Cositas


Hello world. The small world of people that find a way to read this. How are you? I hope you're happy - cuz if you are not - that must stink. Just think right now of something really crappy..... go ahead - just think for a minute about something that happened in your day that didn't go perfectly. I'll give you a second. Now....... think of something amazing!!!!!!!! Think of something that one day made you SOOOOOOOOOOO happy!!!!!!!!!! Feel better? Good.

A lot of things made me happy this week - month - day actually. You know the sound of uncontrollable laughter from a 3 and 5 year old is the best. I have tricks to make my kids laugh. In fact - what's funny is that I had some minor aspirations as a kid to be an actress or comedian. Well, I definitely am glad I felt I had a bit of talent - because it pays off daily. My kids will point to me and say "you are NOW .... a..... girl... GORG!" and BooM!!! I become one. Or they say "Mom..... do your.... Myxlplick voice! Now Rhinokey! Now Italian man! Now.... Miss Lily!" (Myxliplick is the cosmic villain from the Super Friends and Miss Lily is a Russian mouse who teaches ballet) It's pretty fun. And it's always fun to watch Alex talk like a girl with a skirt on his head trying to convince my kids that he is me. Then I hide behind him and he lips the words that I say to make them laugh - and it's really funny. Maybe you just have to be here to get it. But either way - making my kids happy... is wonderful. (Especially when the children find a way to test every bone in your body that reserves a spot for patience and it seems virtually impossible to see the bright side in a tragic tantrum encompassing moment)

So last night - while I was putting my dear little darlings to bed Effie kicked me on accident and I said in Spanish "Eyy... me lastimo' " Then she said ...."Mom..... whats uh-steem-o?" And today she so cutely said "Mom... I wants to gos to Costa Weeka - because it sounds like da wurd make-up". What a weirdo. SHE'S SOOOOOOO cute. If that doesn't make sense or is not funny to you... well- I don't even care - cuz it's funny to me. She's so serious too. Man - I wish posting video were easier and didn't take so long.

I'm really too tired to write anything else... so I'm gonna go to bed. There's always a lot to say and write - but my brain is on "I'm about to shut down mode" so I'll just say hi to you people who happened to stumble upon this today and wish you a wonderful rest of the week. There's gonna be some partying (RPQ) this week I'm looking forward to so maybe I'll have some interesting things to write about soon. Until then. Peace out.
