not as in gross, but ill!
since Erik had bronchitis, Adam was having the same syptoms last week. He was a sad little guy and when he is sad, then you know he isn't feeling well. So Last week I took him into urgent care. Those people at urgent care must know me by now!! I don't really like to take them into urgent care, but the hours are so much better and so much easier to get them in!
luckily he was ok. just a little cold and cough. Pediatrician prescribed him some cough medicine. 3 days later. he was good again.
Monday, Erik was back at school.
AND on the Friday before, I had spoken to his teacher over the phone to setup a parent conference for this week. She told me the kids would come out of school 1 hour early. I completely forgot to tell my husband.
So Monday he made arrangements with my mom and Adam to pick up Erik at school. She was doing things around the house when she hears someone banging on her back door.. she opens it and there was my poor little boy. HE WALKED TO MOM'S HOUSE ALL BY HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!!!! but he was so proud of himself. Mom said he was standing there with a big grin. I felt horrible for forgetting he was coming out 1 hour early!
Thank God he made it home safely though as there are a couple of streets he needs to cross. Luckily my mom and husband have given him some practice shots walking home, but walking behind him and checking if he looks both ways to make sure no cars are coming before crossing the street..
I felt like such a horrible mother. first time i forget.
Tuesday I wasn't feeling that great. I felt I was coming down with something.
Wednesday morning I had a throbbing headache and body ache and a fever to top it off. so I stayed home. My sweet mother still insisted for Hector to bring Adam to her so that I could rest. boy did that help. I think I slept all day long. I just could not get up. Not because I was tired, just because I wasn't feeling well!
But luckily I was better Thursday and back to work.
Thursday however Erik woke up with a fever again!!!!!! had him stay home from school and rest and rest. Luckily he was ok in the evening again.
Thursday night it was my husband's turn to feel sick.
he took some cold pills and just rested in the evening.. He's feeling better today Friday though, Thank God!
We are just waiting for the weekend to relax a bit.
hopefully no-one else will get sick!

Laid back weekend at home
Well this past weekend, we didn't do anything.
Since Erik stood home from school on Friday because of a fever it continued until Saturday morning.
He told me his ear was hurting. So I took him into urgent care.
They checked him out and his ears were fine. They did however prescribe a cough suppressant and a nasal spray. He seems to cough a lot in the morning as soon as he wakes up. We were told for him to stay home all weekend and rest.
So rest we did. Well he did, because I did my usual stuff. Laundry, I cooked on Saturday and just things around the house. Anything that was needed from the pharmacy or market, my husband did that.
Adam was a bit bored so I took him walking around the block which he enjoyed very much.
Then Sunday Erik still had a fever. So since we were all suppose to go to church, I left the boys with Hector and I went by myself representing the family.:)
Monday fever still didn't go away. It seemed to be off and on. It was off for a long time, then back again. So no school again.
I called the pediatrician, which of course idiots didn't call me back.
I HATE calling the doctor's office. As much as I insist, they never return my calls! So I will call the insurance company to make a complaint. I like the office because it's nice and clean and they also offer urgent care, but enough is enough.
This morning Tuesday, I thought Erik would be back at school. But the fever was back!
So my husband took him in to the doctor's and came back with results.
He has bronchitis. He will stay home the rest of the week and hopefully back at school and recuperated by Monday.

The past few weeks
It's been a while since I have blogged. Sometimes I feel I don't have much to blog, but then so many things happen, and I just get kinda lazy to type it up! But here are a few things we have done in the past few weeks. I hadn't posted pictures from Diego's b-day celebration.
My husband and I put together a "clown" theme. He cut out a clown made out of wood and I painted it. All the decorations were very colorful, so I was happy with the end result.
my sister Jolene made this sign.
my parents took Diego a teddy bear along with some white balloons which we let go.
My other sister Emma and her family brought a very cute baby duck flower arrangement
I didn't have the time to make him his b-day cake to take on the day of his celebration . Last year and this year we ordered a flower cake WHICH I TOTALLY FORGOT TO TAKE A PICTURE OF!!!DUH! but since it was his b-day month, I still ended up doing it for him that way it would last the entire month.
when we were up at the cemetery, Erik read out a beautiful poem to his little brother as well.
Will need to post the video later.
Then we sang happy b-day and released the balloons up in the air with a song that reminds me of Diego.
The rest of the weeks in bullets.
