Filipe Wilson & Eric (2010)

Long time since my last post

2010-04-05T12:48:00.005+01:00

Yup....Definitely there's been quite some time since my last post.

As I told ya before I got a job last year and as you can imagine time is something that I'm still learning how to handle.Obviously some of the things I used to do before on a daily basis (such as blogging!) had to be left behind!Not very fond of that idea thou!LOL!But a lady gotta do what a lady gotta do right?!

Anyway, it's been almost an year since I started working and I still love to do what do (thou I got bigger plans for me!). The kids are doing great in all aspects and that makes me very happy.

Filipe is 13 years old now...Wilson is about to turn 11 next month...And Eric is 4 1/2 ....

It's a joy to see them grow strong and healthy but I miss the days they were little!...

Oh well...

Hope everything is running smoothly for ya as it is for me.

And like I said to a dear friend of mine: «If life gives ya lemons, make a lemonade!...And add some vodka!!!»

Merry Xmas Everyone!!!!

August/2009
Last weekend I took the kids to my mom's house and they had a great time over there.
The boy screaming at the top of his lungs is my brother Andre.Yep!That's right!I've a teen "baby" brother!
My mother was screaming at Eric (but not in a bad sense!LOL)Cause he was wetting us and the cameras with the hose!!!LOL!

Running like a horse!...

2009-08-02T22:20:00.001+01:00

Lately I've been running like a horse!...Running to get to my work...Running back to get to my house...Running to pick up the kids...Running to get the dinner started...Running ...Running...Running!!!!....
And during the past two weeks, running to get some nice clothes for my mother's wedding that will happen next Saturday!....Arghhhhhh!....Yeah!...You heard me right!...My mother is getting married next Saturday (with my step father) thou they're together for 17 years now...So...The girl who's carrying the wedding rings will be wearing a pink dress and Wilson will have to match her!... The thing is, I've been so busy that I only started to worry about it short while ago and now I can't find pink shirts at all!!!!
Therefor I'm stressed!...Not to mention that I look a whale in my dress!....
*Big sigh*......
Hey Eric!Can mommy lay there with you!?!?!?.....

If you like reading so much and advising us about what books we should read take a piece of advise from me this time and read Gonçalo Amaral's book.Yeah, the inspector that you didn't want to go to your show!...
I honestly hope that all the investigations running (aside from the police one cause that is closed already by the "lack of evidences"!...) proof once and for all what kinda people are this "lovely couple"!....

BE AWARE!!!AND PASS THE MESSAGE!

2009-03-31T19:07:00.001+01:00

My dear friends

Today I got this email from my beloved niece warning about pedophile signs and symbols...Of course I had to publish it over my blog, cause this is something that we all should be aware of!

So here's the deal:

Last January the FBI released a report about pedophiles.
In this report a series of symbols are shown.Symbols and signs used by the pedophiles so they can be able to recognize them.
The symbols are always composed by the union of two similar shapes (one inside the other).
The bigger shape represents the adult and the smaller shape represents the child.
The size difference between them demonstrates the preference for older or younger children.
Boys are represented by the triangular shapes and the girls by the hearts.

This symbols can be found on websites,coins,jewelry among other objects...

The triangular shapes represent men that like boys (the cruel detail is that the thinner triangle stands for those who like boys of a very tender age);the heart represent men who like girls and the butterfly represents those who like both genders.

Please be AWARE and pass the message through!

When I was 30 weeks pregnant of Eric (my 3 years old) I had one of these.
I've got to tell you, that was one of the moments that I will surely never forget.I never had one before in neither of my two other pregnancies.The only thing I can say is :If you have the chance to do it, go for it!It's something you will treasure forever.

How much money you spend on a baby

2009-01-14T19:49:00.001Z

Buying all the items above in the US costs $454,23 but over here in Portugal it would cost me $966,21!!!
And I can assure you that you will not find those in such gorgeous patterns!
How about your country?How much $ you'd have to spend?And how about child benefits?Do you girls get any?We get $100 per month for having 3 children....

If you ever asked yourself what is the true meaning of love and what is love all about,take a look at my angel's little face...Only a heartless person would harm such an angel...Or any other angel at all...
You have to be a mother...You have to go through several sleepless nights...You have to feel the ground slipping away under you when they are sick...To know...To understand...And truly experience...The true meaning of LOVE...

Escape at Bedtime (Children's Poems)

2008-12-07T20:26:00.001Z

Escape at Bedtime

The lights from the parlour and kitchen shone out
Through the blinds and the windows and bars;
And high overhead and all moving about,
There were thousands of millions of stars.
There ne’er were such thousands of leaves on a tree,
Nor of people in church or the Park,
As the crowds of the stars that looked down upon me,
And that glittered and winked in the dark.

The Dog, and the Plough, and the Hunter, and all,
And the star of the sailor, and Mars,
These shone in the sky, and the pail by the wall
Would be half full of water and stars.
They saw me at last, and they chased me with cries,
And they soon had me packed into bed;
But the glory kept shining and bright in my eyes,
And the stars going round in my head.

The Day Eric Was Born!...

