Not bad weather outside

Today is so beauitful. Yet, cold. It seems to be warming up which it in 40s degree. I am hoping the weather will be warmer. So, we don't have to wear coats.

While Tristan in school, I lets Anthony to go play outside to enjoy the fresh air. He had some blast playing his bike... playing with the dirt and shoveling the dirt too. I let him play for an hour before I can pick up Tristan from his preschool.

When we came home, we played again outside for more then an hour. They had a blast until I had to tell them time to go inside. I cant bear with cold weather. My hands turns numb. It took me a while to tell the boys time to go inside. Mama is cold!!! Finally we all went inside to keep us warm!

I am glad there is no more snow on the ground. I just hoping the weather will be warminig up. I am sure, it will be. :)

I have been reading Karen Kingsbury books lately. I love it. Its help me to understand more clearly. Also, I wanted to learn about God's and his love. I am still learning about him. I wanted to understand more clearly about him. so, I can explain to my kids too. Of course, we have talk about it. But not in depth yet. We are planning to buy our kids' children bible book. We have one a big children book. I think we should get a smaller one for them to be easier to carry around. I will check it out at Walmart then.

Of course, I wanted to help myself to be good mother, good wife, good friend, good daugter, and good sister too. I am sure everyone feels that way as well. I just wanted to find a scripture to help me to be good person. Yes, I know I am good better, I do feels that I wanted something more than that. I guess I have to look up in bible to see myself more.

I should take a look soon. Alright let me go now. it s getting late now. nite nite.

A week later

Now I am back, to type up. Now it s a week later. Tristan have been feeling a lot better now. He had fever for three to four days. He have been taking nap - a long nap than I would expect for him to take. He normally don't take nap. His lip is getting better. Yet, it s dry and cracked on his lip. I tried to put lip moisture on it to keep it moist than being dry on his lip. He haven't eat as much in few days. Last week, he was complaining about his mouth. It s hurts him when he was eating chicken nuggets with ketchup. He really wanted it. Me and Dan tried to tell him because its acid on in it. it s hard to explained for him. I told him just drink your water/juice to help to calm down. Over the weekend, he is more back to himself. He can eats some than being complaining about his mouth hurts. I am glad that he's all better. Now, his fingers is peeling. I was like, oh no. I asked my mom about it why? It s all relate to Scarlet fever. CRAZY VIRUS! We are so grateful that Tristan is all better.

We were worrying about Anthony's. We tried our best as we can to keep his hands clean... don't touch your brother, Tristan.. and on and on. About on thursday, Anthony have a cold. Just running nose. THen on saturday, he was kinda worse. We had to take to him to doctor to be check up. Sure enough, he needed to be cultured for strep throat. And gave him a mediciation to fight his nasty cold. On sunday, I called the doctor to make sure, if Anthony have strep or not. Its negative! I am happy that Anthony don't have it. But gotta to give him medicence to get him better.

Its not only Anthony. I am sick too. Anthony and I have a same thing. IT s nasty cold virus with headaches and sinus pressure. Hopefully, it will get better this week. I am sure it will be.

Tristan went back to school yesterday. He seems to be good and happy to see everyone. :) Tristan had no school last week to due to president week which it's good new. I don't like to take Tristan out of school many times. Yes, he s young preschooler. I am so nervous and exciting about Tristan's attending to Kindergarten!

Few weeks ago, Me and the kids went to Elementary school to meet principal and kindergarten teacher. My mom came with me to interpreted for me. She tried her best to sign. Not as expert to sign. But I can understand her gesture and her talk and her lipreading at the same time. Tristan was kinda exciting to go to "big school" that's what he calls it. We have been talking about it once a while. I know it will help him to have an idea about it. And showing him the pictures about school. We have been going to library like twice a week to get some books/movies. He understands the concept of it.