Valentines Day
My husband gave me flowers and we went to an early dinner because it was a Saturday and we figured all restaurants would be packed. So we decided to go as a family. There was a new Chinese buffet that opened up by our house, so we decided to try it out. I must say we have had better buffets in the past. But at least we tried it. After that we went to 31 Flavors and got some yummy ice cream.
During that week Adam got a little sick. He had a bit of a fever and his chest was really congested. So I decided to take him into urgent care. Here are the boys while waiting for the doctor. in spite of Adam not feeling too well, he still managed to smile at the camera. Have I mentioned he loves the camera??!!
last weekend my family came over for a get together and we had some yummy food. Since it was a last minute plan, I didn't get the chance to make anything so my husband and I decided to order food. It was quite tastey.
The next morning, my sister Jolene came over for breakfast. It was suppose to be her and her husband Gerric, but poor Gerric was sick in bed. We owe you breakfast Gerric!!
This past week Erik made his first reconciliation. We had been practicing the past few weeks. He said he was a bit nervous. The service was actually very nice. I didn't think pictures would be allowed but everyone was taking pictures, so I took out my camera too! Here is Erik coming out of the confession room.
The FIRST thing he told me was "mommy I wasn't nervous!!" He was so proud of himself as was I.
Then we went to different stations as a family where I washed his hands in Holy water and my husband read out a verse to him. It was all just very nice.
Erik asked my sister Jolene to be his 1st communion God mother . She happily accepted.
She is already his Baptism Godmother, but HE chose her again. God willing he will do his 1st communion in May. He still has yet to ask the Godfather. Hmm.. I wonder who that will be? :)
In other news: Adam turned 14 months on the 21st of Feb. and I had forgotten to mention that he is now drinking from a sippee cup. We have weened him off the bottle. He's been off the bottle for about 2 months now! Only ONCE in a while I will give it to him at night in case he is having trouble to go to sleep. but the majority of the time, he drinks from a sippee cup or out of a straw. and since he started taking steps since before his 1st b-day. He is just all over the place now, walking and running..
and Erik for the longest time we have had the hardest time to get him to sleep in his own room THE WHOLE NIGHT. He always comes to our bedroom at different times, but for a whole week, he has been sleeping in his own bed, in his own room the ENTIRE NIGHT. that is big, trust me!!
My friend from New Jersey whom I met online through Diego's website. She came down a few months ago to San Diego, however we didn't get the chance to meet. But we met online because unfortuneately, we share the same pain. Well she is pregnant. Due in Sep 2009. So good luck to her!! My prayers are with her as I understand her fear.
Henry's MRI is also Next week (3/4/09). He is constantly in my prayers. God willing it will be a clean MRI.
My older sister also started her own blog! check it out when you have a moment. and if you are a lurker, please comment! I would like to see how many people read my blog. thanks!
Today my poor little Erik stayed home from school.
He had a fever so didn't get him to school so that he could get some rest.
sorry for the long post, but I thought I didn't have much to write but it looks like I did!

Happy Heavenly Birthday Diego!
Happy 2nd birthday baby.
wow.. 2 years ago I woke up in the middle of the night not feeling you. I went to the hospital thinking I was overreacting. Daddy stayed at home with your big brother because I figured I was going straight to the office from there. I still have his text message on my phone asking me how me and you were doing at the hospital. As soon as I got his text message was when I called him and told him that I was told you "may have left us". He immediatly took your brother to grandma "mom" and came to the hospital. He arrived, then shortly after "mita" showed up too. Then the ultrasound technician showed up to do the ultrasound and deliver the horrible news. That was when we just became "numb". What was suppose to be my last day at work before going on maternity leave, turned out to be a "bereavement leave" .I had NO idea that we would come back home to an empty crib and a destroyed heart. Daddy and I held you in our arms. As painful as it was to let you go, I wish I could go back to see you and hold you one more time. I regret so many things that I didn't get to do with you in the short time we met and said good-bye. I was in shock and not thinking. I didn't want your brother or cousins to see you. The only ones that met you were your grandparents, aunts Emma "mita" and Jolene, your uncle Gerric and daddy and me of course. Some of the other family members didn't see you. I guess I just wanted everyone to remember you in a special way. I didn't want them to see you lifeless and cold. But at least your big brother got to see you for 5 minutes at the funeral home when I dressed you because HE asked to see "the angel". I DON'T know what I was thinking and I regret not taking pictures with you. The only pictures I have of you are the ones from the hospital which we put in your website. I see other websites where parents along with other family members post pictures of them holding their stillborn baby. For me, pictures are suppose to be happy moments. That day was and will forever be the most painful day of my life. Nobody knows how I feel. I don't even know if you even know either. I guess only another mother that has been thru the same knows that ugly pain. Some people think it's something that it's done and over. It's not. It's a BIG hole in my heart. Part of me has been buried with you. I still cry for you, I still yearn for you, I still wonder what you'd look like now and most of all I still wonder why you left us. Why didn't God give us the opportunity to be together as a family. I know things happen for a reason which only God knows. If you wouldn't have left, maybe your brother Adam wouldn't be here. I can't imagine life without him either. But I want my 3 boys here with daddy and me. That completes our family. I just want you to know that I LOVE you so much and continue to miss you EVERY-SINGLE-DAY. I know you are constantly watching over us. Sleep peacefully baby. Until we meet again.
