Meetings!!!

After a long day at work we had a meeting with our boss. It was not a nice meeting but at least he paid half of our salary. Not the best news but at least and for the moment we received something.

After the staff meeting the girls and I went home and got showers, checked their backpack and complete some homework, ate and went back to our school for another meeting. This particular meeting was with a group of parents that are going to help in the fundraising area.

When we got back home checked the last things and got prepared to sleep. Definitely, a long and exhausted day. And if you count that one of the girls had problems to sleep well, it was a longgggggggggggggggggggg nighttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Yes, it means how wonderful was our day. So sad, we have to go to work tomorrow but at least I'm hoping to receive my paycheck.

Annie

Sunday at home!!!!!

Today we missed Pablo's Christmas party (they had to reschedule it for today) because he didn't feel good. He woke up at 10:30 and by 11:00 he went to bed again and slept until 2:30. Thanks God when he woke up he was feels better. So, we stayed home and just relax a little bit.

I cleaned the house and did the laundry. We  also studied with the girls. I'm so happy that tomorrow is another free day, yay me!!!

Annie

We played Hed Banz!!!

Their faces are for: I'm going to win!!

My Fiona foots, ha!!!

Rain!!!!!!!

Rain, rain, rain and more rain is what we got today. As always Pablo has worked until noon and then we laid around the house. One thing we did was search and begins the process of planning our summer vacations.

At night, we went to Church and enjoyed some time with friends after Church. Our church celebrated a special evening and we saw a great performance by a group of kids.

Annie

Proud Mommy!!!!

Today I received the girls progress report and they did an amazing job. They worked so hard because sometimes third grade is not a piece of cake.

I'm a proud mommy. Love my girls!!

Keep working, we are half way.

God bless them!!!!

January 15, 2015!!!

Just for my record, the president of the company that administrate the school where I work keep our salary because he don't have money to paid our salary.

They are so different!!!!!

My girls are so cute but so different. Sofia loves dresses, skirts, shine, heels and every single girly stuff. Paola in the other hand prefers pants, skirts, no halter, and sometimes, well rarely, dresses.

Definitely, is a truly adventurous and glamorous way to see them pick their clothes.

Annie

First day of school!!!!

Well today was the first day of school for the second semester. For the first time I didn't took a picture of the girls on their first day, boo!! 

They had a great day but started with lots of work. We can't wait for the semester to finish (specially me).

Annie

Last day of Christmas break for the girls!!!!

Today was the last day of winter break for the girls. During the last three days (last Thursday, Friday and today) my mom took care of them while Pablo and I worked. It was a blessing that she took care of them and not to had them at school with me because I had meetings and cleaned my classroom.

As a tradition for their first day of classes I ironed their hair. We really love to get ready for school and love to get on girly stuff.

Sofi and Pao, I wish you a blessing semester with lots of knowledge, fun and blessings. God is always with you sweet girls.

Love you, princesses!!!

Finally we put all our Christmas decorations away. Now, my living room looks pretty and clean. During the process of changing and cleaning I decided to put some love decorations out. Yes, I know is almost one month for Valentine's Day but with school, work and other projects and things on agenda we need to anticipated to things.

Later, we went to celebrated my niece sweet 16. It was a little party with the people she sang (she is a singer) and we really had a great night. 

Annie

Can't believe she is 16!!! God bless you Cary!!!

Three Kings Day!!!!

First I need to vent, after a day full of problems yesterday well, today was a little better day.

Anyway, enjoyed the pics from our Three Kings Day.

Annie

Not My Best 1st Day of Work!!!

Today was my first day back to work since Christmas break. We were supposed to had meetings during the morning and then went to our classrooms to cleaned and work. Well our meeting was all day and my boss didn't completed the whole agenda. When you went back to work you have motivation, energy, anxious to create and make fun things and of course, we need the money so, we are anxious to have our salary.

Well, the first point that my boss said was: "We are not sure if you are going to receive your paycheck". WHAT? Are you serious? Yes, because we have financial problems. It was like recieving a cold bucket of water. I mean, I have a family. That was the first thing.

After that she said we have to go to a meeting on February and each one has to pay $30 and if you paid after the deadline you have to pay some charges. Really? But how is that possible because I didn't confirmed it? Come on? NO ONE, Anyone of us knows about it? Oh, but wait I almost forget the best part, if I don't go to the meeting (that I have to pay for it) they are going to discount $60 of my salary. Yes, you read it good, $60? What? Why? Well because remembered they have financial problems at the company and they don't have money to pay. So, let's discount that amount of money and that is.

It was a long and frustrated day, I cried, I was angry, is not fair that I have to pay for the mistakes of other people. Is not my problem that they don't have money. I need my salary, is my money and I work for it.

I'm praying that this semester goes fast. At this moment, I don't like my job.

Annie

PS: Sorry if have some gramatical problems, I'm still angry, frustrated.

Wednesday!!!!

Today was my last day of vacation so, what did I do all day?

* woke up at 11 o'clock

* enjoyed the silence in and around the house

* check FB and messages

* the girls woke up at 12 o'clock (it was their last day to sleep in)

* opened the windows and gave breakfast to the girls.

* played my monopoly (Sofia's new game from the Three Kings) we played for almost two hours.

* cleaned my chores

* the girls played with different toys.

* colored my hair because tomorrow is the first day of work.

It was a nice day no matter all my Christmas decorations are up. During the next days I will put everything away and decorate for Valentine's Day, yes, I know is just January but the days pass so quickly and we love to enjoy our decorations and with work, homework, birthdays and other things I have to be prepare in advance.

Annie

Happy Three Kings Day!!!!

The end to our Christmas is almost here. Still we have to celebrate Three Kings Day and we are done.

Annie

Sunday!!!

Today Pablo and I spend our day at the mall. We were looking for the "perfect" gift or gifts for the girls because on Tuesday we celebrate the Three Kings Day. The mall was not crowded but most stores don't had lots of toys and we were looking and looking and getting frustrated with that. After maybe, five hours we bought some things and went home.

Annie

Saturday!!!!!!

Yesterday I ended sleeping with the girls. They had big beds now (twin size) but it not the best place to sleep two persons. I slept with Sofia while Paola stayed in her bed. It was a longggggg night. I woke up several times during the night, not my favorite night. Pablo has worked and by noon he was out of work. Well, when he arrived home we still were sleeping, ha!

Our afternoon consisted in deep cleaning to the living room, dinning room and the girls bedroom (can't wait to share the pictures of their "new" room). While we cleaned the girls watched Jesse, they are obsessed with it and play with my kitchen pans. At least, they had lots of fun.

Annie

New Year's Eve 2014!!!!

Pablo has worked until noon and when he arrived at home went out. Is a tradition for us to went had dinner and went shopping. It was a fabulous day. We ate at Sizzler, went to the mall and ended our afternoon at Krispee Kream.

When we arrived home we took showers and got ready to go to my mom's house.

We are thankful for our 2014 and all the things we experienced. More than ready for a blessing year.
