Alrighty, sinus infection, I'm going to beat your ass

I'm not giving in. I did my YogaX today, and haven't missed a day of this "Recovery Week." Woohoo! For me, this week has been the hardest, because of my sickness. But I feel I am on the healing end of things, so I'm PUMPED for Phase 2! I definately want to add size to my muscles so I am SO bringing it with the weights and my NEW PULL UP BAR, YEAH! Can't wait!

On the flipside of things, we are SO close to being done with moving in. We still have to clean the house (which will be an all day adventure, I'm sure), and empty our fridge. We are settled in at my 'rents and we actually have alot of "private" space, suprisingly, and I don't feel cramped at all. As long as I can workout and sleep, AND things are CLEAN, I can relax. If you know me, I am pretty OCD about things being organized and dust free, and I have an addiction to lysol wipes. I seriously go through 2 canisters a week, which is probably not good for the environment..but hey, this house is getting more disinfected by the day! My parents are clean-don't get me wrong. Buuuuut, they are not the "white-glove" type, which, I am. Damn military did that to me! I can tell they are loving it though. Last night we played Wii bowling with a couple tequila shots and went to bed. Awesome!

Back online!

Wow. Being disconnected electronically from cyber world is kind of disheartening! I got over it though. How can I describe the past couple days? Well, we've been moving out of the house on Spring street...I really did NOT think we had that much stuff. I was so, so, WRONG. Oh, and then just bringing it all over, and unpacking-IN ONE DAY. We were up pretty late, because I just can't sleep with a mess all over the place. I had my trusty cans of lysol wipes and 409 and lots of towels. Garbage bags..piles for Goodwill..oh my. Then today rolls around. I get up, and do my Kenpo like a good girl. Then I decide that I really need to organize the kids room (did I mention they are sharing rooms now? With LESS furniture, LESS drawer space, OMG.) That was a nightmare. But I got it done, and I stood back, and I said: IT WAS GOOD. Haha. Then the rest was just mopping floors and cleaning bathrooms; which I consider easy stuff. Organizing rooms, and more rooms is just a major pain in the ass. So once I got that done, the rest is sorta easy. And on top of aaaallll that, I get a major allergy attack from all the dust flying around, so I am sneezing a mile a minute at the same time. Did I mention I haven't showered yet, and don't think I have the energy to walk up the stairs, so that idea just seems a little ambitious for me right now. I stink, like BO and lysol combined. My feet are swollen. And I look like Rudolph from blowing my nose. Nice image, eh?

But, I am thankful still. I am thankful that my parents so graciously took all of us in again, until things settle..and we can plan our next move. Fun times. Great times to be had in the near future. Heck, we have family, the Wii, PS3 (with Rockband now, yeah!), and a crowded house chock full of some loooove. Doesn't get better, and I must say, more puertorican, than that.

Now, off to take a nap!

Last Blog for at least 3 days or so...

Because we will be moving!! Closer to all our friends, so THAT is what I'm so excited about. Expect to see alot more of us, woot woot! LOL.

Here are some pics to tide you over until I'm back online..from Christmas morning. Isabel and Alana were happy as clams. Isabel loved all the gifts from her Nana and Aunt Tanya (thank you! :)) and of course mommy and daddy, gramma and poopa, and her Great Pappy (He got them 2008 MATCHING Christmas Barbies!-I don't know who loved them more, me or the kiddos-haha). Isabel had an especially joyful time ripping off paper than trying to chew on it. I didn't let her do this longer than 2 seconds, for which she got VERY mad at me. The toys were a nice distraction.

Till I write again...Happy New Year! And here is to a great 2009!

I'm having a hard time with something else..

My parents are taking care of the kiddos today.

Both of them.

That means little 7 month Isabel is going to be gone for 2 DAYS! She's never left my side since she's been born.

I'm used to Alana being gone, I mean, she's almost 7 years old. So it's a bit different. But the baby...God help me today. This weekend I can't let this lose my focus..which is to spend lots of quality time with my hubby. And sleeping in! It will be healthy, and we'll have lots of fun, I know it.

But I'm missing my kids terribly and they just left 15 minutes ago! aaah!

We're Baaaack

We are back from an EXHAUSTING weekend at my parents. My facebook status said I was off to my 'vacay.' That's where it was! We had such a great time. We even went fishing in the pond in the back of the house-and we got at least 50 fish! It was crazy. And it was soooo nice sleeping in because my mom was obviously there to take Isabel in the mornings, for as long as I wanted to. We didn't take any pictures (so sad!) because we forgot our camera! boo! I will make up for it in the future. Next weekend we will actually be staying at my friends beachhouse on folly-so if anyone wants to come have a cookout with us-just give me a ring!

Gotta say I'm looking forward to getting back into the routine of things tomorrow morning. I think I probably gained 5 lbs this weekend, so I am going to run tomorrow. No matter what! My clothes are too tight, aaargh!
