GOODBYE!!

For a week that is.....

FINALLY!
It seems like I've been waiting forever for this trip!
Can't wait to leave. Wish we were leaving tonight.

 So my absence from blogging is for
vacationing purposes. :)

The Park

WARNING!!
 
Picture Overload!!
 
We took Matthew to the park the other day. It was so much fun!
We don't get to take him there very often because of work/schedule 
conflicts. (I don't like to go there alone. There are a lot of crazy people
in the world and parks are just one of those places I don't go to by
myself. Call me crazy or paranoid. I don't care.)

My mom came with us. She ended up helping Matty climb all
the steps up to the slides. He did NOT want anything to do
with me or Berto. Only Grandma. He's always like that when she's around.
At least she knows she's loved. hahaha

I LOVE the pictures we captured while we were there. Matthew is so
stinking adorable. I love him. :)



 Enjoy!


















These pictures are from today (Sunday). Since my mom was nice enough to watch Matty for us while we went on a date to celebrate our anniversary, Matty went to church with her. We had him looking all spiffy for church. He is just so handsome. :)





This one is a little blurry

Sorry Berto I cut off the top of your head! Compliments of my fabulous photography skills! hahahaha

I just love his serious face. Something very dramatic was happening.
Mommy & Matty. I LOVE this picture :)


Happy weekend and Happy rest of the week! 4 days until we leave for California!
Can't wait, so excited!

Happy 4th Anniversary!!!!

February 20, 2007 I married the love of my life Roberto.
Here we are 4 years later and still going strong. I can't believe what a crazy 4 years its been! Many and I mean MANY people said we would never last but here we are. We have a beautiful baby boy and are happier than ever. I couldn't have asked for a better husband/family. I am truly blessed and can't wait to see what our future holds. Berto I love you more than you'll ever know.
 Happy 4 years and to many more!! I love you! 






Let me take you back 4+ years ago....

Awww the dating life :)


Some more dating

This is our "wedding day." 02/20/2007
We didn't have a fancy wedding. We just went down to the
court house and made it official. One day I do plan on having a
"wedding" with the big, fancy dress and the whole shebang. Maybe for our 5 year anniversary.....




ONE YEAR!





For our one year anniversary, we went to San Diego. We decided to go to Sea World and do some shopping. It was a lot of fun, but let me tell you I'll probably never go back to Sea World. $70 bucks for tickets to see big fish swim around is so not worth it.... WAY over priced.






TWO YEARS!!

This is actually more like two and a half years. I was VERY pregnant during our 2 year anniversary and refused to let anyone take pictures of me. (Sadly, I have a lot of regret because now I have no pics of me pregnant with Matty) So this is from the September after our 2 year anniversary. I can't even remember what we did for this anniversary. I know Berto bought me a pair of diamond earrings. They are the only earrings I ever wear. Hmmm.... I'll have to ask him and see if he remembers.




We added a baby in between.
Mr. Matthew Serrano.

Newborn 07/03/09

19 Months


THREE YEARS!!!


 
For our 3 year anniversary we went to Disneyland. Surprise, surprise. We have spent a lot of our married life together at Disneyland. We both love to go there. Besides its the Happiest Place on Earth!! We had a lot of fun but it was the first time we ever spent a long period of time away from Matthew so it was hard. I was anxious to get back to him.





4 YEARS!!!!


 Today we celebrated our 4 year anniversary! Berto was sweet and took me to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch and then we did a little shopping. (Thanks mom for watching Matty.) We had an awesome day!!







Snickers Crunch Cheesecake
This was my dessert from lunch. This cheesecake was so amazing! To die for. I totally want another piece now after looking at this picture!






HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BERTO!!

LoVe Is In ThE aIr....

hApPy VaLeNtiNe's DaY!!!

 Hope everyone has a great day FULL of LOVE!!!

Call me.....

STUPID!!!!
 
Yep, that's right I give those of you who read my blog
permission to call me stupid!!
Let me explain why...
 
I have spent 2 days (much longer because I've been trying to figure this out for awhile)
trying to figure out how to change the font on my blog. I have noticed some of my
friends and some friends of friends have really cute fonts on their blog.
This lead me to google how to add a cute font to my blog.
That lead me to a website with step by step directions on how to add a font.
It consisted of downloading a font from their website and then "unzipping" it,
then opening an account on some website called webs.com (which I am now a member of)
where I then had to download 4 other  files.
After unzipping and downloading...
 
 
POOF
I should be able to have a super cute font on my blog right??
NOPE!! NOTHING! NADA!
Same old boring font I had before. 
All the unzipping and downloading was a HUGE 2-3 hours of time wasted!!!
 
Now how do I have a cute font you might be asking??
Freaking blogger has an option in their template to change the font.
You just go to the advanced options and choose a font!!
How freaking easy is that?
I'm SOOOO MAD that I wasted so much time when it was right there
in front of my face the entire time!!
The thing that makes me so mad is that this MUST be a recent change because a
couple months ago when I started this stupid escapade there was only
the plain fonts as an option.

At least that's my story...
and I'm sticking to it.

Moral of the story....


Sometimes things really ARE just that easy.

And now I have a super cute font and I am happy.
It made my day  morning (its 12:58AM)

Goodnightmorning!

Quote

As I was blog stalking a few days ago, I came
across a quote that fits my life so perfectly at the
moment. I couldn't help but steal it and share it.




"Bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people."

 Could NOT be more true at this moment
in my life. But, I have faith that the bad people
who have wronged me, will get what's coming to
them.

