I Want My Mommy!

And I want her NOW, NOW!!

But I will get her on Friday, so I must be patient. Well, I must try to be patient. Well, I would be patient if it wasn't taking so long for Friday to get here.

Here are my top 5 reasons Friday can't come soon enough...

#5. We are overdue for a Karaoke Party - Montoyas, prepare!

#4. Dress up is not the same without Grandma's "jewels" (AKA the estate sale jewelry treasure box that my girls drool over every visit.)

#3. Isaac must learn to call someone something other than "DaDa" and my feeling is "Ga-Ma" might be the one with the skills to make that happen.

#2. It has been too long since I have seen her, and we all are missing her!!

#1. She will bring with her 10 magical cans of gandules for my beloved rice and gandules, which I have only dreamt about for months since I cannot seem to find a place to purchase gandules in Arizona.

Okay, so maybe #2 really should be #1, but did you not read my previous post? I am hungry.

Breakfast!

Oh, I love to eat. The chewing, the flavors, the textures, that satisfied feeling that settles in as you are polishing off something truly yummy. It's a wonder I do not weigh 900 pounds.

Food and I are friends. And right now I am missing my friend because I have not had real good solid food in a couple of days.

My recent love affair with Latin Ballroom Dancing has sent me in pursuit of that fabulicious salsa body, and so I have put my "not so bad for having 4 kids" body back on the treadmill with a vengeance - AND have signed myself up for another 9 day cleanse. That's right. I have done it before and lived to tell about it. Please remind me of that in a day or two when I am going to bed at 3 in the afternoon to avoid staring down the fridge or taking down the Schwann's delivery man across the street.

Oh, it is BRUTAL - but effective. After Christiana, I lost 11 pounds in my 9 days the last time and it never came back. Well, never until I was expecting Isaac a year and a half later.

So, I am pouting over my breakfast this morning which, as it so happens, looks an awful lot like my lunch and dinner. I hear you telling me how ridiculous this is. I know you want to feed me. But, I can do ANYTHING for 9 days. And, after losing almost 4 pounds and a dress size in the first 3 days I will not be stopped - Salsa body here I come!

Sympathy please...
