Boo.

Yes.. This is my pumpkin. :) Well, little man and B carved it last night while I was busy cooking Arroz con Gandules. Sooo delic.. I'm really excited about Halloween. Little man is going to be Ghost Rider and we have lot's of activities planned. The town we live in is having a costume parade and arts a crafts, etc. Oh, how could I forget to mention a Halloween Block party.. How awesome is that? I'm more excited than he is. lol Little man also got invited to 2 Birthday parties this weekend at the park near our house on the beach. We will make an appearance for a little bit. I plan on enrolling him in beach flag football this week and I believe Sunday morning is when they practice. He's excited about that. I haven't really been able to enroll him in activities so I'm finally getting around to it. I love seeing him have fun. It's so fulfilling. I gotta get to work. Got lot's to do today. JOB SECURITY. ;)

Almost forgot, I also will be getting my little Zoe a costume. :) You know I'll be posting pics.

Best things in life aren't things..

Ahhh.. Finally, a few minutes to update my blog. I’m thinking about getting the blog press app for my iphone again. I had it before but while doing an update, I lost it. **wooommp, wooommp, wooommp** I have been really sick for the past week and a half. SUCKS HORRIBLY. I really thought I was going to cough out a lung last week. I was coughing so hard I almost puked. (Gross, I know.. True story though.)

Anywho, This past weekend was pretty good, I took little man to the Pumpkin patch. It was so much fun. I took so many pictures of him with the pumpkins, petting the animals, horse riding. J It was awesome. After that, we went to the park for a bit. It was a nice, fun filled day with my little man. Being a mom I can honestly say is one of the most fulfilling things in my life. I love waking him up in the morning to get him ready for school, I love packing his lunch. I love him more than I ever thought I was capable of loving. He keeps me going. He is my ammunition to want to better myself and the quality of our lives. My everything.

Very nicely put...

forty-five thoughts for my daughter and my virtual daughters
By Francesca Lia Block.

i always believed if i had blond hair, pixie face
big breasts
everything would be all right
not realizing that culturally idolized beauty
is not only foolproof
but potentially dangerous

if you believe in your own unconventional beauty
when you are young
you will accomplish twice as much and suffer half so

turn off lightbulbs and light a candle

walk don’t drive

plant a tree

wear sunscreen

dancing is an antidepressant

kindness is the new status symbol

every day please try to eat something green
and something orange
that grow out of the ground

tell me how mad you are
that your father and i parted
i will always listen
though i can’t ever take away the pain

expectations are for what you yourself create

they rarely work when applied to others

turn off the television

tv is a depressant

yoga is an antidepressant

don’t feel guilty about wanting pretty things

they would not be so alluring
if you weren’t supposed to want them
just don’t value them over compassion

use your words even when you are a grown-up
and people no longer think it is entirely acceptable
when you say, that hurt my feelings

if you can digest chocolate eat it sometimes

same goes for ice cream
(i don’t really need to tell you those things do i?)

do your homework because it is part of the game but

don’t spend too much time worrying about grades

fall in love with someone kind who loves your body
and your mind

if you have a dream that won’t let you go, that
tickles your solar plexus, heed it

turn dark feelings into paintings or poetry
or dancing

music is a kind of food

if you are sad talk to a happy woman who loves you
it will always help

move your body when you are sad or angry

avoid the following:
genetically modified ingredients
parabens
sodium lauryl sulfate
mercury in certain fish
neurotic thoughts about food
(is that a contradiction?)

love your curls though they tangle
your pale skin though it can burn in the sun
your nose though it is broader than some
your sturdy legs and feet

forget barbie she does not possess imagination

remember you are a botticelli angel

the planet we live on is perfection

love her like a goddess

love yourself as her daughter

there is a planet full of different kinds of beauty

the idea that only one type of woman is beautiful
is blasphemy

of everything i brought to the world in these
forty-five years
you and your brother are by far the most astounding

because of this i will always love your father

matter never vanishes, only changes

remember that when someone you love dies

your round head on my breast when you were born
is the memory
i will keep with me when i leave this body

when i am gone i will still be near you

this is how i know: when you were born
it was not a meeting
but a reunion

Feeling a little inspired.

