Judge me NOT!!!

So this passed weekend has been crazy yet again, trying to get the last minute cleaning done before mom comes home from tonga. Have to admit I was sooo excited to see my mom, Sister, and her diva's 2 weeks was tooo long for me LOL. But anyways, my title is what it is because on Friday (7/10/09) I went to Ultimate tattoo shop and got a TATT, yeah y'all heard correct I did get me a tattoo, but it's nothing bad, but it is something sentimental to me (you may think otherwise, but that's your opinion), for those of you wondering what my mom did or said, it was nothing bad I LOVE MY MOM, all she said was your old enough to make your own decisions...and that right there people is enough said. Next month Aug 19 marks my baby brother's 10 year anniversary of his passing, and I thought of doing this in memory of him. It's funny that once people hear or see that you did this or did that they are QUICK TO JUDGE, and YES I told my mom, sisters, brothers that I was going to do this but they all probably didn't think I would....Well they believed me when I sent them the picture:D!! But I just find it funny that there are people out there that will say the funnest things (as if I'm a bad person), and in my mind I'm thinking well this is me, and this one tatt DOESN'T make me a bad person or it won't change who I am you know what I mean?? I just found it hillarious that people will look at me different because of this one tatt, but for real I DON'T care what they think as long as it has meaning to me that's all that matters...Anyways the story behind this symbol was actually mentioned to me by my little BIG brother ropes, he told me that one day he and Daniel went to a chinese restraunt to eat and when they were done of course they give you a fortune cookie, well when Lopeti opened his fortune cookie in the cookie was this symbol and underneath it said "LITTLE BROTHER" Lopeti still carries this fortune paper, after Daniel's Burial Ropes went and got this tatted on his arm, he recently told me this and that's another reason of why I WANTED to get this.

Crazzzyyyy WEEK...

OMG it's just been a crazy week since mom and Silia and her little family went to tonga. I've been cleaning, doing laundry, cooking you name it I was playin' the momma of the house, and to think I be takin' alot for granted when my mom is home. Just had to post how much fun it's been with Sinai's younger 3 that have been with me since the beginning of the summer, OMG how much fun and energy these 3 have, and not only that they can sure make a mess LOL and they can ALSO clean the place in secs LOL.

I seriously thought that when mom went to tonga I'd be off runnnin' around partyin' like a rockstar LMBO no but really like hangin' out with friends and whatnot. But I've actually been home playing the motherly roll to my niece (nini) and nephews (Brydan & Gideon) they have been soo much fun and also helpful around the house, it made babysitting a whole lot easier. I joked with Sinai the other day telling her man when the kids go back to school it's going to be hard for me to let them come back to your house I LOVE these kids dearly and am soo grateful my sisters and even brother trusts me to take care of them...I ALWAYS tell them, I don't care about you guys but I'll do ANYTHING for the kids LOL. And my sisters and brothers know that they lucky I'm single to be able to still take the kiddies out to a movie or just somewhere to eat.

Anyways this week with mom being in Tonga has seriously taught me to have patience and more Love for these kids who I consider my own. I've also had the blessing to attend Tohi's dads funeral and what a beautiful service, like Sinai mentioned while we were chatting with Tohi wedenesday night you can tell how a person was by the attendance of their funeral, and I'd have to say Sonasi was a wonderful and LOVING man, he raised wonderful children who I know my family looks upto Love you pouha family. Mom comes home saturday and I'm seriously excited to see her, I seriously MISS her.

OVERALL I had sooo much fun chillen' with my sister Sinai I don't even remember when the last time I really got to hang out with her. She's sooo wonderful, and she does sooo much for her kids I LOVE it and hope that one day I'll be able to follow her examples, so this 2 weeks that mom's been in tonga I can honestly say it has brought me and Sinai closer..I KNOW I've gotten on her nerves cause I haven't been in a good mood lately LOL so sorry sis I know I can be mean but thanks for seriously putting up with me and making sure Dad and I was ok while mom was out having the time of her life in tonga:D. And thanks again for pushing me to stay active with the workouts your the best. So until then I LOVE MY FAMILY!!

