I can’t stop staring at Bella. She is turning in to a little woman. I know she’s only 5 but gosh! I feel like just yesterday she was in my belly. She’s a sensitive girl. She cries if someone calls her a name. She’s still jealous of the attention we give Gabriel. I try to give them equal amount of attention but sometimes Gabriel requires bit more since he’s still a toddler. On Saturday morning Bella got scratched inside her eye by Gabriel. He was just waking up and Bella went to hug him when he struck. At first we taught he had just pocked her in the eye but it was worse then that. Her eye was really red and she could not keep it open with out being in pain. She fell asleep for about an hour which I taught would help but it didn’t. When she woke up she was still in pain at moments even crying hysterically. I didn’t know what to do. While I was trying to console her Gabriel was watching blues clues in the room. He loves blues clues but it must have been a rerun because when I went to check on him he had gotten to my face cream and got it all over his hair and body. So I had Bella in one room crying hysterically while I tried to wash all the face cream out of Gabriel’s hair and body. It was a mess! Finally I decided to call the doctor. I guess eye punctures are quite common and they do require a doctor visit. So I took Bella to the doctor. It was a pretty quick visit. The doctor dilated her eye. He was able to see a scratch in it and he gave us some ointment to help with the healing and pain. Later on that night we let her pick a restaurant to have dinner in. She picked our favorite Chinese restaurant. She loves going because of the chop sticks and their egg drop soup. Well this visit was not too pleasant. AJ found a dead mosquito in his soup. He sent the soup back but felt really grossed out. When the main course came AJ felt even more grossed out because it smelled similar to the soup. AJ went to the manager in charge to explain why he was leaving his meal with out touching it. The place was packed. AJ told me he was going to pull this guy to the side so he wouldn’t embarrass him in front of the other customers. So he gets up, takes him to the back and then all of a sudden this guy (the manager) is rushing our table yelling “YOU ORDER YOU PAY” with AJ following behind. AJ kept telling him….calm down sir, I never said I wasn’t paying I was just telling you why I wasn’t eating my dinner as a courtesy since we come here a lot. But this guy was a total jerk. I felt horrible. You should have seen the way he spoke to me. I kept my cool. I told him to please relax there was no need to yell. I got my kids and headed for the door with out even finishing my dinner. Of course I paid him! we had always intended to pay him. Before we left AJ asked him if he could step outside to have a word with him. AJ told him he was a total ass for assuming that we didn’t want to pay. The guy said sorry but kept saying “ just doing my job” I felt bad because we go to this place at least once a week. We are always raving to our friends how good their food is and how great their staff is. It sucks because I have to find a new Chinese restaurant to go to. Of course Bella was sad because she didn’t get soup or chop sticksL Back to my kids…. I look at my kids faces sometimes and I feel this tremendous amount of joy and pride. I made them! (Is that taking too much credit?) Their beautiful faces are unique…one of a kind. There is no other person in the world like them! Gabriel has this crazy personality. He loves to play rough, jump, play cars but he also has this sensitive side. If someone is hurt or sad he comforts them. If it’s dark he pats me in the head and says “its ok mama, I here” which is what I tell him when he is scared. He is talking more and more each day. He is getting the concept of mine and yours. He takes good care of his stuff especially his book and crayon he carries with him everywhere. If we get in the car and he doesn’t have them he says “OH NO MY BOOK, my CRAYON” He’s just adorable. We are starting to potty train him. So far it’s not going as fast as I would like but in time I’m sure he will get it. Bella starts kindergarten in September. I’m excited to take her back to school shopping. I want to make it a memorable experience. I remember growing up having my parents take me back to school shopping and it was always fun. Recently I read the book the secret. In the book it talks about making a vision board to help you focus on your dreams and goal. Well Bella and I made our own. We cut up stuff from magazines and glued them to this huge board. Mine is pretty normal…stuff like vacations in the beach, motivation to exercise…stuff like that. Well Bella’s has nothing but diamond rings, designer shoes and handbags, pretty weeding dresses and flowers. I admire her passion. When we where making it I told her to cut up stuff she wanted….well if that’s what she wants I will let her believe! There is nothing wrong with believing. Oh and on the vision board .I’m manifesting it. I believe and it’s HAPPENING!
