Well here is to another year gone by... I must say that it has been a good and bad year for my family!!

First, we had our little baby back in June and in a couple more days he will soon be 7 months old!! My older two boys are now 15 and 14 -- I just recently found out that my 14 yr. now has a girlfriend I told him no babies until he was 30 however -- All he could say was "Mom!!" He should be glad that I did not say it in front of his girlfriend!!!

Second, we had a real scare with my Dad -- chest pains !!! Now answer me this -- IF you went to the hospital and they check you all over and they decide to give you heart medicine to take and then in the same breath tell you that there is NOTHING wrong with your heart --WHY DOES HE NEED THE MEDICINE??? No answers from the peanut gallery yet!!! He says that he is fine and that he is very tired of people asking him how does he feel...My Dad does not do sick or hospitals just like me!! He is home and full of shit just like normal and I am grateful for that!!

Third and most important, my oldest son FINALLY got and e-mail from his father (NOT DAD) and all he could say was "That is a vunny one ...OH, by the way Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas." You see they have not heard from nor seen him in over a year -- the last time he did this they were younger and hewas gone for 3 years!!! Not a word and my mother and I are trying to get the courts to go after him because he owes over $30K in back child support!!! What I do not understand is how the supoort enforcement can take my license away for non -payment of child support (yeah, I pay too) for my boys -- I only owe about $2K and when I go back to work I will be able to catch back up -- and yet he STILL drives and is not in jial for bieng a dead beat dad???!!! How does that one work??

All in all, every one in my family are all fine and getting over their colds and my baby is getting over the dumb ear infection and I will be ringing in the new year with my cold but for me that is ok after everything we have gone through in this last month of 2005 I think I can handle a small cold in 2006!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!!!!

DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!!!

It was 8 am in the morning and my stepmom calls me and tells me that my Dad have just went to the hospital complaining of chest pains-- Oh My God!! I woke up my hubby and packed up the babies and off to the hospital we went... I felt bad for waking up my hubby because he had just gone to bed at 6 am -- He said it was ok because it was Dad that needed us -- I was never so happy with my hubby up until that point -- I melted into deep love for him!!! Yes, I am running my mouth tonight -- no sleep you see little baby has the F@#$%^* ear infection and on top of that he now has a cold which guess who else has it??? yup, you guessed it ME!!! Not liking life right now but on top of this thing with my Dad I have to say that my 4 year old son has been soooo awesome that I just want to kiss him and hug him but he looks at me and says "Mom it's ok I don't want to get sick too!!" Want a kid!!!

My older boys were here last night with my mom and stepdad so we could exchange gifts that was fun for me because I got to pick on my now 14 year (#2 son) and give him little tiny horse bites on the inside thigh He tried to get me back but MOM is just to quick to let that happen -- He told me that he will get me back -- Pack a lunch sweetheart!!! They went to see my stepmom since my dad was in the hospital and that made her feel so good and she felt that there was someone there for her other than me...

All in all, Christmas was better than I thought it was going to be for my family and I must say that all of my boys have surprised me this year!!! I HAVE GREAT BOYS!!!

Another Christmas was here and gone and the paper is in the trash!!! The boys (the younger two) did pretty good from the grandparents and from us!! Santa thought that my 4 year old did a good job on the cookies and ATE them both and drank the milk!! He was soooo happy to see that the cookies were gone that he had to wake up me and hubby to show us the little plate and cup...Now you all know WHERE those cookies went right??

On top of having a ggod Christmas my youngest baby still has his nasty ear infection I am almost personal with the rocking chair that I have been sitting in for the last 3 days I am really starting hate it!!!! My hubby has been wonderful through all of this he will try and take the baby so I can stretch or go potty or something but he has to go to work tomorrow night Not liking that idea!! No more potty breaks -- sure put him in his crib -- not even happening!! He will start to cry and that is the end of that!!

That is it for now.. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!!!

For those of you who I have been talking to here is the latest on my baby... this morning he woke up burning up I took his temp. and it was 103.2 I was a little worried so I called the hospital to ask them what is the highest temp for a baby "Sorry we can not give out that type of info. anymore!!" WHAT!!! I have never heard pf such a thing -- So I called my doctor and they said come on in and we will see what is going on -- right before we left to go I checked it again 104.3 now I am getting a little more worried he was burning up!!! Sleep was his best friend today so we get there the doc checks him out and tells me it was an ear infection... Thank God was all I could say to that!

We went to the store got the prescription filled and he has now had 2 doses and a dose of baby motrin -- Sleeping like a baby!!! My 4 yr. son who is in love with the baby was so worried about him that he never left my side (I have been holding our baby since 3 am!!!) My husband was more worried than I was only because he has never had to really deal with the sicknesses that kids get -- THAT is my job!!

I am glad that is over and here is another shocker in my world... my 15 yr. old son does not like to get his hair cut and we have gone rounds about it and one day I told him that he is a very nice looking young man but he would look better if his hair was CUT--So today he went to get it cut and I just about feel over!!

That's all for today maybe more in a few days...

I have to say that my 4 yr. old is probably the funniest person in my family -- he comes up to me after we have been picking on each other for a while and with a HUGE smile on his face he will say something like "You are headed for a big time out Mom!" You see my hubby is Mexican and we call him little nicknames in Spanish and he really thinks that is funny -- He will turn right around and say it back to you as if he really understand what it is that he just called us -- I am the one who has to tell him what we have been calling him and then he will laugh and continue to call us the same names for about 3 - 4 days or until he learns something new!!! Oh man!!

My 6 month old is starting to get his own personality too!! He will smile at you sorta like a China man -- NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE!! It is actually very cute looking!!He reminds me of his old brother -- he did the same thing but when he would do it he would tip his head backward a bit!! Do they know that they are cute??? You better believe it!!! Proud Mama here!!!!!!

In my last post I was telling you about the guilt trip WELL here is a trip for you -- My mom actually told me not to panic about Christmas in that we would figure out a way to just have Christmas twice!! Works for me and that way nobody will be upset or sad Good plan!!!

I am grateful to those of you who have written to me and I just wanted to say that I will not be going back to a certain blog -- John knows I went back further and OH my God the things that this person was writing would make a sailor blush!!! So my hat is off to you John (Sorry can not remember the numbers after your name)

So for now that is it -- Little Mister (6 month old) is starting to cry -- his first cold or should I say cough nothing else...Someone should invent a cough medicine for infants under the age of 1....There's a thought!!!

So good night to you and see you again soon!!!

Merry Christmas and Feliz Navidad para ti!!!
