as always, time is consumed by something else than living life....
These months has been the hardest but full of achievements...This semester i took a class, just one class, to feel some fulfillment, to know i could do it, to sense it was possible......and foremost because it was free!
I still dont know if it was worth or not......yes, i learn a lot, yes i got an excellent grade, yes it is possible......but i miss the time with my girls, i was feeling more tired after work, i didn't read to them as much as before, i said the word "later" more often......i promised not to take another class because of that, i feel it is not my time anymore, it is theirs......but again, that was yesterday, today i feel "lets try another one", maybe this time with no grade, just go and listen....but if i am going to go, why waste it! lets get a grade!...uhmmmm, not very sure yet, but not much time to think about it, the dishes don't wait, the food doesn't cook by themselves (still i can think doing those chores), but reading to my kids, checking emily's homework, the bills, the doctor, bla, bla, bla, occupy my mind most of the time......and my job! yes! my job....so many tasks, so little time......
but, lets go to the fun part! my ninias!This summer emily was busy busy, she took swimming lessons, piano lessons and at some point even ballet classes! the best of all it is that she now knows how to swim!, she is a little achiever, it didnt took to much time for her, she just tried so much, and when she realize she could swim on her own, she kept doing it.....
we drop the ballet classes, it wasn't as fun as swimming. i wanted to try ballet cause i dont want her to swim in winter, but since she prefer to swim, that was good enough for me to keep her excercising....We kept the piano lessons, my dear friend told me that kids have to learn to play one instrument during school, so for know we are doing piano, and yes, WE both are learning to play piano because also my friend told me that even when they choose another kind of instrument or even sing, it is a great help to accompany them with the piano.....so there is another check on my list.....
my little sophie...... for her i mostly have to thank my mom, she has been here for the past 2 months and even when it just feels like it has been so little time, i thank God for the help and for have my little sophie free of cold, i almost got accustom to see her with a runny nose all the time, and coughing....but (knock on wood) she has been cold free for a while now.....she had have colds, but just the normal kind, just for a week and that was all....what a great feeling.....she also has been learning to talk more and more!....like: come here, oh my God!, there you go eminy, no kelo-no quiero (i don't want), a you ok?, can i hep?, etc, etc, etc....
but the best of aalllll!!!! ta,ta,ta, ta!!!!!! (drums please) she is FULLY POTTY TRAINED!!!! weeee!!!!!! she has been for a while now, on summer she wanted to use underware just as emily.......she had a couple of accidents (we have wood floors now!) but after few days she was running on her own to the bathroom, well she does this "ON HER OWN" all the time, so it wasn't to hard.....but it took a little more after she try to poop on the potty too, for that i have to thank her pre-school, my sussane catch her in the act and run her to the toilet, a couple of weeks like that she was ready......And let me tell you this Potty traing bussiness it is something mayor, hugggeee for me, with sophie i am taking about weeks what for emily took years.....i feel good not expending more money in diapers, butttt (of course nothing is perfect) now she doesn't want to pee on her diaper at night!, she wakes up and call me once or twice, everyday......of course i complain! who wouln't it?????........when you almost think you will get a full night sleep, there comes "mommmm, peeeeepeeee", and them "mommmm, waterrrr", and if i don't give her water, she will scream......then i will give her more water, and then she will pee....oh well, i wanted her to be potty trained right?????
