Just a quick thought.

I have been dealing with morning sickness for the last 5 months officially now. I had never gone this far being sick like this and let me tell you that is not fun at all. My mark was always around 20 weeks. I was done puking and feeling gross all day, today I am at 25 weeks and a few days and I feel like I can't take this anymore. I had been feeling better but for some reason it is all coming back again. I am thankful to have my mom here because she helps me out and I can take naps without leaving my kids on their own, but seriously I am getting SICK of this.
I usually deal with gestational diabetes after my morning sickness but I still have to go and do the test, I have been putting it off because it is something I don't want to deal with right now, so I will be praying that I wont get it this time. I feel like this is the worst pregnancy so far, I know it is all worth it and in the end I will forget all about it, I want to be able to enjoy what is left of it, wake up in the morning and be excited about my little projects for the baby but so far that is not happening. I am hanging in there, just watching the time go by and I think to myself sometimes it is too much. I am glad my other pregnancies were easier or I would have been done after two.... really.

The beach!!!

One of the reasons I was so excited to move to Texas was because of the proximity to the beach. I grew up in a country where going to beach was something we did regularly. The water was always clean and warm and the weather was perfect, we used to spend the weekend there when ever we could. Since I came to the USA that was not the case, I never went to VA beach while we lived there, I went to the beach in New Jersey and I froze my butt off. We have not been to the beach as much as I would love to but at least once year we have done the trip down there. We went to Galveston last month when my mom came back from Utah and we had a blast, it was the perfect day, perfect weather, it wasn't crowded, no jelly fish stinging us and the water was kind of clear. We played in the sand, jumped in the water, buried our feet in the sand and just enjoyed ourselves there.




The kids and my mom were mostly in the water playing and the kids were amazed at how far they could go before it started to get really deep.
I wanted to go back but I am not sure we will have the time to do it.

Halloween decorations.

I haven't been feeling like blogging lately but honestly I don't even know if that many people read it anymore so sometimes I wonder why do I even care... oh yeah because this blog is mainly for me and my posterity :)

We have been doing things, going places and taking pictures but I just can't find the time to sit down and get the pictures in here and write about it, also lots of thinking going on and to get silly thoughts out of my head I better get busy I guess.

The kids and I decorated a Halloween house that we got at Walmart. I usually get into the decorating thing 100% but this year it has not been the case. The kids basically decorated the outside of the house so if you were to come to my house then you would understand what I mean, they did a good job, basically it is the same old decorations so it was easy for them to figure out how to put them up.


I also worked on a little project of mine this year, I had seen this Halloween counters before and think they are really cute but when I went to the store to look for the materials they did not have them, apparently you have to buy a piece of wood and cut to size and all that fun stuff, so we went a different direction and thanks to my crafty daughter Shayna we managed to find a way to make it and I really like it. We bought the blocks at Michaels and also the little boxes the are in, I painted the boxes, covered the blocks with paper and added the numbers (I used a marker and did it by hand instead of using stickers or anything else). I think it all came together very well and it was easy to make.






These are my dollar store finds, two plates a little jar that go together, aren't they cute?
