PRETENDING IT'S MONDAY

FEELING LOST

PICKING UP AFTER ALONSO

THANK YOU SANDRA

 We are unpredictable. We never know how we are really going to react, at least

that is true for me. Before Pepe left I found myself talking with my customers at

work about our plans and I sounded so confident. Now I avoid the subject. When I

got home I pretended it was Monday, the only day he closed at Red Lobster and

came home late. Mondays, I remember him droping his key in the little white

table in the foyer and saying how busy his day had been as he went up the stairs.

I will miss those Mondays...

 

While I looked in my pantry for something for dinner, Alonso, now 18 months,  is

working hard at bringing every toy from his bedroom...EVERYTHING...after all, it's

not everyday "Yaya" is out of it !!! As I cooked, I peeked at the living room...he

was hard at work, but I didn't even flinch, I needed to finish my dinner creation.

I even encouraged him to make more of a mess by giving him pots, pans, spoons,

tupperware and an empty 1 gallon milk bottle. By the time I was done, it was

CHAOS  !!! I asked myself ...." who ARE you? " Then,  I started picking up trucks,

cars, fire engines, shoes, tupperware, books, balls, pots, pans, spoons, building blocks, his

Elmo chair and stuffed animaSl. Oh, yeah... and the empty 1 gallon milk bottle !!!

 

When Sandra came home from work at 10:30 PM, Alonso was sleeping. After

dinner I started once again with a migraine. I took my Relpax and promethazine,

and we canceled our plans of  watching the movie 2012 until the next day.  I

got in bed feeling terrible for not spending some time with Sandra, she is also

missing her dad so much and worried about me too. As I drifted into my sleep I 

thought about my empty bed... then I heard steps and  Sandra whispered ..."Mom,

is it OK if I sleep with you ? " I managed an "of course!" then she added " can

I bring the baby too?"  I smiled probably drooling and said " yes...bring him too

it would be nice". In a minute I felt her putting the baby next to me and her

getting next to him. I drifted away happily.

 

   

zzzzzz....   z z z z z z z z z z....    z z z z z z z z z ...  

 

  

 

     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enchiladas Deprimidas or Depressed Enchiladas

INGREDIENTS: 1 bag of corn tortillas, leave the bag open 3 or 4 days until they don't look right / 1 small

can of refried beans or whatever / 1 out date can of enchilada sauce / dig around for any cheese... I had

"queso fresco" that didn't look that "fresco", cheddar and mozarrella ( very Mexican..ha !) / 1 plantain...I

found it while searching for onions...it was nice and ripe... really ripe...slice it and fry it / fry a sliced onion

afterwards / left over salsa and wilted cilantro.

OK now ...you have to cook this after you come home from work and remember you are depressed, so

don't take a shower and stay in your work clothes.

Take the rippled tortillas and put them in enchilada sauce then make layers !!!!! ANYWAY YOU FEEL LIKE

IT !!!!

BAKE IT ... WHO CARES WHAT TEMPERATURE... AS LONG AS THE CHEESE MELTS....

and BAAAAAMMMMMMMMM!!!!!! YUMM !!!!!!!!!!!

BODY PROBLEMS....

I can't seem to fix the problem with the body of my blog. So, I have decided to post the

 photo of the "ENCHILADAS DEPRIMIDAS" .

NO... I AM NOT LOOSING MY MIND....THE POST TITLED "LALALLA" IS ME JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY MY LAST POST'S BODY WAS NOT
RIGHT ..... I THINK ... I GOT IT NOW !!!!

THE PHONE CALL FROM ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.

NICE TO HEAR HIS VOICE

ANOTHER MIGRAINE

GETTING THROUGH THE DAY...

 

Just as I woke up the phone rang. It was 7:30 AM here, 1:30 PM in Madrid. It was Pepe

to let me know he was well and at Mayra's house already. I could hear my daughter in the

background asking Alberto to finish the fish sticks he had for lunch. Gabriel, who will be

7 months tomorrow, was babbling and cooing as we asked each other how we were....

How were we really ? All I know is we both  have a daughter to be with, and our grandkids

to keep us smiling. He will start working Wednesday with my sister as planned.

I tried getting up from bed, and going to my job. I have been with Ingles Markets 10

years. Video manager.... one of those "it pays the bills" jobs... only thing I like about it is

I deal with movies, and I LOVE movies. However, the migraine was there. However, with

another migraine I called my clerk, Peggy, to open the department for me. I went later on the day..

stayed a few hours and left early...

