Today I did nothing!! It felt great but strange at the same time and being that I have no TV at home, let alone cable TV, I've been catching up on horrible TV commercials and train wreck reality shows. So after watching hours of crazy women from all over the US aurgeing and detective Stabler and Benson kicking ass I watched America's Got Talent for the FIRST time.
Of course I laughed at all the "untalented" and the guy that fell off stage. OMG that was awesome lol he did a cart wheel right off the stage!
Over all it was your typical monkey talent show. Some were good others... not... so much.
Hopefully I get a good nights sleep tonight so I can have more adventurous and fun First to blog about and go to the gym!
Thank you for reading! I promise funner post will come!

Coors Light anyone?
Yesterday I was still feeling under the weather but said whatever, and started drinking. I know not a good choice but...
Since being in Florida I haven't felt that good but I can't just lay in bed all day.
So after we basically kicked out the men that were working around the house we were off to explore.
I'm not much of a drinker but decided to because if I'm going to feel bad I might as well have some fun lol.
So my First for yesterday was drinking Coors Light. I'm a bit in shock because I drunk beer and especially Coors Light ... goodness.
Number of First: 1!
Thank you for reading and dealing with my sluggishness these last few days!

MAY 29th: Fage, Bud Light and the pool
Sorry trying to play catch up so I will be uploading pictures at a later time. Currently I'm sickly, in bed and trying to relax and not being very good at it because my mind is going 1000 MPH! The good news is that I changed my settings so now EVERYONE can share their comments! :)
Anyhow. My first First of yesterday was going over to a family friends house and swimming in their pool. We all had lots of fun playing volley ball in the pool and being loud, competitive crazy woman! Leilani was hesitant about going in the pool at first but after I literally threw here in the middle of the pool she was fine and didn't want to get out later. After eating, taking a nap and jumping back into the pool we left and I met one of my best friend Shanika for some drinks and catching up.
Yesterday was also the first time I bought Bud Light and a new flavor of my favorite Greek yogurt:Fage.
Total First for yesterday: 3!
Like I said before sorry my post are so brief and late please bare with me as I get better!
If you have any suggestions or things I should do while in Florida let me know! :)

MAY 28th Post: Airport with 2 KIDS!
Sorry I haven't been consistent, I'm on vacation in Florida which means lots of family and friend time!
Then to top it all of my daughter an I are getting sickly :(!!
Any how let me back track and tell you my May 28th First :)
May 28th was the first time that I was in an airport with two kids by myself! At first I was REALLY worried because both my nephew and daughter like myself were VERY excited to go to Florida and because I was beginning to feel under the weather and was a bit extra cranky.
However, when we got to the airport check in was a BREEZE, security was a walk in the park, and waiting at the gate was an adventure! Being that I was feeling blah I just let the kids run around the waiting area I know probably not the best "parent" decision but whatever they're young and my head was in the congestion cloud.
Over all the First was surprisingly easy and breezy. I'd do it again I mean of course when they are 35 lol!
Total First for May 28th: 1! very big one that I'm proud I managed with out yelling! :)
Please bare with me while I try to get better to enjoy my vacation and be able to blog more regularly!
Thank yu for reading! Picture coming later PROMISE!

SORRY!
The last two days have been hectic!
I was getting everything ready for my upcoming trip to Florida to return my nephew to my sister.
Needless to say the stress of having two kids full time with NO breaks and 101 other things on my mind have bought me to very high levels of stress! My eye was even twitching, which I've never had happen before and to top it all off I woe up yesterday feeling sickly -_- ! Shamefully I will admit that I have an anxiety problem when it comes to the anticipation of flying, which is really weird because I fly pretty regularly and practically lived on planes as a young child. Any how the flight was quick, nice and the kids behaved WONDERFULLY!
My first for MAY-27th was NOTHING :( Sorry guys I got nothing I guess you could say that my First was packing a suitcase for three people.
The process was pretty easy. My eye kept twitching throughout the entire process because the kids were playing EXTREMELY LOUD!!
As for now I am on vacation in Florida trying to get better so I can enjoy the rest of my vacation!
It feels good to be back with my sister and friends!
Thank you for reading! I will try to stay in blogging as much as possible ! :)
Thank you once again sorry this post is so all over the place.

72 Bus and Little Shop of Crafts
Today after the Zoo the kids an I went to The Little Shop of Crafts on the UWS.
To back track a bit the zoo was, the zoo. However! Today was the first time I saw a/the Polar Bear swimming and like usual I was more into it then the kids :)
After we left the zoo I decided to give the pottery store another go since we were unable to paint yesterday due to my untimely arrival."Wine Time" for adults which by the way I'm definitely going back for!
The pottery store is at the far end of the island and I had on heels, for the first time in NYC, so I didn't feel much like walking so we got on the 72 bus. This was the first time I had riden this bus and I must say I'm getting better at navigating the whole bus thing !
We got to the store and the kids picked out their pieces of plaster and got to painting.
Total First for today: 4!

So this is all the ZOO!?
Two words. Bronx. Zoo. Ok I know i've been here before but today I saw parts of the zoo I didn't even know existed lol.
My First First of today was going inside the monkey house at the Bronx Zoo. It was a bit small and cowarded due to numerous field trips and it being pay as you like Wednesday.
However, there was this little Squirrel Monkey that was "playing" with a roach, yuck but cute at the same time. He would grab it and let it go and then observe it. It was funny because he was looking at the roach like we, humans, look at him.
My second First of today was seeing a Tapir (Tape- Ear). I have walked pass the thing a thousand times and never realized it until today. The things I like about zoo's and aquariums the most is the different shapes, sizes and unique characteristics of each of the animals. The Tapir almost looked like an ant eater, which I've only seen in pictures, but had a look all its own. I'm not really sure how to describe it.
The third First of the day was getting on the shuttle, which was once again FREE because I'm a member, and going to the other side of the zoo. The kids an I got off at the Asia station but not before passing Africa and learning they had a LARGE African section 6 acres, give or take, an a gorilla compound! Upon arriving at Asia station we got on the mono rail, my fourth First, which takes you around a small section of the zoo that has animals native to Asia. We saw an elephant, deer, huge cows, deers and a few others that I shamefully don't remember.
Shortly after the kids an I went home and then left again to go to a little pottery place. However, when we got there I learned that it was only adult time, because they were serving wine, so we had to go :(
But we walked over to Central Park and found another park we'd never been to!
A Fifth First for the day!
Total first for today: 5!
Thank you for reading its late an I have to get to bed so I will update this with pics and a YouTube video!
