rain, rain, rain

'rain, rain, stay to play'

i love the cold rainy days.

bye felicia!! (to 2014)

life has been back to normal.

back to the daily routines of every day monday-friday life.

wake up (at the last possible minute for me), get dressed as i hear the girls play like it's saturday morning already, hush them and remind them that we do share walls with neighbors who may not appreciate the banshee cries of their stuffed toys, toast our orange juices and coffee to a good day, zip up, lights out (those dark winter mornings), and lock up.

zoom down the three flights of stairs of our apartment building, with the hurriedness of mrs. clavel, always taking turns to jump off the last step.

believe it or not, this is all done in 30 mins or less.

supermom? i like to think so..

in these first couple january weeks, we've had a couple birthday parties, neighbor gave away a keurig i was happy to take (doesn't work great, but does work enough to do the job), a baby shower in a beautiful hotel room (i love anything in a hotel room. i do enjoy that eloise feeling), and much music listening instead of tv watching (music does let the sillies out more than tv does). i have to say, i am over those kids shows..if we can't agree to watch something together, then music it is!

it's chilly!

the season's officially changed here in vegas. today is actually a nippy day out. and it feels sooo good! now, i won't have to fear the lives of my children taking them to the park, because it being boiling outside. i really hate vegas summer weather. it gets so hot out, i find it hard to breath, even. now, as i step outside, it feels so amazing to take in some fresh crisp and cool air. no more roasting in vehilcles, bad heat moods, sleeping in my own sweat, sweating in general, heat headaches, and staying indoors. as for the colder weather...what's there to complain about?? aside from the obvious (being really really cold), and maybe snow if you live in that..but here, it's so nice. it just feels so clean to me. it also brings back the classical music, the halloween-christmas tunes and movies, the more fashionable clothing (i think), and the delicious oven cooked food: roasts, pies. the colder weather also bring back some of the best memories, especially of my time in london. so many good and cold memories. i love it. i'm happy.