p.s. I hope the balloons that we released somehow reached you. Did you feel the love? I sure did. And I know you were proud and honored to have your big brother Erik read you that beautiful poem.
Go on and have fun at your birthday party honey. Watch out, the terrible two's have just begun. :)
I LOVE YOU.

Vegas update
This past weekend my husband took me to Las Vegas to celebrate my birthday.
We had a lovely time. We left Friday around 4:00pm. I got out of work at noon, but after picking Erik up from school and dropping 1 car off at home, then driving to my sisters house to drop off the kids, time flew.
We were well on our way to Vegas. It was raining, it was Friday, so the time it took us to get out of L.A. was ridiculous. We got to Vegas around 10:00pm.
We stayed at the Stratosphere Hotel. We had stayed there a long time ago when a friend of the family got married in Vegas. I have to say I liked it better this time. Although it's at the end of the strip, it's a nice cozy hotel. We checked in and then we went downstairs to play a bit on the slot machines. Of course lost money.
Next morning, got up and we had breakfast there at the buffet downstairs. We didn't really care for it, but it filled up our tummies.
We then headed to the Prim outlets right across the street from Whiskey Pete's.
I bought shoes with a gift card that my parents gave me for my b-day. I love shoes and Hector loves jackets. We both can't get enough of each. So of course we walked into Wilson's. He really liked a jacket which the entire store had a sale for 70% off. I told him to get it and that would be his valentines gift. After walking around for a while, we bought a few things here and there. We headed back to the hotel.
He gave me the choice of seeing a show or a night club. We went to the hotel lobby to see the choices of shows. I wasn't all that crazy about them, so decided on a night club.
He did his research and found TAO at the Venetian hotel. It's suppose to be one of the best night clubs in Vegas. So we bought tickets online so we wouldn't have to wait in line. Then we headed to Paris hotel for dinner. That was a very good dinner. Especially their crepes.. mmm, mmm, mmm!!
After dinner, went back to the hotel to shower and get ready to boogie our booties.
Got to the nightclub and we had a few drinks and we danced. We were there for a few hours, then we went back to the hotel. I threw on some pants because we were going to go up to the tower to take pictures, so I wanted to be nice and warm.
I had never been up the tower. It was an amazing Vegas view.
Then they were getting ready to close the tower, so we went back downstairs and played the remaining balance I had on a rewards card. Of course lost that too.
Next morning, we got up and checked out from the room itself.
We then headed to the Rio hotel. That was really good too. If it's one thing I love about Vegas, it's the variety of food!
We had brunch, then headed to the gas station to fill up and started on our way back to L.A.
This time Vegas was a bit more empty. It wasn't as crowded as it usually is. But it was perfect. Perfect food, perfect hotel, and most perfect husband.
We picked up the kids whom we both missed so much.
We were happy to see them. They were well taken care of. So that being said, we will be taking them to Nina and Nino's house MORE OFTEN!!! LOL..
THANK YOU EMMA & HENRY FOR WATCHING THE KIDS. NEXT TIME IT'S YOUR TURN AND WE WILL WATCH YOUR KIDS.

Thank you officer jerk for letting me off the hook!
So last night when I got off work, I was driving to my parents house to pick up my kids. I had already gotten off the freeway and was driving on surface streets.
As I came to a 4 corner intersection. I stopped at the stop sign. There was a police car in front of me, however he was more towards the right as if he were going to make a right turn! So, I drove up to the stop sign, looked both ways and kept going straight. I noticed the police car was now behind me. As I approached another stop sign. It was another 4 corner intersection. I stopped. There was another car that arrived at the intersection to the right of me. I ARRIVED FIRST. So the guy that was driving that car, gave me the sign to go ahead and go. So I went!
