Girls Weekend Together

 

Girls having fun on Saturday shopping..

Hinalei, Nesi and Nataliana

This was a wonderful weekend for me and
my kids. My older kids came in from Salt
Lake. 

Well, just my daughters. My son had a
wrestling match today and wasn't able to
come. I miss him alot and told the girls
that they'll need to take back a care
package for him. Which is those big
plastic bins. 

My girls got here on Friday night 2/5th
at 11pm on standby. They told me as
soon as they got in the car that they're'
soo hungry and want to go and eat.
They were waiting for 8 hours at the 
airport in Salt Lake. My parents told
them to come back home and try to
come another day but they insisted on
waiting to make a flight to pdx

Portland. I'm really glad that they 
made it. 

We left the airport and headed straight for  
Jack in The Box and got them chicken sand
wiches with fries from the value menu. Then 
we got home and talked all night until they 
fell asleep. 

Saturday morning we woke up and headed 
out to go coupon shopping and hit up 3 different
stores. We had fun at Walgreens getting some 
free blood monitors and $10 cash back in Regi
ster Rewards.

We enjoyed our time together and went

to church today. The girls had fun at church

meeting up with their friends again. I don't

want them to go back but, I told them to 

come back again this upcoming Friday for

the Youth Valentines dance and this time

with their brother, Ami..

I'm worried about him, because my mom

told me that he's lost so much weight and

fears that he's not eating enough at the

house he's living at. I told her that I'm

making him a care package filled with cans

of chicken noodle soup, bottles of Powerade, 

2 boxes of popcorn, Ritz crackers, Quaker 

Granola bars, lots of cereal, a Derek Jeter 

Cologne Set, chapsticks, packs of apple sauce,

bag of Craisins, and more. I was hoping that we

wouldn't surpass the limit of 50 lbs per items

checked in. Yay for us, it was only 47 pounds. 

We cooked Teriyaki Chicken and Rice

for dinner before taking the girls back to 

the airport to catch the 5:45 flight back to SLC.

So the girls will be doing good and not be

starving at the airport. The ticket agent is

really sweet and let them go. Dropped them off 

and having a hard time saying bye. But we had

a group hug and I watched them disappear around 

the corner to run to their gates. Looking forward

to seeing them again next Friday.

Visiting the Oral Surgeon

Yesterday I called the dental clinic and told them 

that my teeth were hurting and I needed to be seen.

So they told me to come in at 2pm. Great! I've been

missing my appointments and this time I finally made

it in. I overcame the fear and just went.

I checked in and waited for about 20 minutes til' I 

got called to go in. They took full xrays and told me

that they're going to remove 4 that day. I was happy 

because I hadn't been to the dentist in 6 years and  

it's been long overdue. 

They removed 2 of my wisdom teeth a molar and 

some other tooth. They asked me if I took drugs 

and I laughed and said, no. But that my fillings were

just coming out and that I never took care of it beca

use we didn't have insurance before. Sure we had  

the cash to pay for it..but I didn't take care of it. I 

didn't take my pre-natal vitamins when I was pregn

ant on the last 3 and that's when I started noticing 

the weak teeth and all.

So she numbs me up on both sides, we wait for about

5 min. then she goes in on the first one and can't seem

to get it out. Even though I'm numbed up I could still  

feel the pressure and it actually started hurting when 

she was struggling to pull it out. I just thought I was  

going to die in my chair and I thought, oh God just let

this whole thing be over with and I'll never eat another 

dessert again! 

The remaining teeth are removed with no problem. 

After stitching my gums up she told me to stay clear 

of solid foods for a couple of days and I'm thinking

it's all good if I'm going to shed a couple of pounds 

from that!

Later on last night I finally picked up my Vicodin to 

kill the pain and ended up going to sleep without  

taking them. So far, so good. I woke up and just 

didn't want to take them, because I had to many 

things to finish today & didn't want to be sleeping

most of the day. 

Theta Mom Thursday - Catching Up on Shopping

Finally got some me time this morning. After

I dropped off my 6 yo at school. We were run

ning low on cereal and snacks for the kids in 

the kitchen. So I drove up to West Linn's 

Albertsons to stock up on the Quaker Deal 

that had ended on Tuesday. [I got 2 rainchecks

for the Quaker Cereals & Quaker Chewy Bar]

 

My good friend Yolanda picked me up Monday

night and we got there to empty shelves and 

no more Quaker Cereals and Chewy Bars which

is how I got the rainchecks. 

It was great going in and not having to worry 

about chasing after the kids. I got in and got 

my stuff and got out. So how much did I get? 

Let's just say, I think I'm covered on cereal 

for the whole year, I grabbed 25 boxes at $1

each when you buy 5 and then used the $3/5 

Quaker coupons which brought the cereals to

$10 for 25 boxes, same thing with the chewy 

bars, 5 for $5, got 35 boxes- [7] $3/5 coupons

and paid $14.00 OOP [out of pocket] for the 

chewy bars. total of $24.00..not so bad:)

Got back home and put the shopping away 

and relaxed after doing the laundry, by pain

ting my nails. Click on Theta Mom's button on

their Thursday. 

Are You A Survivor?

 

I just posted up my review of The Survivors Club by Ben 

Sherwood on my other blog. I totally related to this book

from my own experience in Hawaii a while back. It's something 

that I had tried to forget about, but now know that God had

me stay a little longer and maybe there is something bigger

in store for me here on earth. 

Summer of 95' I was a 21 yo married mother of two. We

traveled to Hawaii for a 2 week summer vacation with

my ex-husband and older son, Ami and daughter, Tia to 

try working on saving our marriage. 

At the time we were separated and living in 2 states, the kids

and I in Utah and he worked & lived in Texas at American 

Airlines/ American Eagle. He came down and suggested that

we go to Hawaii and try to work it out. So we went. 

Things were good for the moment and the kids were enjoying

the visits to the beach and all. On the second week of our trip

we decided to take our last trip to the beach before we head

back to the mainland. 

We were sitting at a distance from the sand on the grassy area

and enjoying his 1st cousin's plate of bbq that he cooked for 

us. I decided to walk down to the sand and just watch the waves.

At the time they were posting up signs that big waves were 

coming in or something. I was a good distance away from the 

water so I thought I was safe. So I sat down to think about  

my marriage and if I wanted to save it or not. I knew for sure 

that I didn't love him anymore because of the physical beatings

and the mental abuse, I guess I really just wanted to get away

from work for two weeks to see what Hawaii was actually like. 

So I figured what my answer is going to be and I get up to 

head back to where everyone is sitting at on the grass. All 

of a sudden, I see everyone jumping up, screaming and waving

their hands and running towards me. I feel like something is

right behind me and as I look back, I see a huge towering

wave right above me and the next thing I knew, I was in it. 

I was fighting my way back to the shore but it took me back

so fast, I couldn't fight. Okay, it didn't help me that I didn't 

know how to swim and all I was doing was doggy paddles. 

I know..that sucked big time. I could see everyone from our

picnic area was on the shore and I thought, ok God, I'm  

ready to go..so I stopped paddling and just let go. 

Next thing I knew I washed up on the shore and my shirt  

was missing so my ex threw a towel on me quickly. I asked

what happened and everyone just said that I'm lucky to be 

alive. I sure was. I don't know what it was, just that God had

given me a second chance at life and that I had to do my best. 

Now I look back and know that I've come a long way and

have learned from that experience. Are you a Survior as well?

I'd love to hear your stories. Please link up to your Survivor  

Story only not the home page. Look forward to hearing from 

you!
