El Club de las Reinas de la Noche

I’ve got the stuff that you want
I’ve got the thing that you need
I’ve got more than enough
to make you drop to your knees
‘Cause I’m the queen of the night
The queen of the night
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Yeah
…decía Whitney
Pues aquí me presento ante vosotros, como una auténtica Reina de la Noche…
Seguro que, entre vosotras, hay más de una ¿me equivoco?
Si ya sabía yo que las alocadas noches de “tierna Juventud” servirían de algo…
Esa manía por aguantar toda la noche, ser la última en irme a dormir… Todo era un entrenamiento. El previo para lo que me deparaba el futuro.
Sólo hay algo con lo que no contaba: el comodín de “me meto a la cama y no me llames hasta la hora de comer” ya no forma parte del juego.
Las noches me dan miedo.
Me he convertido en la Centinela del Pasillo.
De pronto me encuentro ataviada con ibuprofeno, paracetamol, termómetro, toallas, sabanas limpias y fregona, y todo porque, no me preguntéis el motivo, a los Virus les gusta la noche:
La fiebre asoma más fuerte de noche.
Los vómitos son más intensos de noche.
Las diarreas son más coloridas de noche.
Las toses son más angustiosas de noche.
Los mocos más espesos llegan de noche…
Desconozco el motivo, pero los virus son como han un gremlin al que le das de comer después de media noche. Se descontrolan al ponerse el Sol.
Ando sin dormir de la emoción. Empiezo a pensar que mejor sería arreglarme después de cenar, en lugar de ponerme el pijama.
Mejor invertir en algo de música y una bola discotequera para entonarme, o tendré que pedir la cruz verde al Señor Boticario y colocarla en el pasillo.

¿Alguien me explica por qué?
Pero eso sí: Es empezar a amanecer, oír cantar al gallo, y los virus, si te he visto, no me acuerdo.
Las urgencias de casa se despejan. Todos recuperados y con las pilas cargadas y yo me quedo con mi corona de reina y las ojeras de mapache: “lista para empezar un nuevo día”.
La noche me da miedo. La noche me confunde. Ahora, vivo de noche.
Pero tranquilos, ya me estoy acostumbrando, y no es tan grave:
¡Dormir está sobrevalorado!  <3
¿Alguna reina más entre el público? Seguro que sí. Esto se merece crear un club.
Y recuerden, para protestas, reclamaciones o quejas, o palabras bonitas de esas que tanto nos gustan, llamen al  #555 o, mejor, déjenos sus comentarios ;)

Recently we got the opportunity to visit Kriser’s Natural Pet, as a pet owner, I am somewhat disappointed to have never even known about Kriser’s or how close it is to my neighborhood. I’ve always had pets in my home since I was a child so I was very excited to explore this new place. I really wanted to take our 5-month-old German Shepherd, Eliza out for an adventure but she tend ...

Don’t you feel summer break has flown by way too quick? I’m getting nostalgic just thinking about not having my little one’s company during the day. Over the summer I’ve seen her explore and grow, we’ve had good and bad moments. As I hear her play doctor with her baby cousin in the background I can honestly say I will miss these moments when she heads back to school. ...

How have you kicked off your 2016? Are you sticking to your New Year’s resolutions? I let go of making resolutions a few years ago and just stuck to doing my best, whether it’s to losing some pounds, making healthier choices, or being a little more confident with myself. Last week we ended off the year exercising and going to the park to run up and down the hill. I will confess I didn& ...

Have you ever been so entertained by a program or series that you cannot miss it every single night? I know I have, but sometimes we don’t all agree on one show. You see I like my novelas, my husband like sports, and my daughter loves her cartoons and kid’s movies; so we can never watch the same programs. Luckily I now have Xfinity X1 where I can watch all my favorite Spanish-language ...

Hey y’all! So please tell me I’m not the only mom out there running wild around the kitchen just trying to get a meal on the table come dinner time?!

There’s times I’ve ...

This is a sponsored post in collaboration with Nabisco and Latina Bloggers Connect. All opinions and text are all mine. Every day after my daughter gets home from school, I give her a big hug because I’ve missed her and I want to know how her day went. But of course, the answer I always get is “Bien. Mami que hay de comer, tengo mucha hambre.” meaning “Good. Mommy what did ...
