Neighborhood Politics


Oh how things work here in Mexico......There is a store literally across the street from Cesar's house. This is where we get most anything we need. Well this time when i come, i am informed we no longer shop there. I have no idea why, other than "problems" Lucky for me there is another store down the block, but it is not as big and the selection sucks. I just want to use the store across the street, but apparently i would be crossing some line. Who knows.....

Also i keep forgetting....don't flush the toilet paper. I just struggle with remembering, and hence clogging the toilet. It is a hard habit to break. Anyways. All is well. Hot, muggy, but well

Hello Mexico, I am back in town...


We arrived safely after a long day of travel around 10pm last night. I did not have much energy to do anything but sleep. Didn't sleep well do to all the noise and my husbands horrible mattress. Just had a nap and am ready to relax! Catch you all laters.

I'm leaving on a jet plane.....


Tomorrow i leave for Mexico. I have the same nervous anticipation i always get. The worry about a day full of travel with a 3yr old. The excitment of seeing my husband. The fear that maybe we have nothing in common anymore or what if things are weird...(they never are, but i worry) I have overpacked. I know that. I am really hoping i get a flight attendent who will overlook the fact that my suitcases are about 55lbs each and not 50lbs. If they try and charge my the $100 overage fee, i will just unpack some stuff right there and hand it to my mom, since nothing is worth that much. God willing they let it slide though. How i will mange 200lbs of luggage and a carseat and carry ons and a 3yr old is beyond me, but it always seems to work out ok. Gotta bring as much as i can to prepare for the upcoming move.

Anyways any prayers or positve thoughts for safe travel are appreciated and i will check in when i arrive!

Hello. My name is Rebecca and I am an addict.


I know i have a problem. I have never been in denial. I just did not realize how bad it was until i started waking up in the middle of the night thinking about it. After sitting in bed tossing and turning i finally get up. Walk out to the kitchen, open the fridge and pop open a nice cold can of Diet Pepsi.  Yes that is right, i drink it in the middle of the night. I average about 5 cans and one bottle a day of the stuff. It is nuts.I know i have a problem. I know it is bad for me. I have heard all the horror stories about cancer and weight gain and what not. I don't know if is is i just dont care or i just cant stop.

I drink water too. About 5 bottles a day at work. (yes i go to the bathroom alot) I ma just a thirsty person (i have been tested for diabetes) I know it is an issue. Anyways i am not commiting to stopping. I am not commiting to cutting down. What i will say is i am gonna try and drink less. I spend crazy amount of money on soda and it really needs to end. For my health and my pocketbook. It is 11am here and i have only had one bottle and one can today. That is a big improvement. ...let's see how the rest of the day goes.
