A Little Trip to Antigua

Posted on September 30, 2007 - Filed Under Kids, Personal, Simple Life | Leave a Comment

I haven´t been to Antigua in eons, although we plan to go almost every day, something always comes up. So, today, we decided to head out, no matter what. Dante stayed with his tia Diana, since it was starting to sprinkle a bit. Irving borrowed his dad´s motorcycle and we squished Dorian between us and [...]

My New Pet

Posted on September 30, 2007 - Filed Under Personal, Simple Life | 3 Comments

Yesterday, I was sitting calmly at my computer, being totally lazy and playing Diner Dash 2, when Dorian ran over and yelled “RAÑA!”
For those of you not familiar with baby Spanish, that would be “araña” which means spider. Don´t ask me where he learned that word, I usually squash spiders before anyone has a chance [...]

Ok, I´m just collecting memes these days! I guess because they seem to get a response . . .other times I feel like I´m talking to myself! So, Island Reviews (a very cool contest blog that is on my blog reader) is starting a really fun new meme called Aloha Friday where you ask a [...]

Be Still

I´ve been trying to figure out how to get balance back in my life. I´m not a very balanced person, really, working too hard one day, not enough the next, never ever finishing the mountain of laundry (and that´s with someone actually doing the washing for me!).
Then the other day, after the whole thing with [...]

Appetizer
How are you today?
I´m tired, since BOTH boys were up at 3 am. I don´t know why they do that . . . might have something to do with me being an insomniac for the majority of my adult life.

Guess Who´s Being a Copycat?

Posted on September 27, 2007 - Filed Under Kids, Personal | Leave a Comment

Dante is turning into a real little person now. He´s very interactive and has started to copy his adored big brother. I can see this going to some very bad places in the future, but for now, he mostly just cries when Dorian cries, laughs when he laughs and wants to play with the same [...]

The Loneliest Day of My Life

Posted on September 25, 2007 - Filed Under Personal | 4 Comments

I just realized how completely and utterly alone I am down here in Guatemala. I have no support at all.
Other expat moms get together, because their kids go to the same day care and they have cars, so getting from one place to another is not a problem. For me, getting to the house of [...]

I´ve Been Scammed by LCP

Posted on September 24, 2007 - Filed Under Personal | Leave a Comment

This is really embarrassing to write about, but I do want to get the word out there, so this will be going up on both At Home Mom and Expat Mom.
If you see ads looking for freelance writers, saying they will pay $50 an article, be very, very careful. LCP Publishing is also known as [...]

Anyone Here Podcast?

Posted on September 24, 2007 - Filed Under Mom Stuff, Personal | 4 Comments

Just curious if anyone here has ever done a podcast. I was over at Grow Your Writing Business this weekend for the Writer´s Cafe and we all got to talking about how podcasting can be a good way to make yourself more identifiable to your audience.
For me, personally, podcasting is just scary. I´m not that [...]

Low Down Sunday

Posted on September 23, 2007 - Filed Under Personal | Leave a Comment

I´m feeling a bit bummed out today. Dante has woken up at 3 am for the past few mornings and doesn´t go back to sleep until Dorian is getting up. Since Irving hasn´t been around (he´s playing a lot these days), that means I´m getting up all night and then for good at 3 am [...]
