Mid Summer
Thursday, June 26, 2008

So Summer A has finished and I received my grades!!! I'm so excited because I got an A- and a B+ on my SW courses =] I got a C+ in English, but i'm ok w/ that I hated the course and the teacher too. she didn't like me much either, so w/e. I'm glad I id well, and I know I probably could've gotten an A in the child welfare class, I just didn't try as hard. I have a second chance to redeem myself though, I'm taking Vulnerable Children with the same professor this term. I think I'm going to try to register for 1 class for the fall to keep on track, but idk... we'll see.

Mixed thoughts
Friday, June 13, 2008

Yesterday was Chrissy's viewing. How strange. I still can't believe it. What everyone said was true. She was someone that was so full of life. Always cheesing... HARD, lol. Ready for anything. But now she's gone. She was a year older than me. I remember first meeting her at DPC and our talks during nap time. Then I remember how we randomly met up again when I was still in H.S. I couldn't believe it was her then, pregnant, Lunel's girl, and I definitely can't believe it was her that Emely was telling me about when she called me saturday morning as I was driving up.

I see J and I can't even imagine to think what she felt during her last moments, I feel for Lunel b/c he has to explain to Q that mommy isn't coming back. I hope he steps up, and I think he will, at least I pray he will, for he has to love Q not only as much as he does now but a million times more to even relate to the love /chrissy had for Q. I know she's better now and she'll watch over her son better this way. But It's still shocking. She was only 23....

Day 2 of Jayden's B-day Extravaganza (lol)
Monday, June 9, 2008

After having been on the phone numerous times.. FINALLY David and I landed reservations to a character breakfast!!! One of the moms at DPC recomended it to me, but I thought so have all the other people when I made reservations (and edited them). She definitely sold it to me though when she showed me pictures and when she told me of her experience! Too Cute!
So we headed out super early to the Beach Resort where we had a breakfast reserved a 7:30am for J's birthday at Cafe May! It was a buffet (the food wasnt great for me, but thats because I don't really like breakfast foods except for sunny side up eggs and hashbrowns), I think everyone else enjoyed it. I know Jayden did. They even had Mickey waffles, lol. Too bad, now that I think about it, I didnt take a picture! Boo. Well the characters that were there to great Jayden were Goofey, Chip and Dale (I can't tell who's who, I know one has a red nose and the other a black one) and Minney! I think J's favorite was Minney. J definitely loves the girls, and he's such a flirt that they love him. I can't wait for his girls have cooties stage, lol.
Off to the Magic Kingdom!!!

We got to the Magic Kingdom on the bus. David and I wanted to go on the MonoRail and/or the Boat taxi, but the transportation from the resort was a bus. Still retty cool because we didn't have to move the car to go anywhere. Our first ride was the Tigger and Pooh ride. We thought Jayden would love it because he can point out to Tigger and Pooh (especially on his bibs) but the ride went really fast, still he was fascinated looking at all the bright colors. Next we went on the PeterPan Ride. David and I sat together and pretended to be pirates...Arghhh (We got a good picture), then we wondered why we were trying to be pirates when peterpan is about young kids?.... but it's not our fault, those are the seats they put us in. Then we went on It's a Small World. I thought this for sure was going to be Jayden's favorite ride! But there was so many things going on, all the different people and characters moving, so Jayden was amazed looking from one side to another, so as to not miss a thing! It wasn't really until the end when it was moving slowly while people got off that he was able to listen to the song and bob his head. This is where Keith and Mike joined us... sort of. [It may have been different if Keith was alone because they hung to the back for the most part making it awkward for me because I didn't know where to go, either the front where David was leading the pack, the middle with my parents, or the back. It is very hard to please anyone! But this trip was not about me, so to continue] Next was Dumbo, and if I do say so myself... this ride was awful! LONGEST LINE for like two minutes none of which J actually seemed to like.

Then we went to the PHILLARMAGIC! THis by far was the best ride for J and it wasnt even a ride, lol. HE LOVED IT! (I dont think I can bold it enough) He kept the 3-D glasses on and sang along when it was music, flinched when things seemed to be thrown at the audience, ad grasped on tightly to me when he got startled by noise from the film. I think after this we had lunch. We then went to the Judge's tent and to Mickey's country house to meet Mickey! It was such a long line, but finally we got to Mickey and Minnie. Cute pictures - personally I think David took better ones than the professional. O yes, by this time we are all super pooped! It was sooooo HOT! We went next to Donald's boat, where J cooled off (me too) with the water fun. He loves the water, I think if it was up to him, he'd still be playing at the hotel's pool! Then we went to go see PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN! but BOOO it was still closed! Grrr Matey. So we went to the enchanted Tiki Room. Jayden liked it too and there was A/C =]

After this, we decided to head back to the hotel and use the pool. We could go and then come back for the parade and the fireworks, but they told us they were going to check for room keys, so Keith and Mike couldn't do the same.