Well all of a sudden I hear the damn siren and the red lights behind me.
and I said out loud to myself. "you are effing kidding me".
So I pulled over and left my car on, and put my window down.
The stupid officer comes over to my window and says "can you turn off your car mam".
ok.. done.
"Can I see your license, registration, and proof of insurance"?
So as I was getting all 3, he says "the reason I stopped you was because you are being an aggressive driver". WHAT???
so I asked him "what do you mean".. He said, he was at the previous intersection of so and so street. And since he noticed I didn't wait long enough, I passed him up. (hello, it looked like you were going to make a right turn, you A-hole".
then he said I didn't stop long enough at the 2nd intersection (where the guy let me go first). I told him I arrived first! So since the guy let me go, I went!
and he comes out with "unfortunately, that is not what I saw".. OF COURSE NOT. YOU ARE GOING TO SEE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE, YOU ASS.
so he takes back my info and takes it to his car where another cop is checking all my info thru their car computer or whatever the hell they normally do.
As I am sitting in my car, he comes back about 3 minutes later, and I hear him ask the other police officer "she has no citations?".. So he comes back to me and asks me "how long have you been driving"? I said "sheesh, like 15 years." I am sure it's more, but I said about 15. Then he asks "have you ever been given a citation before?" I said "no". Then he says "are you in a hurry, are you coming from somewhere". I said "I am coming from work and going to pick up my kids" he says "ok. I am going to give you a warning this time. You need to stop at each intersection at least 3 seconds and be less aggressive with the other drivers." Or he may have said respectful with other drivers..
I told him, "i think what you saw is that YES i have a habit of stopping, then I drive up to pass up the stop line, because I CAN'T see to the left or right if any cars are coming".. He says " yes, but when you excelerate, you move up to fast and so it looks like you are going to go on. that is why the other driver told you to go". I GOT THERE FIRST AND I DID STOP YOU ASSHOLE. but of course I didn't say that to him. You can't win an asshole with a black and white car and uniform. He was telling me about driving more safely, and who knows what else he was saying. I jut kept saying "ok" "ok".. I felt like telling him to go stop some real crime, don't waste your damn time stopping me for stupid reasons. but anyway, he just told me " to drive safely and have a good evening".
THANK YOU OFFICER JERK.
So that was my highlight for the evening.
I still have a clean driving record. No tickets (Parking tkts don't count)nor accidents.
KNOCK ON WOOD.
As I came to a 4 corner intersection. I stopped at the stop sign. There was a police car in front of me, however he was more towards the right as if he were going to make a right turn! So, I drove up to the stop sign, looked both ways and kept going straight. I noticed the police car was now behind me. As I approached another stop sign. It was another 4 corner intersection. I stopped. There was another car that arrived at the intersection to the right of me. I ARRIVED FIRST. So the guy that was driving that car, gave me the sign to go ahead and go. So I went!
Well all of a sudden I hear the damn siren and the red lights behind me.
and I said out loud to myself. "you are effing kidding me".
So I pulled over and left my car on, and put my window down.
The stupid officer comes over to my window and says "can you turn off your car mam".
ok.. done.
"Can I see your license, registration, and proof of insurance"?
So as I was getting all 3, he says "the reason I stopped you was because you are being an aggressive driver". WHAT???
so I asked him "what do you mean".. He said, he was at the previous intersection of so and so street. And since he noticed I didn't wait long enough, I passed him up. (hello, it looked like you were going to make a right turn, you A-hole".
then he said I didn't stop long enough at the 2nd intersection (where the guy let me go first). I told him I arrived first! So since the guy let me go, I went!
and he comes out with "unfortunately, that is not what I saw".. OF COURSE NOT. YOU ARE GOING TO SEE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE, YOU ASS.
so he takes back my info and takes it to his car where another cop is checking all my info thru their car computer or whatever the hell they normally do.
As I am sitting in my car, he comes back about 3 minutes later, and I hear him ask the other police officer "she has no citations?".. So he comes back to me and asks me "how long have you been driving"? I said "sheesh, like 15 years." I am sure it's more, but I said about 15. Then he asks "have you ever been given a citation before?" I said "no". Then he says "are you in a hurry, are you coming from somewhere". I said "I am coming from work and going to pick up my kids" he says "ok. I am going to give you a warning this time. You need to stop at each intersection at least 3 seconds and be less aggressive with the other drivers." Or he may have said respectful with other drivers..
