Homemade sopaipillas

My hubby makes the best homemade sopaipillas. See everytime we order them at a resturant they make them flat with powdered sugar on them. We are not use to them that way. We like them light and fluffy, so we make our own, well I guess I should say my hubby makes them. They don't like to puff up for me. Here's the dough. Here they are frying up, which isn't so healthy, but every now and then is ok.

Here they are ready to eat. Robert likes to eat his with his enchiladas. Marrissa and I like to eat ours with honey drizzled on them. They are so yummy!!!

Marrissa's best friend

We finally gave in and got Marrissa a cell phone and it has become her new best friend. We did give her rules with it and for the most part she's doing fine with them. Good thing I got the unlimited texting. These kids sure do text alot!!! I guess that's the new thing. I'm so out of date these days. She is glued to her phone. She is very happy to have it. It it good for consequences too. A nice leveraging tool. To tell you the truth it is nice to have the contact with her when were apart. So I guess it a good thing for both of us.

I'm so frustrated!!!

On Sunday Marrissa's tailbone was hurting, then on Monday it was worse, she said she couldn't even sit in her seat at school. So that evening I was trying to get her in to get an x-ray but of course her doctor doesn't do x-rays, so I called the x-ray place at 4:20 and they closed at 4:30 no way would I have made it there. Yes I could have took her to the emergency room, but it costs more. So we decided to wait it out and see how she was by Tuesday. Oh yeah by the way I did have a call into the nurse to call me back and guess what she never did!!! Anyway It was still bothering Marrissa on Tuesday so we both took the day off and called the place where they do the x-rays and guess what they had no available appointments for today. Just my luck. So I end up going to nextcare and we get there at 8:45am and I have to type all my info in the computer I guess times have changed, I use to fill out paperwork and they put it into the computer. Anyway we were not called until 10:30. Then they procede to tell me that we have to go to an x-ray place to get a tailbone x-ray because they don't do them there. So we leave and go to the x-ray place and they have a two hour wait so they send me to a different one and they only had an hour wait, so we grab a quick bite to eat and went back. They took the x-ray and said they would have them to the doctor in about two hours and then the doctor would contact me today. That was at 12:30pm. It is now 6:55pm and I never got a call. Can you believe it. I feel like it was a wasted day without any answers and alot of money spent on nothing. The only thing the doctor said was to give her some ibueprophen because the area was a little inflamed. The doctor was a little puzzled too because Marrissa did not fall or bump into anything and that's usually the only time the tailbone gets injured. So here we are with no answers and a child who has a hard time sitting on her bum. It really felt good to vent. They will probably call me Friday Ha Ha. Doctors can be soooo frustrating!!!

Suitcase dog!!!

When we were packing to go to Albuquerque for my Dad's birthday back in Jan. the dog decided to get in the suitcase. He didn't want to get out. I guess he could sense we were leaving. He hopped right in like it was no big deal. He is so funny.
