This should be against the law!

So the ladybug wakes up a 2:00 am last night and start calling: mom, mom, mommmmmm.
I hear her through the monitor but wait a minute or two to see if she goes back to sleep, but nope she doesn't.
I go in her room and my mom is holding her (mom staying with us), but ladybug keeps calling me , so pick her up and take her in my room , if i leave her in her room my mom won't be able to sleep which is not fair!
So i put her in my bed and she is already have way sleep!
Then it begins... She moves, twist and chick! I don't know how something that little can take up that much space!
Well when she is ready to get up at 6:00 am, she touch me and call : mom......I stay still to see if she goes back to sleep , but no , she is ready to get up , so i am tiered, my back is killing me and way to upset cause it's been a longgg night , but then she looks at me with her little angel face and softly said : mom and smiles at me.
Is that the part that should be illegal, you instantly forget why you were even upset and just want to Hugh and kiss the little bug:)

Birthday Party

I know that Birthday parties are a big thing for the little ones , but with today's economy you always need to look for the best options for the prices so you can make it fun but inexpensive.
Make activities that are age appropriate and that would allow everyone to have fun.
I think that the older are the kids the harder it is , but a 2 years old is really not going to be worried about the decoration or what kind of food you have there, so why not keep it simple and fun?
Ladybug's second Birthday is coming soon and i need to start planning her party as the relatives are asking about when and what we are doing.
I am going to be posting different ideas for little ones parties and it would be great to hear about your experiences and tips about what to do or not in a birthday party, so let's plan!

A day off

Back in the old times when i was young and single (about 3 years ago).
My idea of a day off was to sleep till late, meet some of my girlfriends, go visit some of the small towns around Marbella (touristic town in the south of Spain), were i used to live and just walk around and see all the different things in town , find a little local restaurant and have lunch and maybe a tinto de verano ( refreshing and popular drink which is a mix between red wine and orange soda).
Then drive around through all the towns on the way back to Marbella and doing some sight seeing till once in town again and maybe go to the shore and walk around , seat on a caffe and have a coke or an ice crean while talking about all that was going on which everyone of us!
Now days my idea of a day off is to be able to stay in bed till 7:00 am and take a nap in the afternoon.....
And as i am writting , my boss the ladybug is calling, so i guess today is not going to be my day off:)

Working from home

Is there a way to have a working schedule when you work from home and have little ones to take care of?
I keep trying to get myself in to some kind of routine...... Get up early and go to bed late , but it doesn't really work.Basically my schedule is whatever the ladybug decides it would be.
I am sure there is a way to keep some kind of order and get organized to a point that you can have done at leas 50% of whatever you needed done that day. I just haven't found that magic schedule, so if anyone has the answer would PLEASE share it with me?

Moving.....

I really think that moving have to be one of the most annoying things in the whole world , i am not sure if it is cause i had to move about 5 times in 5 years when i was single and living in Spain, i had a dog and was always trying to find a bigger place for her ........Well for whatever reason i don't LIKE MOVING!
And when you move from a bigger place to a smaller one....just forget it , it looks like things are never in the right place , some times i think that clothes, toys and other things of that sort grow over night when you are not looking.
I could swear i had one of this or one of that , how is it possible there is 5 of them now!
You keep saying that you just need to organize things better, maybe pack this there, hide this here....You keep telling yourself that is just because you just move and need to figure out where everything goes even though you have been in the new place for a year!

Do moms ever sleep?

My younger brother just had a baby boy like a month ago and he was complaining cause the baby had them up for two days last week.......I have not sleep a whole night ever since i had my daughter and she is 22 moths!
So i am wondering is sleepless nights part of the deal also or i am just lucky enough that my little ladybug wakes up a few time during the night and is ready to go a 6:00?
The more i think about it , i realize that motherhood is something that you have no idea what all involves, is a constant learning and challenge......I love challenges!

So this is motherhood!

I had no idea this being a mommy deal was so complicated!
I wish babies would come up with instructions of some sort, but nope , i looked every where for the instructions when the nurse handled me my daughter and i promise, there was NONE!
I am still trying to figure out the whole thing but it is not an easy one to learn.
Is like just the other , i was working on my computer when i realized i have not hear my daughter or see her for a couple of minutes and if there is something i have learn, is that is not good when that happens it is Never good.
So i go to my mom:
- Do you see her?
-No, i think she is hiding under the table.
- Oh lord that is definitely not good, wait a second , where is her diaper?
PLEASE tell me those brown spots in the carpet are not.......Never mind, they are:(
