God give me Strength

I've had a wild week, first Bubbs was sick with a stomach bug then Audrey got it and she's finally better! she was sooooo sick and had a high fever. I had to miss 3 days of school cause she wouldn't be accepted back into daycare till she was fever free for 24 hours. Then today (friday) Bubbs didn't have school so they were driving me nuts! Naty worked till really late again and I was left with them fighting and crying the whole day. I had to jump in a couple of times, LOL. They're really good kids too but I don't know what happened today.

Naty got home so late and ate, played with the kids a little, took a shower and went to bed. I feel bad for him cause he's beat! He says the job is winding down now and he'll be home more often starting next wed. or thurs. We'll see! he's been saying that since the beginning of the year!

Oh forgot to mention that it was my chubby bear's b-day on the 10th! I had him a dinner and everyone came and we had a good time. He was mostly excited about his friend Frank coming cause that guy always leaves us hanging. He was so happy that he came by. I put up a big sign that said Happy B-day and bought balloons too. Then I got home cooked and cleaned, all while Audrey was sick! I'd run back and forth. My poor baby. Oh when we went to party city she wanted to barf in there cause she got scared of the halloween stuff. Poor thing, she's said, "mommy I wanna throw up cause I'm scared mommy, lets leave, please" so we walked to target while they blew up the balloons, she was scared out of her mind! But overall all the hard work was worth it cause 3 days later naty is still thanking me. I love him :-)

I also started crocheting a bit. I remember my granny teaching me when I was younger but I didn't remember so Naty took us to Michael's cause I was determined to learn again so we came across this nice lady that taught me really fast in the store. I got the beginning steps but then forgot the rest so Monica and Jose were down visiting that day so Monica taught me again. I'm now on my 3rd scarf. First I did one for myself, then one for Audrey and now this one is for Bubbs teacher. He wanted one for her so bad so I had to. He keeps checking up on me and making sure that I'm still doing it, he knows me too good!

My nephew was also born this week (10/8/07) and he weighed 6 lbs. 11 oz. we still haven't met him since the kids have been sick. I don't want him getting sick cause of us so I'd rather play it safe. I'm so anxious to see him so hopefully Naty gets home early tomorrow so that we can meet him finally!

Let's see, what else?!?!? Oh I'm having a lil Halloween get together on Halloween day, its just something that I love doing. I make italian type food and order pizza and me and the kids just work on sweets the whole time till the evening comes, then they go trick or treating with everyone while I stay behind and pass out candy. Oh and last year a house down the street had a really good haunted house so we're hoping they do it again this year. It was honestly the best one I've ever been too, it was soooooooooo good! Then we'll watch some movies once everyone gets back. I wish it was a weekend cause then I could have had a real party with music and all but Arlene is having a party on the 27th so thats good enough! Actually Eddie is having his halloween party tomorrow in fresno but we're not going after all, we were gonna go with Alex to Vegas for Mayra's b-day but he ended up canceling and Naty's working now so no biggie. I hate being home alone, I get so bored, hopefully he doesn't leave me all day, wwwwaaaaahhhhh!!

anyway, its really late and I'm still up washing clothes. I better go get my beauty sleep now. see ya soon.

It's Friday

and Audrey and I didn't go to school cause we're coming down with something, well actually Aud has a cold and I have some type of fever......sucks!

I had the best news yesterday when Naty said he wasn't working Saturday, damn he never takes a break and it drives me nuts! I have a paper and 2 test to study for, for next week so that will be a big help. We were also invited to a quincera and someone's surprise B-day party (not saying) but not sure if we'll make it to either. If Naty took the day off then that means he wants to be productive, so he'll probably want to work on the house, who knows?!?

So I guess everyone is going to Eddie's Halloween party but Naty was wanting to go to Vegas for his B-day but I honestly don't want to go anywhere, its so hard being in school cause I have a test that following weekend and I'm already stressing it. I should just stay home.

Last weekend we went to meet Michelle's baby for the first time. That poor lil guy has been through so much in his lil life. I was glad we finally got to meet him and he's too cute, he looks like a lil man, I wanted to squeeze him, hahahahaha, poor baby, I know that he's getting way better though and thats all that matters. Carol had a dinner for all of us and it was nice to chill with family, oh and it was raining! my favorite thing ever! love rain and Pat looks like he's getting better, at one time he looked out of it then he ate and was back to his clown self. I hope he's taking care of himself.

OHH and while we were at Pat and Carol's Bubbs was at Disneyland with his nina. Man won't even go into what happened that morning........ggggggrrrrrrr, lets just say me and Naty got into it. Damn we were so mad at each other, hahahahahahaha, I wanted to pimp slap him and I know he wanted to do the same to me, but we made up about an hour later. :-)

I'm hoping I get to see Savannah (Vanessa's Baby) today, so I'm going to call her later, I know she'll be at the quince tomarrow but like I said don't know if we'll go. I miss that lil girl, shes the cutest thing! and Our lil niece Lorena too!! she's so big already! she's hilarious and laughs so easily. Oh and can't forget lil Mia, that lil chubby thing, she loved Naty last week but didn't want to come with me, I made her come with me and she kept pulling on my ear ring, ouch!!! we'll prob. see our niece today, oh and Veronica is about to pop, she's being induced on Oct. 11th so we'll have our nephew soon. I already went crazy on the shopping for him :-)

Well I better get back to this house, everything is calling me. I just need to clean up a bit then I can relax.......

Audrey gave us a scare

My mom picked up the kids (yesterday) to take them to a birthday party, I wanted to spend the day cleaning and mostly organizing the office since I would be starting school tomarrow (Tues). So I stood behind and got to work once they left, about an hour and a half later my mom calls me saying Audrey is acting weird, somewhat lethargic and not wanting to talk. At first I thought it was my fault cause I had given her rotted milk (by accident!) but the symptoms sound more like heatstroke or mild heatstroke at least. Well my mom rushed her home (after wetting her and giving her juice) and she seemed a lil tired, I then put a wet towel on her head and fed her ravioli, she ended up eating 3/4 of the can! she's not a big eater so thats a lot for her to eat! I also started to think maybe I didn't feed her enough in the afternoon and she could have been hungry on top of the heat. My poor baby.......here's a pic of her after watching 2 movies when she came home and finally took a nap.
