soccer.jpgDani, was always a very “undefined” boy regarding his choices specially Sport ones.

He quited Judo, quited Kempo and until yesterday he was only attending swimming classes with school. I think he gets tired of sports, not because he wants to be still or quiet but he loses interest in the sport itself.

He…

Thursday Catherine started feeling down, and by down I mean, tired, complaining about everything, wanting to be on my lap, complaining about tummy ache, ear ache, leg pain, well…only her hair was not aching.

Friday morning she cried a lot because she didn’t want to go to school and wanted to stay home with mom. She…

I started blogging almost 2 years ago. I started two blogs almost at the same time in two different languages: Portuguese and English. As I always read more English blogs than Portuguese ones, in November 2006 I decided to write only in English.

In March 2007 it was my first contact with paid posts and I…

Well, I really want to thank Connie from My Chronic Life for giving me the Excellent badger. It means a lot to me.

There is so much I want to write on this blog, improve it, but I realize that managing a full time job, two kids and three blogs (four with the…

Saturday my son received his birthday present (a little late but worth waiting for) from his grandmother and grandfather (my in laws). It was money and together with the money he already had on his piggy he discovered that he could buy what he has been asking for for a long time, and we have been…

Well, my son keeps being very mysterious about the secret girlfriend but I knew through a school friend that the flowers were a success.

He asked a friend to give the flowers to the “girlfriend” (he’s too shy) and it seems that the class (she is from another classroom) was delighted with…

My daughter found this potato chip inside a chips bag. She immediately said: Mom, look, it’s an heart.

This is the Flowers my son is giving to his secret girlfriend today.

We bought the Flowers yesterday and he was the one that chose exactly how he wanted the bouquet.

I look forward to the end of the day to check with him what was the girl’s reaction.

I found a great and simple site where my daughter (nearly 4) can do what she really likes: coloring.

Coloring is a very simple site where you can find a lot of interesting and beautiful drawings to color. Coloring is done by choosing the color we want and then pressing the area we want to color.…

I find this so amusing. My son, who recently turned 9, has a secret girlfriend. He refuses to say her name, I just know it’s from his school but not from his class and has a twin sister. Interesting.

He’s preparing an envelope with something inside, he doesn’t let me see and tomorrow he wants to…

tired.jpgLast week was a tough week. Not only physiologically but also physically.

I know what a depression is, I’ve been there and I don’t want to be there again. I know when I’m on the edge, I know what my limits are. Last week I was near but still far enough from the edge.

…but time has been too short to update my blogs. I literally “crashed” physically last week and I wasn’t able to blog as I used to. I hope to get back on track tomorrow.
