1. I don't like my first name on a daily basis.
2. My favorite color is purple.
3.My favorite flavor of ANYTHING is the red flavor.
4. I don't really like refried beans.
5. I love white roses, because my dad would get me a white rose on Valentines day... but they are not my favorite flower.
6. Oriental lilies are my favorite flower.
7. I love the internet because I can look up anything on a whim. Like the meaning of giving someone white roses...
8. I don't like letting my twin boys cry when they want to be held, I have to pick them up and cuddle them...
9. I have recently learned what a best friend is, and have released the hurt that I harvested for years because I never felt I had a best friend.
10. It is very easy for me to truly forgive a person that wronged me.
11. I have a very good memory for faces and names.
12. I am still scared of the dark.
13. ....and roaches.
14. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain.
15. My oldest son is sleeping to a lullaby station on Pandora satellite radio in the bedroom with my husband while I hold my youngest on a generic Boppy pillow.
16. I always have dry hands because I hate the smell of most lotions.
17. Lots of scents give me migraines, so I don't wear perfume, I don't use aerosol cans for my house, and I am extremely picky about things like body wash and laundry detergent.
18. I make sure I learn something(s) from EVERYONE that I meet.
19. I was a depressed teenager, but I got through it by remembering that I can start over in a better mood or attitude every second. Also remembering that every morning is a new beginning.[I try to teach my husband that, and I hope I can teach my children that]
20. I really miss my family. [dad, mom, 3 brothers and my only sister]
21. I almost didn't want anything to do with my older brother at one point. Then I let him live with me and I learned that my image of him was very wrong. Now I am proud of him, and proud to be his sister.
22. One of the few things I disagree with that I learned at church is that pride is sinful. Maybe I need someone to interpret it differently to me but I don't think it's wrong to be proud of my husband, proud to be his wife, proud of my parents and to be a Balderas, proud of my siblings accomplishments and my own, and proud to be a good housekeeper and so on with all the things I am proud of in my life....
23. I am scared to death of the day my husband has a real asthma attack. I thought the day was last night when he woke me up gasping my name because his back was hurting very badly.
24. I have been told that I give VERY good back and neck massages.
25. I am not very good at basic math, like addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, but I rock when it comes to algebra.

Lemon Bars
I have been craving sweets lately but lack the money to run to the store for something. So I started through my cupboards and discovered a box of lemon bars! I loooooove lemon bars. Homemade are much more delicious then boxed but it will have to do. Also, I don't have any powdered sugar to top them with, but perhaps it's for the best, seeing as I really should not indulge myself in the sweets in the first place and the less sugar the better, ha ha ha!
Well, it also seems I have begun to treat my blog as my old journals, as I feared, procrastinating an entry for days. This week has been a bit stressful. On top of some personal issues that surfaced, it seems Andrew and I have met a financial pothole. We needed to make a huge final payment on the car it seems we were obligated to buy and it took up most of his recent paycheck. We were able to receive some help from relatives [that needs to be paid back ASAP] so that we could keep some money for groceries. We had to postpone paying important bills for the first time ever, it makes us feel terrible. We have always prided ourselves with the fact that we always paid our bills early or on time. Now this paycheck, our bills alone add up to $50 more than his check will be. That leaves no money for groceries or other household items that have run low. Currently, I have nothing to clean everyday messes with, I usually use clorox wipes or a paper towel with clorox spray. I have resorted to using the dish washing sponge, which I personally find gross. We also need some things for the medicine cabinet. Our cupboards are pretty bare. Since I decided to buy less food items last week so I would use up the items that have been just sitting around for a few months. We have $20 for gas left this paycheck. I am trying really hard not to show Andrew how stressed I am, But it's hard because he is not trying to hide his concern. I hate seeing him so stressed, he looks especially tired when he is. I keep telling him not to worry, but I can't think of anything to help our situation. Really all we need is to find a bill or two to postpone a little longer so we can buy groceries this week. We are just waiting for his last w2 to come in the mail so we can pay off two major financial hangnails. Hopefully it will come in soon so we can start buying baby stuff. We still have two car seats and a double stroller to buy. I used to think that the stroller was a luxury but the more I think about my daily life the more I think of it as a necessity. It will basically be how I will transport my little loved ones together, ha ha ha! stick the car seats in there and roll!
Well, lately my posts have been more journal then house tips so I need to much on a lemon bar or two and think of something to write about.... More in a bit.