Back to the point, we were visiting the school. The principal and teacher wanted to meet Tristan and us too to get know about Tristan's. They are so friendly. Tristan was very shy. Anthony just out speaking when they asked questions to Tristan's. Tristan would just stared at him and nodded or not move. Anthony would reply some of his questions. It s so funny how Anthony would stand up for his big brother. Normally , Big brothers would stand up for their younger. Of course it will take time for Tristan's courage.

We have met school nurse and speech teacher. They are very very friendly and very understanding. Its nice school. So, we will see from there. :)

It s time for me to get to bed now. Nite nite. hugs

Feb 2009

What a day for me and Dan's. Tristan is not feeling good. He had a nasty fever since yesterday. He had a headaches and throwing up. We have been giving me tyl. He kept saying his throat hurts. We took him to doctor this morning to see what's up. Its turned out that he have a step throat. He asked us, if he have a rash. He didn't have any rash this morning.The doctor said, it s step throat. He looked at his throat to see it, sure enough it s shows that his throat is red, swollen inside and his lip too... and red spot on it. and not only that, his touge is white/green color. So, he took a culture step to see if he have step throat. We will find out tomorrow morning.

We gave him a medication. Few hours later, he have been taking nap alot alot of sleep all day/ nite since yesterday. I found out that he had rash on his body. We had to called the doctor. She/he said, stop the medication (my mom called up for me). We went to get bendalyo to reduce his rash and throat. We will call in the morning to see if it s step throat. So, we will see then. Right now, Tristan is sleeping. Gets well, sweetie! I am glad that Anthony is not sick at all. We have to keep an eye on them - both of them.


Recently, we went to see our friends Alicia, and Nathan in Kingston, NY to celebrated my friend's daughter. She just turned one year old. She s beautiful baby girl, Amelia! They had a party at my gym... which it s wonderful place for kids to have fun. My boys had a great time there. Happy Birthday Amelia!

On Saturday, it s valentine's day. Dan and the boys gave me roses and card. We gave the boys cards and fun stuff like candy box - a small one, and penical.. bubbles and stickers. they loves it. Dan took me out to eat. we had a good time to spend time ourselves. it s nice dinner too at Bachstor Feast?? Its an Italian restaurant. GREAT GREAT FOOD! WE LOVE IT!

Happy Valentine's Day!

And later that nite, we watched Fireproof. its excellent movie for marriage couple. Every one should watch this movie! Its very enjoyable to watch! We had watched 'facing the giants'. And 'flywheel' too. what a great movie too. it s Christian moives. I loves it very much. it s helps me to understand more clearly on based on our lives - everyday life. Not only that, I have been reading a lot of books lately by Karen Kingsbury. She s great author! I loves it. It s helps me to understand clearly on based our lives daily. I think everyone should read it. If you do, enjoy it!

Jan 2009

Wow, the time have gone so fast.

Well, the good new that I got a new hearing aid in the end of Dec 30th. It was okay experience for me. I had to go back to audiology to re set the program to get the right setting to hear better.

it s pretty loud. the boys teasing me when they talks they were screaming... i had to tell them to calm down. They knew from that moment. And they teasing me again with their loud voices.

I noticed that this hearing aids that I am wearing now, is not the best one. I likes the previous hearing aid, which they don't make it anymore. Sad, huh?

Something that I have to deal with it. And we will see from there.

Well let's see in Jan. Well it s had been snowing on and off. The boys really enjoyed the snow very much. I tried my best to keep them warm. It had been crazy outside. The temp have been dropped to under 20's degrees. It's so freezing. We had to keep us warm and eats warm/hot food. I don't like it, because, it s too cold... its too much work and hurt my hands badly. My hands have been dry lately. I have been putting lotions a lot to keep it moist. Its driving me crazy! Hurry up, no more cold weather. I am waiting for spring to come out. SO we can play outside, go to playground, and have picnic and take a walk too.

So, we will see.

Cant believe that I am little behind!

I just can't believe that I am little over a month behind! I can be so overwhelmed here and there of course, during the holidays... going to audiology....taking Tristan to school.... being sick with a bad repeat a BAAAADDD cold/cough.....cleaning up. That's typical of me those days in over a month now.

