I Love These People...They Own My Heart!

Meet my Parents:

My Mom...She can drive me insane, she is stubborn as heck and set in her ways but she is my Mom and I love her. When I think of my Mom I think love of strength, heart of the family, hard working, devoted and generous. She loves her family so much, with my Mom family comes first and yes there have been many times when we have all wanted to set eachother on fire but we always come back. My immediate family members are like boomerangs, you might want to toss them away for a moment but they will always come back. My Mom has been with me through thick and thin. I certainly challenged her to the core. She is a great Mom and an amazing Grandma (or as my kids call her, Yaya). She loves her grandkids as if she gave birth to them herself and oh are they crazy about her. My Mom is always ready and always willing to help them. Thank you for being so great to my kids and for always showing us that family is always first and foremost.

My Dad...This is the cutest man on the planet, a pure soul and one of my best-friends. My Dad has always quietly tried to make sure that we make the right decision and that hopefully it is the right thing to do. Unfortunetly I do not always listen but I do certainly try my hardest to make him proud of me. My impulsiveness, passion and fierce temper sometimes get the best of me but my Dad is not perfect and understands human fault without passing judgement. My Dad is someone to admire. He is truly a gentle-man and the definition of loyal, honest, trustworthy, kind, and generous. I feel so blessed to have had him around this long and so involved in my life. My Dad has a great big heart that never stops giving and wishing. In casual conversation the other day my sister asked my Dad, Dad if you were granted one wish, what would that wish be? Most of us would probably say things like, "I want to be a gazillionaire" or "I want to rule the world" but not my Dad, without hesitation he simply said, " I would want my Grandaughter to be cured of her disability so that life is not any harder for her then it has to be". Thanks Daddy for always being there for me and I love you!

Meet my Kids:
First off...My children come with a disclaimer kinda like on a kids toy package *My kids are my everything, they are my #1's; I have zero tolerance when it comes to my kids. I feel very sorry for those that are nothing but kind to my kids. I am a Mama bear always protecting my baby cubs at all times. Be very careful or you may get hurt*

My 6 year old boy. My world, the air I breath... I love this boy. He is such a good soul. Smart, friendly, loyal, handsome, ready for anything and always willing to try. I could not have computer generated a more perfect kid. He loves his family, school, animals, sports and Spiderman. And most importantly he is a wonderful big brother.
My Baby Girl, I am in awe of her all the time, she is my heart. She is such a trooper, hard worker, survivor, beautiful, sweet and kind. She loves everything!!! My baby and I work hard and we play hard. I am determined to make sure she has a normal and happy life...ALWAYS!

Baby Mia...My Angel in heaven, we miss you everyday and we love you so much.

George our dog...OMG so cute, the cutest dog that ever lived and so sweet, wonderful with the kids he is just amazing. Our first baby and absolute gift. We love this furry fur ball and we hope to have a thousand more years with him.

My Husband:

Like my kids I am very protective of my husband. Just the other day we were at the movie theater and I was going to let my husband out so that he could go ahead and buy tickets for the new Harry Potter movie so that he could go later in the day with our son. Just as he is about to cross at the pedestrian crosswalk I see a car in my side view mirror speeding through the parking lot way too fast. My husband was unaware of the speeding car so I honked my horn at him and he quickly looked up and got out of the way. He was mad at me for making him jump but it may have just saved his life. I was so mad I followed that car to the nearest gas station while my husband was inside and unaware of what was going on as he was busy buying the movie tickets. So I pulled up to the car and as the driver got out I told him, " you know you almost hit my husband back there", the drivers response, "yeah and he should have been looking where he was going", so I yell, "he was you dick, you were just driving way too fast and almost killed my husband", he has the nerve to say, "is that how you speak in front of your children" and I said, "slow down asshole before you kill someone" and I drove off. I was so mad I was seeing red, my blood was boiling and had I not had my kids in the car I may have gotten out and kicked his ass. My husband is my right hand, my better half, my soulmate and best friend. We have been to hell and back together and we just keep buckling that buckle a little bit tighter and off we go on to our next adventure together. My husband is pure sweet, there must be maple syrup that runs through this man's veins. So kind, a wonderful husband and father, strong, hardworking and loyal. He also has a funnyside when it is off the cuff. God love him he is a long winded story teller actually you know what he is just an all around bad story teller but if that's all I have to complain about, come on I will take that. My ultimate dolce far niente moments are with my husband, at home with the kids just hangin out. I don't need Italy and I don't need France to get that dolce far niente I am looking for, I just need him, I love this man with all my being.


My Siblings:

Ernie, my brother and Godfather to my son. Bib is a complex guy with lots of dimensions, always trying to find himself, always reinventing himself to become the best person he can, he works so hard and is ultimately going to become a great success. Bib is a terrific human being...kind, passionate, determined and hard working. Growing up he and I were very close and remain that way. We don't communicate as much as I would like but I appreciate that he is a busy guy and hard at work. Bib has always looked out for me and I for him. He is awesome, I love him dearly and miss him tremendously. Keep on keeping on.

Christopher, my brother and Godfather to my daughter. Kik in one word is HILARIOUS and loads of fun to have around. Kik like Ernie is a complicated guy with a fierce temper and passion and drive for success. At the root of this fantastic guy is a wonderful, thoughtful and sensitive soul that wants the best for those he loves most but is sometimes misunderstood. Kik and I understand eachother very well and for the most part always have. I know he will find exactly what he is looking for in life and there will be no stopping that train. He is amazing and I love him.

My sister Daniela better known as theniele or the baby and Godmother to my son. Daniela has just completed a masters program and is teaching in Maryland. This beautiful kindergarten teacher with a gift for teaching young children is smart, driven, loving and giving and make no mistake my sister might be the baby and is probably a bit more soft spoken then her siblings but she wants to be heard. For the most part I feel like I know my sister very well but my sister like a butterfly is still in metamorphasis. She is still asking herself lots of questions, observing life and probably a little unsure of the future which is probably scary for her. My sister and I don't always see eye-to-eye, we definetly agree to disagree but she knows she can always come to me but in true theniele form she is usually disguised as a hermit crab living in her little space and keeping it all in. Make no mistake about it I love my sister and I want only the best for her and what makes her truly happy, whatever that is.
