¡Hola! Me llamo Señora, Olga, Olguita, Adalis, Beba, and best of all... Mamá


My first blog post and I have so much to say! I am a very high energized, effervescent (at least that's the word that was used to describe me in my year book!), and dedicated High School Spanish teacher who truly enjoys her calling to teach and believes she was born to do it; loves her family (anyone who is in my life is family), and praises Yah for all He has given her. This is why some spots might be in Spanish and some might be in both languages.

My heart has many owners but there are five special people who hold it tightest.  My four beautiful and amazing children. Yes! I have FOUR children! My oldest is almost 19 and my youngest is 2 (NOPE! That is not a typo, he's 2 years old!) and my better half, my constant support and cheerleader, my husband!!!

Now, you may ask, "Why a blog?" My answer is simple, "Facebook is just not enough for me!" I've always loved to write and express myself on "paper". Now, I just write and express myself on the World Wide Web. Who knows, maybe I can become an Internet sensation and make LOTS of money and retire... Yeah, no! Even if I had money I'd still be in a classroom. I don't know if I could live without the smell of concrete buildings, whiteboard markers, and old books. I swear those peculiar odors are my H2O.

So, with all this said, stay tuned for what Señora López might or might not share. I have good days and not so good days. Sometimes I have great stories and sometimes I ramble, but all in all, I think it would make for some interesting reading. Stay tuned and let me know your thoughts. It's always good to keep a conversation flowing both ways.

My weight loss journey!

It's been a long time coming. Ever since I can remember I was always called "fat". From my mother to my family and friends. Be it a term of endearment or because I was truly overweight, those words always hit hard. I remember in elementary school kids would say the meanest things. Things I refuse to repeat as they are not needed to remind me how mean people can be. The funny part is that I wasn't as "fat" as people made me feel. I went through high school covering up and wearing baggy clothes because I was, in my eyes, "fat". 276 lbs!  Once in college, due to many different situations, I lost some weight and kind of grew into my own body and style. I felt comfortable in my own skin and I think it had to do with being away from those who had labeled me "fat" before. I dated and was feeling normal for once in my life.  I met the man I would marry, and continued on with life. I ended up pregnant with my daughter and gained a little b...

Nómada en Puerto Rico: Día ocho... La despedida...

Image
Hoy me despido y … Tan tristes que son las despedidas. No solo de los seres que amamos sino del pedacito de tierra que mide 110 por 35 millas. Ese terruño de amor el cual está puesto como un sello en nuestros corazones. Es un sentimiento de melancolía mezclado con dolor y con una chispa de frustración. Es un tira y jala que en el corazón uno lleva siempre. Cuanto daría por decir me quedo. Cuanto daría por poder sentirme segura en todos los aspectos en mi isla. Son muchos los obstáculos que me aguantan de volver a vivir en la isla. Es triste y doloroso para mi no poder regresar a mi cuna pero bueno, Dios dirá cual es el futuro de la isla y quien sabe… tan pronto mis chicos estén grandes y yo no aguante mas el frio puede que regrese a mi terruñito, pero por ahora me despido de ella y de mis seres queridos hasta el año que viene. El viaje de regreso a casa lo use para analizar y recordar. Llore, reí, y hasta converse con muchos por el camino. En los aviones ahora hay “wi-fi” y uno pu...

Nómada en Puerto Rico: Día siete!

Image
Hoy nos fuimos de diligencias y luego a disfrutar de un poco de turismo interno en el viejo San Juan... Crepas de Crepe Maker Familia M&M ¡Me pude estacionar!  Hoy visite a mami. El campo donde sus restos descansan es bello. Queda en una loma en Bayamón de donde se ven montañas verdes y sopla una brisa tropical como solo en Puerto Rico puede soplar. Entiendo porque mami escogió este sitio. Se parece un poco al lugar que la vio nacer y donde vivió casi toda su vida. No es Adjuntas pero si es Puerto Rico. Hoy le dije una vez mas lo mucho que la extrañaba. Le sople miles de besos, le llore miles de lagrimas y le di miles de gracias por haber sido la mejor madre del mundo. Le di las gracias a ella porque por ella soy la mujer que soy. No soy perfecta pero trato de dar lo mejor de mi en todo momento. Le puse flores que mis tias le habían comprado. Orquideas, sus flores favoritas. La llore… la llore y cuando mas lloraba empezó a llover. No falla, siempre que la vo...