Babysitting

June 29, 2009 (monday) I decided to call into work so I can watch Baby Daniel, as well as Sinai's kids since mom's in tonga, and she's normally the one that watches them. I have had sooo much fun watching these kids, what a responsibility it is but well worth it. Anyways I was making the kids lunch (mac & cheese with hot dogs) and I heard dad calling me I go to see what he wants and he said take Saia's grand daughter in to play with the kids so I said ok. This little girl I believe her name is Una comes in and literally walks into every single room of the house. OK I thinking she's a little girl so don't sweat it right. Well I ask her if she wants to eat and she's shaking her head NO, so I say ok. I call the kids to come eat, and Daniel being the first to eat say mmmm Yummy aunty Kalo I said thank you Daniel. This little boy is sooo smart because after he had eatin' he turned to me to say Thank you aunty Kalo for the food...Now that right there made my day, anyways we all go to the living room to watch t.v. when this little girl starts pushing my nephew Daniel OMG I couldn't stop laughing when I seen Sinai's daughter Ailini sooo over protective of her little brother Daniel. The little girl Una was bullying daniel and Lini was not having it, it was hillarious cause then Sinai's boys started yelling at the little girl to leave him alone mind you this little girl is 3 yrs old my nephew is 2 yrs old. Anyways I was playing around with my phone and actually caught her arguing with Baby Daniel telling Daniel Alini is her sister...freakin' hillarious...Well worth calling in and staying with the kids...Love them to death!!!

WEST FEST 2009

June 27, 2009 (Saturday)..Ok after the ALL day & night softball games friday I was sooo beat, and so were the kids. Ailini, Brydan, and Gideon decided to come home with me again after the games and whatnot so they watched movies until they knocked out I have NO clue what time that was because I hella knocked out already. Anyways with it being Saturday and Lini's team being out of the tournament I decided that I was going to sleep in and saturday morning do nothing but clean.That I did do...I had come to appreciate my mom more. Especially with her being in Tonga for almost 3 weeks I had takin' the responsibility in the motherly role HOIIII is it TONS of work. So I had got the kids something to eat, started a load of laundry and then started scrubbing the bathroom, kitchen and even living room, OMG did I feel like I was working out like the heck, not only was I sweating but I started to feel the burn LOL yeah tell me about it, and it doesn't help that we don't have AC in our house all there more to sit still aye hahahaha. I got the house work done, fed the kids and finished up the laundry boy did I feel like once in my life I had a productive saturday LMBO. As I sat down and watched the kids I thought to myself oh my heavens no wonder mom's tired or worn out when I get off work, being a stay at home mom is a WORK itself..So to my sister's, aunties, young mom's and especially to MY MOM LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH THANK YOU EVER SOO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

Ok so I told the kids that their mom was going to pick them up to go to the West Fest and this was more of a reason of them helping me out around the house, so that they can go to the carnival and I'd have to say these kids do an awesome job at helping out around the house more of a reason to keep the at my house, cause they are just so helpful. Anyways Sinai came around 5 p.m. and picked us up to go enjoy the heat and the sun LOL, for real though it was HOTT, I didn't want to go cause seriously cleaning and scrubbing really took a tole on my energy LOL. Well guess what the kids made me feel bad so I decided to go and have some fun. Boy it was good to just get out and about and to run into soo many of my old co-workers and friends was a plus. Well we didn't get out of the parking lot until like midnight by then the kids were already knocked out, we got home the kids crashed and we slept in yet another day. Yeah we didn't even make it to church and you know we're gonna get it when grandma gets back LOL. But here a couple of pic's that we took, if you wanna see more just hit up my bebo page.

