Hurricane Irma

Hi!!!! Please pray for our island

Sometimes...

Sometimes ... you feel excited about new things.

Sometimes ... just want to be alone.

Sometimes ... is hard to believe that my girls are almost 11 years old.

Sometimes ... is difficult when you work and don't have to buy groceries.

Sometimes ... you don't believe in the people around you.

Sometimes ... you feel good

Sometimes ... you cry alone

Sometimes ... you ask God: "why me"


Life is difficult, hard, a roller coaster but at least you have the opportunity to open your eyes and breath.

Hello!!!

Our plans for vacations are to be relax, eat, have fun, sleep in and just be together. Sometimes we set the alarm and went out early but most of the time we stayed home. Also, I'm trying to be ready for school and have the house organized, that's it.

Have a fun day

June Recap!!

Well, is almost the last day of June and here I am with another recap. The truth is that the last two weeks we stayed home most of the time. Sometimes I cleaned the house, sometimes played Emoji Blitz (cool game), ate, ate and ate, watched t.v. and sometimes did nothing. That's the way my summer vacations are for, doing nothing. 

I feel anxious when my house is dirty, need to fold clothes, cook, and the list is endless. So, I want to feel free. Yes, I have lots of work to do at home and just have four more weeks of summer vacations but I need to feel relax, enjoy life and that is exactly what I'm doing.

Saturday: The girls Godfather came home to visited. He decided we might go out to play golf so, that was what we did. Things we did: played golf, went to Macaroni and Grill for dinner, went to the movies to enjoyed Wonder Woman, went to Crispy kreme and finally home.

Specialized School in Fine Arts!!

Recap:

June 2:

* I stayed home all day with the girls.
* Sofia received her admission letter to go in August to the Specialized School in Fine Arts. She is going to be in the dance program. We are so proud of her. She loves to dance and it's going to be a great experience.
* We went to Wal-Mart
* Pablo and I saw a couple of programs at HGTV while the girls played in our bedroom.

June 3:
* We slept in (the best thing of vacations)
* Paola received her denied admission letter of the Specialized School in Fine Arts. I cried a lot because that means they are going to be on separate schools and in different towns. We don't know what to do because Sofia loves to dance and is her dream to go to that school but Paola acts like she don't care about the school decision but they agree that want to graduate at the same school together. Also, we have our concerns because we have to leave Sofia one hour early at school before she starts it because we only have one car and I need to be at school before 7:15 . We have to think in so many things before August.
* Together we cleaned most of the house.

Tomorrow the girls will receive their Godfather visit and they didn't know about it so, is going to be so much to see their happy faces.

Definitely, it was a wonderful and relax day.

Monday!!!

Sunny and rainy day!! Pablo has an idea, let's go to the water park. Everyone was so excited!!! We got ready and headed to the water park. After 15 minutes on the road, the rain started. He turned around and headed to a new place near hour house, and when we arrived, it was closed, boo!!!

But, he had another idea, let's go to the beach. Woo hoo!!! Both girls played, run and had fun while the two of us, enjoyed some adults conversation. About an hour later, the sky turned grey, so we decided to go home before the rain started. Bought lunch, went to our home, took showers and headed to dance.

No matter the rain it was a great day.

Busy Saturday!!!

After a difficult night we woke up around 10:30 a.m. We talked to the girls about the fun day they were going to had with their BFF. For their english class they have a special project about having fun with a friend at the movies. Of course, they have to write a report and answer some questions. 

The other mom and I planned the fun afternoon. We saw Smurfs, then they played at arcade room, had dinner and ice cream. They had lots of fun.

After it, we decided to ran some errands at headed to Wal-Mart. Finally we came home, marinate the meat, and enjoy a relax night at home.

Good Friday!!!!

We stayed home all day. Every year we went to church but since Pablo's foot injured last December he didn't took long walks. It was a calm day. I took advantaged of it and rest, also spoiled me with a facial, manicure and dry my hair. 

Have a great weekend.

Wednesday: a day like Tuesday the only thing was they had their hip hop class.

Thursday: No more rest, ha. I started with my spring cleaning. Things I do: 

     * bathroom: almost is done. Need to change the curtains and clean the window.Moped

     * kitchen: cleaned all the cabinets, drawers, and the top of the cabinets. Moved the appliances and        moped. Finally moped. Still need to clean the door and the window.
