They Call me "Mommy"

Well Luis finally got the over time they have been promising him for like FOREVER and EVER..goodness me!.. We are very thankful that he did.. Now we can pay back the loan we took out to get the new house.. WOOT..!...I miss him dreadfully tho..My day is quite weird without him being here till late at night.
Gavi is doing very good potty training. Its been 3 days in panties. No accidents.. diaper only at bed time and naptime.. I am still telling her to go potty, she hasn't quite gone to the bathroom all on her own yet.. but we are working on it. Mommy is so proud..
Leann and the baby moved out. I am sad. but she has to do what her mom says as she is still 17.. But they still come by every couple days so its all good..
WE are still having problems at church.. The pastor, and 2 other actually came by one night and talked to me and Luis about some stuff.. We explained everything and told him everything. He understands. There is one person that we got really close to that has gone thru the church and spread rumors and gossip about us. Not just about us. Many people have complained about her. She was my best friend for 2 years. then she became best friends with another family in the church and told them everything and anything about us that she had no business telling.. then when they dissed her she tried coming back to us and I was having no part of it. I was nice to her. my kids adore her.. but she when the other family took her back she once again dissed me for them.. Its like she was playing cat and mouse.. Then when she came over with the pastor she blamed it on her stupidity and she doesn't know when she should keep her mouth shut and not to. I told her that was a lovely excuse.. She has caused strife between us and other families. but saying outright lies... She pretends to be holy but yet her kids constantly rat her out..I'm tired of people like this. They should be disciplined. See... The people who are wrongly judged are excluded from churches and the ones who no one wants to cross who SHOULD be excluded are let free to do as they please.. NOT COOL.. Im done with it..and I'm tired of it..
On a much other lovely note. I'm excited about spending Thanksgiving with Luis' dad and brothers. ITs been over 20 yrs since Luis has spent a holiday with his dad. He says I'm his good luck charm cuz he never came around until the day we met.. WOOT.. I rock..lol.lol.So I will be around a bunch of Mexicans for turkey day.. YES!!!..just my cup of tea...lol..oh yeah. and there is one other white girl.. Luis sister in law.. so we will have fun together.. I just know it.
well..
I must get CharlieRose off to school..

Wow.. I really don't know what to say right now. I have found out some things about some people that I love dearly. not today. but some time ago. I just don't understand. you do realize it's a small world. I would have found out eventually. Even though you tried to hide it from me..I have been accused of many many things. some true. some not. No one bothered to ask me my side of the story. but yet you have done and are still doing the same if not worse of what you judged me for. not cool. quite hypocritical if I say so myself. I have come to realize that the more better and holier that you make yourself out to be the harder you fall... The Lord almighty wants us to be the best we can be for HIM. not for anyone else. There is no show that we should put on. We should not strive to please our family, our parents, the world, our neighbors, our spouse but the LORD. if HE is happy with us then we are living in the right. We should do what we beleive the Lord wants us to behave and act. not how someone else tells us they think the Bible tells us to act.. AND it should not matter what everyone else wants of us. I do not understand. I've tried to hide the real me to make many people happy.. I refuse to any longer. I am me. and for that I refuse to apologize...
From now on. I will post what I want to post. I will not be careful of what I post so that I hurt no ones feeling. I will write what I want. it is my blog. if you do not want to read or look then don't. your choice. but it is my choice to blog about what I choose to. This is not said in anger or bitterness.. nothing of the sort is going on. I think It is hightime that you see the REAL me.. I will post what pics I feel like showing to the world.. I will not hide anymore. if you don't like it.. then go do the dishes, because I'm not doing them for you.

ok sorry its been so long since the last post..
life happens..lol..
Leann has left to go help a friend for a few weeks.. so that means more tim eon the computer but less time actually talking to another human being.. I actually liked her being around. she is fun. she likes the same things I like and its really fun having another girl here..
We have been on the house hunt but the houses are always in the wrong school district.. We really don't want CR to go to PA..so we will just have to wait and see what happens..our lease here is up on the 31frst so I am sure God will find us something by then we just have to be patient.....
Luis and I have been talking about switching churches. We still have not decided. But its a topic we go back to quite often.. UGH.. is all I am saying about that..lol..
Life here is pretty much the same. That's for sure. I am actually learning more things and spending more time in the word lately. When I find things in the WORD that I see that I am doing wrong, I change.. not because someone else has told me to. but because I have seen it for myself and the LORD has convicted me all HIMself. I like this new church I visit on Wednesday nights.. but its not Baptist. so I know we will never join. but its nice to hear someone preach from the KJV for once.. Someone that preaches like my brother. I guess I just got used to him and no other preacher will ever compare, although Pastor Paul Ryan did come pretty dang close..lol..
I miss Freeport..
ALOT.
but I still don't know if we could handle moving back.
I'm just all confused right now.. It's really hard waiting and watching. It's really hard waiting for God to show you what HE wants and not what WE want....blah..

