Much love, compassion, patience, acceptance and forgiveness for all on this wonderful Valentine's Day.
Today, It is me and my punkin'...my 13 year old tower of power!! I am so grateful for all my children, Tori, Celia and Parker they are the loves of my life!! I do have room for more love to share.... when the time is right is when I will find the right partner who can keep up with me and my bad-ass attitude!! lol
Tonight, I have made my Valentine, Speghetti with red meat sauce, a beautiful green salad and yummy fruit from an Edible Arrangement that was delivered today. Some of the fruit missing, but his is dessert for tonight!!
I am soo proud of my Punkin' - he has his interview with Chaminade High School tomorrow morning at 9:20 a.m. Chaminade has requested that we entertain the school, they have a lot to offer, they have a fabulous football program (they are the new state champs!), they are a catholic, college prep school located in West Hills. I am sooo proud of Parker - he has grown up very quickly and has so much going on for him. I thank God for him....truly!
The brief story is that my 3rd husband wanted to have another child - I did not. I figured 2 girls were enough for me to handle! However...as a good latina, Catholic girl.... I attempted. While my doctor said it would be years for me to get pregnant.... damn doctor was INCORRECT!!! I got off the pill on my birthday, May 8, 1999 and was pregnant by July 4, 1999. I was so upset about the pregnancy and Dad was very excited...OVERLY Excited! Within the week that the pregnancy was confirmed, the doctor told me that there was something wrong with the pregnancy and that I would miscarry over the weekend and to rest. I went to a picnic that weekend and noticed all the new moms with babies...so sweet. I was sooo heartbroken that my baby wasn't going to be with me and was sooo saddened that I felt so angry about the pregnancy news.... because at that moment... I would do anything to keep my baby. I cried most of the weekend.
Monday the doctor called me and he told me that he was mistaken, there seemed to be a problem with the tests and to come into the office right away. I did and they confirmed that all was well with the pregnancy and that I WAS NOT going to miscarry. I was sooo greatful for the news.
I do believe that God is a just God, that he works in mysterious ways and allows us to meet the most extraordinary people at extraordinary times. He is the one who helped me realize that being pregnant was a blessing and that I truly wanted this baby... who is now my Parker Boy. I am sooo very grateful indeed!
To all a very special evening and Valentine's Day!
Carmen
