I've had several missed attempts to blog here and vlog on my youtube channel more than I actually do. Today i'm actually taking an initial leap and I'm actually gonna do it! YAY ME!
Get ready for tons of ramblings about the day to day like of a stay at home wife and a mother of two (4 year old Travis and 18 month old Sebastian)

I need an easy button
I havent been here much due to PLENTY and I mean plenty of life's little curveballs. After the first week of school (daycare) , my boys had ear infection. Stan and I of course were contaminated as well. I had to suck it up for training but Stan took Monday (3/15) off with Travis. Both were sick at home. Sebastian's condition got worse towards the end of the week and I had to miss training by Thursday (3/18) to take him to the doctor and to find out that he needs albuterol treatment from the nebulizer and antibiotics for his ear infection. I really didnt want to miss work/training that day since it was week 2 of my new job but I was left with not much choice =/. He was still sick and my mom took care of Sebastian Friday.
Saturday was a strange day. It got the best of me. The sleepless nights, the mental stress, and looong hours of driving to West Covina finally took its toll. I felt sick to my stomach and nauseaus all day and wanted to crawl into a ball, but I had to just shake it off because I had to take care of my 2 sick kidssss.
This week was a little bit better. I still take Sebastian to daycare while Stan takes Trav. He'ss gotten much better. He doesnt refuse to go anymore although started demaning PRESENTS! We bribed him with hotwheel cars the 1st week so it kinda continued. We know its not right, but for a dollar of so a pop for a hotwheel... we save ourselves some trouble in the morning and when we pick him up! Everyone is happy at the end so whatever. (Hey, we never claimed to be perfect parents- we just know how to make it work for us !)
Sebastian's cough never went away and his fever was on and off, but the schoool never called for us to pick him up (yet!). My poor baby, green stuff was leaking out of his ear when I picked him up from school today....ugh . The story of my life =/ I've always been an optimist, but lately..well...ever since I started working..really... It's just been pretty darn rough.
Today, is actually another mentally exhausting day. Over the weekend, we tried to lease a Toyota Venza since my lease on the BMW 328i is almost up...well it turns out, a random creditor reported me as deceased! Something like- SS#- subject deceased! Its actually funny! So needless to say, Toyota couldnt Lease a car to a dead person! WIth that being said, my new employer happen to also raise their eyebrow about it. After my series of interview, my employer wantd to hire me and get me started with the training, so while they waited for the results of the background and credit check, they put me through an agency. Its actually the same thing, theyre basically just not liable for me or something like that. So the other day , the day after I found out that my credit report has been tampered with, HR pulled me after training to ask what the deal is with the deceased status. Luckily I tried to purchase a car and found out ! Otherwise I woulda been like "WTF are you taslking about! " hahaha, can you imagine!? Well she was nice enough to let me take a day off to take care of it so thats what I did today.
Printed my credit report from freecreditreport.com ( no score ! snce im deseased! wtf) Did a lot of disputing, went to Social Security office to have my number verified and to make sure all is OKKKKKAAAAYYY. So yeah, thats my life in a nutshell. Ive been feeling really sick and exhausted. Its like I never got to catch up on physical and mental rest. But I am ok. or at least I know I will be... im just not the kind of person who handles stress very well. Im used to sunshines, lollipops and rainbows =)
All drama aside. I'm still very thankful for my beautiful family. I look at my kids and the world is a better place. I find comfort in my husbands embrace. and most of all, I am incredibly amazed by my ability to do multiple things at once! I am more awesome than I give my self credit for.

Its been a rough week for me.
I basically got the job Monday (yay- sorta)
Enrolled the kids to school on Tuesday (not sure who cried more, me or my babies)
Started training in West Covina on Wednesday
More training in West Covina Thursday, plus drug test at Irwindale (FAR~BOONIIIESS~!)
And trained at my branch in Torrance today - Friday.
Travis begged every day and night for us NOT to take him to school.
Even though I find him playing and having fun when I pick him up, he says he doesnt like it
Sebastian must not be sleeping well at school because he's been lethargic when we get home.
He also developed a cold yesterday, and I can only hope and pray its nothing serious.
Waking up early (6 or 6:30am depending on where I'll have to drive) is easy.
Getting into the whole routine of things is not.
So even though the boys have the same school/daycare, I take Sebastian and Stan takes Travis.
One kid each to break down the task a bit.
I do feel bad that Stan has the suckier end of the bargain.
Sebastian takes no effort at all to get ready.
Travis...well, we all know the answer to this one= kicking and screaming!
I know it will eventually get easier.
I just miss being a stay home mom ALOT.
good night. and thank gawddd its friday!!!!!!!!!!