To get through the day I took a nap. Then Sandra went to work and I took care of Alonso. He

kept me busy, busy. Changing his diapers I wondered how many had I changed in my lifetime.

Hmmm...... three kids of my own.... three grandkids.....I could probably fill my house will all the 

diapers I have changed !!!! Then I experimented in the kitchen. It's Friday and we are in Lent,

so I needed to prepare something without meat. Look ed around took what I had in hand and ended

with a crazy dish.... I called it " Enchiladas Deprimidas" or "Depressed Enchiladas". By the way,

food in Spain is very different from Mexican food. I will be posting some of my favorite dishes from

Spain soon.

Sandra just got home and brought the perfect movie.... so uplifting.....2012 !!!!!!

I can stay, I can cancel all the plans if you ask me to.

HEADACHES AND TEARS

LAST MINUTE SHOPPING

 THE GOODBYE

  

We woke up to a cold and very windy day. As I had my coffee I cried. Just a bit. Then Pepe would cry just a bit. Pepe and I kept as busy as we could finishing packing the suitcase, running  to Ingles Market to buy last minute treats for Mayra, Raul and our grandkids and since I had a headache and didn't feel like making anything at home for lunch we went to the Chinese restaurant next to the supermarket and talked about our plans.

 After stuffing what we bought in the bags, Pepe took a shower and I heard him cry. Then, I cried again. This reminded me of one of my favorite movies, Something's Gotta Give, when Diane Keaton is crying after Jack Nicholson leaves her and so she  cries and stops, then cries again, on and off. Well, we ran out tissues, napkins, toilet paper and kitchen towels . . .

At the airport I remembered my husband’s words..." I can stay, I can cancel all the plans if you ask me to”, and I felt the urge to say “yes, stay....stay... “Instead I just said “I’ll see you in June as planned, start looking for somewhere nice to live with plenty of trees. OK ? “Then more kisses, more hugs.....more tears as he left to check in. When I checked his flight later on that night he was right in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean....I am praying he has a good flight.

Trying to make the best of this day...

I have to stay positive.

I don't want a migraine today.

I have to stay focused on seeing him in June.

Today is my last day of life as I have known it for the last 9 years at our home.

Home will not be the same, I won't hear him drop his keys on the little white table in the foyer.

I have to stay positive.

I have to stay focused on seeing him in June.

I got a migraine.

HEADING TO THE AIRPORT

It's 9:30 AM. Around 2:30 PM we will be heading to ATL airport. I have a slight  headache..

wonder why...Certainly didn't get much rest last night either. Alonso, my grandson is teething and

woke up a couple of times. He ended up in bed with us. Don't ask me how, but he stomped my face

with his little feet about 10 times. He was only trying to tell me he wanted a bottle ! Well, I have to

go... tonight I will post again IF I can get myself out of my tear puddle ....

THIS IS PEPE. HIS REAL NAME IS JOSE MIGUEL. THIS IS WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE WHEN

HE IS THINKING ABOUT BEING AWAY FROM ME !!!

How does this work???

 

HELP !!!!!!!!! Pepe is at Walmart buying another suitcase, and I am keeping busy at this.

How does this work??? AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHH ...I am at "quick compose" and getting

quickly decomposed nerves. I am almost fifty years old but I will get the hang of this.

I promise. (This I said while hangingon to an old radish I found in the fridge...

like in Gone in the Wind... hehehehe )

ONCE AGAIN... A HUGE CHANGE IN MY LIFE.

FEBRUARY 25, 2010

ONCE AGAIN

A HUGE CHANGE IN MY LIFE

I AM ANXIOUS

HE IS LEAVING... I AM STAYING

 

Early this morning I decided to do something different.

Something I had never done before.

Something very daring for me.

Something to keep my mind busy

until our plan, our goal is achieved.

Until we meet in Spain to live our life together again.

I STARTED THIS BLOG.

My husband, Pepe, will leave tomorrow, in our regular Delta flight 109. The one we always

take when we visit our family in Spain. The plan is for me to stay here in Georgia until our

youngest daughter, Sandra,graduates from college. Then, I will put our house for rent, and

go back to live in Spain with my husband, and close to all my beautiful, crazy, loud, fun

loving relatives.

HOW WILL OUR PLANS TURN OUT?

ONLY TIME WILL TELL...

WEEKS since I started this blog: 96
