Did someone say Jamaica??


No...oh too bad. It would have been nice to join you. Why you might ask, would I want to go to a caribbean island? I don't normally prefer island vacations. Maybe it's because I have a tween, a pre-tween, and one, that is way past his tween years, but somehow he manages to irk me just like the other two. So yes, this is a vent post, and if you are in a good mood and do not want to hear my rant. Then go on to another post, or someone else's cheery blog.


My pre-tween is managing to get in loads of trouble at school. He is choosing to not do his homework and telling us that it is done. I have been a bad parent, and have not double checked his homework, so shame on me. He has been grounded and has lost privelges to his XBox 360, his Wii, his Playstation 3 and his lap top. Did you get all that? Yes, we have over indulged this pre-tween and now we are paying the consequences. And did I forget his Nintendo DS? So, what I am thinking is that I have to fix this situation and show more "tough love". Does anyone know how to do that? I am a sucker, you hear me, a sucker for this pre-tween. He has me wrapped around his little finger.


This is where my full grown tween/man/husband/Buddy comes in. He "tapped out" last night. He for the past seven months has been both mom and dad to this pre-tween. Me with my two jobs have not been around much. He has held down the fort, so to say. And he needs me to come back full force. I get it, I see where he is coming from. Sometimes me and my type A personality do not like to have reality hit me smack in the face. So, that is where Buddy irked me. For I could'nt help myself. Buddy, I am sorry. Truly sorry. I promise, starting next week, I will be around more. I still won't cook though : )


Then there is this Tween....... She unlike the pre-tween has no problems turning in her homework etc. She is in the honor roll at school. She stays busy with dance. Her problem, she thinks that I am her personal assistant. Excuse me....yeah, I don't think so. Every day it's somehthing else. This morning it was a call "mom, I forgot my lunch, can you bring it to me?" "Uh, no I am at work. Eat in the cafeteria, you have money on your card." "But I don't like the food in the cafeteria. There is nothing healthy." "Well, too bad." That is just one example of the many. Is this what having a teenager is going to be like? If so, then I need to go to a carribean island for a major emotional detox and come back with a fresh new mind. I know, I know that I can't, but it was a good thought. I will however look forward to Chicago in 13 days...haaaaa Even though the tween is coming with me I will have a great time. And Jamaica will just have to wait.

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

My life through my iPhone 2

Part II of "My life through my iPhone.                    Saturday was the Marcos De Niza Homecoming!  Kassie and Aaron had a blast!  I was able to finish Kassie's ballroom shoes on Sunday. It was spirit week for Corona del Sol and on Monday it was TV character day.  She dressed as Blaire Waldorf from Gossip Girl.  Corona had a bon fire on Thursday, and the Pommies performed a hip hop routine.  Here is a picture I stole from Instagram. On Saturday evening, the kids decided to carve pumpkins.  Here is Nachito and Chanel getting ready to carve. Kassie and her friend Amanda did some carving too!  These may not be great posts, but it's a start.

Just how long has it been? A long, long time....

Not so much of a Blogaholic. I almost feel the need to change the name of my poor little blog. It has sat here deserted with no updates and no pictures. I think about it everyday, yet I can't seem to find the time to come back to it. My intention for my blog was to document so much of our days and lives. And yet, I have let months go by without one little entry. There is no way my mind can remember everything that has happened since my last post. So much missed. The majority of Kai's 8th grade year, and the majority of Nachito's 5th grade year. Not to mention how many holidays and important events I have missed. Trips and of course Birthday parties. Somehow I need to find the time to record these events, and even if I have to back date them, I will document them at some point. This week is a tough school week for the kids. AIMS testing for both of them. Today they both felt very good about how they did. Nothing much has changed in Kai's world. She still dances, still c...
