How Our World Got Turned Upside Down!

So on Fathers Day of this year when the day was ending, I got a call around 11:30 pm it was my sister Chris i couldn't understand what she was saying! All I know is that she was screaming and crying! when I told her to calm down because I couldn't understand her; She did and she told me that my Dad had fallen down and he wasn't getting up and he wasn't responding. So I just remember feeling like if someone punched me in my stomach and took my breath out! It was a surreal moment i was in shock and I guess a BIG Part of me was in denial. So when we got to my moms house the ambulance was already their and they were taking him to The Washington Regional. I stayed behind with my mom and my sister Loy, My sister Chely,Rosy, Rica and my Brother Alvaro had gone to the hospital with my dad. The minutes seemed like hours and the phone wouldn't ring to give us an update, then when it finally did it was my sisters to say that my mom needed to be their because the Dr's. didn't really give my Dad any chances of surviving, so finally when she left we had learned that because of a High Blood pressure a vein popped in his brain causing him a Brain Hemrage and he had a mini Stroke. The Dr.'s had said that he needed a urgent surgery but they where giving us a 50/50 chance of him surviving the operation but they also said if he didn't get the surgery done he would only have 2 days to live! So after he survived the Surgery DR.'S said it was going to be a Long and Hard process and he didn't know how my dad was going to be after everything was done. That same day he had the surgery he squeezed my moms hand, and when he did that our whole prospect of the situation changed and we had HOPE, Hope that he was going to pull through this horrible nightmare that we where in and Hope that he wasn't going to die and leave us so soon! so after a few days of no change he opened his eyes and started to respond more, it was a roller coaster that nobody was prepared to ride on! Their where the good days were he was good and responsive and then their where the bad days were he was asleep all day without being so responsive like the day before! I think it was those bad days when he wasn't responsive when every ones Hope would Fade a little. He remained in the ICU for 3 weeks but Thankfully he pulled through those dangerous weeks and finally after 3 weeks the Dr said he was ready to start his rehab process. SO Now he is in Regency Hospital where their are preparing him for his long or short term rehab therapy. He's been here since Monday July 12 hes been progressing good! They put in a tube where he is now talking he sound's weird because its not for sure his voice a machine is helping him talk, also today they did some therapy with him and they said he did good. He might be here for 2 or 3 weeks and if its needed they might transfer him to another Rehab facility in Springdale where he will have Therapy mostly all day. So Thankfully we had Hope we ran with it and Now hes here alive and working toward his recovery.

Getting Ready....

So today I went on my first run. It went great actually I got tired fast but I think that's normal because I've never actually ran before! So I was waiting on my sister she was supposed to meet me their but she didn't understand what I had told her, she thought that I was going to pick her up when I specifically told her I will meet you their and then I'll take you home myself..... SO their I was waiting and waiting, so I decided to call her and she was still waiting for me to pick her up! LOL... So she just told me she would do it some other day! and in my head I'm thinking how am going to run by myself I'm going to look like a dork! So I decided to stay and run I was already their my boys were playing in the playground and my hubby was their to watch them! So a correr se a dicho...At first I was like OK so I just started to run I got tired really quickly so I decided to Power Walk after I got my breath back I started running again. It felt good like I was sorta Distressing but I was done quickly because I had to think other thoughts like Catching my breath and not tripping and falling! HA HA HA! Overall it was a good run the first of many to come! I have to look good for my nieces First Communion, because my weight is starting to catch up with me I have to fit into my dress!!! Well I do fit into it but I look like A Wrapped Tamale!!! HA HA!!! OK so that's all for today I guess I will keep up to date with how my running is coming along and if I do actually get to fit into my dress nicely and without difficulty!

Our Trip To Oklahoma

So this past weekend we took a trip to Oklahoma, we took our boys to the Zoo and the Aquarium. We went with my sisters and their families too it was my sister Araceli's idea she wanted to do something with her kids before they went back to school from Spring Break. By the way she has 3 boys so I knew my boys would have somebody to play with and most important of all experience their trip with, also My sister Rosi with her husband and girls, my sister Cris with her little girl Lupita, and my Brother with his Girl and their baby girl Soledad. I would say the boys had a blast looking at all the different animals that they usually see on the T.V. or in book's and what helped a lot was that it was drama free! We helped each other out if we needed too and most of all we all had a great time. When we left the Zoo we went out to eat when we were done eating we were on our way back to the hotel when we spotted some shoping store's, so we were like "Will go back to the rooms drop everyone off and we will go shopping!" So that's what we did, it was Me, Rosi, Chely, Lupita and Cris, I took my younger one Javier and Cris took Lupita; So anyways we went shopping we also went to explore around and we ended up finding this store which by the way we taught it was like a clothing store and ended up being a grocery store! HAHAHA I don't know how that happened but that was funny. So soon after we left back to the hotel room but not before stopping at a Mexican bakery that was on the way to the hotel, we got what we needed and headed back, I really had fun just hanging out with my sisters that little while. So the next day we went to the Aquarium we had a lot of fun their too looking at all the different fish's and the boys enjoyed it also. But we were also ready to head home so after we left the Aquarium we went out to eat and soon after that we headed home. So I would say that this trip was a great one, the boys had a lot of fun and so did we, so I would call it a Success!

