5 days until we head to Mexico.
Hello everyone, we are starting to get so excited. Only 5 more days until we get to go to Mexico for a little visit. My husband and my in-laws have been asking for 2 months when we were coming down for a visit. I guess they figured that wasn't working, so they got my mother-in-law on the phone to ask me. She suggested we pick a date and choose Easter weekend. I couldn't get the time off work that weekend, so we choose the weekend before Easter. Well that happens to be this one coming up. WOOHOO! Arturo's birthday was yesterday and Victoria and I were talking about calling him to tell him Happy Birthday, and she said she was going to tell him Happy Birthday Papi, Victoria's home! She has no concept of time but is getting really excited to go see everyone, especially her papi. I can't imagine how hard it is for her to not have him around. She loves him so much! We are taking the bus down. I figured it was well worth my sanity to just have someone else do the driving. We leave Friday, the 2nd and come back Sunday the 5th. It's a short visit, but a visit none the less. We are planning to celebate Arturo's b-day with his family while we are there. Though I told him not to expect any presents other than the fact we are coming. It should be a blast and we can hardly wait. VIVA MEXICO!!

This week in almost over.
Wow, this week has really been a busy one. As most of you know, I am back in the work force. I figured I would just start with 10-15 hours a week and really try to keep it there. Well I went to apply at Pizza Warehouse, where 2 of my sisters and 2 of my brothers had worked before me, and for the same owners. Needless to say the Sherman name goes a very long way for that company and I was hired on as an assistant manager. I can't decide if it's the pizza or the hard work that is in my blood that makes me love my job, but I do. I have not had a day off in a week, and am looking forward to being off tomorrow. I have been blessed with a sister-in-law who has been sweet enough to watch my little one's, who are mama's girls, and my wonderful cousin who I will refer to from here on out as my life saver, and my parents, who in my old age i have really come to realize how much i appreciate. I would not be able to work if it wasn't for my family willing and ready to step in to help.
Aside from working a straight week, I have juggled in 2 dentist appointments. While we were there they decided to fill 2 of Ciera's cavities and pull a baby tooth, and crown Victoria's 4, top, front teeth. That was a lot of fun...NOT!. It took 3 of us holding her down while the dentist numbed her teeth and the same 3 to keep her pinned down while the dentist capped her teeth. Needless to say, I don't think that she will ever want to go to the dentist again. Then 2 days later Victoria and Lluvia went in to the doctor for their well child checks and their shots. Then today Ciera and I went to the eye doctors. She needs glasses. So in a week or so, she will be able to see clearly again.
I am so glad to be back here in Farmington. I have missed having my family close to me. It's been so fun to be able to see everyone and to have my kids get to know so many more people who love them. Like I always say, you can never have too many people love you, and that goes double for kids.

Finally
I have been meaning to do this forever, but never felt like I had the time. Truth is I thought it would be a little more difficult then it was.
Just to update everyone, The girls and I are living in New Mexico with my parents. Ciera is going to school and is enjoying it. She has really come a long way with her reading. She has found how fun it can be. Victoria is busy being 2, and teaching Grandpa and Grandma some new words in Spanish. She has learned so much english in the last 2 months. Lluvia is 7 months old already. She has done great with the transition of me going back to work. She is trying to walk already. She isn't trying to crawl yet, but as quickly as she is advancing it should be soon. I am back in the work force after 3 years and really like my job.
Arturo is still in Mexico living with his brother and sister-in-law. We hope to apply for a visa soon, and get him up here. I hate that we are seperated, and still will be for months.
Matt, Chelsea, and Mason are still living in Kansas. I hope they can come out this summer. More court stuff is going to be involved in that. They are doing great out there. Matt is growing to be a young man already. Chelsea is trying out for the drill team, and gets her braces off in the next few months. Mason has been chosen to recieve a full paid scholarship for an esteemed music school in Kansas City for his chello playing. I am proud of the progress everyone is making.
