News and more news!

Okey so I am back to reality and with many many news:

I am going to be an aunt again...si nenas finally you guys would have a cousin in your own age group yeppy yeppy.

We are moving again nenas not sure where but again in the run so in other words Baton Rouge Salam (I think Target thinks that because baba is arab he is a bedouin moving from place to place)

Baba would be gone for the next couple of weeks he would most likely be coming and going.

New House that I got to design but never lived there(this makes me a little sad and blue but oh well)

The not knowing where our home would be till about 2 weeks is driving me a bit crazy poor nails don't have much left of them.

So Samia this is an update about you....lately when we are out and about specially stores when you don't get your way you start screaming and even throwing your self in the floor in my spanish way this is called MALCRIADA CULICAGADA american way we will call this temper tamtrum. Many things arise when you do this I get people staring at me I get embarrass I think they are thinking I am trying to kidnapp you and the worst part I start sweating like I just finish running a marathon. SO I have tried talking, bribing and nothing works and I even had the idea of telling you I was going to spank you with la chancla. Your response - La chancla en la casa (The chancla is at home)...

Abuela came to the rescue I call abuela almost crying from the car and told her the show you had just made in the store and your response so her advice next time you come out of your house you show her that the chancla is in your bag. So needless to say now not only I carry pampers, wipes, cream but also mami magic wand the CHANCLA. So if you guys see a crazy lady pulling a chancla out of her purse when she is checking out that is ME. Will update on how this is goign to work next time Samia decides to act up. Hard to believe this nice girl.

Ummm I smell a Modern Greek Tradegy / Con mas Elashry

I have being meaning to write about Madoff...his story has me puzzle how in the world in the age of the technology a man can cheat (no I can not use cheat it has to be steal) thousands and thousands of people their money....this man is like a diseases it does not have boundaries he was able to affect the rich and poor. It baffles me how for decades he was taking and taking the money and falsifying his SO call brokerage statements.

Well nenas I will not go into much detail with this, I just wanted to let you know that when you two were little girls wearing pampers and pull ups one of the biggest white collar schemes of the 21st century was being discover.

Most likely you will read this in your economic or finance classes in your college years. Wow this could be part history book (okey mami hold your horses you are being creative there).

Also as all of these is going on Israel still bombing what is left of Gaza...hopefully another Peace treaty can be reach and this war would finish fast fast fast.. Inshallah soon the children of Gaza can be children chasing soccer balls and not running away from bullets.

In Colombia the FARC still throwing it is bombs whenever they get a chance, now the government is trying to convince the guerrilla that if it releases all of the kidnaps they would give them impunity.

Okey and since there is always a brighter side to life how about looking at Gamila's Nalgas (sorry milo you are going to choke me when you get big and see how I exposed your nalgas to the lens)

This picture has a story...Gamila you are 14 months and starting to manipulate your mami (that is because you have not being introduce to my chancla) so every time I say NO or you don't get your way...you throw yourself in the floor like this and freeze, you only open your eyes and look around to see if anybody is going to give into those beautiful eyes...

Samia and for you here is a list of your vocabulary at 34 months:

• I love you mami
• You are beautiful
• Espera Espera
• Oh Man (and I am fighting you apparently swiper from Dora says it and you think it is allow at Elashry Casa)
• Maybe for everything
• Unbelievable
  
• Is not fair
• Is Good

This words and phrases are repeated in the most awkward situations..oh and your famous one here it goes:

Let me describe the moment..having breakfast I ask you to pass me a cracker, you give me the cracker

Mami "Thank you Samia"

Samia "NO thank you Mami"

Mami "NO thank you Samia"

Samia "NO NO Thank you Mami"

I know it can be annoying but the truth is I LOVE IT!!!!!

Today mami went out with the moms from the mami group it was nice being around a bunch of girls that had taken off their aprons and their mommy labels for at least 3 hours...is funny how in these reunions 95% of our conversations is about our children here are a few quotes from the night (I am not going to say names so I will just use nicknames)

• Pipo had a little hard on
• Papo got the breast pump and use it as a trumpet
• Mima wants to taste breast milk after mommy finishes breastfeeding her little sibling
• Moma loves to see her poppy in the toilet

(just wanted to let my readers know the nicks are mainly used by cuban families for uncles, aunts etc., is funny you will find in the same house a pipo and a papo)

And the stories go and go on...10 years ago I will never imagine myself listening to this comments and the best part relating to them....wow that makes me think that in another 10 years I will be listening to other kind of comments that are going to include GIRLY DRAMA BOYS AND FRIENDS...well for now I will not torture myself about it.