Wow.
It's been quite a while since I've posted..
There's been so much going on the last month. Then again so little. I don't really feel like posting half the time, and when I do I don't get a turn at the computer.
my mom in law and her son have been here for exactly a month. We will not go into that story AT ALL.. Also Brayden and his mom Leann have been staying here.. They really don't bother us too much. But Brayden bothers Charlie. he doesn't sleep all night so when he wakes up in the middle of the night crying Charlie gets mad. " Mommy, can you get that baby out of my room"..LOL..It's kinda funny but at the same time I feel bad for her. Gavi slept all night by the time I put her in her room..
Blah.
The girls party is Saturday at 2 pm at the church. I hope they have fun and get lotsa gifts..hehe.. I think we are just gonna make chips and dip and have a cake..and play a few games for the kiddos..I've been lazy and haven't done much for it yet..LOL..
But I got my friend Ashley to make the cake.WOOt.lol.
CharlieRose got a nintendo DS and we haven't got Gavi anything just yet. She won't notice yet..heehee..
well I must run and do stuff.. no one is in my house today.WOOT..

Well...
I must say I think Satan is running around on overtime the past month or so.. Things have been off with lots of people. Last night Luis and I had a big argument, The first in about 3 years.. My mama always said never go to bed angry. And Luis and I have told other couples the same thing. It does work. And we did stay up till almost 3am this morning talking and discussing and arguing..I'm sad that we fought. but I am glad we talked about things and brought up issues.. I know without a shadow of a doubt that we are both in love with each other and that we have to work at our marriage. But I am glad that we are working at it and not just giving up like lots of couples do. 'What God has yoked together, let no man tear apart". And I believe this with all my heart and soul.. you should let no one and NOTHING come between you and your spouse..
ok..
im done venting..lol.
but I know that Satan will not win and he can keep walking cuz this marriage will stand the test of fire..

I ran across a new recipe the other day..
its called.
Mexican Casserole.
ITs AWESOME..doesn't take too long to make. its yummy. and Luis loves it.
Here's the ingredients and the pics..ALl you do is layer the ingredients and warm it up.
The hamburger meat is cooked first..
First you put down tortillas, then 1 can of corn and one can of beans. Meat, Cheese. taco sauce. Then more tortillas, corn, beans, taco sauce and more cheese.

blah..
well we ad lotsa plans for this weekend.. but I guess we didn't need to do anything cuz we all got sick at one point.. Throwing up and stuff.. Me and Luis didn't eat anything for 2 days.. and Gavi was throwing up too.. All Charlierose did was sleep..
but. I think everyone is better today.. the kids are eating eggs and toast. and daddy went to work.. but now its raining and I have clothes in the laundry mat.. grrr..lol.. but its cool cuz its making it cooler outside and not so hot. so I can't complain too terribly bad.
School starts soon..I've been trying to get Charlie new clothes when I catch them on sale. she really wore out all her clothes last year and she grew 2 inches..I'm so proud of her..and her hair is growing so pretty. We decided to let her bangs grow out and its Beautiful. And Gavi needs her bangs trimmed again. she hates it in her face..Im so proud of my girls. and I'm so happy the Lord gave me 2 daughters.. I am very content and happy with our life right now.. God has blessed us in unexpected ways..
well until latersz...

A boss guy at Luis' job just hung himself..

pray Luis and everyone there is ok...

i have no details other then that..

update..

his name was scott..
we don't know why he hung himself AT WORK.. but yeah. its a big riot at work right now..

update....

it was a plant operator..they suspect he got a phone call or email and just tripped out and hung himself..
there will be a BIG safety meeting and counselors tomorrow for everyone. and they sent everyone home..

ok so for those of you that don't know..
I dropped my phone in the bathtub Tuesday night..and it just wouldn't come back to life.. so..we had insurance on it though.. so I was supposed to get my new one last night at the corporal Beaumont store... and they said they didn't have it.. that type of phone has been on back order for the past 2 months..
I told them well " Why don't you ever answer the phone?"...They said they just don't cuz 94 % of the time you need to come into the store anyways..( yes he REALLY said that) I told them that was stupid that I had been calling them for 2 days to make sure they had my dang phone so I wouldn't have to travel all the way over there in the heat and waste gas just for them to tell me they didn't have my phone.. He said he was sorry but they just don't answer the phone.. and whats sad about it is ANOTHER cricket store had given me their number and told me good luck cuz they don't answer the phone for them either... ARGH.. so....this morning I called and got Cricket to mail me a phone AND filed a complaint against the store.. I hope he gets in BIG trouble because that's just totally stupid...
anyways..
so

i paid an extra 15 bucks to get my phone in 2 days.. but.. i doubt it will even be here till monday.. so.. oh well..

well this past weekend we were at my mom and dad's house in Freeport. Charlie likes taking pics. As I am sure you can tell..lol.. so any of these pics that Charlie is NOT in she took..
enjoy.

