Having home loans is something common to almost all families. We all know we have that specific amount of money every month that we have to pay to the bank.

I did this myself two years ago when I realized that with my second kid the mortgage I was paying was too high. I’m must more comfortable now.

The movie we went to watch was: Winx- The Secret of The Lost Kingdom. I’ve seen the Winx as a series on TV and both my kids love them. I must confess that the only thing I knew was that they were fairies with magic powers to protect people and the world from evil.

The announcement of this movie immediately caught my son’s attention and the requests to watch the movie were too many. Here is the trailer:

Bloom and her friends search for Bloom’s parents, Oritel and Miriam, while trying to uncover the secret of the lost kingdom Domino, which could change Bloom’s life forever. However they stumble onto a plot by an evil force named Mandragora and her three witches to infiltrate a dark realm called the circle of Obsidian, which will raise their dark power to a point that will allow them to conquer everything! The only thing that stands in their way is the Winx, who might not even be able to stop them.

Although there are a lot of color and magic around the Winx, the dark side, evil, bad people, dark magic are a strong presence in the movie. In my opinion this can transmit some fear in the kids although they know that in the end the good will always win.

It was a little hard for me to follow the movie since my kids where never quite and still.

Due to my overload explosion I had other side effects in my body and mind that I decided not to detail here because I would turn this blog into a disease research center. I’m taking a strong anti-stress pill for now and let’s see if I can recover soon.

Last Sunday, on Easter Day, we decided to spend some money and go to the cinema. I say “spend some money” because here it’s very expensive to buy four tickets and some popcorns and watch a movie in a local theater. So this was really a special thing we did. The day before it had been Catherine’s birthday and it was Easter without the visit of godfathers and godmothers because they were spending the weekend away, so we decided to do something different.

Here’s a look at the main chamber of the cinema:

We went to the 14.10 presentation and that meant having a full room only for the four of us.

The kids behaved…what can I say… they can’t keep still for too long so it was a little hard to watch the movie.

I’ll have to write a little review of the movie in another post otherwise I will leave this post in the middle and more days will pass without publishing it. I can tell you that we went to watch: Winx - The Secret of the Lost Kingdom.

There was no big birthday party for Catherine this year. She turned 4 last Saturday but due to Easter holiday most family and friends were away for the weekend.

She’s too young to mind about that and what she wants is presents.

She had a birthday cake and we sang the birthday song together with her godfather (my youngest BIL) and his wife. The cake had the image of the Ballerina Princesses movie.

Her favorite present was something she has been asking for for a long time: make-up case. She also received a puzzle, a book and several pieces of clothes and other accessories.

At the end of the day we received the visit of my best friend E. and a couple of neighbors (she’s starting in the blogging world with: About Portugal).

Catherine was very happy even without a big party and that’s what matters.

Sorry for those that visited this blog expecting new posts but life has been difficult for me.
I know I mentioned this several times before: full time job (leave home at 8:30, arrive at 19.10), two kids, cooking, laundry, cleaning, a husband that requires my attention and all the other stuff I have to do and remember.

Four blogs, yes 4,my blogspot one was supposed to be inactive for a while but guess what: I’ve been receiving linkpost to write there besides PU2B regular work. Blogspot blog is the one receiving more comments (probably because there is no spam filter in blogger) that’s why I’m now moderating the comments there. I really have to decide what to do, I already removed it from some social networks but I guess I have to remove it from linkworth and PU2B and lose a few dollars.

This blog was supposed to be the blogspot substitute due to all the “own domain” and “own hosting” dilema, but the truth is people keep coming back to the blogspot one. I guess I just have to “forget it” and keep up with this blog and the other two I have and where I love to write.

Another headache, I live in Europe and as you know we have the Euro currency. If you get paid 50$ for paid posts you receive 50$, when I get paid 50$ I receive now 31 Euros, two years ago 50$ meant 50 euros (+/-). These last months things got really worse and everyday they are getting worse, so this is another daily worry for me, I work hard with paid posts but each day that goes by I receive less.

