Yippie!

So, my girls want ZhuZhu pets for Christmas.  If you know what a ZhuZhu pet is, you probably have little kids and you probably know that they are a “hot toy” for Christmas and that they are impossible to find.

There was a thread started at DST about ZhuZhu pets.  And Holley from Savings Diner posted that she was having a giveaway on her blog for one.  I got her newsletter yesterday and found out that I won this –

Cool!  One of my girls will be happy.  We decided last night that if we can find a second one before Christmas that they will both get them for Christmas, if not, Alyce will get this one for her birthday on December 2.  Hopefully by Kat’s birthday in April they will be back in supply in the stores.

So, thank you Holley so much!

So, has everyone seen New Moon yet?  Ok, it’s only been out since Thursday night, you may not have seen it.  I won’t give a huge spoiler about it.  I went with my mom, sister, SIL, and my niece to the midnight showing Thursday night.  I almost didn’t get to go.  Pato’s boss decided that was the night they were all going to get down and dirty and clean the floor with acid.  When they do that, Pato doesn’t get home until 2 AM.  He said to his boss, I can’t.  I have to be home by 11 with the kids.  His boss said, why?  Pato said because Heather is going to watch a movie with her family.  His boss said, whatever, get the floor done.  Pato said, I’m not joking, I told her I’d be home in time.  She’s been planning this for months.  His boss, she’s been planning to go to a movie for months?  Then there was a phrase in Spanish that basically means, don’t be dramatic.  He got me on the phone while his boss was standing there and told me that they wanted him to clean the floor that night, and hearing me go off from where his boss was standing must have been the turning point in that conversation because Pato was home by 11.  LOL  I said, it’s a good thing because if you’d been late he would have needed some Blue Cross Blue Shield NC insurance for medical injuries.  Ok, I really didn’t say that.  ROFL  But, I was thinking if he kept up this whole Carlos isn’t letting me leave, I have to stay to help clean the floor or I’ll get fired, someone was going to get hurt.  Either Carlos for making him do it or Pato for not having juevos and staying to do it. 

I loved the movie.  I always do.  I think it’s my whole Robert Pattinson cougar fantasy thing.  (Me being the cougar.  ROFL)  The only thing that drives me nuts in both movies so far is when Kristen Stewart is upset, or serious, or anything like that, her eye fluttering thing.  I’ve never seen anyone’s eyes flutter like that when they are upset, but I guess if it works for her, it works for her. 

I don’t know if this is a spoiler or not because I’m not going to tell you anything about the storyline really, but I’ll put it in white just in case, just mouse over it to read it.  Unless you already read what I thought at DST.  It’s the same thing.

The ending was too abrupt for me after reading the books.  It didn’t end that quickly in the book.  It was boom, ending, done.  huh? 

And hair and make up was 1000 times better in this one.  I’m thinking the budget was better this time and they could afford a decent make up artist who paid attention.  Did you notice in Twilight that when Robert Pattinson has his back to the camera, or it’s a side view, that his neck and ears are red while his face is white?  They didn’t cover all of him with the make up.  It was really obvious in one of the cafeteria scenes in Twilight.   Peter Facinelli looked FABULOUS this time.  That man is so nice to look at when he’s not done up like Carlisle Cullen and in the first movie there was something about his hair, whether it be the style or the shade of blonde, he didn’t come off as the drop dead gorgeous doctor with movie star looks that every woman drooled over in the book.  This time they fixed that and he looked really good.  I’ve been thinking about cutting my hair like Alice’s in this movie since I first saw pictures of how it was months ago.  Seeing it in action in the movie, I think I’m completely sold on that hair style.  So so so cute.  I think I’m going to do it.  I’m tired of Christiano pulling my hair out.

 

Come to think of it, that’s kind of similar to my hairstyle I had in January this year, but not totally.  So cute!

See, if you read that, not to bad of a spoiler, but I know some people don’t want to know anything before they see the movie.  Better to be safe than sorry!

Kids are still sick.  I’m still coughing.  Hopefully we’ll get over this before we are supposed to leave for Ohio on Tuesday.  I’m not taking a sick 9 month old and 2 year old in the car on a 13 hour road trip if they aren’t feel good still.

Have a great day!

Do you ever…

wish you had some sort of emergency alert system system for your kids when they are sick at night.  I don’t think that’s what they would be called, but a monitor of some type?  I know they have them for newborns.  I worry so much when Christiano is sick and little like this.  I even worry about Alyce.  They are both having so much trouble breathing while they are sick and I always worry that something will happen in the middle of the night and I won’t hear it.  It’s my little thing that keeps me from sleeping well when they are sick and why I was up at 5 this morning.  Christiano just sounded horrible.  He couldn’t sleep well either, so all night we were up off and on.  He couldn’t nurse because he couldn’t breathe and the nose sucker wasn’t doing the job we needed done.  And of course with the FDA saying don’t give kids under 6 cold medicine, what do you do?  My dr told me I could give it to Alyce awhile ago when she was sick.  But he’s never told me to give it Christiano and there are no doses on the bottles for little guys like him.  They just have to suffer it out. :(

Sick Kids

Well, it’s officially that time of year.  I had to take Kat to the DR on Monday for a cough that left her gasping at night for air.  She was back on her nebulizer and they gave her prednisone and a codeine cough medicine.  Her she is taking a nebulizer treatment – not the greatest pic, I snapped it with my cell phone –

Is that not the saddest little face?  She’s had to have her nebulizer when she is sick since she was 9 months old with pneumonia.  At least she doesn’t cry the whole time she’s using it now that she’s older.  She just cried when she has to take the cough medicine.  I forgot to get it flavored and I guess it tastes bad.

Jordan started coughing yesterday.  Alyce started coughing last night and she sounds worse than any of them.  Her’s sounds like it’s in her chest.  That real deep cough that sounds like a seal.  And I’ve been hacking up a lung now for a couple of days.  It’s getting old. 

Here’s to everyone being healthy by Tuesday.  We’re supposed to leave Tuesday night to spend Thanksgiving in Ohio before his mom goes back to Mexico.  I am not thrilled because I’ll have to Black Friday shop in Ohio, but it’s better than not shopping period.  Plus, instead of a nice turkey dinner my family makes, I’ll be having enchiladas, which are great, just not my idea of Thanksgiving dinner.  Oh well.  And so it is.

Anyone else stoked that New Moon opens up tonight?  I bought our tickets 2 weeks ago.  I’m going with my mom, sister, sister in law, and my niece.  Jordan is mad that my niece gets to go and he doesn’t, but like I told him, I don’t have to get Tay up for school tomorrow.  I have to get him up.  He can either wait for the DVD or maybe we can go as a family later.  I don’t think I’ll mind seeing it twice in the theater.  I’m more excited than a golfer sifting through a Myrtle beach golf packages.  (How smooth was that?)  Pato was going to grab me an Edward shirt at Walmart last night, but they didn’t have any.  I’m thinking about packing up the kids and going to Hot Topic to get something to wear, but that wouldn’t be nice when Alyce is feeling miserable, would it?

Let me tell you how dedicated my mom is.  Somehow she fell off a treadmill last night and had to be taken by ambulance to the ER.  This is scary to our family because of the condition of my mom’s back.  (Bulging and herniated discs up and down her spine.)  She hurt her hamstring.  My dad said, I guess this means you won’t be going tomorrow night.  She said, oh I’m going.  The girls can help me get in and out.  You go mom!

Have a great day!!