Well Charlie and me and Gavi went to the pool this morning. But Gavi was whining a lot. I think she doesn't feel so good. Daddy didn't go to work this morning either. He was in the bathroom all morning and he says his tummy hurts bad. for him to be in bed this long really mean he doesn't feel good. he is rarely in bed past 8 unless we stayed up late talking. Which we do a lot..lol..we like to gossip to each other..lol..don't laugh..lol.
Anyways. so Gracie and her 10000 kids ( ok she only has 5) and Luis' baby sis Iris are coming over in a few to go swimming..yay.. Gavi is napping so I'm trying to keep the house quiet for Daddy..
Charlie is practicing her letters every day.. So far we have just been doing A and Bs and she ca write her own name..
well more laterz.. gotta go..

I was showing CharlieRose my brothers James and Jeff and Jason's and Jeremy's facebook.. I was trying to get her to recognize the faces and tell me their names.. well she has uncle Jason down.. but is still trying to work on the other ones. I showed her Aunt Michele's pic and explained that she is the one that made her dress and she was all like " oo oo..thats cool. can I go to her house? "....lol... my daughter is so silly.. so once she decides she likes you.. its to you house she wants to go..
Well I am so glad that we have a pool here at the apartments. Its easy free entertainment for my kids. Gracie and her 5 kids are coming with us this morning..so this should be FUN!!...lol..
gonna go out to eat with some girlfriends after church tonight.. WOOT..hehe..
well.. gotta get everyone dressed..
laterz..

Caressa ~n~ Luis...

Well today is the last day of school for my CharlieRose.. We got up at 7:45 and she was dressed and out the door by 8...sniff sniff.. she is getting so much older on me.
We are gonna celebrate her doing such a good job tomorrow by going to the beach.. WOOT..a few friends from church and some neighbors are going as well. so It will be FUN FUN..
Here is some pix of my girl and her teacher. I'll upload the videos from her program sometime laterz..

I want another baby...
but I don't want to get fat again. I am just now losing the weight and look good for a change.
I keep having dreams of babies..
I find myself watching the baby show on discovery health.
I wanted Brayden this morning but his grandma had him.
grr.
my friends keep having pregnancy scares..im actually slowly getting rid of baby "stuff".. and its making me sad..there is nothing in this place smaller then a 2T ( except for a stash of Braydens clothes)..
After Charlie outgrew stuff I got rid of everything so glad that she was outgrowing the baby stuff..
now I miss it.
I miss breastfeeding.. like really bad..its a wonderful bond that you can never imitate. I miss burping and changing and giving baths.. CharlieRose is such a big girl. She doesn't need me.. But it makes my day when Gavi wakes up and I pick her up out of the crib and she gives me the biggest hug ever.. She is still babyISH.. but she can walk and feed herself..
I hate the stretch marks. I hated the pain.. I hated the 9 long months you have to wait for the dang thing to come out..I miss having a baby...
I want another baby..


but. I am also glad that I can't have anymore.
maybe someone will let me adopt theirs...
anyone???? lol

Hello everyone.
It seems as though the time between blogs gets longer n longer.. forgive me..lol.
This past weekend was oh so busy.. I am glad it's over but today seems like Monday..grrr..
Friday night Luis n me stayed up late watching t.v. Then Saturday morning we hung out with friends. Saturday night was one of my girlfriends birthday celebration so we all went out to eat for that. Sunday was of course church..and Monday night me and another girlfriend went to the movies..So today I was busy cleaning and doing laundry and catching up on stuff..CharlieRose has a program at school on Thursday Then its Early Release day on Friday..Then SUMMER.. I'm excited to have my lil girl home all day now. But I am worried she won't be happy..(its not like I can send her away to a relatives house for weeks at a time like some parents do..) She loves school. She loves her teacher. She doesn't like the weekend cuz she can't go to school. I mean this girl keeps her room spotless every day cuz she can't go to school unless its clean..I guess we will just have to walk to the library every few days and have school at the kitchen table..
Her teachers and speech therapist say she has improved quite a lot since October and are very proud of her.. everyone loves my kid..its awesome..lol
Gavi is being a brat. she knows what the potty chair is and how to use it.. but she's not wanting to.. she sits down for a second then gets up and claps and says YAY.. then wets herself a few minutes later..So.. We have given it a break for a month or 2. and Then we will try again..
Granma Ana is supposed to come stay with us for a while in a week or 2. I can honestly say I love my mother in law. She is the bestest.. Yes we will have to give up our privacy and a few other selfish things.. but its ok.. We miss her and my girls miss her too.....
Well I had better go clean up the kitchen from supper..
till the next time I get bored..lol

A lady from church gave Charlie some of her daughters outgrown clothes. they are SO pretty, modest, and adorable.. Charlie says this one is her favorite. So I let her wear it to school today.

Mommy and her girls on Mothers day..

Well..
Nothing new going on really.. Been spending lots of time watching Brayden.. he's ADORABLE...heehee
we went to the beach last Saturday. Luis put sunscreen on my legs and missed the back of one leg..you can see his 2 hand prints..lol..Luis got really burnt on one arm.. my poor baby..he got water bubbles..but today he said it feels better..
We are trying to save to buy a house. We think that we will move back to Brazoria county.. So however long it takes for that to happen is how long you all have to wait for us..lol..
well I have a meeting at Charlie's school tomorrow.. so pray that everything will be ok with her.. and maybe she doean't have to be in special ed classes anymore..