Due to all the life, family, work, blogging events, I haven’t been feeling ok for a while, I’m a little depressed, fed up with my full time job, wanted to live from internet income but that seems impossible. The result is anxiety and a 20 minutes Tachycardia that almost took me to hospital on Wednesday. This is not something new for me but a tachycardia so long only happened 8 years ago, usually they last 15 to 60 seconds. I’m better now but still worried about the future.

Blogging is something I like to do and the extra money I earn is really helpful. Here am I now at 02.17 writing this post and already have some tasks assigned to write. Everyday I look for other sources of income. Europeans also have a disadvantage - no samples for us to review, no contests to participate, well…

I really like the blogspot blog but I really have no interesting things to write there besides paid posts so I guess I just have to stop writing there and forget about making money there. With time I hope to get more work for the others blogs.

This weekend was a tough one, I’m not writing about it now because it has pictures and bad and good news, events that hurt my heart but tomorrow or Wednesday they will be written.

I’m sorry Catherine for not being able to write a post on your birthday day (Saturday), you know mom was not ok!!.

I have so much to write, today and tomorrow I’ll be at home, but with the kids I already know time will be short.

As I mentioned before my daughter loves to color online. This drawing was one in many she colored yesterday.

Usually she colors hearts of blue but today they are red. She insisted with me in the nose detail…it’s white instead of piggy color.Her teacher spoke to me this week and she’s impressed with the drawings Catherine does. She’s very perfectionist and all the details are included in her drawings. I have to take pictures of some to post here.

Regarding coloring online, she already manages the mouse very well and she can already handle the browser.

Here is another one from last week:

There is a Dani girlfriend from her school class spending the afternoon with us. Being both 9 I understand it’s difficult to include my almost 4 years old daughter in the play. She just keeps getting in the way and things got rough now. Catherine ended up crying and after several warns I had to shout at Dani in front of her friend.

He’s not doing anything we request, I told him to get dressed before she arrived and there he is playing on his pajama.  Today dad asked him to put some toys in a box and he kept postponing it, dad, instead of insisting, he just put the toys away and said he will discipline him in a different way. It’s this situation that I complete disagree with dad. We have to take action right away not someday.

Catherine is now here next to me, while they are playing upstairs. A picnic inside the house today was promised to my daughter to end the dispute. Let’s see how it’s going to be the rest of the afternoon.

As I had scheduled paid posts on my other blogs this one has been neglected. I still haven’t found a way to organize my paid posting in advance.

I haven’t been doing paid post on this blog because I don’t have time, the paid posts I have for my other blogs are enough to keep me busy for hours. Right now, I just have to find some quiet time during the weekend or even during the week to write those paid posts that are not personal, that can be written in advance. I know a lot of people do that, specially on weekends, I have to give it a try.

Personal posts, well…those have to be on the day, on the moment otherwise they aren’t real for me. For now I want to keep this blog personal, family, parenting related and those subjects for me, can’t be written in advance.

I spend a lot of time reading other bloggers posts and that also takes the time away from me, but I love to read and I can’t avoid reading my regular blogs even if it means no time to write my owns. How do you manage this?

I must confess, these last few days have been very tiring, I’ve been really busy at work and with personal matters to take care of, like ID card, medical report for Dani because of soccer training, an issue of my mother regarding electricity ( a huge account to pay), I have no time for myself, my life always spins around everybody’s life but mine. This last three nights I had to take a anti-stress pill so I could get some sleep because…I couldn’t sleep due to muscle pain, bone pain, all caused by stress and anxiety.

I’m feeling much better know and I hope I have a great weekend. A great weekend to you all !!!!

I’ve been postponing to write about diaper’s issue because I did once and things didn’t worked out.

I can tell now that for 3 weeks, Catherine is not using night diaper. I tried last year but it didn’t work out because she continued to wet the diaper at least 2 or 3 times a week. I didn’t worry at all. Dani wore night diaper until the age of 4 so I was just waiting for her timing (she’ll be 4 this month).

Three weeks ago, due the suspicion of a urinary infection that fortunately was false alarm, I decided to give it a try and no more night diapers.

During the first week, at about 1am, I used to take her to the bathroom to pee but than I stopped doing that and in three weeks, I can say, we had no wet bed.

I guess this is it…no more diapers in the house, well…only baby dolls are allowed to wear them.
