the news we got today was not what we wanted to hear but is something that we will deal with...surprisingly, I am really at peace with the news...
I really knew what the doctor was going to say, and it is like God is giving me a sign that all will be OK with it...
I told Tim but noone else...the others will freak out...Ross is taking it as we will not talk about it until we get a final word on it type thing...and actually that is all right with me..
he and I are getting along amazingly well right now (before the new thing too) and I hope it continues...

Saturday and Sunday...
a little empathy here people...I had a rough day...first up weekly shopping at Target, then off to San Manuel for lunch, home for a nap, and then finished off the night (I was out after dark !!!) at the movies...
wait a minute that is not necessarliy a bad day right? ok then, I could get used to this, I suppose...not sure I know how to make this happen on a regular basis tho, might need some help to show me how...OK???
oh and can I just add, sharing a bowl of ice cream after George Clooney has eaten it first? ummm, yes please...(it happened in the movie...)
all of the above happened on Saturday...
Sunday morning we got up and went to Sam's and had one of their hot dogs for lunch, came home and made: bacon and potato hash and pecan pie muffins for dinner...Tim and I liked dinner but don't think Ross liked it all that much...but, hey cannot please everyone now can I?
the picture of Zoe, she just got the pkg in the mail from Crazy 8 and had to wear this adorable turq. jumper with the striped leggings and floral shoes...too cute...

Harajuku mini
have not given up on "what she wore" today...she has worn jeans all week, cause of the cold temps...today tho, is a different story...remember that she and uncle Tim went to Japan (oh about this time last year) and on the train going into Tokyo, they saw the city of Harajuku but were not able to go to the city itself...imagine both of their surprise when Gwen Stefani designed a clothing line (for Target) based on that city...and OMGoodness the line of clothes does not disappoint...I am such a sucker for children's clothes (in case you have not noticed, wink wink*)...you can ask me anything about kid's clothes, and I most likely can tell you were to get the best leggings, cutest shoes, whatever...always has been kind of a passion of mine...so Gwen's line of clothes is called Harajuku Mini (for kids) she also has an adult line and Zoe absolutely loves the clothes...some of them, to me, I would not buy (such as an off the shoulder black dress, or a plaid pair of pants with a "butt flap" but all in all the clothes are adorable...for the kids, she has purses, backpacks, barrettes, sox, tights, shoes, you name it they have it...so, back to my story...that is what the princess is wearing today...will take a pic when she gets home from school...she did get a lot of items for "Christmas also...

april
I am a little worried about what will happen to me come April...there are so many pros and cons regarding this...
I in essence have given a year of my life away and got accustomed to a different way of life and in that given year I also changed, I got older (a year !!) my house is messier (that will have to be worked on first...)we have just got used to not being home much (hardly at all...) and that is going to change on March 31st.
in an attempt to get ready for this change, I went to JoAnns tonight...how is that
different? there used to be a JoAnns pretty close to me and many months ago, think it was the Christmas before 2011, they closed that store and I had been used to going to that store 2-3 x a week (yes, that often, check out how much fabric I have)...I have a serious addiction to fabric...I buy what I like, not really knowing at the time what I will do with it...so I have tons and tons of fabric that I need to use but that does not stop me from still looking (and buying too) but I have not been since before April of 2011...
I did not feel good today, a bad migraine...but I thought if I got out of the house, I might feel better so Ross took me to Corona to JoAnns...I think I died and went to heaven...I have truly missed my passion, and I cannot wait to get back to doing what I love to do...
that being said, the year of my life I am also going to miss in some parts...I really am...but there are also parts that have been hard (really hard) for me especially emotionally...my feelings have been hurt so so so so many times and so of course that part will not be hard for me to leave...but we have made some good friends and had some good times and I have loved being the wife of the ER and it is
hard stepping down and handing over the reigns to someone else cause you have been doing it every single day for a year, whether or not you were appreciated, you were still there doing what was expected of you (or going over and above,) and
now you are a nobody...someone who already went through what I am going to go thru, put it best when she said, "one day you are Miss america, everyone loves you, you have a crown and a bouquet of roses. the next day your crown falls off your head and you are holding dead flowers and noone notices you when you come into the room."
I have been preparing myself for this to happen, but as it gets closer and closer, I
find myself getting more and more emotional...I cry easy anyways, but it is really bad right now...
anyway to hopefully try to prepare myself, I bought a couple of patterns tonight...tho not sure if Zoe will want to wear anything that I make anymore...will have to wait and see...if not, maybe Sian will let me and if not, I will maybe go back to making baby items and selling them on Etsy or Ebay...I don't make a lot of money doing that but it is my passion...
just venting cause I am worried about April...

