October fun

I know this sounds silly but I am excited about halloween this year. Not only do I have a loving ,fun husband whose willing to "dress up" for a party this year but he is going as a doctor. Of course he is not thrilled about it but needless to say he is game. I was at first going to go as a cute angel .. but once we got his costume of a doctor. I immediately want to change mine to a nurse to go as a couple.. This is something I have never ever got to go as .. a couple at a Halloween costume .. a couple sharing a baby together ... a couple shopping together ... a couple spending holidays together ... Just the words alone make me smile out loud and praise God that I am truly sharing my life with a man whom I am completely utterly in love with ... I smile even while driving to work today on a Monday , no doubt I must be in love ;)
My baby boy is going as a monkey , I am so excited and my "baby" girl as a mermaid. I may flood this world with alot of corny phrases and pictures but I love the holidays for once in my life and not just cuz it is something to do or not be by yourself but to spend with family... I love the sound of that!

Early day fridays

At my household, we look forward to Fridays. Not just because it is the end of a workweek ,which is great.. but it is an early day of work for both Sergio and I ! I enjoy the fact that Sergio,getting off earlier than I gets to spend father and son bonding before I come home early too. I was all excited getting off and drove home rushing to put my adorable happy baby boy in my arms before tackling all the ever mounting household chores ,piling up all around me.. Loving and kissing and smiling at my infant for awhile. I ,then rushed out to do the three loads of laundry I had neglected all week long only to find my ever loving husband had not only done all the laundry but also had it hanging to dry on the line and in the dryer.. This is an double-edge sword if I ever saw one .. Yes , I am ecstatic that he did all laundry esp since I think he has only done it once since we have been together. I think he also excuses this great feat and deed done while watching the baby as a magnificent but it is to be never forgotten and told to all and forever "excusing him" from other chores .. since he did the laundry .

It was Vanessa's 19Th birthday surprise party later that evening and wow you almost thought it was his the praise he sought for his deed! Lol

here it goes... Lori Cervantes

I guess there comes a time in everyone's life when they get to a place in life where we want to record the events and memories of our lives , perhaps this is a sign of my indefinate desire to NOT get old by keeping up with newer technology but also a way to celebrate life , period! I am pushing 40 and finally feel I have come to a place in my life that i can TRULY enjoy my life with all chaos around me, my daughter , Brit being a senior in high school , turning 18 soon and a beautiful baby boy, Buddy whom despite my waistline expansion is the light of my life along with my daughter and wonderful ,loving and supportive hubby, Sergio . So here goes my hand at it can't promise miracles but I am trying.
