Birthday Celebration

So today I'm officially 26...it happened sometime today between 10/10:30am. My mother calls out to me last night around 8pm, sits me on her lap and gives me a huge hug. She told me "it was at this time, that I went to the hospital with labor pains..." See if I didn't know how horrible labor pains were, it wouldn't phase me but I DO...my poor mother. 

On Saturday, my good friend Vicki hosted a party at her home to celebrate this said occasion. It was really nice spending time with my friends, drinking and dancing. See pictures below. 

Tonight, my brothers and cousins will come over for dinner and cake. I love birthdays because we all come together as a family and have a great time. I will post pics tomorrow :)

Christmas!

Christmas was pretty awesome! I had last week off and I'm amazed that I spent all week practically at home. On the 24th, my mother gave me my present and it is by far, the best present I could have ever received...she got me a DVD camcorder. Now I can record every single waking second of Ayden's life (maybe even sleeping). 

Christmas morning, I woke up at 7:30am, did my morning routine and woke Ayden up. He was so excited but as he opened his gifts you could notice he was still half asleep (I have that on video now). He was so happy and excited...we spent all morning playing with his gifts. 

On Friday, I decided to re-do his room to accommodate his million toys. I went to Ikea with my mother and purchased a bunch of things to re-organize his room. As a result...we've got this!

Catching Up!

Okay, so I just realized I haven't written a blog in quite some time. Last I wrote, was preparing for last weekend and the arrival of my bestest friend ever. Friday night was pretty chill. We hung out with some old friends and drank some beers...okay, Smirnoff Ice but I think that falls in the beer category. Sad to say, two of those down and I'm giggly. Saturday during the day, we took the kids to Chuck E Cheese. They had a blast! It's so good to see both our sons becoming great friends. Ayden says Dean is his best buddy and for me and Mel, that's great to hear. At night, we hit a lounge...I got a bit drunk and at the end of the night realized someone stole my purse. Thankfully, I called the next day and it was there and nothing was taken (phew!). It was great to see my friend and spend time with her. The sad part is she had to leave...I really love having her around and having another young mother around who understands. But, I will be going up to see her in February for her daughter's baptism (I'm the godmother)!

On Sunday, I went and got my nose pierced and...I absolutely love it! Totally painless and it healed surprisingly quick. I don't even feel it now...just when it gets caught in the towel and I pull it out :(

The Weekend!

Thank god it's Friday...and I woke up in the best mood...it's been a while!

My sister (ok, best friend) is in town from Tallahassee for a few days. She's really here to be with her dad but I'm taking advantage to see her a few times and her two beautiful children. Ayden has been waiting for Dean to come for like a month now. Try to tell a four year old he has to wait a month to see his best buddy. 

I have also decided I want to do something "new" for my 26th birthday...I'm gonna get my nose pierced....yes, you heard right...my nose. It'll be a small earring so you'll barely be able to notice. See, I hate my nose...so i figure, if i add jewelry to it, I'll like it better. 

Im actually starting to see a pattern, two years ago, for my birthday, I got my third tattoo on my wrist. Its a mother and child symbol...probably one of my favorite tattoos. I've thought about getting another one but instead, it'll be the nose piercing.

I'll let you know all about it on Monday! Yay!

Everything Ayden!

So I finally started my christmas shopping...I know, I know but that's the way I work, I procrastinate these kinds of things.

For Ayden: the Tag reading system with two books (this is the educational toy for this year's Christmas), Flippin Frogs game (I love it, can't wait to play it), Pixos (some bead creating pen), the Wii and games. I'll probably get him another few things for his stocking but as far as big gifts, that's all! Of course, this list doesn't include the gifts from Grandma which are as ridiculous as mine if not more. I know most people wouldn't agree with the way I am with Ayden. I do spoil him, maybe more than I should but he's my baby. I also realize "I" have a problem and that is, I give him everything he wants. 

Lately, I have been toughening up a lot. I have encountered resistance but overall, he's learning that toys are for special occasions. 

I also want to share with you a little about Ayden's personality. First, he's a Leo which for those who don't know, they have a very special way about them. They are stubborn as heck, stuck on their ways, capricious (but I can be blamed for that trait), the list goes on. Aside from that, the little brat is SMART. Not your average four year old smart, this is i'm 8 years old stuck in a 4 year olds body type smart. 

On Sunday, I took him to McDonald's for lunch after going to see Dora and Diego at an Hispanic Festival in my hometown. He knew very well when he asked for McDonald's that it was solely for the purpose of the Bionicles toy but so did I (he doesn't fool me). We get out of the mall and he realizes he has lost his precious toy. Somehow he convinces me to get another one the following day but that toy is no longer available so he FREAKS! 

To make a long story short, he starts talking to me (hand gestures and all) telling me that he's not upset with me but he's upset at McDonald's for not having the specific Bionicles toy he wanted. He continues by saying "see this is my mad face" so I'm mad now. After a long discussion and a horrible promise from me, he proceeds to show me his happy face...the pictures are below.

Tarot Card Reading

Ssssooooo...how did it go? AWESOME!

I'm not sure how most people feel about card readings. You ask me prior to Saturday and I would tell you its all about the power of suggestion, made up...but from my experience, I'm starting to question that. 

I was the first of the group to go in and I was there for a little over an hour. All she asked was my name and month and day of birth from there, the crazy lady, knew it all. She knew of my ex-husband, his life, she knew of my son and future issues I may have with him. She knew everything about me down to a tee. A thing I can share? Well, she said that there are people who think I'm crazy because of the decisions I make but I'm not crazy (which I know, of course), they just don't comprehend. She said so many things...all right!

Oh yeah, three spirits follow and guide me. One is a man from way back when, he was very spiritual and loved reading which is why she says I like to read and that I need to open by self to spirituality. Another is a woman from the victorian times...a time I would have liked to have been born and the last is a nun.

To say the least, it was a good experience. I was scared and skeptical at first but overall, I left there feeling like there's much more to it. I mean, are there people who do this for a living by making shit up? Sure but I have to question because of how right she was, not just with me but my other two friends.
