Playing catch-up

It's been a while since I have updated. Not that anyone follows my blogs. I only have 2 readers. My sisters. ha ha! And like they don't already know what I've done in the past few weeks.
Unless I have other readers. If I do, please comment! :)

Let's see. Well Halloween was kind of sad this year. I mean normally there are kids everywhere trick or treating at houses. This year, it was little of both. Few kids and few houses giving out candy because of this tough economy right now.

2. I was having a really bad tooth ache so I made an appointment to see the dentist. Unfortuneatly, we don't have any dental insurance, only a dental discount card. I was in so much pain that I had to call the dentist to move my appointment sooner. Luckily they had a cancellation so they were able to see me.
I was told I needed a root canal. As the dentist was working on my tooth, she discoverd that I didn't need the root canal after all, just a filling. My pocket was really happy about that!
I still need to go back for lots of work to be done though. Since we don't have any dental insurance, I kind of put that on the back burner. But now it's time to take care of it. and my husband is also going so it looks like we will have some extra expenses .

3. My mom went to Mexico for 2 weeks. She normally goes during the summer, but since she didn't go this year, she decided to go right before Thanksgiving. So for the past week I have been working from home, and taking care of Adam. The first 2 days Erik didn't have class, so it was the 3 of us. It's been a little tough trying to work and take care of Adam though. As much as I hate my job, as least they are very flexable with me and I do appreciate that.

4. We decorated Diego's gravesite in a Thanksgiving theme. It's simple, but it's looks cute. I will post pictures later.

5.Took the boys for flu shots, and just been busy with little things here and there. it seems like I have spent a lot of time in the kitchen this past week. Cooking breakfast for Adam, lunch for Adam & Erik(when he gets home from school) and then dinner for all of us!! I have also been cooking a bit more to send to my dad since my mom isn't here. So he as least has something to eat when he gets home from work. My sister's also take food for him, so we all try to take care of him.

6. Adam took his first step on Friday (11/14/08)!! he's almost 11 months!

7. Henry had an MRI and THANK God it was good! He will be leaving to Guatemala to visit his father whom isn't doing too well. Hope all goes well with Henry's trip and that his father gets better. (http://www.Henrysbattle.org)


8. This weekend we stopped by to visit my dad. The house seems empty when mom isn't there, but she will be home next Sunday!! God willing.
We left the boys with my dad for a little while while my husband and I went to visit Diego at the cemetery to take him his weekly flower bouquet. I don't want his grave empty of flowers so we take him fresh flowers every weekend.

9. Today Sunday we just stayed home and didn't take the boys outside. It was really bad air. With all the fires that have been going on in the mountains, the air is really bad. the clouds of smoke and ashes everywhere. It's so sad, scary and depressing. So we decided to just stay home and be veggies. We had my dad over for breakfast though. It was nice to have him over. When it was time for him to go, I packed him some left overs and gave it to him for his lunch tomorrow when he goes back to work.

tommorrow is week #2 working from home. So hopefully it will go by quick. Mom comes back Sunday (yey)and I go back to the office on Monday. (boo).

I think I am caught up now. Have a good week!
