Has it really been that long since I blogged!

Being a Mother, I love being a mother altho I have never considered my self a typical mom. I stayed at home and didn't work the first 20 years of my marriage . I know how to sew cook and chochet and I can also clean (its just hard for me) . I love to entertain . I love the crafty stuff we do in Relief Society when we have those kinds of activities. So I guess its the emotional thing that I'm non traditional about . The lovey dovy part . I love my kids but I really never played games with them other than to teach them how . I didn't play blocks or anything like that and if they were hurt than I kisses it better or they went to Martha and she sang it better for them . It was Papi who always is the one who deals with emotions ,Not that I don't cry and things like that its just I'm a red personality and so its more of an attitude of get on with it . So why is it that when they have a need they call me. I love this but it has perplexed me for many years. Money ask Mamita, courage ask Mamita . Discouraged ask Mamita. As a mater of fact If they call on the phone and need to get permission to stay late or some other thing even if Papi answers than they ask for me ,he is the parent too!So my point being when in church people talk about the mother the great nurturer I worry. Even in the family a proclamation Its the roll of the mother to nurture ...yikes! I think my kids have turned out really good and I get complements often about their behavior . But would they have been better people had their mother been more ...nice?
Now in other news I have pics of Lucia in the play Legend of Sleepy Hallow and of the uea visit with everyone and none of Seth opening his call because the camea was lost! but now its found.











Have a happy Halloween Everyone
