Resolutions, Resolutions, Resolutions

Instead, I will say DETERMINED. I have one resolution for this year. I'm not sure, but I think I have mentioned it before, AVOID BEING A PROCRASTINATOR. I feel if I can accomplish that, mostly everything shall fall into place.

I would also like to say "I accomplished ____ this year." We live our normal lives from day to day. Compared to others, I know I am blessed and I do not use all that I have to be more successful. I don't only mean career wise, it has to do with everything. There are so many people that are less fortunate than us, yet they accomplish more than us? I am not in competition, jealous, or envious. The way I am proud of anyone that accomplishes something they thought they couldn't do, I want to feel proud of myself.

Too many "We should haves!" I think that's what keeps us from moving forward. At least me it does. So here's to a new year! A year of success and accomplishments.

To end this on a happy note. I am a very PROUD mommy and wife!! Love you guys!! MUAH!!! Happy endings do exist. (We just saw BEDTIME STORIES today, it is good :)

Yeee-Haaa!!!

Some wore cowboy hats, some borrowed. I for sure borrowed.

We celebrated with family and friends at WINKS this past Saturday the birthday of Belia and Nela. We had a great time. At midnight you are able to ride a mechanical bull!! Some last a while and some fall off right away. That was fun to watch.

Daisy

My kids got a puppy for Christmas!!! My mom brought her on Christmas Eve. And may I add, I am NOT a dog person. But as soon as I saw Daisy, I liked her much. After much debating, Abel & I decided to keep her. She seems to bring such happiness to Ally.

I never thought I'd see the day that Ally, ALLY, would like an animal. She's scared of them! Long story short, if Ally is wearing boots, she's brave. But if she is barefoot, she's on top of the sofas. Adrian is coming around. He will touch her softly for a second, and that's it!

I'm not great at doing vids yet, so bare with me :P I tried editing it, to make it shorter, but couldn't. 

What's up with my LEG???

For a while now, ever so often, my leg cramps up REALLY bad. Something like a Charlie's Horse. "A charlie horse is an uncontrollable muscle contraction, or cramp, in the leg or the foot." Gosh, does it hurt!! So much that I can't walk!!

It happened today after dinner. I did a squat to tie Adrian's shoe lace and after I was done, he took off running to catch up to daddy and Skyla. Boy did my leg cramp up! It was hard for me to get up! I got up, and was hoping Abel would come back to rescue me. All I could do was stand by the table, crack up, and endure the pain. I kept picturing Abel's reaction because I would not come out of the restaurant. I stayed inside for well over 8 minutes! And my family? Waiting in the car :(

The waiter(s) were looking at me like "are you alright ma'am?" or "crazy lady!" Our waiter offered to call Abel, and I said "Nah, he'll come back" Then he started cracking up with me (I hope).

Finally….. I was able to slowly walk out side, with my pain and all. Abel real cool, sitting, waiting in the car. Then when he sees me, he's kinda getting mad at me. Telling me "Hurry up!" I start to laugh again, so he thinks I'm joking! He starts telling me "Quit acting!" "No te hagas!" I couldn't walk!!! Anyways, I got in the car and told him my story. He thought I had stayed behind talking to someone or that I had gone to the RR.

Tonight's episode has been the worst and the longest lasting. I guess I will have to get it checked by an MD. Another episode happened during lunch, Christi thought she was being punked into paying for Sal's and my lunch. She was at the register(looking around for us) and we were at the table. Sal was trying to help me. I believe I was also laughing. For some weird reason, that pain makes me laugh?

P.S. When we got home, Abel did apologize. He was more helpful :) I had to sit for a long time.

Pajama Par-tay!!!

My Skyla loves to watch Sponge Bob and Adrian is totally into the WALL-E movie.
He actually says WANN-E. When we took them to the theatre to see the movie, he sat through the whole thing!!

WALL-E, Madagascar, and SpongeBob are regulars here at our home. Those silly Madagascar penguins!! And Melman!!

The Bean Project

I can still remember doing the same project in school. Ally was so excited! She grew one at school, but the day she brought it home, it broke, so.... she grew another one at home! She would water it, and put in by the window for sunlight. And the pictures above are the end result. I hope she continues to like school as much as she does right now.
