Yesterday morning I dropped Eenan off at school and left the cupcakes in the classroom. Ms. O. was there so we talked for a little bit about Krispy Kreme (they’re selling them at Circle K now–YES!) and her pregnancy. I came home, got Mario’s & Jaylen’s clothes ready and at 8:30 we left to the awards assembly. Poor Eenan didn’t get a thing . They were only giving Kinder and Pre-K awards for perfect attendance and of course, Eenan was sick a few times this year with Pnuemonia and had to miss. Had they given out awards for Honor Roll in Kinder, Eenan definetly would have gotten a trophy. Yes, a trophy. They were giving out trophys and a CD Player to kids with perfect attendance and a trophy and a BIKE for kids who made the honor roll. Luckily, Eenan already has both–so hopefully he didn’t feel too bad. If he said anything about it after school, Mario and I decided we’d go out and buy him a little trophy and engrave it for him since he did exceptionally well this year. He was one of the top 3 in reading, homework, and grades in his class–but of course they don’t count it yet . He didn’t seem upset at all though, so I felt a little less upset about it.

Right after the assembly, I dropped Mario off at home, picked John up and took him to the stadium for his graduation practice. I was so nervous driving over there, since the cops drive around that area and our darn left blinker has a habit of going out sometimes and they’ll definetly stop me for that. And hello, I have no license. But I did fine and there were no cops around .

I came home, chilled out all afternoon and then we picked Eenan up. Ms. O. had invited us to the party, which started at 2:30, but we didn’t get there till 2:40 and they close the darn gate by then . When they finally let us drive in, we went in to the school. Ms. O. was upset because McDonald’s–which is right across the expressway about 5 blocks down–still hadn’t brought the Happy Meals the school’d ordered for the kids at around 2. Some of the kids, like walking and bus kids, didn’t get to have one . There was 2 other moms there and between all of us we seperated all the fries and burgers and nuggets into ziplocs and passed them to the kids. Since they had some left over, she gave the other Mom’s toddlers and Jaylen a Happy Meal each…aww . We talked for a little bit and then said our goodbyes, which was so sad. Eenan hugged her and said, “I love you, Miss!” She hugged me and shook Mario’s hand and told us how we were great parents and we told her what a great teacher she was. She said to stop by next year and visit her and the baby LOL. I can only hope Eenan has a teacher as nice as her next year.

Tonight’s John’s graduation. I think I’ll start getting ready at 3:30, because I need that much time to flat-iron my hair, iron all the clothes and clean a little bit. We have to be there by 6pm. The kids have been…okay so far. They’ve already wrestled a few times, but at least they’re calm now. I haven’t pulled my hair out or screamed into a pillow yet, so we’re doing alright .

Finally got a chance to update. I’m downloading some more “Top 100” from 1997 and hearing all the songs makes me really happy . Some make me sad, because they bring back memories *sniff*, but most make me happy .

I added a new skin–a Hello Kitty/Choco Cat pixelly one. Some of my visitors will remember the part of the layout with Hello Kitty and the sand castle from a clock I used to have on the site about 2 years ago LOL. You can view it here if you’d like. I’m still having trouble with it though. The side bar titles keep merging with the content in Netscape and Firefox ever since I added the sidebar as an include today. I don’t know what’s up with it. I got tired of looking for the mistake. I’ll try and fix it tomorrow. I’m keeping “Paradise” as the default one though since I’m still in love with that one.

Anyway, so yay, Carrie Underwood is the new American Idol! I’m glad I got through to vote yesterday; I would have been pissed if I didn’t . I really liked Bo too, but I just adore Carrie’s voice. He’ll be getting a contract too though, so it’s cool . I didn’t get to watch the first hour of the show because the DVR’s on the fritz or something. The little red light was on, which meant it was “recording” but it wasn’t . It didn’t record a movie Mario wanted either. Dumb thing.

Tomorrow’s Eenan’s last day of school . It’s so sad he’s not going to have Ms. Ortiz as his teacher anymore; she was a sweetheart. When I picked him up today she asked if I wouldn’t mind making some cupcakes for the class. I said “Sure!”. Aww. I wonder if Eenan will be sad. And you know what? They didn’t have yearbooks this year. I wonder why?

They’re having an awards assembly tomorrow from 8:30am-9:30am. Then we have to drop John off at school for his graduation practice. I hope things between he and Mom get better soon. They’re constantly arguing about something and I don’t want them to end up hating eachother .

Bah. Jaylen’s screaming for chocolate milk. Going to give him a glass then put him to bed. I still need to wash dishes and hang up clothes. I hate laundry…

First, Happy 18th Birthday to John!

Also, pixydust.net’s reached over 100,000 visitors! Thank you so much to all who’ve stuck with me for so long and a big thanks to my new visitors .

This is nice. Getting home from picking Eenan up and doing absolutely nothing. Usually, we’d get home, cool off (we live in south Texas so even though we have the air conditioner in the car on ‘High’ our skin still feels like it’s melting off our bones), then I’d help Eenan with his homework–which would usually last an hour since he’d get frustrated/lazy. Now, since it’s his last week of school and they have no homework, we just get home and relax. *content*

I’m crossing my fingers that Mario will be up to going to the beach next Sunday. Or one of the Thursdays. I want to beat the college/high school crowds, and the unbearable 105° heat, so I want to go sooner than later. I want to get a cute skirt or capris before we go though . Problem with capris is, I’m so SHORT that all the ones I’ve tried on so far fit me like regular jeans .

Noelia and Andy want to go to Sea World soon and want us to accompany them. I want to go, because that’ll probably be the only place we’ll go this summer if we go at all. It’s going to be hard convincing Mario to go. He told Big Mario on Sunday that they asked him if he wanted his vacations yet, and he said no! He said all the other guys had to wait a year before they got theirs, and it wouldn’t be fair to them if he got them when he’s only been there 8 months. I was like . The difference between him and some (not all) of the guys that have been there is that he works his ass off! That’s why they’re probably giving him his vacation time already. But I don’t know. We’ll only need 2 days to go. He can maybe trade one of his Thursdays for someone who works on a Saturday. Then we can leave Friday night, we’ll have Saturday to be in San Antonio, spend a little bit of time there Sunday and come back Sunday night. Gotta run that by him soon. *crosses fingers*

I want to have a fun summer. I want the boys to enjoy themselves. I don’t want to be cooped up in the house for two months. John and I need to figure out exactly when we’ll be getting our licenses. I know he needs a bit more practice (shit, I do, too…I’m still skurred!), but hopefully soon. I’d drive much more comfortably if I had a license in my wallet. The cops here will stop you for every little thing, and that makes me REALLY nervous.

I need to figure out what to make for dinner and Mario’s lunch. Blah. I have absolutely no idea what to make anymore and it doesn’t help we need groceries! I appologized last night for making the same things over and over again and he replied with, “I don’t mind. I love your food.” Aww . That’s the way to my heart right there–compliment my cooking. He was telling me about how Albert, his co-worker, was jealous of the meatloaf and homemade mashed potatoes I made him a few days ago. Mario said Albert called his wife, Jannett, before he went home and asked if she knew how to make meatloaf and mashed potatoes. He heard him say, very sadly, “Oh, okay. No, no, that’s fine.” Aww LOL. Mario needs to get a few hours off on Friday night for John’s graduation, and since Albert’s in charge that night we’re planning to bribe him with some meatloaf, mashed potatoes, corn and lasagna since he likes how I make that, too LOL.

Ah yes, it’s that time of the day where Jaylen cries for no reason at all, which means he’s due for a nap…
