  • Menstrual Period

    I got my period for the first time in 1 year and I do not miss it! It's so gross. Blah! It's weird cause I was hoping it would not appear until maybe another year from now. I just feel like it's all too heavy for me. Imagine...four months of stuff trying to come out. That's how I look at it. Kinda gross but seriously! I had some supply left over from before but I bought some more and I can't decide whether I am interested in tampons or pads. If one is more comfy over the other. So far...I feel that either way they are both not attractive.

    So our house has been under construction for one month now! Seriously, I'm tired of seeing my stuff in plastic. And the people who are doing it comes when they please. It's our time and not yours! HELLO!!! Anyhow, I just feel that sometimes family mistakes doing work for you allots for being able to act unprofessional. I love the fact that the hot water is running A LOT better but still...I am hardly in favor for running in between clean and dirty laundry. My sister went upstairs today and said, "Geesh Maria, that's the messiest I've ever seen you." Oh and the other thing family thinks is okay is that you can work and leave your trash around. I know meeka people are more expensive but I can say that they would not have the liquid metal pieces flying everywhere to dry where ever it lands. Yeah, that's nasty. Or maybe I'm just anal about the cleanliness around me since it's already a little critter town that I have to deal with and the last thing I like to see is that its dirty and I didn't do it. I have thought of cleaning it but I decided to suck it up for a little longer so that when they finish it can stay clean versus them coming back to dirty it. Lets hope they decied that there's an urgency and finish it within the next week.

    A little early but it's my bday next month....and I don't know what I want to do. I was thinking since it is my first birthday with Evan that I will spend it with him but then I was thinking I should go out too. There's a new place I would like to check out. We'll see how things go when next month rolls around and how I'm feeling then....
  • 1st Camping Trip

    Xanga has become a time for me to announce his 1st everything (almost).

    My family went camping this week. Odd for the week but it was a better deal for the family w/ the store and all. The weekday is more slow. Evy had so much fun! His Auntie Chee bought him some stunna shades so he had to sport them. It was kind of relaxing to have gone. I went tubing and it reminded me of how young I am not! I am still sore and came home with a few soldier wounds from the extravaganza. It was worth each and every one of them. Camping in the middle of the week did throw me off a little. I had to rush to get a WHOLE bunch of stuff done once I got back.

    Oh and the interview went great! I hope to get a school of my choice. I applied for an AmeriCorps position. It doesn't pay much but the benefits are great and if something else comes along than great! Otherwise I am still applying around until the final okay. Even thought about a possible temp position but who knows, I was never a fan of temps unless it was something worth it.



    My mom on the trampoline. It was so cute! She loved it!


    Me about to go tubing.


    Evy and Uncle


    Mom and Dad chillin....it almost looks like they're on the Mekong River or something.


    This is my most favorite picture!!!!

  • centipedes

    So we have them in the house. I just killed one and was trying to chase after another one but it was too fast. I wonder...for the ones who try to get away and the ones who sit still and don't think you can see them, do they know they're going to die? I think they were on a mission today! That little fast one...not the first time I've seen it. Sounds funny but I swear they have their own colonies here! I have to call the Okin man and pretend to be the owner so they'll come out, insurance policies they say.

    Soccer tournament....its totally wearing me out. Blue moon calms the nerves. One is enough. It tastes like pop. I love it with a slice of orange. It'll definitely be in stock once I'm done breastfeeding. 3.5 months down and 7.5 left to go...I really want to do 2 years but we'll see!

    I hope everyone had a good fourth!

  • falling out

    Yes, I definitely can tell that my hair is falling out!!! I said to Linda...can you tell? Cause I have short hair and she said yes...and YES I CAN TELL!!! OMG! I'm like combing my hair and all this hair is combed out with it. I say its a part of the reposition of the body. I'm a little okay with it. I am not excited for the baby hair growth though. Maybe my bangs will just cover it up?

    My July 4th will be spent at the soccer field. Setting up and what not. I'm dropping Evy off with Penny. I'm a little nervous cause of where we'll be that I will have to work extra hard to find places to pump. And I have to bring a cooler. It's so weird how much more luggage you have to carry. I need to stay afloat so that I won't loose that milk!!! I'm going into 3.5 months and I have started to produce less but I'm trying to hang in there. Making little milestones for myself so I don't feel like it's going to be forever before I am not going to do it. I can't lie, I love it when he starts fishing for the nipple to latch on. Not in a gross way or anything but just a bond. Now when he eats his eyes are open unlike before he would just be falling asleep then be in deep sleep but he just stares at me and I back at him....I am still amazed some days when I find myself trying to find a name for Evan to call me when the name is "mommy". Some say that it'll hit me more so when Evan does call me "mom". My sisters and I always say how he feels like a child that we are taking care of except he's not going any where. It's still surreal. Especially his growth! Like yesterday he was just so little and now he's my little big boy. Growing SO fast. Learning SO fast. Evan's awesome! :D

    Tangent but yeah...my weekend will be busy helping my parents out. They want me to open the store at the Int'l Market place but I don't think there will be anyone there. Evy and I may not go to the field cause it'll be too hot for our chubby selves. Seriously, it's not fun to feed him when I'm hot and he's making me hotter. Plus, I cover his little head so that no one is like EW! So yeah...blanket over us TOO! Way too much going on. I'm not missing anything except probably some different vendors that may serve different foods then what is usually offered at the flea market. OH WELL...maybe next year when Evan's older or something.