For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin -- real life.
But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first,
some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.
At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.
This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness.
Happiness is the way.
So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination. - Souza


I Believe...
That just because two people argue,
doesn't mean they don't love each other..
And just because they don't argue,
doesn't mean they do love each other.

I Believe...
That we don't have to change friends if
we understand that friends change.

I Believe...
That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in
a while and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe...
That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.

I Believe...
That you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life.

I Believe...
That it's taking me a long time
to become the person I want to be.

I Believe...
That you should always leave loved ones with
loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I Believe...
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I Believe...
That we are responsible for what
we do, no matter how we feel.

I Believe...
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I Believe...
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be
done, regardless of the consequences.

I Believe...
That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I Believe...
That my best friend and I can do anything, or nothing, and have the best
time.

I Believe...
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be
the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe...
That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe...
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had,
and what you've learned from them.....and less to do with how many birthdays
you've celebrated.

I Believe...
That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others..
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I Believe...
That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your
grief.

I Believe...
That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we become.

I Believe...
That you shouldn't be so eager to find
out a secret. It could change your life Forever.

I Believe...
Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally
different.

I Believe...
That your life can be changed in a matter of
hours by people who don't even know you.

I Believe...
That even when you think you have no more to give, if
a friend cries out to you........you will find the strength to help.

I Believe...
That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being
I saw this today and thought I would share.


I Believe...
That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

I Believe...
That you should send this to all of the people that you believe in.
I just did.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything.
Thank you God for all the wonderful people who help us throughout the
journey of life.

New beginnings.

Goodmorning blog world. It's 6:57 am and I am sitting in my car outside of my new job. :) besides the fact that I am an hour early, I am very very excited. What a blessing it was to be able to find such a great position. The schedule is Monday thru Friday from 8 to 5. Gives me so much more time to be a mommy and a gf. Love it. No more tacky orang uniform at hoots. As much ad I thought I liked that place, I've learned to hate it. The people that work there, the managers, the people that eat there. Just not my place. The money when I started working there was pretty good but as of lately it hasn't been that way. Anywho, I wanted to post a small blog while I sat sipping on my coffee. ;)

Im always early to everything. I left my house expecting traffic. Fortunately there was none. Wishing everyone a fabulous Tuesday.

My munchkin goes back to school today.

As much as I enjoyed him having the summer off, I'm so glad things will be back to "normal" now. :) I'm anxious to meet his new teacher. Hopefully this year it's a better one than last year. Last night I felt like the best mom in the world. Last minute, I ran to Target to get him a bakpack and a lunchbox. Mind you, his dad told me 3 weeks ago he bought him a lunchbox and was sending it. Surprise, surprise, I never got anything. Anywho, I was at target and luckily I found him a clone wars backpack. THEN., I walked over to the lunchbox section and seeing it was half empty I thought I'd have to come back in a few weeks, WRONG.. There it was, the last clone wars lunchbox. Lol I felt so lucky. It worked out because I just bought him a clone wars Jedi insulated thermos cup. I kbow, I'm a dork but being a mommy, these things make you happy because you know that when you kid sees it, it'll make them happy. So right now, I'm a half awake ball of happiness. Lol :) we went shoe shopping yesterday too and got some great deals at Marshall. well, I'm off to take him to school. Hope everyone has a fabulous Monday.






$42.00 for both. How sweet is that!?? :)

Ugh. My munchkin is getting soooo big. Going into first grade already..



My <3..

Gotta have a sense of humor.

Hello blog world. Hope everyone is doing great. I have been ok. Been better. This past weekend was a nightmare. :( I crashed my car. Totalled it. Well, everyone thinks it's totalled but in waiting on the insurance adjuster to take a look. What's worst is the accident was my fault. I took a light. Not purposely. Good news is everyone involved is ok. It couldve been way way worst. I may be getting a new car if my cars totalled. :) that's the positive outcome. I'm excited about that. Hopefully this whole situation proves to have a reason. Maybe a blessing in disguise. Who knows. Only time will tell.
