Oops, forgot to blog

So yeh, this is what usually happens at the end of a long streak of blogging. I stop. You heard it here first.

I had a job up until December 31. Now I'm a stay at home mom again. I was a stay at home mom for 4 years after I had my twins. I did kinda miss it but now I can say that I'm kinda bored only after 2 days. Seriously, you can only sweep, clean toilets and wash clothes so many times in a day. What do you think?

Anyway, today I hung out with my Mama and it was a good day. She is leaving me on Thursday to go back home after being on holiday for a month. I will surely miss her. I don't want her to leave!

WAH!!!

Soul Food: Reverb10

Prompt: Soul food. What did you eat this year that you will never forget? What went into your mouth & touched your soul?

My Mama made mole for me the first week she was here. OMIGOSH! The flavors, the smell, the warmth... it was an amazing meal! I loved it. It took me back to my childhood. My Mama always made mole and rice. Then one day we asked for mashed potatoes with it to kinda of cool down the mole sauce. A tradition was born. So that day, my Mama made mole, rice and mashed potatoes for me. We sat and ate and laughed and talked and laughed some more. It was an incredible bonding moment.

For me, mole symbolizes familia, cultura, comida, amor and just being Mexican! It's a dish that is eaten by almost every Mexican I know. I can't forget the times my Mama made us mole for dinner. It was always a very very special meal for us, whether it was for our birthday, a congratulatory dinner or Wednesday...

Healing: Reverb10

December 19 – Healing. What healed you this year? Was it sudden, or a drip-by-drip evolution? How would you like to be healed in 2011? (Author: Leonie Allan)

I haven't healed yet.... I'm still hurt. I am starting to feel better about things though but often times I find that I am still reeling from the feelings of betrayal. My Mama is helping me get through it though. She really is. She has NO idea how great it is to have her here this holiday season. It means the world to me. She will be my healing...

Ohhh Mama!

My mom is here. You will learn that my Mom is my queen. She is my hero.

The Muth flew in yesterday and we spent the whole day together, drinking coffee and laughing and talking and catching up. It's so great just to spend time with her. I can't imagine my life without her.... love that lady!