Sports or No Sports?

So today I took my son to his second day of football practice.... Well let me just say it didn't go as planned! Well for beginners he didn't want to join the other kids for practice. He actually laid on the floor as my husband was trying to take him to the line, so it looked like he was dragging him which he wasn't but I could just imagine what other people were thinking "Look at him forcing his kid to play" But to all those people I say "YOUR WRONG!" Because up until it was actually time to go to practice he was excited he was showing me how he was going to tackle the other boys, and how fast he was going to run. But I guess he got traumatized after his first practice were they were doing this exercise were he had to get through all the players and they had to stop him! OK people just imagine my baby boy now picture him; He is only skin and bone literally the most he weights is 45 Pd's. maybe 50 and I think he might be the shortest one on the team I think? Well anyways so he was getting ready to run probably he should have done that from the begging because he started out like semi walking, so anyways he starts getting his momentum to run when suddenly =BOOM= he gets tackled down by most of his team ates like literally gets tackled down!! After the coach took everyone off him what does he do? Instead of being a good troop and sucking it up and getting back in line he goes to me and starts crying his eyes out, he said that he had hurt his pinkie finger! So he suddenly decides that's going to be the end of the begging of his football career..LOL.. No really he literally didn't want to go back at all!! So I guess that was a harsh reality for him I think he didn't expect that football was going to be played that way! Because right before he went off to try to practice today he said " Their not going to tackle me again right?" and my sister who took him said "NO" so as soon as she turned around and left him he came right back behind her and that was that! So during the whole practice he was just sitting their watching the other boys practice with no interest of joining them...SO we've decided not to pressure him no more, it is what it is! So now he saying he wants to play Soccer, he suddenly likes Soccer! So I guess were going to try Soccer! But you now I'm not mad at him at all, I'm actually proud of him just for trying out, so maybe next year will be his year if he wants to try again!

Stressful Day!

Well today might have been the worst Monday of this Month! For beginners I got up to my two little boys eating Mexican bread I was actually amazed that my oldest Johnny actually ate it all I remember his words "Mommy I ate it all, I beet Javi" BUT to my surprise when I was throwing something away what do I find The Bread! He had just taken the top off and left the rest of the bread!lol...and to make matters worse they've been fighting for everything and anything all day up until now when I made them go to bed! I mean Literally Fighting for Anything every toy one got the other wanted, any movie one watched the other wanted to pick another,were they sat to eat their lunch they wanted to sit in the same chair!!!! UGH!!! I just wanted to run away and scream...But I always manage to remember how to BREATH~ and literally count to 100 I use to count to 10 but that was to short of a count to calm down! I guess sometimes being a stay at home mom is harder than I imagine, I actually have been thinking of getting a part time job, but I don't know if I would be able to handle that. Maybe getting away from the house for a few hours is what I need to just calm down and be stress free or maybe I should just get a hobby that involves something other than being tied down to these four walls, well I mean that's how I sometime's look at it, Like I have no other choice but to stay in here, even though my hubby tells me "go to your mom's" but its like what for if they do a mess over their, its like I'm taking my stress to my moms and I don't want her to think that I just want my kids to go crazy over their and not here! am I making any sense or am I actually going crazy, well it wouldn't be the first time I thought that!

No Special Title Just Another Sunday!

Well today is another boring Sunday! Usually we go visit my mom and my In laws BUT since we stayed the night at my moms due to the Snow we came home! And even though the road is clean I really don't want to go visit my in laws! I have nothing against them, its just I don't feel like going today. I guess since it's a Snowy day it seems better just to stay home and relax! My big boy Johnny is playing his Game Cube and my little one is taking his nap, my hubby is looking for something good on t.v. and I'm just babbling away on my Blog!; Well even though i like going to my moms theirs no place like HOME even though I consider my moms house my 2Nd house, theirs nothing like coming home to your 1st house, am I making any sense? You know coming home to the peace and quite and being able to just put your feet up in your couch and taking a little nap without someone saying to you " MAGGIE Javi is doing something over here!" you know here I know that my kids keep busy with their toys, movies or other things without having to destroy any body Else's!. But yea I guess that's all for this SUNDAY I guess till next time when I have something else to babble about!

My First Post

Well my sister's got me to start Blogging. I have always seen my older sister Araceli doing it but I didn't think much of it. Then my other sister Eloisa told me she was doing it too, so she was telling me that I should try it. So i guess I got convinced into it, I feel kinda weird about the whole thing. I mean who wants to read what I write about My Life! Well I guess this is it for now until I have something Else to Blog about, That kinda of sounds cool though! These are my two Sister's who got me to started on Blogging. The top one is Eloisa and the bottom one is Araceli
