Remembering 9/11

I just wanted to do a quick post to remind everyone to remember everyone who was involved in the tradgedy 9/11. I was thinking about everyone this morning and I remembered where I was the morning that it happened. I was just waking up and a friend of mine had stayed the night and I went to the living room and she was crying about what had happened. She is a good friend of mine named Jessica, who I have not introduced in my blog yet. But anyway she is sentimental like I am. I was shocked because we did not know what was going to happen next. I went to the gas station because someone said that gas was going to be out of sight within a few hours and the gas stations were packed! It was a sad day and still is thinking of all the innocent people whose lives were basically stolen from them. All the babies, kids, mothers, fathers, mothers-to-be, fathers-to-be, grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles, cousins that were lost. I guess I am one to put myself in situations and I think that what if it was my husband or fiance or my kids who were lost and what the lonlieness must feel like. I better end now or I will be crying at work.
Leave me some comments you guys, let me know how you felt or what you were doing this day.

My favorite Mexican Restraunt

We go to a restraunt called LA BAMBA almost every week and the food is really good. Last night I ordered my favorite which is a shrimp and crab meat quesadilla, it is soooo good. I just thought that I would share that with everybody. Last night me, daddy edgar, his friend enrique and enriques girlfriend Heather (she is my friend also- we work together) went out for her birthday.
Heather and I drank 2 pitchers of Margaritas and the guys drank 2 medium blue margaritas. We had fun. Daddy edgar told the waiter that it was heather's birthday so they put the sombrero on her head and sang happy birthday (la mañanita) Instead of giving her cake they gave her a tequila shot. That was weird I have never seen them do that. I would have preferred the cake, I am not a drinker. Last night, only because it was a special occasion. My grandmother, aunt, or god mother try to keep the kids for us one night a week so we can go some where. I think this Saturday coming up we are going to go see The Final Destination at the movie theater. I am looking forward to that, but it is expensive. Well for me anyway. I think 9 dollars is alot to get in and 3 dollars for a coke and 3 dollars for a drink is alot also.
I want to try and go ahead and get started on my FM3- is it possible to start from over here or do I need to be over there?
AMANDA (borders aside) how much was it for you to get yours, for you and your daughter? What about all this bank stuff I am reading about? If I go over to Mexico I am not going to have any money going in my account over here. I hope I do not get thrown out of Mexico.
I saw something about they do not want you to be a drain on the Mexican government, but they don't have food stamps and stuff- do they???
Well, anyway if you have been reading you know that daddy lives on a rancho, well he said that we would go to his mom's for a while and from there we will go to Cancun or Monterrey or some where so 1) we can work and 2) I will be able to make it because we will live in the city.
I am not by any means a high maintenance lady, but I can not imagine myself breaking a chickens neck and living without hot (atleast warm) water and an A/C. I love him so much that I only have those 3 requests; warm water, no live animals to kill to cook, and an A/C, or atleast some kind of cooling device. AND.... if I can not have any of those then I will just have to make do. I think the 3 people that read my blog and i read theirs(borders aside, limon blog, and gringa n mexico) live in the city (or city area- right guys?) and I am hoping that daddy edgar moves me to the city. If I go to Cancun, I hope I will have some visitors! Good night everyone!

Broom stands alone..... for real no joke!

I live in Montgomery, Alabama and there is a city outside of Montgomery called Prattville. It is a nice city, my grandmother lives there. It used to be a small town and now they have so much that if you did not want to you would not have to leave for anything. I want to move there, but you know I am going to Mexico with daddy Edgar, but if we are able to get his papers I would like to buy a house there, good schools also. Anyway, this is not what this post is about.
My grandmother tells me on Wednesday that there is a broom in downtown Prattville that stands alone! This lady is opening a store and they were cleaning or something and moved a piece of furniture and the broom stayed standing up without any support! How weird- right? Well now this smaller town has made cnn news- cool huh? Some paranormal researchers came in and stayed for a while doing observations. You guys should really check it ou. Google it. I put in "broom stands alone" and it pulled it up. I wonder if it will make it to Univision or Telemundo?? That would be cool. Well, nothing else really excited has happened except for my daughter is starting dance school on Wednesday! She is going to be taking tap, tumbling, and ballet. Have a good weekend and check out the broom!

