eating Hershey’s kisses!!!!!    

has gone by (almost) with no update from me…..did you miss me??? 

I spent a few days in the hospital with issues….I thought it was an attack of gall stones, but Ultrasounds, the MRI and the scope down the throat came out with contradicting results….so who the hell knows what’s wrong with me! lol The only thing I am concerned with is not having to go through this again. I wound up having to spend 2 nights in the hospital, and trust me, that is no vacation! Everyone’s schedule got screwed up, and then a coupla days after I got home, Lou came down with a nasty flu! Let’s hope that we’re done with the germs from this point on!!

Other than that, we’re gearing up for Louie’s b-day party. I know that all parents say this, but I really can’t believe he’s gonna be 4. My baby’s not such a baby anymore!!!  But it’s all good, he’s a great kid, and this is *such* a good age….all the kids are at a good age, well except maybe for Lillianna…..the attitude is *juuust* starting to poke through every now and again, *sigh* I am soo in for it. lol

I have no new layout to show you…..I have one that’s almost done though does that count? You’ll just have to come back and see when I’m done with it!!……WHY do I keep talking like someone actually reads this dang blog?!?!?! 

hasta!

And by “they” I mean the sickies……this year it’s been so bad for us!! First I got sick (and boy was it bad!!), then the boys got it, and finally poor Ms Lil got it, and she got it pretty bad too  Thankfully though everyone seems to be on the mend here….now if only the darn weather would cooperate, then we would be allll good. I am very proud of myself for buying the kids their valentine cards to give away at school like a month ago, *PLUS* the candy that they are going to give away with their cards *pats self on head*  ;)  Now of course I see all of these cool and crafty chicks making their own treat toppers and I am filled with envy, lol….ahhh maybe one year. Now just as soon as I can figure out how upload images of pages I have done, I can show them off here Well I have to go and clean up spilled colouring pages…..

 ciao bellas!

is to keep up with this blog!!  Anyone want to start a pool as to how long it’s gonna be until I update again??….anyone??? 

 Things here are going well, just trying to get things wrapped up in time for Christmas. The kids have all handed in their Christmas wish lists….Santiago is pretty much taken care of, Lillianna not so much, Louie is funny though cause he wants a pair of Heeley’s and I have *never* been able to find them in his size!! I’ll have to try and start redirecting him and try to get him interested in a scooter. And while I am talking about gifts, I do have to say that this year has been a really good year for “boy gifts”….I am just about done with my sons gift shopping and I just can’t seem to figure out what to  get my daughter….usually I have *plenty* of ideas for her! Oh well……lol!

 The children are officially on winter break now (3 weeks!) so I will hopefully be around to update a bit more……we’ll see. 

Hasta luego!!
