I do not stand him retired, at home all day, without helping in anything at home, nor doing something with his life. He sits, all day long, writing lists of all the things he wants to get done, but he does not start anything at all. He eats, sleeps, eats and sleeps and the circle goes on and on and on. I am exhausted with all the chores and the daily tasks I faced, all alone, every day. I feel so upset and so tired. In te...

It was so bright and clear that the day was sparkling. The puertorrican pink oak trees had all bloom, and the pink little flowers make them look like bubble gum loli- pops in the middle of the green grass carpet. It was an awesome day to be outdoors and to celebrate my mommy's life. <BR> <BR> We gather for lunch and an afternoon cake celebration. My mom received 5 of her six children, 5 in laws, 5 o...

I e... Fri, 8 Apr 2011 20:40:13 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=4151383 I have been sick since Wednesday afternoon. Ouch!!! I had vomits since Wednesday afternoon until 4:00 am on Thursday. It was awful. I had many, many years without feeling this way and I feel exhausted.