Progress Made

Well, I finally my kids passports applied for and sent off. I have been looking on the travel. state. gov page everyday to see if they are being tracked yet. My daughter looked so pretty in her picture. She looked like a big girl (she is only 3) She had a hard time not smiling. The lady who took the pictures said that she could not smile. Well, as for baby edgar, he is 8 months old, that was fun. He was so cute. He did not want to stop smiling he thought that we were playing. She had to take like 10 pictures of him because he would turn his head or something like that. He was so cute. Finally we had to lay him on a white blanket and they also tried a white poster board. (Hey if any of you have kids that can not stand up yet, tell them to lay them down on something completely white, it saves alot of time) I am so happy about finally getting the passport done for them. I am trying to get to Mexico to see his mom. I talk to her alot and she wants to see the baby so bad. He is her 1st grandson (1st grandchild) and she is dying to see him. Okay another advice post..... what does anyone think about taking a bus?? Dangerous? I know it will be hard with 2 kids, but what about the danger factor? When I go with Daddy Edgar in January or February we are taking his truck, that is different though. I wish I had a car to take. I know my daughter will get tired of being stuck in a seat in a bus and it is a long way.
Like if I leave on Friday afternoon I will get there Sunday morning. I can not imagine that. Anybody know any cheap airlines??? How about that deal priceline offers, name your price. I put in 125.00 as my name your price and it actually calculated the tickets as that and gave me the price. It was like 700.00 for 3 round trip tickets, but leaving from Houston, Texas I live in Montgomery, Alabama. I am going to have to stop watching my FAVORITE novela (it is called Victorinos- it comes on telemundo every night at 9pm alabama time) and work some overtime! I love that show though. HMMMMM... maybe I need DVR.
Anyways, all my blog friends have a good day and I am going to start trying to post mas seguido!

Need some help

Well everyone knows that I had been debating on going to Mexico when daddy edgar goes back.
I am going! But I need to know from some of you that live in Mexico, what do I need?
I know that somewhere I read that they stamp by passport and it is good for 180 days.
I need some kind of Visa right? And how do I get approved? Is there anyway that I would not be approved? I have a daughter that is not his and would she be approved?
We may live in the main city which is a port so I would try to get a job or something, what do I need to do? Help (oh yeah how much is it approx. so I can start saving?)

I can't think of a title for this blog!!??

Hello everyone! I am at work and I decided to post something, I have not posted in a while. Well, tomorrow (Saturday) we are going to the water park. It is about an hour from here and I wanted to go before summer was over. Even daddy edgar is going. I am really surprised that he is going because he does not usually like stuff like that. So when I said let's go get some trunks for you and he was like for what? I said well it is a water park and they have a dress code. I even bought a bathing suit for myself and I am wondering how it is going to look. I had my baby is December and I have not even lost any of the weight that I have gained. I lost 50 pounds before I got pregnant with little edgar and then I gained it all back and some more. But I will lose again!! Well, I will post again later! Everyone have a nice weekend!!

Time flies............. when you have to work!

Hello to everyone!!! Where have I been? Well.... I have been working and for some reason I have not had time to post anything. Everything is going good. Edgar has 2 teeth and he is really cute. Here recently I have been trying alot more recipes that I have found on the blog, "recipes by leslie". Daddy Edgar is wondering where I have been getting these recipes.
Update on my trip to Mexico. Edgar's mom wants the kids to come down there. So as soon as I can get the passports I was going to take them to the border to meet her. I am not ready to take my vacation week yet. So I will use my vacation week when I go get them. The passports are really expensive. Well not really, I have just been putting it off and now I am going to get all 3 at 1 time. I live in Alabama and I am going to fly out of Houston. I know that sounds crazy to drive that far, but I don't think so because I will be saving 600.00! Everytime I ask Daddy Edgar when he plans on going back, he says at the 1st of the year. I want to go because I love him, but I am really going to miss my grandmother. She is like my mom, I really don't (didn't) have a mom and my grandmother raised me my whole life and she is the sweetest person. I wish you all knew her! My daughter Elisa is going through a stage right now. She thinks because baby edgar has 2 little teeth he can eat anything. I was getting ready to go somewhere and she was in the living room with him and daddy edgar said what is this in his mouth? It was a marshmellow from lucky charms cereal! Then the same day while I was washing dishes she gave him a piece of macaroni and cheese, he had already eaten it by the time that I got to him. I saw the cheese on his lips and that is the only reason why I knew she had given him food. Well, if anyone has any tips or advice on me letting the kids go to mexico alone (without me) please let me know. I do not know the country like some of you do. Take Care everyone and check out some of leslie's recipes!
