HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

You would've stayed in my tummy forever but I couldn't wait any longer! You helped me pack son some great extra poundage!! I slept alot, ate alot and goofed alot with your dad. You were an easy pregnancy! And what an easy delivery! I pushed for 15 minutes and didn't feel a thing when I did! The only issue I had was; I couldn't get my epidural soon enough and I felt the brunt of labor! It was pretty intense! And there you arrived @ 8:15 am, on A beautiful Monday morning, right after Easter. You were 8 pounds 6 ounces and 20 1/2 inches. Your little face was smooshed flat because I had no room left for you in my body! But boy, you were still so beautiful! I can't believe it's already been 3 years!

HE'S ONE YEARS OLD NOW!!!

His lunch turned out GREAT!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it's already been one year! You have brought so much joy into our lives, Wise. We are so blessed so and grateful to have you!!!! You are mommy's angel baby!!!

We love you!!!!I was nice a drugged up.... then the pain came back...
Yuo were born @ 4:57 pm after an hour of pushing and puking!

A YEAR AGO!!!!!!

My, how much changes in a year! I was so FAT!!

It's the skunky-bucky-boy's birthday tomorrow!

I can't believe it!

A year ago on this day, I was VERY pregnant, I felt fine, and was looking forward ot my induction set for the 14th of March. My mom was flying on on the 13th and I was sure she wouldn't miss Skunky's birth. I assured her I felt GREAT and she gave me the big ," UH OH! That means you're going to have this baby!" Boricua and I shrugged it off. We had too many false alarms.

I really didn't do anything too exciting this day a year ago. Let's see here...it was a Monday, I stayed home, Boricua worked and I organized some baby clothes. I was moving furniture around in the kids room and everything. I was NESTING.... if you haven't caught my drift yet.

This day was a very relaxing day a year ago. I was looking forward to the 14th! Not the 13th! That came to a big surprise!

Wow! Time does fly by, doesn't it?

slow pokes!!

Frustration.

Frustration: a feeling of dissatisfaction, often accompanied by anxiety or depression, resulting from unfulfilled needs or unresolved problems.

That's how I feel and have been for over a week now.

What is with this noun?

As in, I am using it as a noun.

I'm getting haggled for other's mistakes.

I'm tired.

I have lack of communication with my peers.

Somehow, it's pinned onto me...

and I'm doing my very very best.

I first had an issue with work...

their mistake was thrown in my face.

Then I had a communication issue concerning childcare...

it was thrown in my face.

Once again, I m doing my VERY BEST.

I feel I'm not being understood.

Something arises, like my grandmother's death and communication seems to go array.

I didn't think I'd take her death so hard...

I'm still trying to figure that out.

I'm melancholy.

I sense tension with some of my students

and it's unnerving.

I'm supposed to set a good example.

We lost my favorite Bishop and I'm sad about it...

Even though I'm confident our new one will be great.

Boricua gave me the silent treatment all night tonight...

still trying to figure that one out...

it all boils down to money dilemmas...

still haven't gotten paid yet.

haven't been able to file for our taxes yet...

because I was screwed over last year...

we need that money.

I almost quit one of my jobs because I was so upset with they way an issue was handled.

To top it off, this all comes to play when I'm having to go to Utah last minute to grieve with my Family.

I know a few people are not happy with me for NOTHING.

I am doing my very best.

I guess I can do better...

and one thing to do is not beat myself up about it...

to move on and be confident.

But I still can't deny I'm frustrated..and I used it as an adjective.

Ugh, sometimes I wish I had an alternate life.
