When it comes to my "familia", the word unpredictable is the norm...today, with less then 24 hours before my brother's wedding, we had a marvelous dinner at Cafe Iberico (surprise, surprise!), if it would've had taken place over a year ago, I would have been a part of the madness thru and thru; for as the night progresses, my family gets funnier and funnier, lauder and lauder... and I love that!! Tonight, however, it's 9:30pm and I'm sitting in my house, with the lights out and writing, while everyone else is having sangria and tapas back at Cafe Iberico... why didn't anybody tell me that part of having kids would mean respecting baby's bed time??? Yes, yes, yes... everyone said, your life will change, but nobody had the nerve to be specific about it!
What surprises me the most is my fierce determination of getting out of there as soon as I saw my poor little man pleading with painful and agonizing moans...I mean, I grabbed my bag, said bye to almost everyone in less than 5 minutes (that, my friends, is admirable to say the least, when we're talking about my family) and before I even realized what had just happened, I was home and the baby sound asleep in his crib! Yikes... can't deny that mother instincts do exist...somehow... still figuring out how....
Wait... my brother is getting married tomorrow, that's what this rehearsal dinner was all about right? Not just about me...ok... a little about me (why not?)
Jesus and Vanessa, I love you and tomorrow everything will be as great or even better than what you can possibly imagine today, it's all about celebrating your love, and how much those around you love you!
Well, you kinda had an idea of what to expect given that you saw me with Katie here and in Spain and Guadalajara. I admire your quick departure, as usual, I was las again but this time not by choice, my car was the last one to show Up!! Of course the kids were crazy and so were my feet!
ReplyDeleteI hope you know that we love you and admire you more than you know it!
Love, Y