I see that I wrote last blog in beginning of Dec. I didn't record anything about Thanksgiving.

Let me think back to see anything special that day. Hmm.. only thing, that my grandma came over to have dinner with us. We had a normal dinner of Turkey, sweet potatoes.... green bean casserole... rolls.. stuffing.... and of course some dessert of pumpkin pie and apple pie. Nothing can beat that! :) I remember that after we ate... we colored some pictures, sing some songs from Tristan's school about Thanksgiving. It s cute. And of course the best part that the boys love is to DANCE!!! They were having a blast dancing along with me and my grandma! We all love it! It was almost a hour that we were dancing on and off with all the giggling and laughing. Its fun to watch my boys do their own tricks of "break dance" on the floor! Its funny to see their own characteristics style dance moves. It s a nice thanksgiving too. Of course we all miss everyone else (families and friends) We all think all of you! Hugs to all!


Now, let talks about what's happening in December. Let's see.


Hmmmm.... In December.. Jeeze the time have gone so fast! Well, Tristan had Christmas party at school. He enjoyed it very much. There patina?? feast. His class made horse. I will post the pictures to share with you. Also, they played art craft on white sandwiches bag with their colorful Christmas stickers. They had party snacks. And sang some songs. And the best part is to meet Santa Claus. And gave everyone a gift. Everyone really enjoy it every much. Tristan asked me and Tristan's speech teacher, where is his reindeers. Cute when he asked. We told him that you have to ask Santa. Sure enough, he s so brave to ask him. Santa told him they are on the top of the roof. :-)

On Christmas eve, it s really crazy for sure that day! I had to clean up the house. I made cookies dough, found out that the oven is broken that day. :-( I didn't know that. My dad went to work and came home early. He went to all the stores to find the STOVE... he didn't find the right kind for it. 'Cuz, it s sliding stove.

So, the boys helped me cleaning up. I am thankful for that to help me along. I was so stressed out that day. But i needed to remind myself to chill out.

So that evening.... We had seafood dinner which it s great food.WE had lobster, coconut shrimps which we LOVE that. Cod fish, and other fish, i forget. we had pasta of course. My cuz Mary was with us and her baby Leo and her finannce, Victor. And my brother Eric and Jenn. It s nice and enjoyable. Then little later, Rubina and her hubby and include their son came over for little bit to drop the big basket gift to my mom.

The boys had a great time that nite. They played blocks that they got from his uncle Eric and Jenn. And cat train set, tractors, and batman motorcycle rc from Mary's. They had a great time. It was so late to get my boys to bed! I was so beat! They went to bed around 11 30 pm THAT S SO LATE FOR THEM! They were so pooped out. :-P


On Christmas morning, when we got up the boys was surely exciting. They were so suriped that they got a stuffy horses for Anthony and Tristan's. Tractor to ride on ... motorcycle power wheel or power on whatever its called it, and few board games, puzzles to play and few clothes, and batman cave.They had a blast! They had a wonderful time.

About dinner... well, my dad went to my grandma's place to cook the ham that day. It's turned out fine. :) we can cook on the top stove, vegetables, and few others.
And had some dessert as usual. :-P

Merry Christmas everyone!

We celebrated Anthony's birthday at home. We had ice cream cake for him. He wanted to have an ice cream cake. We gave him gift. He really enjoy it. He got motorcycles to play with it. And other peeps in my family gave him gift too.

On New Year Eve, we stayed home. We had a little party. Everyone went to bed before midnight. WE were all tried that day. I stayed up for a little bit and watched tv for little.

The sad part that we got all sick in end of Dec. It was nasty cough that we had. it was not go away in Jan. We had it for few weeks. Its took about a three to four weeks to get better. Everyone got it. it s crazy virus. Glad that everyone getting better. :)

Happy New Year to all!

Halloween family picture - 2008

What a nightmare experience!

we went to the store walmart super walmart in harrsion rt 17th.

