This may seem silly but I really wonder why? Why are they drawn to nasty things? Why is it necessary to watch an hour long show about deadly snakes. I don't care to see a snake let alone the inside of a snake. I mean seriously can't we just watch Roseanne or Lifetime? "No honey Next is a show called INFESTATION! These people are infested with ticks." Oh that is a MUST! I mean who isn't dying to see a ton of ticks crawling all over everything! Um gross! That makes my skin crawl. It does not help that I have arachnophobia (I just totally cringed typing that)! I hate bugs too. The only bugs I like is lighting bugs and lady bugs! And I would prefer that they don't touch me either. You say what a girl.....NO I am just a smart girl. (o; Are you asking yourself right now "Did I just waste 5 minutes of my life reading this pointless BLOG about bugs, men and t.v.?" I say to you .....Why yes you did!!! bwahahahahaa This is what happens when I loose control of the remote and am on medication!
Maybe I should clarify the medication thing! It is not for what you think (especially after reading this blog (= ) I am still sick and a little on the edge. I am tired and cranky and really not to be messed with right now. Do you ever have those days where everything bothers? Right down to how the person sitting next to you looks, breathes or smells? Well if you have never then disregard the prior ?question? (o; Enough of the silly! Everyone has their own individual likes and dislikes and that my friend is what makes this world interesting! But it sure would help if everyone agreed with ME!!! (o; Until we meet again ~Jen Diaz~

The FLU bug has landed........)o:
Really...? January 2nd and the we are plagued with the FLU! That stinky virus that you hope and pray won't come knockin' at your door but it never fails just when you are not paying attention it sneaks in through the cracks. And here we are.......Tomas aka the big guy has been hit the hardest and as all of you wives out there will agree that is the worst! They whine twice as much, need more attention (than usual I might add) and they are dying. I mean it can't be the flu it has got to be something worse because HE feels awful! Like when everybody else gets it....it is a walk in the park. NEGATIVE!!!! I have had it pretty mild I must say. The worse I have had is the body aches. I already have bad knees and back! Poor Gabbi has had this this hacky cough that just won't go away. Izzi has the sniffles and is constantly making this snorty like sound with her nose. Claudia she has had zero, zilch, nada, big fat zero! Thank GOD! Let's hope that it stays that way. Every once in a while she will say "Mom I think I am warm. Feel my forehead!" Poor thing ;o) Doesn't wanna be left out! SO all the organizing and refreshing of rooms will have to wait for another few days! Oh well it is out of my control for now. It is probably best that way because now I will need to get rid of all the germs! I really hope that this is not an omen for what my year has in store for me. That would really kinda suck! Suck bad..........folds arms and takes a deep breathe.......Well I guess only time will tell. Until we meet again~Jen Diaz~

Welcome 2012..........
Happy New Year!!!! We had a very uneventful new year's eve at the Diaz home and that is exactly how we wanted it. A nice quiet evening together with A LOT of munchies! Chex mix, lil' smokies, mud n' chips, pigs n' a blanket (hot dogs in crescent rolls) and lots of cookies! We watched Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years! I love how there is a feeling of optimism for the new year. A feeling of a fresh start. I have an overwhelming feeling to get ORGANIZED! Like to clean and organize every corner in my home.....this shall pass. (swallows..takes deep breathe) I hope! Oh how I wish that i was Samantha Stevens for one day! (o;
Monday we are organizing Gabbi and Izzi's room...GOD I pray that I make it out alive! It is gonna be a project but it needs to be done. THEY are lil' piglets! I am afraid of what I am getting myself into but they ARE gonna do the majority of the work whether like it or not! After we tackle the beast we will work on Claudia's room. That will not be AS bad but still a chore in itself. I have been searching Pinterest for organization ideas for girls rooms and I have found some fabulous ideas for NO $$$ money! I love PINTEREST! It is an addiction in the making.....lol! (o; Once I get the girlies situated I can move on to my laundry area....I hate laundry but I have found some cool ideas to make it easier none the less. Now if I can only get someone to sort and put away the laundry??? Goals for the new year..lol I then am gonna hire Martha Stewart to help me with my kitchen and my craft room! Or my MOM she is a close substitute! I have tons of cabinet space but no room if that makes any sense at all? For Christmas my girls received popcorn machine, dip n' dots maker, cotton candy maker, chocolate fountain, and a cupcake maker! Santa lost his marbles! My girls LOVE to bake and cook! But now I have all these and all my makers and crock pots and other gadgets! So hopefully this new year will help me become more organized person but I am gonna take it one step at a time! SO here's to big dreams and OPTIMISM for this new year!!!! Until we meet again...........~jen diaz~
p.s. I will post pics with the end of each project.....no before why emberass myself! (o:

