The Gathering

I had people gather at my house for Super Bowl Sunday. It wasn't a party. It was a GATHERING for a VIEWING. I made sure that everyone knew that. It was a good time and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

My daughter was sick with a fever Saturday afternoon into Sunday. It didn't dawn on my that she may be teething. I just figured she would be like her brother and get her first tooth after her first year. My friend, Jesika is the one who suggested it. I put my finger in her mouth and I felt her bottom gums swollen. I think we should be seeing her first pearly white anytime now. It makes me happy but at the same time, it makes me feel as if time is just flying by. When I look at Bobby, I see the subtle changes that he's going through, physically, mentally, and emotionally. He's growing up quickly. Robert and I make sure to remember that he is still a child and not an adult in a small body. I am amazed by him and how he is. He surprises me with his vocabulary and his understanding of events. He's only 8, but I feel that he's a lot more mature than that.

For those of you who know me, know that I have 3 BFF's. Jesika, Vida, and Janessa. I love them with all of my heart and wouldn't trade them for the world. When people say that blood is thicker than water, it's because they haven't been as lucky as me to have girls like them in their lives. I consider these girls my family and as long as they let me be in their lives, I will.


I know today's posting is a little off. I feel a little distracted and I'm not sure why. Maybe it was all the yelling we did. Maybe it's because I am super tired. Or maybe it's because I know that tomorrow, it's back to the grind I go. I really enjoyed my weekend with my friend's and family.

Before I go, I would like to say Happy Birthday to one of my favorite aunts in law, Candelaria Malaria! Happy 28th Birthday! We love you. ;)