Me and my boys went shopping at walmart with my mom. It s our first time to go there.. but not mom's. She went there before.

I had to helped mom to find a pant for my brother. It s speical pant to work for underground. Then I told Anthony stay by mommie. But he ran around then came back.. then ran again. i told him stay by mommie.

All the sudden, I cant find him.. i was yelling , "anthony" over and over. it s so freaking for me.

We were all looking for him I had to go to customser service to inform the workers. So they annouced on the speaker. Meanwhile, the workers of walmart were looking for him too. And not only that two milarity men were looking for my son too.

I was started to feel nervous and don't know what will happen to him. I was so upset and starting to crying. I was holding Tristan's hand. He knows what is happening. We were looking for him. It s took about what, five mintues that we had to look for him. Finally mom said, they find him. My mom heard someone saying we found him.

Then I saw Athnoy and gave him a hug. I told him don't run like that. you have to stay by mommie.. the lady said, he was hiding in the clothing rack.

Thats what we believed that anthony was spoooked out when it s happened to him.

I was having still having flash back. i cant get off my mind that day.

i was lookind through the clothing racks all over the men secetion that where we were. Of course, it s big store. Never know what will happen.

Oh gosh, i had to hold him.. and put him in the cart and belt him up!
The one of milartary man said that he happy that my son is found. he know that feeling it s happened to him, his daugther.

Tristan stayed with us the whole time while were in the store. I am glad that they didnt run after of this situation!
we were talking about it how and etc.
My mom saw a lady she believe that she s undercover that she acts like she s shopping. it s like she have to watch out for the store peeps who steal things and etc.

I told dan when we got him. he shocked his head. he s just happy that he found. he asked me how long he was missing .. i told him like about five mintues. the walmart workers seems to willing to help out.

I am so grateful that he s found! thanks to the lord! Whew! I hav to remind myself to tell the boys that stay with momma and explain, remember when Anthony got lost and etc. Just have to be more careful. I am happy that he s okay! Whew!

what a day for all of us!

OPP!

OPP! I haven't post as much lately! We are so busy! About two weeks ago, I took the boys to Matterhorn Nursery. Tristan have no school on monday... which it s christopher columbus day. Dan had to work. :(

But I took them there to enjoy the fun to get pumpkin to paint the pumpkin... go on hayride... and enjoy the nature walk as well. It s very nice. The kids had a great time. The weather that day was very nice and cool. Beautiful day! I will post the pictures other time. Of course we got messy from the painting. But the boys had a great time.

i would say about two weeks ago. We went to apple picking at Dr. Davis Farm with my cousin and her baby. We had a good time and enjoyed to picked the apples. But the prices itself went up. Last year, i remeber that we paid for 25 dallors for a big bag i think 25 pounds I might be wrong. but it s BIG bag. This time was 29 dallors!! Of course the economy effect everything! Well, Dan couldn't come with us. He was so terid. He just came home 7 30 in the morning! He worked like a mad dog -- 22 or 23 hours straight to finish the project! He have been working lately to this project. He really enjoys it very much! I will post the pictures when I have a chance. Last week, I went with Tristan's school to Matterhorn Nursery with his school. Everyone had a great time. The classmates went on the hayride.... and had snack.... seen fish pond.... sheep/goats and mini horse (i believes)... and picked a small pumpkin. Everyone really enjoyed the fun at Matterhorn Nursery with the clasemates and teachers! It s great experience for all preschoolers! :) Tomrrow it will be HALLOWEEN!! It will be fun day/nite! Tristan is going to be cowboy.... Anthony going to be Puppy! I will post the pictures this weekend. :) no worries! Nite nite everyone! Hugs

