Melissimplistic

 I had these beautiful party favors done for Roger Jose's Baby Einstein themed party.  Then I bought these plastic bags and wrapped them in there so they would look more presentable.  I had little jean bags made for the girls with the Baby Einstein caterpillar and their names embroidered in the front of the bag.  For boys, I had jean caps with their names embroidered on the front and the Baby Einstein Caterpillar on the back of the cap.  Isn't this cute?   I hope the cake comes out nice also! The piñata is huge and really cute also.

I woke up in the morning, and the girls and we sang happy birthday To Roger.  I can't believe he's one year old!  He's grown so fast and I can't believe that year ago he was thei little newborn baby.  He is such a happy little boy!  I love you Roger José.

Mi querida hija, no te debes sentir culpable porque no fuistes la "cocinera" de Roger, recordá que ustedes se casaron, vos para ser su esposa y él tu esposo. Según puedo percibir, el papel que has jugado es el correcto, diferente fuera si a vos TE GUSTA cocinar y lo disfrutas. Dont worry Be happy, aunque hubieses sido "La Cocinera" que él tanto ansía, te echara en cara otra cosa, pero no son estas pequeñeces las que hacen crisis en los matrimonios, estas cosas son solamente la máscara que ponemos para encubrir otras razones que son las que hacen las crisis. Creo aún que hay mucho camino por recorrer, así es que adelante y no perdas energía en estos menesteres. Cada día te amo más y me siento mas y mas orgullosa de tu fortaleza y de la claridez con que miras las cosas. Tu mama

Mi querida hija: Entiendo perfectamente lo que estas viviendo, igual entiendo cuanto te duele no solo el corazón sino también el alma, pero también quiero decirte que todo matrimonio pasa por estas crisis, quisiera encontrar las palabras adecuadas para explicarte, creo que me podría servir de ejemplo de mi jardín, cuando nos pasamos a la casa para sembrar la grama tuve que arrancar mucha monte, hierba que no me servía y una vez limpia la tierra sembré la grama, el tiempo pasó y por diferentes razones, el terreno volvió a llenarse de maleza, que me queda por hacer volver a sembrar grama, pero ahora ya reflexioné ya aprendí la lección y sé que tipo de grama tengo que sembrar, pero no solamente, ahora tengo que volver a invertir tiempo y dinero para remover la maleza, remover la tierra y sermbrar sobre tierra limpia la nueva grama. Esto exactamente lo que nos pasa a los matrimonios, hay que hacer un alto en el camino, reflexionar y analizarnos profundamente para poder saber de qu...

I am starting School on Monday! I am excited, but a little worried...classes seem a little hard this semester. And I'm having lots of Pre-Assignment homework to do this time, which I've already started to work on, but still need to do more! This time I'm going to take two classes starting on Monday June 15th and ending on the 26th. They are Curriculum and Theory Design and Evaluation and Research. The first one seem very interesting, the second one doesn't seem too interesting to me.

The first two she made at school, and the last one she made at home a couple of days ago!

Today, when I woke up, I was surprised not to listen anyone crying or calling my name! It was 6:30 in the morning and all the kids were still sleeping. Roger was the first one to wake up, but didn't cry. It's 7:03 am and the girls are still sleeping!

Nobody came to work on our living room yesterday, and I guess nobody is coming today either! I'm anxious to have this work done already! The living room is a mess, and my sofas are outside.

We are planning Roger's First Birthday Party for the 27th of June. My grandma says I should cancel because of the swine flu. I really don't want to cancel. Anyways, the theme will be Baby Einstein. I designed his birthday invitation in photoshop all from scratch:

Roger has been having horrible sleeping/nappinp patterns lately. Yesterday, he cried the three times I put him to sleep. I had to rock him to sleep! And today he woke up at 4:30 am crying. What could possibly be wrong with him. The only thing that comes to my mind is that he is needing less time to sleep during the day. I really don't like that. I enjoy the two two hour naps he takes in the morning and afternoon!.

The house was unrecognizable today after some work they did today on our ex-sunken living room. I thought they were going to finish today, but now, they are finishing till Monday. I am anxious to see how everything is going to look!

Finally we are going to be able to get rid of our sunken living room and Isabella will be free to walk everywhere at least inside our home!

I am tired of writing about how sick we are, but that's basically what all this week and part of last has been about.  Anyways, I am almost completely recovered, no fever since yesterday, no more sore throat, nor body aches.  Marcella is also feeling better, but has two horrible sores on her throat...never seen anything like that in my life, they do seem very painful.  Maria Isabella has no fever, no sore throat, but is full of phlegm and coughs a lot. She needs a nebulizer treatment every two hours and is taking antibiotics. 

I am going to the doctor today...I had 39 C fever today and it did not go down until right now at three o'clock.  Maria Isabella went to the doctor yesterday, and my mom took her again today because I was not feeling well.  Thanks mami! 

I can't believe Roger José has been able to stay healthy. Marcella still got a fever today, I am a little worried. This was supposed to be her last week of school. It is final exam week. Today I went to pick up her books, and told the teacher she might be able to go to class tomorrow, but apparently, she won't. Maria Isabella is better. She still got a fever this morning, but was low.
