Work

On Monday I was asked by my mom's boss to help them out for 7 days at the office. I said OK. My sister and brother will be watching the monkeys while I help out. Today she called me again to ask me if I could work until July 31, because people are leaving on vacation and they need a replacement. The only problem is that my sister might be starting a new job and she won't be able to watch the kids. I really don't want to put all that responsibility to my brother. Another problem that I have is that I host a CO-OP every 2 weeks, Jose can help me next week but he might be going back to Chicago on the following week, what will I do then. It would be nice to have some extra money. I don't want to put my kids in a daycare, because it just wouldn't make sense to pay daycare. It so ridiculously expensive. I also don't want my kids to get sick either. I've been thinking of mt sister in law also but I think that she is in school full time this semester. Any suggestions? Does anyone know of a cheap babysitter?

Things are not so bad.

It is day 2 without Jose and things are good. Anthony has been sleeping in our bed. He has been waking up late which is great. Gaby is the one that has been waking up early, which is not usually what happens.
I am excited about today, Monkey Doodle starts gymnastics. I hope things go well. At the end of the summer he can start soccer, and in January he can start T-Ball.

Lately my kids have been hilarious. Gaby is not your usual girlie girl. She thinks it is funny when she farts. Anytime she does it she says "Oh peo!" (peo is fart in Spanish) and then starts laughing. I love her laugh.
Last night Anthony wanted the Nintendo DS, I told him he couldn't have it. He also wanted to wear a shirt that has Wall-E on it, and he didn't want to go to sleep because he wanted to watch TV. So he says "No puedo poner camisa de Wall-E, no puedo jugar DS, no puedo ver Spongebob. I can't do anything. geez!" The way he said it was so funny that I had to call Jose to tell him what he did. I think it is so awesome how well his vocabulary is coming together.

AGGH!

I can't believe this. I just dropped off Jose at the airport for a business trip to Chicago. I am not looking forward to the next four days. I was ok with it until both of the kids got diarrhea, right before we dropped him off. I have no idea what caused it. What else can go wrong this weekend?

Sleepy

Last night was a tough night. I had my neighbor and sister in law over to watch the season finale of Grey's Anatomy. They are the two loudest people I know, so of course Anthony thought we were having a party. He did not go to sleep until almost 12 a.m. The worst part was that he slept in our bed because he would freak whenever I told him to go to his room. Poor Jose slept on the couch. Even though we have a king size bed, our little 3 1/2 yr old takes up most of the bed. I am not sure how he does that. This morning I woke up to a gasp and then "Mami, it's morning. Wake Up, Wake up." at 6:30 am. This is what he looked like this morning to me.( this a picture taken by Anthony of himself.)

I need to know. When do kids start sleeping in? I need my sleep.

It's been a while....

I have been pretty busy. We have had 5 yes 5 birthdays in the month of May. It started off with Jose's 30th Birthday Party, the next day was my brother 16th birthday, two days later my Mother in Law, that next weekend was Gaby's 2nd Birthday and mother's day(on the same day), and lastly Jose's dad's birthday was yesterday. It just has been to many birthday. I am so glad that it is over. Anthony is getting a little confused to see that there has been a lot a birthday's, so much that has been walking around with his birthday pin he got last year at Disney and is saying that today is his birthday. He has also been asking for his Lightning McQueen birthday cake.

Every weekend we have something going on and I have neglected my garden. I have 4 tomatoes growing. I have to remove the plant from the pot because I think that the roots are too hot in there. The thing is the place where I am going to plant them has to be leveled and it is just a lot of work. I just don't have the time. and it is very difficult with two crazy toddlers. I think I might start on it this weekend at least cleaning the area out.

I can't believe that my princess turned two on Sunday. We really don't have babies anymore. That is very sad to me, but not sad enough to have another little one. :) I am looking forward to next summer when Monkey Doodle can start school. Gaby is talking a lot the other day I asked her what her name was and she said, and I am not joking Jose was there too and heard it, "princess". I said Gaby your name is princess and she "si, yo princess". It was hilarious to hear that come out of her. She lets you know what she wants. We had a small princess party for her at home, with Tinkerbelle cupcakes. She did not want princess cupcakes. She was yelling at the supermarket. "BELLE, BELLE, BELLE", so that is what she got.



Well that is it for now. I am going to try and update everyday even if it a small post.