We saw his sister who wanna to see us so badly. we had a good time there for a short visit. during the week, we went to walt disney to magic kingdom. We had a good time but we took an island hopper that you can hop to different park under Disney parks. We went to Aminal Kingdom then went to MGM. I told Dan, that i dont wanted to do that to do island hopper when we have Tristan a little bit older or when we have more kids. I told Dan that I prefer to stay in one park to have fun and chill to watch our kid and futrue children too to have fun and enjoy the actioning in the park. Dan totally agrees with me. It s nice to spend time with Dan's parents to see Tristan. Of course they miss us a lot! And we miss them too.
Just so BUSY!! dan took me to his old school at Florida School for the Deaf and Blind. they couldnt let us in. The pupuse of secuirty i can understand that. But it s really nice there. It was raining that day. We met Cominnee there and few other peeps too. IT s good to see them there. :) ITs very nice area in St. Augsitine. We will go there again in the future to see different places and sightseeing as well.

He put his knees on the floor and his hand on the floor too. he tends to rock himself. it s so funny how he do it. He loves to look at the mirror at my 'rent's house. he keep laughing himself by looking at it OHHHH the dog!! Remi who is a dog. Tristan loves him i mean Remi is so afraid of him cuz tristan tends to scream not scream just like hyper sounds!! HAHAH He tends to laugh and trying to reach Remi!! HEHEh it s so cute to see it.

Pray for the LORD for the help and bless those peeps who are trying and etc. however, there is other hurricance coming. GREAT! Who knows which part will going to hit. In lower part of Florida, people are leaving to be safe and INCLUDE NEW ORLEAN! Thats good to be safe. Just wanted to be safe for the people. They had learned from hurricance Katrina. It s the worse experience and seeing that effects us and others too. Now, we know that if there is hurriance coming, then gotta to pack and leave to be safe, it s going to be strong effect.

TRistan is doing so great! He is getting so big now! It s ubelieveable that he will be one year next week!! ONE! WOW the time have gone so fast, fast!!

Blah....

wow, it have been a while to write like this. I am so busy alot and trying to do things to get things done. Tristan is doing good. He s getting bigger and learning alot of vocbulary. i am so proud of him. He is still trying to accept the hearing aids but it will take a while for it to adapt it. Hopefully, some day soon he will be wearing them alll the time.

Dan is the same as old. He s looking looking for job. Just waiting to hear from them.

For me, i am wiating for the postal exam to see when i will be taking taking the test. I started to study last night. I wanted to pass this. So, I can improve the skills and do well on the exam. I needs the money so badly. If I pass it, I can work for short term to take care of Tristan and the baby who will be coming out in dec/jan. Once, the baby will grows little bit every day. I would be working longer to save more money to put into the saving account. Also, I wanted to have money wise with the budget. I wanted to pay off the bills. Gosh it not that easy. I just feels alot of frustion. I wish that i already have my baclchlor degree. It will be more easier for me to get the job and etc! But Now it s more challenge for me. 'Cuz I dont know what i wanted to do for bacholor degree. It s not that easy.

Well, just wait and see how is it go then. I was thinking to do like business or medical billing, or cooking or teacher. I was thinking about interior design. After i realized, i dont think it s for me. Cuz it will take a lot of time. And I dont wanted to take over the time with works not with my kids. My kids are first. I wanted them to have fun and enjoy with their lives and us too. Well, just wait and see how is everything going so far.

take care

LIFE, LIFE, LIFE!

Just worrying about the future. Not sure what will happens, like would be bad or will be okay.


Right now, the economy crisis are here. HOping there will be changing to make people to be less stressful and etc. I am hoping that the decision that Bush is going to make today/tonight will not take $700 billions dallors. It will hurt us badly. It will hurt the business and etc. It s not going to be easy of course. It will be VERY OVERWHELEMED! IF that is the case, meaning that the taxes will be increase and everything will be very very very hard, and also hard to get approval for cars/houses and others.

I am hoping that there is other way to reduce it. They should reduces the price down. IF that so, it will help other people's business. And not only that gas prices too. They should reduce the price but it s from other countries who make a decision to increase the price.

So, we will see what will happen with debating from President and other staff's decision what to do.

