What is wrong with me? I have been feeling so tired as of lately. Maybe is getting used to going back to work from our time off during the holidays.=sigh= Well, I will start classes in two weeks! I am excited b/c the finish line is so much closer now, although, I wish I could feel more energetic. Sati tells me it’s because I go to sleep early, but 8 or 9 is not early when you get up at 5.30a.m. lol…I just don’t know.
For the past several nights the princess, hubby and I have been playing uno. She got a game called uno w/the Disney princess from my hubby’s parents. I thought it was really cute and she loves to play with them. It’s been fun playing together and having some fun before heading for bed. =) I treasure these little moments w/her and the hubby.

Happy New Year!
Wow! It’s been a while since I have been on here. A lot has happened and I have been so busy. First of all, the hubby and I decided to put our honeymoon on hold. We have made an offer on a house! =)We should hear back from the agent later on today. Hopefully we got it. I am super excited. The hubby and I ended up getting a house that is a little bit away from the city. We get more of a house for a better price. If we end up closing by the end of this month we will have all of February to take care of cosmetic stuff before we move in the end of March, that’s when our lease in the town home is up.
The little one started school yesterday and she made the hubby and I a journal. It was so nice! I will post some pages later on.
Well…It’s good to be back!

I am still not done with all my Christmas shopping. I was thinking about doing some shopping this week, but by the time I get home I don’t want to go out. I blame it on the weather, lol. It’s been so cold lately and all I want to do is curl up on the couch with my hubby on one side while watching a movie and drinking hot cocoa. Yummy!
Hubby and I are planning on purchasing a home and we have been looking at several houses online. It is very exciting! I started looking at houses and emailing them to my hubby so that he could tell me what he thought. We are trying to find a house that is close to the city that we currently live in. I guess it is a little harder to find a great home with everything that we want b/c we are in the city. =sigh=
We have found two houses so far that are in the top of our list. They have a huge yard and are updated, so we wouldn’t really be making that much remodeling, which is great! We will be making an offer hopefully sometime in January. We are currently leasing a townhome, that is in a great location but that doesn’t compare to owning your own home. I know within the next weeks we will be making our decision.
Also, hubby and I are trying to plan our delayed honeymoon. We are trying to figure out where we will be going for a week. We were thinking about taking a cruise, but for some reason the dates that we were looking at which are late March or early April are all gone. That seems somewhat strange since we looked on Friday and we could still see those dates available. Our other option would be flying to Cozumel and staying there for about a week, but that might be a little bit more expensive so I think.
So many decisions that we need to make, but I am excited!

Friday night was amazing! It was so much fun, Sati and I went to the Christmas party. Like the typical brownies that we are, we ended up arriving an hour late...lol... Once we arrived we started talking to people. I was introduced to several new people that I had seen at her job, but never actually had conversations with them. Oddly enough they knew who I was and asked why I had left the company. I had previously worked closely with Sati and that's how we met. I had been there for about six years but, an oppurtunity was precented that I just could not decline. Anyhow, Sati and I were treated extremely great at the party. I couldn't help but smile when one of the guys there would catered to us making sure we had everything we wanted. Sati started dancing and man, can she dance. I was thinking wow...I should take classes from her. After having a couple of glasses of wine I started dancing. It was so much fun!
Saturday was a completely different day. I got up early at 7 a.m. and the hubby left to get his car to the shop. I went to my mom's. When I got there my mom and I started talking. She currently takes care of my grandmother who is very ill and needs help to do everything. My mom is the youngest of three siblings and is the only female. My uncles live in other states. Since we have always been extremely close to my grandma who at one point helped raise me, we decided to bring her from Mexico since her health was getting worse by the day. She is staying with my mom who is with her 24/7 aside from working a ft job.
Since August, my gma's health has decline so much that she now is in a wheelchair. She can no longer walk, and is loosing movements of her arms. It is so hard for me to see her like that, I have always seen this storng woman, who was so independent. I love her so much because we are so close. I see her as my other mom. She helped me with my daugther when she was little and she has always been there when I needed her. Now, as I sit here I can't help but feel helpless. I want to help her get better, but I don't know what to do anymore. My mom has taken her to the doctor's and they have done several tests and still can't find out what is wrong. While all of this is going on my parenst are paying everything in full b/c eventhough my gma is a resident she does not have medical insurance. I try and help out as much as I can, but it's just not enough.
I hate that I can't do anything about it. I try and come as much as I can and help my mom take care of my gma. I come throughout the week and Sunday's so my mom can go to church with my dad and little brother. I make her breakfast, make sure she dosen't need anything, help her excersice and whe she gets tired I take her to her bed. I help her get in bed making sure that I don't hurt her and then I listen to her vent to me. She tells me that my mom helps her so much and that she hates the fact that she can'tdo anything by herself. As we talk she starts crying and that breaks my heart. I don't like when they vent and cry b/c I again feel helpless and just say that they need to be strong and think possitive. What else can I say? So my mom and gma vent to me and I listen to their thoughts, their conserns, their problems. It's just so hard when I hear them cry because they are very strong women who I have always looked up to and admire. I hope that one day I ca be ust like them.
Through all of this my hubby has been so supportive. He goes with me on Sunday mornings to take care of my gma. He could be at home sleeping in, but he wakes up early just so that he can go with me. He is a great man and I couldn't asked for more.
Tonight is going to be fun! My best friend, Sati and I are going to her work’s Christmas party. I am looking forward to the idea of dancing the night away. It’s been a while since I have gone dancing. Sati and I have talked about going, but we just never have. I have no idea what I am going to wear so that should be interesting. I can’t wait until tonight!
This weekend will be bitter-sweet. I had to say goodbye to my little princess. She is going to spend the holidays with her dad, his girlfriend and her two kids. I know she’ll have fun especially since the kids are around her age. I just hate the idea that I will not see her for a whole a week =sigh=. How I miss her already! I gave her a long hug and a huge kiss this morning when I dropped her off at my parents since they take her to school. I know I’ll be busy this weekend doing last minute shopping for the family. Sati and I are supposed to go Christmas shopping Saturday morning and perhaps into the evening. Oh man…I am going to be so busy!
