The Cali Life

Okay, I'm back on my blog...

I am now somewhat settled in to life in Cali. Here are the things I like so far:
  1. The weather is really nice and there is no humidity. We've been in the 70's during the day and maybe the 50's at night. No heater or a/c necessary for now. I've been told that the summers get a lot warmer here.
  2. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous. I see hills right outside my window. We live in the mountains so there are hills and valleys everywhere. I love driving down the street.
  3. My husband's job is less than 10 minutes away and it's less stressful than his last position which means we see him more and he's in a better mood when he gets home.
  4. My husband has a few cousins here that we'll get to know better, including a 2 day old baby boy.

What I don't like:

  1. The cost of living. Gas is about $3.35/gallon. Food is more expensive, housing is more expensive, parking is more expensive. The only thing they don't have around here are toll roads; but if they did, I'm sure it would be more expensive too.
  2. The white women here are so extremely rude. I almost had to knock one of them down in Target yesterday.
  3. I'm way too far away from family and friends.

It seems that our stay here will be nice. There are plenty of things to do. San Francisco is about 40 minutes away. LA is only a 5 hour drive south. I'm enjoying being a stay-at-home mom to my two babies. That's another story in itself.

I'm committing myself to blogging a minimum of once a week but my goal is to blog much more than that.

Until the next time...

Bridgett you are not suppose to have more likes than dislikes. Stay focused. The goal is to return to Houston. Seriously, I'm glad the transition is going well for you.

Motherhood

Yesterday, I had something to do so the kids went to their old sitter's house for a few hours. We got home later than intended so I knew I would be rushing to prepare dinner, get them bathed, and settled for the night. Here's what really happened. As soon as we entered the house, Brayden started running around saying "Mommy, I have to pee". So we rush into the bathroom and as soon as his pants are unbuttoned, he starts peeing on himself. I clean him up and decide they can play in the tub while I start preparing dinner. As soon as we get to the kitchen, Danica throws up all over me, herself, and the floor. So, I take her to our bathroom and bathe her. Before I can get her pj's buttoned up, Brayden starts screaming "I have to pee!" Because he just went all over the bathroom floor, I'm a little perplexed. I run to their bathroom anyway only to find out he didn't have to pee, he had to poop and had already dropped two bombs in the bathtub where his s...

In Memory...

Staff Sergeant Javares Washington was killed in Kuwait. He was my cousin. My cousin died yesterday...in Kuwait...and I'm so very sad. I feel like I can't breathe. My heart is broken. We grew up like siblings. His mom had him at a very young age. She wasn't ready to take care of him. So, he lived with us for years. He was like my brother. And now, I'm in shock. I'm going to miss him so much. The military has only said he was in a government vehicle on patrol and it flipped over. We don't know what caused the flip or anything. I want to go home. He was married and had two children. His son, Jayden, is 6 years old and looks just like him. His daughter, Tristin, is 9 months old. My heart is broken.

Love at First Sight

I am absolutely in love with this little girl. Danica was born with a heart murmur but we found out today it's no longer there. We are so happy with this little perfect being and can't wait to get to know her more.
