I fell asleep on the couch watching Food Network with Jaylen the last night I posted. When Mario finally got home, it was 1am and I was woken up by a kiss on the forehead. I sarcastically told him how I loved how he got home early . He told me how the guys were bitching for him to go and that he really wanted to come home, but yeah. (As if he couldn’t just say no .) But I got over it and we cuddled after putting Jaylen in his bed.

I resumed my bitchiness today after the Dish Network guy (who was really nice and he and Mario instantly became friends…aww!) installed our equipment and I realized we had to pay for local channels. Fine, I thought, we’ll pay a little extra, but at least I can see and hear them clearly, unlike with our cable (still don’t know why it looked so shitty). THEN, I realize that there’s no FOX or UPN ! Who cares if you can pause live TV for up to 2 hours or that you can record all your favorite shows…there’s no FOX! I’d have to download all the damn episodes of American Idol!! So I was in a mood all day because of that (I swear I’m not PMS’ing either).

We went to dump some trash at the dumpster for Big Mario during lunch (with Jaylen–Eenan was at school), came home while Mario and Jaylen napped, then I picked Eenan up from school. Jaylen was being a TERROR…he woke up a little too soon and was moody and was driving me INSANE. We got back home and then Mario finally woke up and we left to see Gramma at the nursing home. She’s doing really well, and I’m so glad. She could have also been in a terriffic mood because Mom was there and they’d been playing Bingo. She’s looking really good too; she’s definetly gained some weight and is looking much healthier. We all talked with her and she played with the boys. She was so happy she could actually hug them since she doesn’t have her catheter anymore or any other tubes they can pull on accidentally. She did mention that yes, she does feel “something” in her chest sometimes, but she thinks it may just be ancias, or anxiousness. I hope they (the nurses) listen and give her oxygen once in a while. I’d be so pissed and will raise hell if something happens to her due to their negligence .

We ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut (again) and came home and ate with the in-laws outside. Then Big Mario told us Andy was going to come visit Noelia. This is the first time Big Mario’s met him and it went well. Like Mario said, he’s still breathing, so it went well LOL.

After sulking around complaining about how I had no FOX or UPN (I think I even said, “Those are the ONLY two channels I wanted, and I don’t have them!”, which is just a slight exaggeration LOL), Mario called the place and ordered them for me. I’m such a pain in the ass . He says I owe him $2 a month LOL.

Then later, I got into one of my moods again because there were thousands of dishes in the sink and because Mario didn’t get his work clothes together so I could throw them in the washer and I had to stay up to put them in the dryer. I need to take a chill pill . Every little thing’s been bothering me lately!

Ooh…before I forget. Eenan didn’t make it into the Gifted and Talented program, but it’s okay. He’s super smart anyway . He has, however, been acting up in class. Got time-out 3 times just yesterday. I don’t know what to do anymore to make him want to behave at school . Mary took a few hours off of work to go to Goodies for Grandparents day with him. Come to find out, he’s lost two library books. I hope we can find them. He says he just stuck one of them back into the shelf at the library. Let’s hope *crosses fingers*.

*yawn* Welp, that’s it for tonight. Hopefully I can catch up with online things tomorrow. I’m so behind it’s not even funny .

I’m in a bad mood. I was fine, until Mario called and told me he’s going to have a “few beers with the guys” again. That boy’s a beer away from becoming a damn alcoholic. Okay, maybe not, but it’s starting to bother me that they drink all the damn time. And hey, I’d like to go over there too, dammit. Eenan’s even sleeping over at Mary’s again and he (Mario) doesn’t even bother to invite me or anything…he just said he’s going over there. I told him to move in to Jorge’s buahahaha. It’s true…he may as well.

It’s also pissing me off that I can’t see any of the local channels clearly at all! We have cable, dammit. I’m trying to watch the darn news and all I see is little fuzzies and I can vaguely hear what they’re saying…I mostly hear static . The Dish Network guy’s supposed to come over on Thursday. We ordered it like 2 weeks ago. Lazy assholes.

Went to Muffins For Mama day at Eenan’s school this morning. It was kinda humid and overcast outside so it was a really nice day for a walk. Jaylen enjoyed it. We got to the school, I signed in and picked Eenan up from his classroom and then we went to the library to check out some books. They had tables set up in the courtyard with muffins, orange juice and coffee and had chairs all along the walls. The boys had muffins and juice while I read to them. It was nice. They started becoming a bit antsy about 20 minutes into it, so I finished reading the books and I took Eenan back to class. It was actually more pleasant than I had anticipated.

