Today started out…not so good. After the very sweet and touching entry I wrote about how loving my husband is, we got into a fight. I won’t go into details, but I ended up smacking him with a handful of the pretty flowers he got me. Yeah, it got that bad. A lot of the flowers survived though, heh. I still feel bad I took it out on the flowers .

Anyway, I was pissed at him most of the day and he kept trying to make peace, but I wasn’t having it. I was just that mad. Eventually, I eased up a bit and we started talking. We left around 1:30 to pick up money from Mom to pay for her storage unit. Then we got some drinks and drove to the school where I had my appointment at 2:30.

The appointment went well. Things happened so fast–I started thinking, “What did I get myself into??”. I officially start school on July 26th. I’ll be attending classes for 9 months from 8am to 12pm. I should graduate April 2006. I hope everything works out. Since it’s a private school and “basics” aren’t required, we’re going to be paying a lot out of our own pocket, but Mario assures me we can do it. I don’t think I would have gone through with it if he didn’t keep reassuring me that things would be okay. One of the perks is that I get a Blackberry LOL. It makes me nervous just *thinking* about having to drive through heavy traffic over there though. Tonight, Mario, John, Noelia, Jaylen and I (Eenan was with Mary, as always) went to the mall. I drove. I can now say that yes, I LOATHE getting off at that exit and quickly turning into the mall. People are so damn aggressive when they’re driving!

Tomorrow, I have so many calls to make. We have to figure out who’s going to be watching the kids for us while Mario’s at work and while I’m at school, which is most likely going to be Mom. We need to figure out how to pay her and all that. I also have to reschedule an appointment I missed and I have to call and check if my scholarship’s still good (it’s only $500, but hey, it’s something right?). John has a physical at 11am for his insurance, then at 12:30 we’re going to go pick up Mario’s paycheck at work and deposit for him. I’m nervous about that since it’s in a very busy part of town and it’s going to be during lunch…oy.

At 2, I have my appointment to sign the rest of the papers and all that junk at the school. I’m still in disbelief that I just jumped into this. I didn’t think I’d start this soon! I was really excited about it, but now I’m just really scared. What if we can’t do it financially?? We’ve got so many bills to pay this paycheck…it’s a bit overwhelming. Mario also needs to get the Prelude fixed so I can keep the Sentra for school. Ugh…I hope everything works out and falls into place. I’ve got such mixed feelings about this now!

*breathes* I can do this. We can do this.

As for Mario’s jaw…he’s got a strained ligament. He’s on meds for the swelling and pain and is only allowed to eat foods he can “slurp” basically. Poor dude.

Gonna go finish filling out my Financial Aide papers. I have a headache.

What the heck did I just do? I called to the other school I wanted to go to (my first choice) and just wanted to get info from them on what I needed to enroll later on. I somehow ended up making an appointment to meet with an admissions person tomorrow at 3pm . I didn’t even ask, nor did they tell me, what I needed to take with me. I don’t know when their classes start either. I’m nervous!! And if I do go to that school…it’s in a really busy part of town. Good Lord, I haven’t even gone to Target on my own yet because I’m avoiding all that traffic!! I’d have to drive there every day . I hope Mario’s okay with it. He’s got the day off, but he only expected to go pick up money from Mom to pay her storage unit, then we were going to the mall real quick because John needs to pick something up. I found it strange that the lady asked, “How does your spouse feel about you starting school?”, to which I replied, “Um…he’s very enouraging!” LOL.

Mario got out of work early today so he could go to the doctor. He went with Mary. He was complaining about his jaw hurting him yesterday when he woke up, and this morning he could barely open his mouth to eat anything. I hope he’s okay and that they don’t make it any worse. I remember the shot they gave me when I had that horrible 4-week virus — I swear I felt much, much worse after that .

I need to figure out what to make for dinner and I gotta clean up a bit more. I’m so bored. But not as bored as I was when the internet was down LOL.

I didn’t mention it in my previous entry, but last night after the fireworks, we were going to watch a movie. We being John, Mario, and I. Mario was pouring himself some iced tea over the kitchen table, and he told me something sarcastic so I playfully give him a smack on the arm and I make him spill a little bit of tea out of his glass. He got angry and dumped the remainder of the tea on the table. My white Dooney got some spots on it, Jaylen’s Gameboy SP got wet and everything else that was there got wet too. I got really upset and cleaned up while muttering profanities. I even vowed I wasn’t going to make tea all day today, pa que se le quite. I got ready for bed and John and Mario stayed up watching the movie.

I got over it in the morning, and basically forgot about it all day. Tonight, I heard a knock on the door. When I opened it I saw this:

My mouth’s hanging open and I manage to mutter, “Babe?” and he says, “I’m sorry I spilt the tea”, and he smiles, his eyes glistening, and I hug him. Of course I started remembering how bad I felt last night and how happy I felt at that moment and started bawling. I tell him, “You didn’t have to do that.”

“Yes I did. I love you.”

I laugh and say, “I didn’t make tea all day”, and he replies, “I was about to say that!”.

John doesn’t understand how I can be SO pissed at him one minute, and the next I’m kissing him on the forehead or hugging him. It’s little things like that that make me fall in love with this man all over again .