I am prayin' to lord to find other way.

Hot Dog -- Nathon's most famous World hot dog in Coney Island!

A Fun Day!

Today, we had a good time. We took our boys to NYC to go to Disney Store on 5th and 55th street. We stayed there about at least less than a hour and half. We were browsing around to see what they have. It s very nice and colorful disney store. Me and Dan see something that we would like to give to the boys for christmas from us. But we will see in the future of what is the plan for christmas break.

We met characters from Disney. We seen Pluto and Minnie Mouse. We took some pictures already. It s not a lot characters that we seen in FLA or Calforina! Some day we will go there again in FLA. Hopefully in the future we will go to Calforina to Disneyland, Universal Studio. It will be fun, yet not now. Someday!

I will upload the pictures that we took from today.

Anthony loves Pluto. He laughed when Pluto tried to licked to Anthony's. It s cute! But Tristan won't do it to go by himself like Anthony did. Anthoy walked to himself to see Pluto and Minne. But Tristan kinda scared of it. But When Dan hold Tristan.... he's okay with it. So, we took family picture with Pluto and Minnie as well.

We went to get Mr. Pototes head for the boys. We didnt get body of Mr. Pototes head, because we have it. We got them some various things like shoes, hats, different kind. The boys love it!

Dan wanted to see train store in Brooklyn. We waited in the car while Dan looking around in the train store. He told me it s cheaper, which it s good new. I told Dan that it s time to eat for lunch, it s kinds late. We had a late lunch. We went to Coney Island which it s near by the train store, about ten mintues, I would say.

We had lunch at Nathan's world famous hot dog place!! I wanted to show Dan's where is the world famous hot dog that was so popular since early 1900's. We had fun, we stayed there for very short about 30 mintues and looked at the candy store. The boys wanted the prezetel.. but no luck to find it. We gave them small lolipop. They were so exciting for that. It was time to go home.

We took few pictures of city while we were driving. We were trying to aviod the traffic there and there. it was not that bad.
So, we had a good time today.Tomrrow, we will go to Congers Italain Featival. We will see how is that.

Updating what s happening so far since august and september

Just to update what is happening so far. Last week, we went to see ENT in the city. BOY!!! Tristan had very hard day! Tristan refused to let the doctor to look at him. He s so strong. I couldn't hold him

He went to see audiologist for bit. He was scared at first then he opened very nicely. His right ear shows 65 -70...

Finally, we went to see the doc. Me and my mom and the secretary had to hold Tristan down on the laying chair to let the doctor to look his ears. Everything looks good. Boy, Tristan cried and cried. Glad that was over!

However, the doctor recommend us to get Tristan to have cat scan and blood work and genetic testing as well. This Wednesday, he will have cat scan it will be crazy morning for me and Dan. We have to be at the Nyack hospital at 8:30 am. Also, The doctor and nurse will put Tristan to sleep while doing the cat scan to be prepare. I know he will NOT BE HAPPY. Also, we will do blood work at the same time. So it will be easier for all of us.

On Sept 4th, he will go to the city again for having a surgery to have remove that he had extra skin tag next to his ear. It s better to have it remove before he will enter school next year. I don't wanted Tristan to feel low self esteem because of that. Just wanted to get over with it. I am glad we already taking care of that. Dr. Mike Rothfeild will doing to do that. He have no problem with that. He already checked his ear. everything looks good.


After we came home from the hospital. Trsitan was very tried of course the medicine effected that. Around in the late afternoon close to dinner time, he felt warm. So we gave him Tylenol to keep the temp. down and keep an eye on him. Over the weekend, he seems be to good health. :)

Two days ago, it s his first day of preschool. He loves it! He have a wonderful time, He will be attending five times a week from 12 30 to 3pm. I am glad that he likes it so much. The teachers are very warm and friendly to children that make them open to each other. That's what we wanted to see, from shy to open up to each other by talking, sharing, showing of 'show and tell', colors, and play each other. It will be a lot of fun for all of them!

