Hale o Heidi

Lived on the islands and never ever had allergies and never allergic to anything! Now This is my 12th year of Hay Fever in California. I hate it! My nose drips contantly! I go through tissue after tissue. Nose gets sore and dry. Contant blowing and sneezing! Its totally disgusting!!! Whats worst is today I was sitting next to my daughter Marla and I covered my nose and mouth but it went out the side and right on her face!! I was embarressed!! I totallly apologized!! THIS SUCKS!! I just want to vacume my nose and get all the mucus out!!! That is not the end of it!! I get red eyes like I am on drugs!! Even my eyes are small!! They get itchy and I sometimes feel like I just want to claw them out!!

This is going to be depressing…

Christmas Eve, i found out my uncle had a stroke and is paralized on his whole right side. He is very young! He is only 45 years old! I am praying hard for him. My grandma called my cell phone and i told my cousin Maile and she talked to her. It was really hard to deal with. My cousin and I kept our spirits up for the kids sake. We were at my Brother-in-laws house next door for a Christmas party. It was great! It was the first time we had Christmas Eve there. 12 o’clock midnite, all 50 kids opened their gifts at the same time. It was krazy!
The next day, my children opened their gifts from Santa. They all loved their gifts. Marlon got a engine for his 66 mustang. I got shopping money!!
I cooked all day for Christmas dinner. Everyone enjoyed their food! I was very happy about it!
New years eve was great also! Greg and Maile rode with us to Marilyn’s house. The guys got drunk. Marlon was very sweet. He sang and danced with me the whole night. It was a beautiful way to start the new 2005!!
God bless everyone. Prayers are with everyone and especially my Uncle Yancy.

Today all I keep thinking about is the holidays. The holidays and bills. And how much money the holidays cost me every year.
So, I decided to do something about it. I actually went around the neighbor hood and sold some of my famous Holiday Crunch. I sold a few! Its not much but anything helps. I always get nervous about the holidays and always trying hard not to get into dept.
I am almost done with my whole christmas shopping for the family! I only have a few more people to shop for then I can focus on my kids. Its quite amazing how I got it almost all done! Especially considering how large the family is!!
I am looking forward to this Thanksgiving weekend!
My children only have 2 days of school this week and my husband only works 3 nights! Its wonderful that I can spend alot of time with them! Another big hit is that my cousin and her family are all moving up here on Thursday. Which is Thanksgiving day. On Friday, my husband and I are going to put up the Christmas lights up and all over the house. We do tend to go a little (okay… we go all out) for Christmas with the lights. My husband and I love Christmas. Its funny too! It seems like we are always competeing against my sister in law next door on who got the most lights up and who’s is better! Its all fun! We laugh with them when we are putting up the Christmas lights.
On Saturday, if weather permits, we are all going to drive up to Placerville and play in the snow and chop down our tree. We are all excited.

boy oh boy… didnt i ask for it!!! when we first moved in this house, there was no family around. for 3 years of loneliness. then one of my brother in laws and then another moved right next door. then… my sister in law moved closer to me. she used to live an hour away!! then one of my good friends moved closer. and now…… my cousin!! her and her whole ohana are moving up closer!! all the way from fresno!! my cousin in law greg, he got a good job here in the area! now they all moving here!! its totally awesome!! its like my own lil community! i have all the people i love moving closer! lol!! almost all the people! lol…
My cousin, her husband and 2 kids, and greg’s sister and family all moving up here! Now i should be worried!!! (am i gonna have a single day being sober?!?!) lmao!! nah… only sober during the week! ha ha ha!!
Its totally awesome!!

updating the weblog.

last weekend marlon and i took the kids to disneyland for the first time. it was a one day thing there. we arrived on friday and let the kids go swimming! we even got to let the kids go night time swimming. then on saturday we woke up early to go to disneyland. the kids liked it although marla was a bit scared to go on some of the rides…. knowing marla and how sensitive she is. madeline on the other hand was ready to go!!! she went on everything! jason was a bit scared too but he did okay. we stayed there til closing and even got to watch the fireworks! we saw tinkerbell going across the castle! it was pretty kewl!

when we got back to the hotel the kids were pretty beat. the next morning we left early. by the time we got home, we were so tired, that i just felt like collappsing. (cant spell the word)

we drove to berkeley and there was alot of police all over the place today! in the news people are protesting this war!! all over the place! i find it wierd that people would actually stick their arms in a metal tube and have the police saw them off!!! not their arms though! but what got me thinking is this… do these people actually think that because they are protesting that the president will actually say.. okay.. i’ll stop! I… DONT …THINK …SO!!! they have to finish what they started! they cant just walk away now! so why waste your time and our taxes on your stupid protesting when the war has already started!!

really i did! saw it half way out of the clouds! the clouds were so dark here and i swear it was a tornado! that was yesterday! and i read the newspapers today and said nothing about it! could i be seeing things?!?!
although in the todays newspaper there was an article and pic on the front page about the really big hail storm in my town! there was alot of accidents and things like that!! and guess what? i didnt see a thing! not even a drop of hail yesterday!