2008-11-03T21:57:00.002Z

As I've told you before Eric is turning 3 this November 20th.So this month means a lot to me.
Of course that March and May mean a lot too (those are the months of my older boys b'days), but I have to admit that November of 2005 was so perfect that when I think of it my heart fills of joy and I feel like getting preg right away! LOL!
I don't know if the fact that I was 28 nearly 29 when I had Eric made a difference, but I believe it did. Being a mom at late 20's early 30's is quite different of being a mom at the early 20's.We have more patience to deal with the stress (ok and the fact that Eric was my 3rd one meant a lot too!) of taking care of a newborn.
So...
November 20th of 2005:

It was a rainy cold Sunday...I got up around 9am feeling kinda weird...
No pains...Just feeling weird...I had the feeling that the baby wasn't moving as much as he used to.
Every now and then, a huge contraction, but the pain was something I could tolerate smoothly...
I did all my chores around the house...Walked the dog out...And after lunch time I called my mom to tell her I was feeling weird and if the baby kept that still I would have to go to the Hospital.
During all afternoon I kept up cleaning (yeah the nesting thing hit me real hard!!!LOL), ironing, did the laundry, went to the grocery store, took a shower,and around 5pm I had my first blood show.
6pm I called my MIL and told her that I had to go to the Hospital.I asked her to pick me up around 7h30pm cause I wanted to give kids the supper.And so I did.
Fortunately hubby was home that day and he was staying with the kids.
A bit after 7h30 my MIL came to pick me up.Boy!She was in a nerve rack!LOL!She was so stressed out that I couldn't stop laughing.
We got to the Hospital at 7h55pm.I made check in and headed to the delivery room.It took me another 10 minutes before the doctor attended me and when he did the touch exam he freaked out!I had the complete dilatation and the baby was about to be born.In 5 seconds I had a crew of at least 5 nurses undressing me and getting me prepared to deliver the baby.
As soon as they broke my waters surgically,Eric made his way through.I pushed twice and he was out!The nurses were so mad at me (cause here in Portugal they love to do episiotomy!)once I pushed before they had the chance to do anything!
8h20pm--Eric was born!An healthy strong boy screaming at the top of his lungs!
He had 8.04lbs(3.650kgs) and measured 19.68 inches(50cms).
Next day I was walking fine and had no complications what so ever!
Best labor/delivery ever!

Get On Of These!...

2008-10-28T17:37:00.001Z

A couple of weeks ago my BBF Tisha was having some problems with her
new born (baby Emily, a cutie pie!) cause the baby got some bug and had
stuffy nose what caused her hard time to b reath.
Then it came to my
mind that my friend Tina who's living in Pasco,WA had the same problem
with her 5 year old princess, last Winter.
Well, unfortunately I'm too acquainted with those problems.
Both
of my older boys got submitted in the Hospital for 2 weeks when they
were babies, with respiratory infections (a.k.a. bronchiolitis).
Always by the same time of the year (December/January) and both of them around the same age (8/9 months old).
I slept on the Hospital floor (in both cases) for 14 nights in a row, beside their beds.
So when I had Eric , I was praying that I wouldn't have to go through all that again.
Thankfully, God has blessed me with a extremely healthy child (ok!Maybe the fact that I'm still nursing him has been a great help in the process!).
Still, when Eric was born I told my hubby that we HAD to buy a new nebuliser once the old one we bought when Filipe was a baby got broken.
I can assure you that there is nothing better then this.
Whenever my kids got stuffy noses or have lots of mucous going on I use it.
We don't have to use it with medicines the whole time.
If the kids are just having an hard time breathing (with no respiratory issues involved) I use the nebuliser by putting physiological solution in it.
What it's also quite handy is sea water nasal spray.

If you have any questions about it, just feel free to ask.
I'm pretty sure that my kids medical background can be quite handy too! LOL!

Bed Time Story!....

2008-10-24T23:25:00.001+01:00

In the year of 2001 I wrote this short poem for my kids who were 4 and 2 years old then...

«BED TIME STORY»

"Once upon a time
There was a little star
Wondering in the sky
A lonely little star...

She was so sad and blue
She wasn't able to bright
And there she was alone
Wondering in the night...

And so she started to cry
Her tears fell into the sea
I felt the little star
Was calling out for me...

So I reached my hand so high
That I grabbed the little star
I cleaned up her eyes
And placed her next to my heart...

She finally found her place
Her tears were vanished forever
And when you see a smile on my face
It's my little star brighter than ever!..."

How time fly by!...

I can't believe that is almost November...
I can not believe that my little prince is going to be 3 years old next month...
Time seems to fly by!...

Head Trauma

2008-10-21T23:04:00.001+01:00

One week ago, my older boy Filipe bumped his head against the concrete floor at the gyms class.By the end of the day my hubby and my MIL decided that it would be better to take him to the ER once he was feeling dizzy and nauseous.
I thought it wouldn't be necessary cause as some of you already know, I used to be a firefighter and worked in the ambulances 1st aids too.But you know Dads!He was too worried to listen to what I said so they took him any way!LOL!
Well, head trauma is something that I'm pretty sure that all you moms are acquainted to!
So I decided to post about what you should do when your kids (or even some adult!)bump their heads:

Keep a tight surveillance on the child in the next 24 hours and pay attention to the alert signs:
1-altered consciousness--watch if the child looses consciousness or if is conscious but feels confused or drowsy;
2-Watch for any clear fluid from the ears or nose;
3-Black eyes and bruised skin behind the ears;
4-Watch if there is any vision changes;
5-And pay serious attention if the kid is feeling nausea and if he vomits persistently;
If in the following 24 hours you get any of this signs TAKE THE CHILD TO THE DOCTOR ASAP!

If the child looks normal after the injure,you must:
1-apply ice in the traumatized area;
2-calm the pain with some paracetamol ;
3-watch for any behavior changes in the child (abnormal restless or sleepiness);
4-watch for abnormal headaches ;
5-and if it's the child nap time watch for his sleep, if the sleeping looks unusual awake the child and watch his state of consciousness;
