flying roach to me but at the same time it looked like a beetle. I was afraid it could be a roach... I DON'T LIKE ROACHES either. I went online in search for some pictures to compared it to some roaches. Looked similar but it also looked like a beetle. It's antenas were different as the roaches'. I saved it so that my hubby could take a look at it and then confirm what it was. My hubby got home and he saw the thing and he just told me "IT WAS A BEETLE"... thank goodness!!! No roach!!! LOL!!! Man, I hate bugs!! I have no idea how that thing got inside. Hopefully, it won't happen again with another yuky bug like that. Yeah, now I laugh about the incident but it wasn't funny at the time that I wanted to do something; LMAO. It would've been soo hilarious if someone would've video taped me in action with the bug. LOL. Joel even was scared after it was dead LOL... I grabbed the beetle with the tweezers and it fell to the floor and Joel was with me... I screamed when it fell and Joel screamed too and runned to the bedroom again LMAO.

I do not want to experience anything like this again. Did I mentioned that I HATE BUGS??
