Finally taking care of my headache

I FINALLY decided to go to a neurologist to try to put an end to my miserable headache that has been with me for several years with no answers... He sent me for a cat-scan, and did a full check up on his office.. We'll se...

Happy 95th Birthday to my grandpa!

Today my grandpa turned 95 years old... What a great and long life he has lived so far... He is in the hospital, but receiving tons of love!I got some tests done today, and saw the gastroenterologist... I wasnt too thrilled with her, and I will be looking for a second opinion....

Back to the ER

I wasnt feeling very good, and was feeling very weak... The girls stayed at my dad's house and hubby took me to the ER.. Tons of tests were done, and they are focusing in my liver and kidney... Gotta get an U/S done and see a gastroenterologist in the morning.My grandpa was hospitalized today also... We were at the same hospital, so close, and so far at the same tim...

Mama in the ER

I have a headache since a week already, and today I decided to go to the ER and even though my blood pressure was fine when I got there, it went sky rocket while being there... I went to bed earl...

Night out!!!

Hubby and I got another night out... It was an awesome night and even though I wont be posting details about it, I do wanted to remember when it happened! ...

A big scare with my grandpa!

Today we had a huge scared with my grandpa... Some of you may remember that he had a Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy for him to be able to be fed by a tube on his stomach, instead of his nose... That was 7 months ago, and everything was working just fine...I had a doctor appointment today, and my mom's maid was taking care of the girls for one hour while hubby picked them up... Hubby misunderstood, and picked me up first. That is one of the things that we are more thankful after what happened later.We got to my mom's house and hubby was bathing...

And Camila is GONE....

... from our bed that is!Words cant express how happy I am about this. For one reason or the other, Camila always ended up sleeping with us since a few months ago... We kinda let her because we didnt want her screaming in her bed and waking Mimi up...So, even if we knew it was going to be CHAOTIC, we took the decision and last night was her first night from the rest of her sleeping in her own bed... She cried, Mimi cried, and Gaby complained, but at the end, everybody settle down and she spent the whole night over there (even though I had to...

Laundry day at my dad’s

We have been having a problem with the pipes in my house, and we are having a hard time with lack of water... Today, we had the idea to stop by my dad's house to do laundry... My second nephew Luis Enrique and his mom were there, and we had an awesome time...We washed, play dominoes, watched TV, had lunch AND dinner, and chat A LOT... I have the impression that Mimi and my dad's wife are going to be very good friends.. Mimi eats like there is no more, and my dad's wife loves to cook. Mimi goes after her like a dog goes after his master... As...

Children's Museum

Ariel Enrique is in town and we planned a day with him and his mom (my bro had to spend the whole day taking final exams for the master he is doing)... My mom came along too, and it was an awesome day!!We went to a place called Museo del Trampolin. This was Gaby's second time but it was like a first time, because she was only 2.5 years old the first time we went, so she doesnt remember it... At that moment my mother in law was visiting us from NJ,...

TGIF!!

... do I need to say more...

A visit to the eye doctor

We were all due to see the eye doctor. Mimi needed to have her first check up mostly because we suspected she had the same problem that Gaby has. Also Mia needed to get checked as the preschool is worried that she cant tell the colors, and Gaby needed a follow up. Why today? Since the last couple of days hubby had a swollen eye, and it was getting painful. This morning, his eye was so swollen that he actually call in sick to the school. So, to the eye doctor we all went. We didnt planned to check them all, but we knew that Gaby and hubby...

Happy 3rd Birthday Camila Nicole!! ** UPDATED **

My monkey had an awesome day... She is still sick, and still only having electrolytes, but she is fine, and was very happy as the got TONS of calls... As today was a working day in the school, even though the kids were not there, several of the teachers from the school call her. also, two of my cousins called her, my mom, my dad and his wife, her godfather, and even hubby called her because she was still sleeping when he left.I think I mentioned...

Happy Easter!!!

Mia has been puking all night long and we have no idea what is going on with her, so we didnt do anything special because of Easter. They decorated eggs in school (the last day of school before this week's vacations) and made some baskets in the art class, so they got their taste of Easter anyway.After hubby and I worked for most part of the day, we left to my dad's house for dinner. Six hours later Im still FULL!!! Poor Mia is only having Gatorade, and even though she was puking the Gatorade last night, she is tolerating it now. She has been...

Sassy is in heat

I was just asking the vet yesterday about it, and just today hubby noticed that she is spotting.. We are sure she started today, because they would have noticed at the vet.The vet told us to give him a call 5 months after this happens (cause we need to let the first heat pass on), so he can get us a male pure breed Malamute to mate her. That should be interestin...

Going back home...

Today we woke up at 10:30am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was like a dream come true!!! The girls were running around before that, but they actually let us sleep a little bit longer (how sweet)...We packed, cleaned a bit, ate lunch and headed back home... We stopped by Santiago (the second capital of the country) and pay a visit to one of my aunts... The trip was long, mostly because it started rainning, and we got into our city by 7:00pm.We called the vet, and he was waiting for us to pick up Sassy. He told me that she was an awesome guest, and...

The day we didnt plan...

Today we were suppose to go back home... However, we decided to stay one more day as somebody mention about a very nice water park that was VERY inexpensive ($10 bucks for the adults, and all the 3 girls were free as we could still pass Gaby for a 4 years old girl). Kimberly and Cristian were going with us (kids from 5 to 12 were 6 bucks, and they both fit that age..).We packed the car and off we went! Suddenly hubby noticed that the car wouldnt...

At Cabarete....

Caraberete is another town that belongs to Puerto Plata... The beach from Cabarete is known as one of the best surfing beaches from the American Continent, and has been the spot for Kitesurfing competitions with competitors from all over the world.Two of hubby's coworkers were staying at a villa in the Bali Hai (they are twin sisters... and both work at the school) and we stopped by to spend some time with them.... My friend was waiting from some...

At Sosua...

Gaby got punished (I will talk about it in a future post), and we took away the trip to have an encounter with dolphins that was scheduled for today, so we needed to find something else to do… My friend still needed to run some errands, so hubby and I took 5 kids with us to a close by town called Sosua.We had an early lunch, and then left. We spot a very nice place on the beach surrounded by high cliff walls.... We were in the beach area of one...

At Playa Costambar

As today is a working day for tons of places, my friend had a few stuff to do, as she is trying to rent long term one of the villas… We took the time to go around the town and get to know it a bit.. We also needed to pay rent today, so we had to stop by the bank to make the transfer because that is not something that I dont like to do in a cyber cafe… We also went to 2 stores, and got a few things that we needed.Then, we came back to the villa to...