Yesterday, we went to nyc again for check up for follow up for Tristan's. Dr. Mike Routhchild already took care tape on Tristan's. It s done. Of course, Tristan was crying while the doc tried to take it out. His boo -boo shows red. The doc informed me that it will go away and the scar will fade as well. I m happy everything is well. :)

We went back to the nyc for genetic counselor. Because it s refer to us to go by audiology. I am hoping no more doctors after that, expect pediatrics doctors and audiology that we have been going to. Genetic counselor have been asking some questions of our families histories. The boys were pretty good in the beigning but it was pretty long time that we stayed there. At least about three hours, i would say. While we were driving to the city, Tristan kept saying, I dont wanna to go to the city, I hate the city. We have been telling him, that we re not going to the hospital. We are going to talk, that's all. Of course, he was upset about that. We met few people who wanted to questioning us and mesure Tristan's head, ears, his height, and his weight. They are just doing their evlatuion. I m glad that Tristan willing to do that. Its take a while to let Tristan to see how much this and that. He kept saying, I wanna to go to the store! Then the next part, that they wanna to take the pictures of my face, Anthony's, and Tristan's. I went first, GOSH, Anthony had a fist! He creid and creid while they were taking a picture from side to side face. They are using cool technology. And we were waiting to the laptop to upload the picture to dots it up and show the 3 d of my face. IT S SO FREAKING! It s freaking becuase they rotoated the face it s so freaking. Its like the show, called, BONES. When they demostetion of ed faces/person. ITs looks like that.
So, the next person is Anthony. He s doing good so far. I have to tell him to look at the bear's nose that is the top of the product of camera. It s good so far. Then the next is Tristan. JEEZE! he wont do it! I had to hold him and take a picture of his face. We got it but not a good picture. It s a picture of him crying/screaming. At least we got it. We have to send them few other pictures of Daniel of close up and others too. I am hoping we are done with the doctors for now! We will see. Tristan miss his afternoon class today, we cant make it on time to get there. It s pretty a long day for all of us!

The good news for me, that I am approved for getting hearing aids by VESID (VR counselor). I am happy about that. I will be getting the hearing aids in two to three weeks. Hopefully, everything will be ready for ear molds and hearing aids as well. So, we have to see how I would likes it and etc. It have to go through process step by step to see if I can hear with new hearing aids.... if not, audiologist have to find other hearing aids will help. We just have to play around.The hearing aids that I have is almost ten years old!! It s time for me to get new one!! I am so grateful that VR will help me out to get new hearing aids. Right now, the hearing aids are crazy prices. VR helps women who are stay at home mom to take care of children. That s why. I am grateful for that! :)


Dan is doing well. The old job wanted Dan's back. But Dan is not going to take that chance after what they treated him. SO, we will see in the future with the jobs situations in different location. But not right now. Perhaps in Jan's??? That's what my VR sent me contacted until Jan. So, we will see from there.

Anthony is taking up a storm. He's still learning a lot. He's so smart. He is good boy! And Tristan too. They both becoming mature. Keep a fingers cross!!!

Just to let you the update of everyone! Hope everyone is well!! Hugs Hugs!

Exciting new!

Exciting new to share with ya'll!

Yesterday, I took a road test near my home area. And I finally passed my road test! It s so exciting! And of course, finally too!!

When I was in college, I took classes for driving. Yes, I was so freaking nervous about driving around. I was not confident into myself. I was kindna not ready yet. Even though, I am okay with driving. Just that in my head/mind, that I am not ready for it.

Yet, I am ready and feels alot of confident into myself. That's great new for me! Before took a road test, I have been driving alot for my mom's and going to stores, which it s good practices for me. And good start too!

WHOO!!!


A big day tomorrow! My cousin asked me to be a godmother for her baby son. I am so exciting for that. I just finished making candy wrapper. It's fun to do and enjoyable, too.

I am so beat!! I am going to bed. Nite nite! Just to share the excitement new!
