Okay, so I know that I haven’t written on here in ages.  I guess I just let life get in the way.  I am like any other mom, I go all day and then by the time the evening rolls around, I am dead to the world.  Talia went through a phase where we would have to let her “cry ” when going to sleep otherwise we would be up there all night.  It eventually happened, but it is really heart wrenching listening ot your baby cry.

After that, we went on vacation in the States.  Ofcourse,  both kids got sick.  My oldest would say, “I just want to go home to my Dora bed” and my youngest came down with a fever and started vomitting nine hours from home.  Needless to say, it was a holiday from )(*&&^ and we are still paying it off.  I think the next holiday will be just that…..time away with just my hubby in Vegas or something.

We came back and I got into some issues with my daycare.  I won’t go into details because I don’t want to get charged with slander.  However, I will say that she was over the legal limit with children and she wanted her husband to watch my kids, and she wanted to keep my $500 deposit after she was the one who quit on me.  After having 3 bad experiences with daycare, I decided to just work nights and weekends around my husbands schedule.  Therefore, I work all night at times and stay up all day with the kids.

I will say that I am sorry for dropping off of here so abruptly, even if it was only a select few reading this blog.  Sometimes I get these projects that I am passionate about but life just gets in the way.  I will have to try harder.

Now I am totally bummed because I have had acne for the last 2 months.  I have NEVER had an acne problem, not even in highschool.  I went to the Dr. thinking that it was something hormonal since being in my 30s and that he can just prescribe the a pill and clear it all up.  Unfortunately he diagnosed me with Rosacea, a skin disorder which isn’t really curable, just treatable.  I was devastated.  Sure, there are worse things out there, but to have your face covered with pimples on your cheeks, its just so damaging to the self esteem.  Then I go to the pharmacy to fill it, only to find out that my dearly beloved husband didn’t read through the benefit package he signed thoroughly, and I had to fork out $130 for 2 tubes of cream.  Yikes!  All this time I thought I had health benefits.  Needless to say, he felt my wrath when he got home.  Ofcourse, he blamed it on the fact that I worked nights and was tired and grumpy, not the fact that this is important stuff that I need incase of illness.

I am feeling much better today as I found out that I have Christmas off.  I am a nurse so I work either christmas or new years every year.  I am taking the kids to the Santa Claus parade tomorrow and even though I am tired, I am so happy that I don’t miss any of the special moments with my children.  I send my oldest daughter Natara to a daycare centre two days a week, just enough to give me a break and let her learn.  They teach her how to write letters and everything.   I guess I am rambling, I just want to say that I will make more of an effort from now on.  If not, be sure to leave me a comment telling me to do so!  I hope you all are having the time of your life with your children, as they are only young once and before you know it time has passed you by.