KARMA
The total effect of a person's actions and conduct during the successive phases of the person's existence, regarded as determining the person's destiny.
 
Happy Friday.
Enjoying staying home with my Matty.
I just really need something to do
to make the days go by faster. I 
think it is so hard right now because
I know I have my vacation coming up.
Before I got fired, my job was keeping
my days pretty occupied so they went by
faster. Now all I do is think.... 
I swear thinking can make a person crazy.
I HAVE to find something to do.
I did start up a blanket. It has a crocheted 
edge, but it's really hard to poke holes
through the fabric and my hands get sore after
awhile. So I'm taking a break.I'll post pics of
it if I ever finish it.
 
I also have my crime shows. Haha. Investigation Discovery Channel. Yep, I freaking love crime shows. 
 
Don't Judge Me.
 
 
Til next time, or until something super
exciting happens....

If you have any advice, please leave it!

Well, this Friday= 2 freaking weeks until vacation.
I'm sure those of you that read my blog
are sick of hearing about it. But you know what?
I really don't care!!!!!!

My whole existence NEEDS this vacation and its all I can talk
about right now.

So deal with it :)

My blog now will probably consist of things that I am doing
now that I am a stay at home mom.
I have never stayed home....
I have worked since I turned 16 and have been a full time worker since.
So life will be pretty interesting...
I know its gonna be really hard because I've never done it.
I know its not all cushy  and fun and games but I'm guessing it
beats a job you hate right?

I could definitely use some advice from you stay at home moms.
If you have any.....
comment on here or email me

Thanks guys!

**oh and sorry about my ranting last post. I just needed to vent and this is the most
private thing I have.**

Some people are just plain BAD people

AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!!!

It sucks, but life goes on.
This is regarding my job, or lack thereof.
This last Monday I was fired from my job. The same job I've had
for the past 4 and a half YEARS.
Ya, years. I have devoted 4+ years to the same pediatric clinic and
I got fired! HA!
Here's the thing. 8 months ago, the practice was ran by a doctor/woman that
is so amazing and wonderful. 
8 months ago, that wonderful woman retired and sold the practice
to the most evil, two faced person I have ever met.
The sad part?? 
I knew and was friends with the doctor that took over BEFORE she
ever became a doctor. So I not only was fired, I was fired by someone
who used to be my friend. Pretty evil right?
Well, that being said, the past 8 months have been nothing but
stress from this person. She and her husband are greedy people who
are not in the business of helping children, they are in the business
to make money and to make the most money they can get even if it is
dishonest or wrong. And no matter who they will take down with them.
I used to be her friend, until I realized that she is not a good person.
Therefore, I deleted her from my facebook page and decided it was
best to find Matthew a new pediatrician and I just stopped talking to her
unless my job absolutely called for it. I figured don't say anything at all
if I don't have anything nice to say. Right?
Apparently by not speaking to her like we were BFF's I had a bad attitude
and people she  were was complaining about my conduct at work.
All of this being a bold face lie. 
She made some pretty horrendous accusations about me and put
them as reasons to be fired. One in particular that bothers me is 
that I endangered the life of a newborn by not offering
a same day appointment. The thing about that is that she was NOT 
there when I spoke to the mother and I did offer her TWO different
appointments, but the mother did not feel her newborn was sick enough
to come in. What am I supposed to do? Force her?
Well, because she didn't come until the next day, I endangered the child's life.
(By the way, the baby was perfectly fine)
HOW on earth can you possibly accuse me of something like that
when I not only have a child of my own, but I have worked in pediatrics for over 4
years? I would NEVER intentionally harm a child or any human being for that matter.
It's just plain ridiculous!

I have been contemplating quitting this job for awhile and getting fired
just gave me the opportunity to collect unemployment. It just 
bothers me that I am being accused of things that are so
WRONG!  I just hate that this woman has ruined my reputation
and there is nothing I can do to prove that she is a terrible person.
I am lucky enough to have the respect of the previous doctor for recommendations
and things of that nature so I don't need anything from the witch.


This is all stuff that just blew up.
My main problem with this woman is that she shouldn't be
practicing medicine. She told me to wait to take Matty
to the ER back in October. I knew he was getting dehydrated because
he had hand, foot, mouth disease and wouldn't eat or drink anything.
I called her at 9AM and she told me to wait until 3PM that afternoon
to see if he got worse! 
He had an ear infection TWICE and she told me she
wanted to wait til it got a little worse before she would treat
it with an antibiotic. 
WTF!?
These are the reasons I switched pediatricians.
There's just something not right about her.

I just needed to vent because right now I am VERY frustrated by
this situation.

It is a blessing that I am able to stay home with
my little man and not have to stress about that hell hole anymore.
I just hate other parts that I don't want to bring up on here.

I've got to figure out some stuff...............

Chuckles & Flo

So we have added to the family.





FISH that is....



This is Chuckles & Flo
( Can you tell we like Finding Nemo?? Both names are fish from the movie)

The orange one is mine
(Chuckles)
And the red, spotted one is Kinsey's
(Flo)

BBB
Big Boy Bed
 
Yes, That's right. My 19 month old officially has and SLEEPS in a toddler bed.
He really is no longer a baby by any means. He sits at the table with us, he laughs at movies (this is so funny), he sleeps in a normal bed instead of a cage crib.
I love his new found freedom but it just means that I no longer have a cute little baby. I have a handsome big boy. I am having a hard time believing it!
I guess this means I may have to just have another baby to fill the void.
(HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA TOTALLY KIDDING. Not any time soon!!!!!!)

So here's Matty in his new bed.
Enjoy!