GRANTSVILLE

June 26, 2009 (Friday) I took the day off to go with Sinai and her little family to cheer on Ailini's All-Star softball game in grantsville. Man talk about an early morning rise, and wake up call for me. With mom being gone to tonga and Brydan & Gideon staying with me, I had to be the GROWN UP and have that responsibility by getting up at 4 a.m. to get ready and wake up the twins to get ready, to head on out to sinai's house to go to grantsville by 6 a.m. OMG was that a wake up call for me, I knew how hard it is to get kids up and ready but these two (twins) are amazing just one call for them to get up and get ready was all it took. I was soo tired but we did make it to Sinai's house ontime, in fact we were there and they were still getting up and getting ready woohoo...YAY ME LOL. Anyways we went to grantsville we were there pretty early and it had started to rain, yeah rain it did and we only had ONE umbrella to share amongst the 7 of us LOL yeah too funny I forgot mom's many umbrella's in her van it's ok we made it through at least I thought we did LOL. Through out the game the weather was sooo RANDOM more like A.D.D. or even Bipolar would describe it I swear it was the 4 seasons all in one day LOL no but for real literally random weather. Anyways it was sooo much fun cheering on Ailini's team they played awesome. This day was memorable for me thanks Sinai for letting me tag along. Good Job Ailini and Leia you gals played awesome.

Last week thursday 6/25/09, Mom and the Silia's little family headed out to tonga, boy am I missing them right now they'll be in tonga for 3 1/2 weeks for the 'Iongi family reunion. The original plan was for me to go with them but uhhh...yeah that didn't happen my funds didn't quite get there LOL, so I'm going to have to take a trip to tonga some other time I'm really not looking into going anytime soon. If I do decide to go oversea's it'll be to NZ:D, yeah I'm going go everywhere but there for now anyway. Anyways here are a couple of pic's from when we dropped off mom and the kiddies. It was soo dang cute I went to kiss my baby girl and tell her to be safe and have a safe trip she gave me the biggest hug and biggest kiss and said "BYE MY PRINCESS", when I looked over baby girl was teary eyed love these girls as if they were my own:D, can't wait for the girls to handle their business and perform their dances in tonga and show 'em what VAINI's got for 'em LOL. Love you girls can't wait for your safe return home.

TRANSFORMERS

Last night or shall I say this morning at midnight me and Nini, and Pitasoni, He'a, Brydan, Gideon went to watch TRANSFORMERS THE FALLEN. We got home from the gym at about 7:30 p.m. And I told them you guys better take a nap before we go and they all agreed that they would, funny thing is I can hear them in the living room watching T.V. and turning up the volume when a TRANSFORMERS commercial comes on, in my mind I'm thinkin' OMG these kids are going to sleep through the movie LOL. I knocked out for a couple of hours then I can hear the kids waking me up saying it's time it's time. HOIII what in the world did I get myself into hahaha, I guess Sinai walked in with the older two Soni, & He'a after the gym these two went home to shower and get ready like they was going to see someone there LOL, anyways I decide to get up and get ready and grabbed a couple of eggrolls that mom made and drank a cup of otai I know yeah what in the world I just got done working out hahahaha, all good just gotta work it off tonight with deena (ZUMBA). So we are getting ready to head out when Brydan says to me Aunty Kalo aren't you going to change (yeah this boy says the darnest things I tell yah) I said why I'm NOT going so see anyone there (yeah right I run into ward members from my singles ward LOL) plus I want to wear sweats and a t-shirt LOL.

Anyways so we get to hollywood connections and have like front row parking this was around 10 pm purchase our tickets, I ask soni aye where's the money from your mom he's like uhhh this is my money for my grades in my mind I'm like ok your mom said she gave you money, Io so I textd sinai and she's like uhhh can you tell him I'll pay him for his grades and use the money for the movies LOL, so that I did but I had already bought the tickets right, so I tell Soni uhhh you need to go and buy your brother's and sister some snacks cause that money is for the movies he's like OH! then he felt better when I said your mom will pay you for your grades later LOL.

Finally we get situated popcorn, drinks, and candy and I see Hola Mila he's like hey go stand in line with masi and them I'm like huh he's like they're all standing in line already, so I walk with the kids around the corner and Masi was like the 3rd person in line LOL thank goodness for him cause we were towards the front WOOHOO...anyways they don't let us in until after midnight which I didn't get, I guess that only happens in WV LOL, but yeah we watched the movie and it got out about 3 a.m. which it went by pretty quick, the kids enjoyed it and I did as well, some parts they could've did without but other then that I enjoyed it...Thanks Sinai for allowing us to go I LOVE MY NIECES & NEPHEWS!!
