Hi Folks,
It has been awhile since I have posted. God is doing a great work in keeping me humble. Lest I not get to prideful thinking I can control everything. :-)
The boys are giving me a run for my money with how much energy they have and how quick witted they are. I am learning patience love and gentleness in parenting three. My mentor Sue is such a sweetheart. She tells me 3 is as hard as it ever got for her, and she has SEVEN!
Huatzin is almost done with school. He does Special Olympics coaching often. I am so proud that he does this and the boys and I LOVE cheering him and the guys on. We will begin a Crown financial class in February, to learn better budgeting to save for a house and learn to be better stewards. Huatzin is amazing! He really is an WONDERFUL dad. The boys admire him and Anaiah wants him MORE than me when he is home! Something I never experienced with the boys. GOD I AM SO BLESSED!!!
The boys are so amazingly smart. Sometimes I wonder WHY they are so smart. God has made them delightfully inquisitive and the whole world to them is an endless place of exploring and learning. I am finally getting the " why questions." They want to know about EVERYTHING! Lord help me keep this desire for knowledge alive.
They are my mirror. If I have ANY flaws at all, they pick up on it and will reflect them right at me! I kept telling them boys in a harsh manner. "BE QUIET! Keep your mouth SHUT." They boys started saying it to each other. When I told them not to say it Canaan said," only YOU can say that mama? Uww burn.
Lord let me not be the hypocritical parent that demands more of my children than I myself can do.
Kids are such a great reason to always try to improve yourself and your condition! There is a saying,
" Live so that when your children think of fairness and integrity, they think of you." H. Jackson Brown
How true that is!
Hope all is well with you all. Alida PROUD mom & wife

Hectic Times
Hectic Times in the Rodriguez Household. Bless my dear sweet children and husband for putting up with such a looney mom! I have been doing the oddest things lately... I am both a scatter brain and an exhausted mental case! lol :o) I threw away my toothbrush and put a dirty diaper in my cabinet!
From appearances, it may " LOOK " like I have things together and under control.. do not be deceived. :o) I put the nose suction in my fridge, I left the Milk on my counter... I am making lists for everything now as I forget anything not written before me in text. The kids have been a bit sick here and there making it hard for me to keep any scheduled engagements.
I a fanatically CONSTANTLY cleaning my home only to discover it filthy with moments of me proclaiming it finished! I feel like I am running around like a chicken with no head... or "a toddler trying to hold 15 things with two hands!" LOL. NEVERTHELESS...
This is such a beautiful blessed time in my life. Even though this has been a challenging year, I am SO blessed. I have had quite a few friends that have either been sick or have relatives that are dying from some type of cancer or illness. I have three beautifully healthy children. One of the gals from my LLL just lost her two month old baby. I couldn't imagine it.
I have such a sweet considerate husband. He supports whatever I do. It really is wonderful. Since Anaiah had been born, our relationship has gone to a whole new level. Who knew that 3's a charm.
We are checking out our options for the boys education. We went to a "considering homeschooling" meeting and I am truly inspired. My dear husband is OK with whatever choice the Lord would lead us to do. I think we will Homeschool.
That means for me that I will not return back to school or work for a long time, maybe not another 20 years or so. Once it sank in it was sobering. I feel encouraged though. I know this will reap eternal rewards and it will touch my children's lives and relationship with the Lord forever. GOD IS GOOD!
I am reading through Ecclesiastes. It is so touching and beautiful. I read through it and it gives me such joy and hope. For everything there is a season! This is the season I am in. I am learning contentment in where ever the Lord puts me. Be Blessed!~ Alida
Ecclesiastes 3:1- "To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up [that which is] planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
He hath made every [thing] beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
