5-Day Weekend
Well, I finally published my October 20th entry. I’d been putting it off since I couldn’t get myself to write that last part about Wookie passing away. I figured I’d put it off long enough so I finally tackled that this afternoon.
I’ve spent a good chunk of today trying to upload old 2005 entries. I still need mid-March and a few 2006 months. Bleh. I hate it. It would be much easier if I didn’t have to read through them to categorize them, but I’m anal about that so I just *have* to do it. It’s so much easier having them on here when I need to “remember” something.
I spent some of yesterday annoyed, so I’m glad today was better. I hate having to do things I don’t want or need to do, and Elda just so happened to send a bill for me to pay with Brandon in the morning. I didn’t get a call asking me to do it or anything. I was just expected to do it. Pisses me off.
I picked up a few things at the Dollar General after I picked up Jaylen and paid Elda’s stupid bill. I desperately needed a new cookie sheet, so I got one and some Mega Man toys for the kids that were only $2! Pretty darn cool. I was supposed to save them for their stockings if I found them but there was no way I’d be able to hide them from Jaylen =\.
My stupid toilet tank was overflowing, so that pissed me off, too. It’s finally flushing correctly so I was thrilled, but oh no, something else always has to go wrong. After using about 5 huge towels to sop the mess up 3 times I lowered the faucet thing down a little and it didn’t overflow anymore. Stupid toilet.
I was supposed to be sewing curtains for Mary’s bedroom (blah) but she didn’t leave me the pattern (which is an old curtain) so I didn’t do them. I’m not going to do them tomorrow, no way. I fully expect to be left alone so I can enjoy these 5 days of no-school. Like Mario said, they figure I’m “not doing anything else” so everyone gives me little chores and errands to do. That’s the one thing I don’t like about living here =\. I don’t mind doing them for the in-laws, it’s everyone else that gets on my nerves.
Bitchyness aside, Jaylen got a dinosaur toy for behaving all six weeks. When I spoke with his teachers this morning they said only 3 boys and 1 girl didn’t give them trouble all six weeks, so they got to choose a prize. Jaylen was thrilled. I’m so proud of my little dude :).
Eenan placed 9 out of 30-some kids in UIL. He’ll be receiving a ribbon, which he’s just elated about. I’m so proud of him, too. His coach was gushing about him this morning. *beams*
John is humping the air while laying on my couch because he’s bitching that he wants to get online so I think I shall go now before I throw the monitor at him. Now he’s rolling around whining for me to remove this part of the blog, but I’m not. Neener, neener.
Okay, I’m going to read my Harry Potter book now (have you seen the teaser trailer?! AWESOME!) and kick the kids’ cousins out since they’re fighting over the Game Cube. What happened to their Game Cube, darnit?? They’re only here to play because once time is up and I tell them to turn it off, they leave. WTF?
Anyway, yay! 5 days of not waking up at the crack of dawn!!!
