coming back

I am so sorry for being away so long... but it's okey I guess not many people are interested in reading my blog... I guess I use this as a stress relief.
Well, life it's going a little better... Still difficult, but somewhat better.
A friend of my husband rented his 3/2 house to us, we are much more comfortable paying basically the same we were paying in the smaller apartment. We also have a temporary roomate, only untill January, but it's helping us tremendously with almost half of the rent.
We are much better as a couple, things are getting along, still have our fights but with much more tolerance for one another... so I guess that part it's better.
My children are adorable, beautiful, intellegent, very active, playful. They now play together most of the time, is so cute to see them running around the house; even though it drives me crazy, the screaming and all, it's pretty nice to see them together like that.
The baby is now 14 months old... he's been walking two weeks prior to turning one. talks about 8 words and understands a whole lot more. Loves to makes us laugh, so whatever it is that he notices I laughed about, he'll repeat it over and over... even if it was biting me :(
he says uh-uh instead of no.... so his answer to everything is uh-uh, and now he is grabing my flipflops, tries to hit his brother's hands with pao pao, it's hilarious but we try not to let him see us. He makes the cutest faces and has a dimple on one side of his cheek which makes his smiles much more adorable. He also has his temper... very defined I shall say; it's what he wants when he wants it or he'll throw a temper tamtrum.
The kid is three years old, very smart, very clever... he knows all his letters and sounds, numbers up to 20 in english & spanish. I am trying to introduce French as well, I did played a couple of french dvd's for children and he loved them, but since we moved I haven't being able to go to the library. I'll try next week... it'll start by locating one.
About myself, I'm still looking for employment. I did take the Florida Certification exam to be a certified educator from preschool to third grade. I needed 200 to pass... got 195. The next exam is on January, so I guess I'll take it again. I also thouht about my mother in law who got a family day care license... is currently taking care of about 8 children @ $125 more or less... it's more than $900 weekly, pretty good... But as much as I like to be in the house, this is very slavery like... I mean I HAVE to be home from 6 or 7am untill 5 or 6pm when they pick up the kids... this Library trips/ walking trips/ or just droping off my children at the grandmothers just to take a breathe won't be happening... so I'm still thinking about what happens. It will be in January when we'll see... I'll take the exam again, and also the room we have rented will be free to make sort of a playroom. I'm not sure, let's see what happens.
Hope to write more often... a lot of interesting things from the past happening, like finding high school friends and high school sweetheart through facebook... very exciting.

Nice to see your return. I think we all need some good blogging breaks to recharge! And ugh re: your financial stresses...we're right there with you.