J finally took a nap! A VERY LONG NAP, and he actually missed some of the night parade, but I video taped it for him... which reminds me I think we should sit down and watch it soon. But he woke up for the fireworks and he liked them very much pointing to them as they went up in the sky!

That night we all CRASHED into our beds.

Next year I think EPCOT would do nicely! and during the week, but even better if I can give Jayden a birthday pass but for 09/06/2009, because it is really hot in June!!!!!! lol.

Sunday, June 8, 2008

Theres so much to say about today! Our trip to orlando was great! J sang. He napped. And we got here which seemed eternal!! The allstar resort is really nice. We checked in and went straight for the pool. The best part was the kiddie pool j loved it and seeing other children around he was trying to walk more and even stood balanced for some time! Walking is near!! Then downtown disney where j found a new love... Mickey! Magic kingdom awaits us tomorrow morning... Can't wait!!

1 week! + RANDOMNESS (always)
Monday, June 2, 2008

1 week officially till J turns one!!!! I'm so excited my Gordito is growing up (tear - no david, not really, lol) but I am so excited, this has been a year full of ups and downs for me emotionally but Jayden and I couldn't have done it with out la ITA, el AGUE and that Tio Baluga! I'm excited for our first family trip to disney in a while! We used to go a lot when we were younger, but with everyone going off to school it wasn't so easy to do it anymore. I, along with David, am getting more knowledgeable about the park and things to do that will be Jayden friendly, lol. I ask everyone I meet with children and David of course reads, lol. He's the book worm of the two of us! Everything is set, we have a semi itinarary, and a list of things to pack, now to get the bag down from the attic. lol. anyways im just too excited for words, and noticing by J's reaction to the disney store, lol I hope and truly believe he's going to LOVE IT! well at least like it as much, lol. No high expectations there as long as he is just as happy there as he is here, and thats hard to do, b/c that little gordo has a huge smile like 23/7 and that's even including sleeping! lol. He still from time to time smiles in his dreams, i love it. =]

There's nothing greater than having the weekends all to myself with J, well the family too, lol but yeah since they get to spend the most time with him m-f while i'm at work and school, i'm greedy and claim the weekends! We wake up early, hang out, play with everything i can find! sing songs, practice walking, go to the playground, play in the sand (accomplishment for today... he did not attempt to eat the sand, lol), go on errands, read books -J LOVES BOOKS!

J is also developing even more of a personality! He choses what he wants to eat and what he doesn't. He is extra persistent when it comes to using a fork and a spoon. Good and bad, good because he's learning, bad because he only wants to feed himself and he gets aggrevated! I will admit, I have little luck with feeding him at times. I have no problem when it's just the two of us, but when he knows there are other people around he takes advantage of making me look bad, lol. When we are alone though he eats super well. I dont know how to explain it, but it's like we do it slowly and with less importance on having to eat, and he actually eats.

On a random side note, I want to go back to church I think... but not St. Andrews, I had a bad experience there and was totally turned off, but at times I think I should go back, not only for me, but for J. I think he needs it, to grow up where there is faith and not this sense of hopelessness i sometimes feel. IDK? I might adventure to the one by parkland or St Elizabeth. 1 because they are the closest ones, and two I heard good things about the parkland one. I tried St. Elizabeth once, but I dont remember why we never went back.

On another sidenote... 1 week till my 1 year mark of nursing J! I am very surprised I've been able to make it this far. With work, especially when they started not giving us lunches, I figured my BF days were done. but nope, 1 more week. I know I'm supposed to start weaning him instead of just going cold turkey, but I think I'll do it after our disney trip and once work is done for the school year so I can not worry so much about sleep at night. Plus I think once I get the hang of school with no DPC I am going to go back to working at the restaurant, I need to have some type of income for the next 3 months!

On a personal side note, i have big decisions to make within a week. I can't postpone them forever, I need to make up my mind, and stop with the what ifs, stop with the feeling bad and the worrying, because things will be the way they will be. I'm hoping for the better, but they may get for the worse in one aspect.

My mom is going to Colombia! I wish J and I could go with her. First, J doesnt have a passport, thanks to his father, and two, when she is going I can't go because of school. I would love to take J! I think it would be... interesting. And I know my mom is also not going to have her mind at ease not being with J! Hopefully one day when he's not too old to appreciate family!
