Mothers day Weekend

Good Morning and Happy belated Mothers Day to all the mommies.
This weekend was very action packed! Friday I worked a 12 hour day, so Hec took that opportunity to call up Scott, Pick Kendra up early, go to the store and he let Kendra pick out Flowers and a card for me. She did a great job, She got yellow daisies with sparkles on them along with purple orchids (my fav) and then picked out one of those musical cards for me. Hector said she was so serious about it and wanted to get me just the right one so she opened every single musical card until she found the perfect one. Lol sweet girl. And Hec got me a wonderful card and a few other things. They gave me my mothers day gift on Friday because that was really going to be our only time. But it was so special, and the best gift of all, the house was clean – the best gift of all is having to work from 5:30am to 5:30pm and being able to come home to gifts and a clean house! Lol.
That night me and Hec really sat down and talked about everything that’s been going on, we talked about EVERYTHING! Which was really nice because for some reason these past few weeks we have been so caught up in our own little stress worlds that we forgot that we have each other to help us and need to help the other. We really had the best talk and it was so nice and I feel like we are stronger than ever because we understand each other more. Sometimes it take a rocky moment in time to really show how much you love someone and how strong your love really is.
Then Saturday me and Kendra headed to my moms and Hec went to his brothers grappling match in Milpitas. My mom was having mothers day at her house on Saturday and we vegged out, watched movies and just enjoyed a Saturday. My moms girlfriends sister brought over her granddaughter Alexis who is only a few weeks younger than Kendra. The girls got along so so great and just had a blast with each other. I feel bad for Alexis though, her mom is kind of a dead beat mom. She only had Alexis to try to keep her boyfriend at the time and when that didn’t work she wanted an abortion but it was way too late in her pregnancy and snc then she really wants nothing to do with her daughter. She leaves Alexis with who ever will watch her. Her friends are more of a parent to Alexis than she is. All Christina (the mom) wants to do is go out and party and pays more attention to her phone than her kid. So then its up to Alexis’s grandparents to care for her but really, there is nothing like the love from mama. They are always talking about what a bad kid Alexis is and how she never listens and just what a terror she is, but I think she is a great kid. I think they give her too much negative attention. My mom was shocked one day when she went shopping with Christina, Alexis and Christina’s mom, because while they are in a busy store in the mall Alexis Runs off towards the elevator and both Christina and Christina’s mother just watched her run off and then continued to shop and my mom asks “uhm did you want ME to go get her” and they simply said, no, she will eventually come back. what the hell? it would be so easy for someone to swoop up Alexis and disappear. Its just sad, they don’t let her play on the floor because she might get the carpet dirty, she cant play with crayons because she might mark up the table, she has never painted or seen play dough as I learned Saturday when I was playing with them and Alexis’ grandma told me she doesn't know what they are. Its amazing and sad that this kid is not only motherless, giving only negative or no attention but she cant even be a kid and play on the floor, get a little messy with paint, that’s the fun of a kid and they learn from doing things like that. Me and Hec decided we will have Alexis over once or twice a week from now on and hopefully make a positive impact on her and omg the worst! She drinks soda! What 2 year old drinks soda?! What parent/ grandparent will just hand their kid a soda with a straw in and let her drink away. No wonder she acts out at times the amount of caffeine and sugar in that will of course cause an inevitable meltdown! Not to mention how terrible it is for her bones and teeth and growth all together! And they will cater to her, she has never eaten vegetables because “she doesn't like it” she wont eat meat or much of anything else all they give her breakfast lunch and dinner is yogurt, candy candy candy, and oatmeal. I do not care if Kendra dose not like something, I will make it and put it on her plate and at least give her the option of eating it. Luckily Kendra has always loved veggies but again that’s because there is a veggi on her plate each night. Do they know what they are doing to that girls growth? Anyways I rambled on long enough, I just wish people would take better care of their children and if they cant then they should have used a condom. Because it is our job as mothers and father to make sure our children grow up happy and healthy.
Then Sunday we got an early morning call from my dad that my papa is in the ICU because he wasn’t able to breath that morning. Turns out there was a lot of fluid in his lungs. They stabilized him and he is only on 50% oxygen rather then the 100% he needed at the time of admittance. I'm VERY VERY close to my nana and papa, they raised me basically. I don’t know what I would do if my papa doesn't pull through this. I know he’s old and his health is just falling. I know he wont be here much longer but he just cant go yet. I want him at my wedding, I want him and Kendra to have more time together. I know it is coming, soon, and as selfish as this is going to sound, I'm just not ready for him to leave yet. My nana is not ready for him to leave yet. No one is ready for that.*sigh* I hope he gets through this and I can have my sarcastic, generous loves with all his heart, republican, papa for a while longer.
But after the hospital we went to my Aunt Lonis and had mothers day. it was very nice. a little somber but nice.
Okay I must get back to working now. Toodles!
