I may be looking forward to a new job. I sent my resume off to be reviewed upon their request and I am hoping that I will be getting a phone call soon. I am really excited because it is a day job, but then again I am sad to leave where I have been for almost 4 and a half years. It's like a 2nd home here and I really will miss the people. But life is full of changes and if I am offered this position I will be making a step up! I will be off on weekends and I will be working during the day. Only now, Daddy Edgar works during the evening so I will not get as much time with him. But in a way it will be good, I can be with the kids at night and also we will not have a baby-sitting bill!! Woo-hoo!! If anyone ever wants to go into business that would be the best thing because that is something that will always be in need- childcare!
Anyway, what is everyone doing for Thanksgiving? I think that me, daddy edgar, elisa and baby edgar will be going to Golden Corral with my granny and my granddad. I know there is going to be a loooong line there. My granny said that she was too tired to cook this year and I was going to, but for some reason my oven will not work. Daddy Edgar and his cousin are content cooking on top of the stove, they don't even miss the ability to bake something. I would like from time to time to bake a cake or some cookies or a dinner or maybe Thanksgiving Dinner! The landlord is kind of slow. I mean if we told him today about the oven he would probably come around Saturday or Sunday to see about it.
Elisa turned 4 on Saturday and we had a birthday party for her at pizza hut. It was really nice. About 9 adult and 13 kids cam, that is including Elisa. She had fun and when we were singing happy birthday she looked so serious.. like she had been waiting for this day forever. I wanted to invite alot more people, but my budget would not let me. If I had, there may have been 30 people there. Next month Baby Edgar will be 1 and I have to figure out where to have his party. Since Daddy is Mexican I want to mix the cultures.. you know tres leche cake and an American cake. I would like to have carnitas. If you have not tried carnitas they are good. The only way I have eaten them is fresh from a pig that has just been cooked. They are good and I am funny about what I eat. I would like to do that and then have hot dogs and hamburgers for those who do not eat that. I would like to do this so baby will learn that he has 2 cultures.
Almost Christmas time... I hope that baby will be walking by then. Elisa is really excited. This is really the 1st year she knows who Santa Claus is. When she sees him she says look edgar there's Santa Claus. Elisa got a Christmas dress and I would like to take her to see Santa at the mall in it. I am going to get Edgar an outfit to match. Hopefully I can get some pics uploaded soon.
Happy Thanksgiving if I do not post before!

We always look for ways to mix cultures too! and have fun figuring out how that works for us! The kiddos are so used to it, they don't notice it as much as others do!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! Do you ever post pictures of your family?
Yeah for the job, hope you get it. Way to go with the birthday party sounds like a good one. Its funny because most Mexicans dont use their ovens at all or dont have one. I use mine a lot also and understand how much you miss it. I hope you get it going soon.
ReplyDeletefamilia garcia- I do not have a computer at home, so i post from work. I hope I will have a computer at home soon.
ReplyDeleteAmanda- I hope i get it also, so far no phone call though. Yeah I know it seems like everything is always fried, grilled, or boiled.
Crystal, I hope you get the job, I'm sending positive thoughts your way!
ReplyDeleteMake a note to yourself to buy an oven thermometer in the states before (if) you move here. Most ovens here are gas, and I bought an oven without realizing that the temperature was in 1-4 steps, with a range of celsius degrees given in the oven manual. I was confused and everything was getting burnt or undercooked. Last time I was home I bought a thermometer that hangs on the rack and the problem was solved! Now I know how hot each 1-4 step is.