what Zozo wore...
I am journaling what the princess wears most days as I am so in love with her clothes, they have been my passion since this fabulous creature was born...pre K thru 2nd grades were my most favorite of times dressing her...then she did not want
me to dress her for 2 years...now, all of a sudden in 5th grade, she does not mind again, tho she wants a say on whether she likes the outfit when I buy it or not...
my favorite store of all times??? Crazy 8, hands down...used to be Gymboree, but alas she has outgrown them like a year ago...I am only too happy to buy for her this year as this will be the last year...she is in size 14 and that is the highest most
little girl's sections go...
so Friday she picked this dress from Crazy 8, a long sleeved purple knit dress with white leggings and her wonderful purple boots...
today? she picked this darling outfit from Children's Place, a navy striped and floral baby doll top with striped leggings to match...
new year
I was determined to not make any resolutions that I would then not keep as usual...but "my thing" was to just be a better person on a daily basis, therefore
hopefully I would change my life in the process for the better...I also am really
trying one random act of kindness, if not every day, at least a couple of times a week...
how's it going?
not well, according to my standards...
it seems that some people that are "stuck" with me are not in a cooperating mood...
I guess they don't sense the changes I want to make and they are still on board with the old me...(*and totally my fault*) I know... it seems in theory easy to change yourself, but you cannot change the ones around you, and it is a little depressing to totally want to change but it seems that someone is always there pushing you back into the depths of your old life...
while I am on this subject...I am so not understanding the concept of depression...
not sure how "it" can be genetic and carried from one generation to another, when you so desperately don't want it to...remember so vividly my mom in a total "funk" and back then and still saying to myself, "I will never be like that !" yet, I am...
and I see my kids and want so very badly for "it" not to continue to the little ones, but at the same time knowing without intervention it most certainly will...
I do not want this for another year...I really don't...but, in reality what can I do about it...it is not just family that is not cooperating...it is in dealing with anyone that I do on a constant basis...now, some of that will change starting April
1st...but not all will...
I always tell my kids that in dealing with others in a work/social atmosphere, you
train the people around you in how to deal with you...they learn how to treat you, by your actions...you start letting them get away with treating you a certain way,
and they continue cause you let them...why cannot I practice what I preach?
I guess it comes down to, wht do I want out of my life? and let me say, it most definitely is not what is going on right now or has been for a good while...I am an
enabler and I have let others walk all over me, to allow them to talk to me the way that they do...I totally realize that most of the "offenders" do not realize they are hurting feelings, they have just been groomed by me, to treat me this way, and to them it is OK...it is not to me any longer...
more to follow...

new year's
one of my resolutions was to be a better blogger, in hopes that my children will use my blogs for memories, when my feeble mind can no longer remember anything that goes on...
ross went to El Segundo to see his mom for the new year...I like to stay home and clean and get things done that I can't seem to get done when he is here...
Sam, the princess and I went to Carl's Jr. early for breakfast and then we came home and I mostly cleaned...had a headache all day from forcing mycelf to go back to sleep this morning...
for a huge surprise Sam made us dinner tonight: ham, mashed potatoes, green beans and rolls...it was very good made even better that I did not have to cook...
then Tim, Sam, the princess and I played the new monopoly game (did you know that they don't have paper money anymore? everything is dealt with on little atm cards) it is pretty cool...we left the game up as played...
then, the next night we played once again...so far the princess is winning...at first we could not get her to buy any properties, and now she has the most properties and also the biggest bank account and she is ruthless too...
Monday morning I got up and felt pretty good, Ross is still gone so I took pretty pretty princess to get her hair cut and then for a little shopping...she got 2 inches cut from her hair and it looks cute, she likes it that is all that matters, right???
for dinner tonight? made breakfast, cinnamon rolls, sausage and this potato egg bake that I found here: http://www.ourbestbites.com/2011/05/easy-potato-and-bacon-breakfast-casserole/
I have made this before and changed it a little tonight and still would make another change once more but overall dinner was a hit for everyone...Sam and princess also came for dinner and we watched the Rose parade while eating dinner...
helped Zoe do her AR, take a shower, wash her hair and put new conditioner in and then got her clothes out for tomorrow...(Crazy 8 of course, love that store...)
she goes back to school tomorrow tho Sian still has another week off...
