Castle Park Adventure//Family Day

Weekend Uexpected

I don't think this weekend was planned with so much anticipation as it should've been, which made it that much funner. My sister and her kids don't come by that often , because the drive isn't always the funnest , and well she works and the kids are always at school, and really sometimes we just don't always think about it. This weekend was a tad bit different, because she always says that she'll  come by and she  just never does. And after many of those , we might go I kinda lost hope for us to get together. It happens with anything ... since she was telling me that she was I believed a little of it but I second guessed it also. After my moms call telling me , that they were coming I felt like wow, iam washing my house is upside down and I can't figure it out. Which really sucks, because,If I had OCD I'd maybe be a little bit more organized than usual.(but i don't ,ehmm) I just have to find a different strategy to always be ready ...

I scrambled for about three in a half hours , and after a while i sat down and said , nah they won't come by.. My cellphone rings in this matter " we are outside come open the door" (surprised , very if you ask me).

I guess I cherish my family coming because we don't really do it that often , and I want to be a great host when they stop by from Long Beach. It's always nice to see genuine people that I can call family that show mad love for me and  my kids and husband. It's nice to see them .

We had a little carne asada, chattered a bit , laughed, played poker , movies, and lastly we went into the pool.Ugh, it was muggy in the valley that I wasn't sure if this was momentary until this afternoon. We jumped in and it was freezing , I couldn't feel by soul. (exagerating a bit) It sure felt that way..

Finally, I can say that I surely had an amazing weekend  and I am truly looking forward to many more.

2013: It was a Celebration

2013: It was a Celebration THe week before christmas , ALex and I had made so many plans, and gathered our thoughts about new years ... (its exhausting) I always gather up things , without knowing the outcome, and with a knot in my stomach at some point I dread it. (inconsistint) Honestly I hate making plans, why because some people don't pull through , and it's a you never know type of thing .And this bugs me for weeks, I get stressed out, I want everything perfect, I basically turn into a maniac. (in a good way, i hope) So the evening was planned , we ordered the wings , my mother was down for my birthday and celebrated new years with us. It was all good , we had invited my brother and my sisters, they said maybe, then yes, then I'm not sure. (it got to me head for a while) that maybe this wasn't happening.. I kept hopeful,and try to stay calm as much possible, but there were times that I felt like pulling out my hair, because things started to come out hectic. To begin with we had ordered wings 100 pieces 2 hours before 10pm, for them to hand them out to someone with the same name (once he had to pick them up), so Alex had to wait. Then in the afternoon my mom left to church at 7pm with my older sister in perris, which by the way was about 34 degrees. (freezing weather). For them to stop by my house at 9:45pm, to then tell me there grandaughter was purging all evening, so they weren't goin to make it. My brother , then text that he wasn't coming, and so did my other sister. Yeah , all that wrapped up most of the night.... In my mind I was furious, exhausted,dissapointed, that my house was set up, with food, drinks, decorations etc. Well me being me, I wasn't going to let it ruin my fun, we watched a movie (paranorman,and some other action film). Ate wings,pizza,drank a little here and there...My littl guys were just hanging out the whole time. Me and Alex just looked at each other and said , it's all good right? ..and just busted out laughing,(odd moment) ... We laughed , hung out in our quiet apartment, laughed some more, then the moment came. We popped the champagne (which has become my favorite thing to drink ,lately) screamed happy new year !!! Went outside, and started popping the poppers, drank endlessly,ate endlessly and enjoyed a perfect evening... Im grateful , that things turned out in such a way!! Happy New Year 2013!!! p.s. still debating on a resolution..hahahah!