The holidays.......
Well Christmas has came and gone now! I have mixed emotions about that. You spend so much time preparing for it and it is gone in a flash. We make special time to spend with our loved ones and just enjoy being together even if we don't exchange gifts. The heartbreaking truth is most of us won't get together again for another year. Maybe we will see each other at the store or (gag) Walmart. But we will not make time to spend together. Is life really that busy for us that we can't take one evening or weekend afternoon to just get together and visit? My answer is NO. We just don't want to make the time! We are selfish individuals. I am guilty of that on several occasions. But as I look at my kids growing fast I think to myself I want them to have memories of our families being together all the time!
We were spoiled this year with many gifts. More than I ever dreamed of. We ate tons of great food and sat by the fireplace and talked. The girls giggled while playing with their new toys (OK not the whole time...they fought over who was gonna play with what first but hey let me have my Norman Rockwell moment!!) All and all it was a FanTaSTic Christmas!!!
Now we get ready for the new year! In our younger years we would have got all dressed up and went to a dance or went to the bars but now it is all about spending time with family at home! Normally we have Wii tournaments, EAT alot of snacky foods and most definately karaoke! It is truly the best way to end the old year and begin the new year. This year has been good and bad but I am ready for a fresh start for all my family!!! Here's 2012!! Let's make it a wonderful year full of health, wealth and love!!! Oh and good food....that is important too. ;o)
I wish that we would have taken more pictures this Christmas but we will have the memories forever!! I hope that your holidays were as blessed as mine were. And I wish you the Happiest New Year! Cheers...........until we meet again ~Jen Diaz~

Rain rain go AWAY!
Luck.......I have had NONE lately! You know the saying when it rains it pours? Well it is pouring right now! It has been a series of unfortunate events at my house the past week or so.......the kind of luck that is COMEDY worthy. Well here we go I will entertain you with my life!!!!
Deep breathe here we go..........So it all started with my van. It is overheating and there is a clunky noise from underneath and a squealy belt like noise going on. Which only translates to me like this $$$$$$$! I have only been driving when absolutely necessary! Then we noticed some water around the toilets in both bathrooms. Well Tomas put on his plumber hat and showed a lil' butt crack and figured out that the tank is cracked on our main toilet! So it is leaking into the other bathroom! So there again $$$$$! And if that is not enough to just make your head spin......along comes Friday and there is NO DEPOSIT! None zilch nada a big fat zero! Come to find out NOBODY got paid. What the ???? How the???? I mean seriously! I have a sqealy clunkity van and a leaky toilet and NO $$$$$$! Ok are you cracking up yet? It gets better! So all this stress but hey let's throw in a slumber party and a wienie roast! I mean why not??? So no relaxing all weekend, everyone is GROUCHY in my house and really need to get laundry started for Monday and guess what??? Yup you guessed it NO SOAP! None not a drop! Good thing everyone did have something to wear! Monday is here finally here.....awwww! Sigh of relief right? NO no NO! Still no deposit and no answers! Get the girls ready for school and of course no bread for lunches and 1 juice box left! Hello Monday! Izzi forgets her jacket so I have to make a trip back to the school......then I notice that Claudia forgot he water bottle for her lunch.....trip #2 to the school! I must say I am a good momma! So after school I go to get gas and while I am pumping the gas my 10 year old gets out (she is the only one with me) and accidentally locks the van. Yes the clunkity squealy van! And wait did I mention I had both sets of keys with me? Well I did! So thank God my mom was there in her van and had her phone cuz mine was locked in the van! We called the lock smith and 30 minutes and $40 later we were in! So there you have it! That is my series of unfortunate events and I am praying that the lil' black rain cloud is moving on to the next poor soul! Yes it is FUNNY to read NOW but I can't say that I was laughing then.....and I can't repeat the things that were said either......I am not always an ANGEL!! ;o) Well a lil' bird said blog about it sista' so that I have done and now I can laugh about it..........um NOPE not yet but at least ya'll can get a kick out of a day in the life of ME!
Well that is all I can take for today HELL for a year! I am eating me some popcorn and ending this day with my family! P.j.s on and I am doing nothing more for today! GOOD BYE bad luck you are not welcome anymore!
Until we meet again ~Jen~

ChRiStMaS...........I am SOOOOO decoratin' for it already!
I have been trying to "clean" from top to bottom each room in mi' casa and while I am doing this I am gonna go ahead and start gettin' my Christmas stuff out! YES I said it I am going to start decorating for my favorite time of the year! Call me CRaZY........go ahead I will wait....O.K. I look at it like this I love my Christmas decorations and I want them out as long as possible so if Walmart can do it why can't I????? Hmmm! Now you are thinking about it too huh? Maybe my tree (then me clarify that, my main tree) won't go up right away but the 5,000 santa's and 1,000,000 snowmen will be coming out of hibernation really soon! There are 3 snowmen in my living room right now as we speak! I love decorating and I love buying gifts for people and I love the whole feeling that the holidays radiates! It is really the most WoNdErFuL time of the year! Little by little my house will be transformed into a winter wonderland....each and every room! O.k. maybe not the bathrooms but all the rest! Now the only crappy thing is getting some the MANY boxes and totes from my mom's attic! Grrrrr! Honey can you do me a favor? That is a big (clears throat....H*LL NO) no dear not YET! But really does the big guy have a say....um no not really! Sorry honey I love you but I am just not giving you that control!!! ;o)
SO my stinkin' van is on the fritz. Not really sure what is going on with it because one day it runs perfecto and the next not SO perfecto! I get it everyone has their days but really I kinda need my van. We kindalive in it somedays......well most days it seems! I had to drive the hubby's truck to get the girls and yeah that is NOT really cool at all! Just not digging the whole stick thing! Oh well it will all work out one way or another! =)
Until next time.........believe it or not I have nothing more to say! ;o)
