Asi es la vida-Such is life

What a week, what a busy week! Alexis and I have been looking for her prom dress and we found it! Through a connection my dad has at his church, we found it. It was nice because they were able to measure her and get her a dress that fits her just perfect. Women in our family tend to have big boobs so it makes it hard to find dresses that fit right. Finding a place that was able to measure her was perfect! Her dress came in within a week and now it's just getting hemmed cause not only are we chichudas but we are short too. See, in order for a dress to look right on a short woman, it needs to be at the correct length. Those that are short can relate.

This was also the first week of living with my dad. It's been interesting but not too bad. I realize that we don't spend a lot of time at home so I think this is a good thing. I am one that has difficulties living with others especially having to share a room with Paula. According to her, I hog the bed and put my butt on her. According to me, she's a grumpy roommate with stinky feet. I let you make up your mind about that one. I think we both have some truth to our sides of the stories.

Alexis and Matthew are sharing a room for the first time in their lives. As far as I can tell, they are doing good with the exception of Alexis mentioning that Matthew talks all night long (must be related to Jessica). Mornings are interesting... we must race out of our rooms to brush our teeth and use the potty. Yea, we are learning to move around each other like a synchronized team moving towards the same goal-get out the house in time!

I feel a lot of pressure as I continue to get used to doing things on my own. I still rely on him but am working slowly to detach myself completely. Everything has been a process, one that has gradually helped me accept my new life. I continue to refuse to allow myself to feel sorry for myself because there is no real reason to feel that anyway. Some days I do wake up overwhelmed and with no one to catch me when I fall but I remind myself over and over and over and did I say over again? Yes, over and over that I will make it no matter what. Bills, stress, disappointments and life in general will not discourage me from continuing to look ahead. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe myself but I am also learning to have faith. Wish me luck and continue to pray for me :)
