Friends

Today I was thinking about friends and how extremely lucky I am to have such good friends in my life. I have never 'lost' a friend. (Other than my friend Blanca from Elementary school... and we didn't get into an argument, I moved and we didn't stay in touch. Where was facebook then?! )

Sure people change, move... or their priorities change and we grow apart. That's gonna happen every now and then, but we always remain friends. Whether we talk/text/email regularly or if I see them once a year. Even those that I see less than that - when I see them in the store we hug and swap stories about our lives and promise to chat on facebook.... and then we do. It's great. I love it.

I often hear about others getting into fights and arguments with their friends and that is so sad to me, but I will never completely understand that. It's never happened to me. I have never experienced the explosion of a best friend feud. Or a fight that would cause me to "un friend" someone on facebook let alone in real life.

My bestest best friends have always been my siblings and cousins though, that might play a serious part in my inability to make my friends hate me. haha. Those closest to me can't hate me, we are related! lol. But even all my non-family friends are still in my life. I love everyone of them and feel so blessed to be surrounded by such amazing people.


I am pretty awesome though. If I wasn't me, I'd want to be friends with me. :)

Silly Sayings

My kids say the most hilarious things. I laugh and laugh... sometimes text it to a couple family members or do a quick facebook post and then forget about it. BUT, I want to start keeping these silly sayings and funny moments to relive again, and again... and again! :) So I am going to blog them. That way when my computers crash (3 in 5 years) I can still have the memories stored away online (unlike my notes, moments and memories from Quinn and Marley's first years of life! Yeah, total bummer.)

I am going to start with two of today's laugh out loud moments:

Me: Marley it's time to get ready for bed.
Marley: Mom, I don't understand you. I only speak spanish.
Me: lol. Thank you Dora.

Quinn was taking the garbage out during chore time, and he went to throw the garbage bag over the balcony into the open garbage can down below, but he missed then said: "Ohh, man... fail!" lol.

I love it!! :)
