Just preparing

for the next storm.

Back to work II

Well Crate and Barrel has been fun but it's time I need to go back to work full time. So I am going back to my passion, no not nails (I wish) the next best thing working in a Spa. So next week I start my new job at AvantGard Spa I am really excited although I will miss the kids it's what has to be done. My mother in law will help when she can and same with Brandi. I have a great friend Christa who has offered to help with getting Olivia to and from school or hula. Jag will be in a daycare that I feel comfortable right down the street. This whole world will start next week right after the two little ones are done with their strep throat.

Still my babies

Well Everybody has been sick, so Jagger is in my bed and Olivia and Jagger share our room right now so she is in the room and at 2:30 this morning Brandi comes in "mom it sounds like people are walking around upstairs(Nina and Jose are gone), can I sleep with you?" I told her there was no room so she laid down on the floor with a Spongebob blanket and pillow.
All 3 of my babies, I guess it doesn't matter how old they get they still need mom.

She was mad

So this is what the local beach looked like today.
Joey went there with the kids to take a look at mother nature.
The swells were 25 to 30 feet, (it killed me to go to work today and miss all the fun).
It reminded me of what pipeline looked like when we lived in hawaii sets rolling out from far away.
The waves were crashing on the shore and moving boulders on to the pavement.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

locks of love

Well Olivia has been growing her hair since she was born although she has had it cut a few times this time she has been growing it out since August and this time she wanted to donate her hair (after seeing an Oprah episode). So the other day we went to get all 10 1/2 inches cut. This week we will send it off to help a child.

Olivia's hair has been lived in the Hawaiian sun, the dry dessert air of New Mexico, and the warm California sun.


Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis.

Christmas in California

Only in California can we shop the day before Christmas in sandals and have the windows rolled down because it's 60 degrees. Gotta love it!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
Looking forward to the new year.

13 years went by quick

Today was Brandi's last day of high school.
I remember when she was little and she would ask me, "how much longer till I go to school" She couldn't wait to go, of course that all changed. Now she is getting ready to take the next step in her life, life it self. It's so sad to see her grown up, I am very proud of her for being the person that she is, she has so many great qualities, and bad (but who doesn't). Now I get to see her become an adult and see what I have been complaining about all these years, just in time for Olivia to start kindergarten in September and start all over again :)

going up

I know my post have not been the most positive lately, but things are starting to change the roller coaster is starting to go up and I will do everything to keep it up this time. I can deal with a few loops here or there but no more going down on this ride!

scratch the last post

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas this year is to sell my house.
That's it, that's all I want.

Love,
Marci

My wish list

It's always called a wish list because you wish for these things not necessarily need but want/wish. Well this year is defiantly a wish list.
