Cyndie's Thing

It's finally Fall!

 

Fall is finally here.  I am doing well in school, and really enjoying it. Kristina has started working at Pottery Barn Kids and is enjoying it. She is also going to school.  Aurora is back at Visitation and just last week they went to Disneyland for their field trip!  Tony is busy with teaching Scuba and coaching Aurora's soccer team, and Luca is just busy growing.

Life is very stressful for me and I am trying to maintain.  I hope someday I look back and be able to laugh...I don't think that is how it will work out...but maybe I will be able to find happiness and peace.

Vacation almost over

Crazy how the days just fly by...it's been an interesting summer vacation.  We really didn't go anywhere this year, but we did have a new baby and my family from argentina, then Tony took his exam to become a diving instructor...so we were kinda busy. 

I start school next week...I'm a little scared but really want this for myself.  I need to become an independent person and be an example for my daughters.  It's so important to get an education and be able to take care of oneself...so my goal is to first get through this semester of Chem and Algebra.  I'm real close to getting an AS degree.  Then get into that nursing program... it's been a long time dream to become a nurse...so with a little luck and determination hopefully I will get there! 

Luca has been doing well...growing a little everyday.  He was colicky and that was interesting.  I didn't really have to deal with that with the girls.  He is finally getting better, full of smiles and giggles!

I really need to write a post about my family's visit...it went by so fast!  I will do that next...I just wanted to blog a little.

One Month Old...

Well Luca made it to one month...(i know he's almost 6 weeks, this post is a little late) we went to the Dr and found that he has been growing just right, and unfortunately for me and everyone else in the house, my son, the light of my life has colic...and it drives me nuts!!!  I swear it's funny how different all babies are...Kristina wasn't much of a crier just didn't like to sleep, Aurora was a happy baby and never cried...well, Luca has made up for both of them...LOL!!!  It's been an adventure this first month, learning to live with little sleep, watching my daughters take care of Luca with such loving care touches me so much, and having Tony help quiet down Luca when no one else can...It's a wonderful life!

The Delia Men

Here are my men, just kicking it watching tv...aren't they cute?

A boy and his momma's dog!

I have been meaning to write my version of the day Luca was born,  and I will get to it.  Last night I had started writing it but then Tony's lap top rebooted and I lost everything I had written.  Oh well!  So instead I decided to share a few pictures of my two boys.  I was a little worried about how Spike was going to react to our new addition, but he has been very sweet and gentle...and I can't wait til Luca is old enough to play with Spike, and I bet Spike can't wait either!  I have the other pics in random pics!  Enjoy!

Well...here I go.

I've been home a little over a week, and I know I haven't blogged about Luca yet,  I've been trying to get some rest and get my head around what happened during the birth.  I wasn't going to write about it since Tony did such a wonderful job on his, but he thinks maybe you all would like my perspective, so I will be doing that in the next few days...but first I want to write about something else. 

OK...it's been brought to my attention that I appear to be hiding relationships.  So I am here to set the record straight.  So...just so everyone in my life knows,  in my life I have 2 friends that don't speak to each other,  I will not go into  why that is, I refuse to take sides, because in my heart I know that someday things might get worked out and I don't want to be the one who gets blamed for starting shit. I really try and stay out of people's business, and try and be a good person.  However I guess since I don't blog everything it is assumed that it's because I'm hiding something.  A great example...my birthday weekend.  I only wrote about my actual birthday,  and I wrote about it on June 6, early in the morning.  I was already not feeling well, and wasn't in the mood to actually write , but I did what I could.  So let me set the record straight.  Tracy,  I see Myra on social occasions...and  Myra,  I see Tracy on social occasions.  I don't always write about these occasions on my blog because, well, I get lazy and don't always write everything down...doesn't mean I am hiding it.  I will admit that I don't like hurting peoples feelings, and wont speak about things in front of the other person, most of the time...sometimes I let things slip, but once again  not on purpose.  So...with that said...let me get back to my life,  I've had enough going on lately to write a novel, but I've tried to maintain and not let it get the best of me.  Life is hard enough,  this year has shown me many ups and downs...I wish we could all just let things go and just be kind to each other.  Oh, and just in case there are any spelling mistakes...sorry!  but I'm really not interested if you find any, so don't bother  to let me know, I can live with the mistakes.

It's been a week

So, it's been a week since my birthday...I meant to post before but I have been so not in the mood to do anything.  However I do want to share what a lovely birthday I had.  Tony did do some blogging about it so most of you know we went out to dinner, first class in a limo!  It was way cool...so I have a few shots of that in random pics...

When we got home I opened my gifts and I got a couple of gift cards from amazon, and a couple of DVD sets of my favorite shows and a beautiful coach purse.  I've started looking for a matching baby bag to go with it.

Carla bought me some Sprinkle's cupcakes...and they sure where good...she even picked up one for Spike...he really liked it!

Anyhow...baby is still in place, no end in site.  but I do still have a little over a week...we shall see.

Baby Shower

Last night the Ladies of Vis threw me an awesome Baby Shower...it was at Truxton's (my latest obsession, they have real great food...and this dessert to die for if you love Churros!!).  It was so much fun just hanging out and having great conversation!  Thanks Ladies!!!  Check out the pics in Random Pics!

Memorial Day Weekend

Another Memorial Day Weekend...so far it's Sat night and we haven't done much.  The weather is kinda weird and kinda just wanna makes you wanna just be lazy.  So the days events started with lunch at Arby's and then we came home and watched tv...I brought the camera out and decided to take a picture of my swollen feet...gross!  Oh well...week 37 starts tomorrow,  almost done cooking. I am very uncomfortable,  and I can't help crying a lot, my feet are hurting, I can't wear my rings,  I can't sleep...I hope things get better once Luca gets here.  I'm sure the sleeplessness will continue but as long as I get my thin feet back I will be happy!

Mother's Day

Another Mother's Day...mine was real nice. I woke up late...Tony had gone Diving, left around 4:30.  I stayed in bed with Spike. At around 7 I woke up after having a dream that I was in Labor...thank God I wasn't, at least not yet, I don't have my hospital bag packed yet!  When I did get out of bed, I found a beautiful Rocking Chair in the living room...it was the one I had eye balled at Babies R Us...Tony really surprised me!  It made me real happy, I had wanted one since I had Aurora.  My girls had also bought me a couple of  boxes of See's Candy...Yummy!!!  Afterward we went to my mom's and discussed what we wanted to eat,  all the while the girls played with Mia, who next to Spike is like a rodent!  We couldn't decide, so my dad decided for us, Dinah's...yeah, my favorite place...LOL.  Gotta love my dad.

We came home and went to Petco...to buy some treats for my big boy...and ended up getting a new home for MJ...Nina's dwarf hamster.  We watched the our tivo'd episode of Gray's and then tripped out on Will's star machine.  I really like that, I think we will be buying one for each bedroom.

I also took this cute picture of my kids...Nina, Rorie and Spike!

Well...I only have 5 weeks to go.  Wow!