I also started with the crunches again. That’s the main thing I need to work on: my belleh. I need to make it a point to work out.

It started raining out of no where today so I had to run my ass outside in the POURING cold rain and cover up Mario’s Chevelle. It was horrible and I got soaked but it had to be done. I just hope water didn’t get into the darn car.

Ugh…I’m feeling nauseous for some reason. I should go since I need to take a shower, too. I’m stinky.

Thursday was spent in town all day. Ate at Burger King for breakfast (healthy! *sarcasm*), went to JCPenny for Eenan’s shoes, Target to return/exchange some things (exchanged a shirt for the Cheer Bear Cub I wanted–only to have it go on sale again this Sunday!), a shoe store who’s name I can’t remember for Mario’s shoes, Wal-Mart for house stuff, Star’s for lunch, back home so the boys (including Mario) could all take naps, spent some time outside talking to Big Mario and ooohing over the truck he bought (very cute 70’s stripes along the side!), went to RGVmag to get our “prize” since Mario answered the mystery thing correctly (and I’ll be coming out in the magazine in a few months–I looked like total crap!), stopped at Mario’s work, took Eenan for a haircut (only $3.75!), visited Mom & John for a while, went to H-E-B for groceries, picked up a pizza from Pizza Hut (our prize!), and then I got home and made mole/rice for Mario’s lunch the next day, tried watching a movie with Mario on the futon but kept dozing off, and then I went to bed. *whew* Yeah, it was as hectic as I just described .

Friday the boys and I just chilled out here and when Mario got home from work we went to Jorge’s (with only Jaylen, Eenan of course was sleeping over with his Nana). Don’t really remember much from that day…it’s a bit of a blur.

The next morning I made breakfast and saw Mario off to work then got the boys ready since we’d be going with Mary and Yazmin to watch Robots. It was too cute and funny. The boys actually sat through the whole thing and didn’t ask to go home once. When 4pm rolled around I took the meat, sausage, and fish down so it would thaw and made a chocolate cake and flan. I got myself ready and called Mary since she’d be watching the boys for us while we went to Hiram’s get-together. Mario got there and we got all the stuff we needed for the bar-be-cue together. On the way over I had this nagging feeling we forgot something. I think I told Mario twice, “I hope we didn’t forget anything”. We get there, say hi to everyone and take all the food to the kitchen. We were already late and we had the majority of the food. When taking all the ingredients out of the bag for the guacamole dip I was going to make, we realize we forgot the darn meat! He took off in a huff and came all the way back home to pick it up. I met Naomi and Eric, then later on Albert, Jannett and their baby, Alan; Frankie, and the Cat (as they call him) arrived. Joe and Hiram were already there with Jorge and Maggie. All in all it was a great night. Lots of laughs and Alan fell in love with me. I don’t think a baby I don’t know’s ever just jumped on my lap like that. He was the cutest thing with the BIGGEST eyes I’ve ever seen! Hiram got a little wasted and was being hilarious. He ended up with cake all over the place and was even spanked with a huge plank by Eric LOL. He complimented my cake and said he was impressed…that only his mom made cake that moist..aww! Maggie liked the flan…she ate half the pan by herself, no joke!

Everyone was really nice. I was a bit leery about going since there were going to be all these people I’ve never met there, because everyone (mostly the guys Mario works with) like to talk shit about the wives and how ugly/fat they are. Mario told me not to worry because I wasn’t fat/ugly and because everyone thought I was cool and not bitchy LOL. That made me feel a little bit better .

Sunday Mario was off work and we just stayed home all day long. It was so boring LOL. He made dinner that night which was Penne Pasta with spaghetti sauce, ground beef, and mushrooms mixed in. He topped it off with parmesean cheese and some spices and some garlic/parmesean bread…it was SO good.

Today was the first day back at school for Eenan. Back to the same ol’ routine…egh. He did good though…didn’t give me a hard time when he woke up or anything. ‘Open House’ was tonight and it was the first day of their book fair. Mary, Noelia, Jaylen, Eenan and I all went walking to the school. Ms. O. had nothing but nice things to say about him. He’s such a good student, I’m so proud . He went around the class showing us everything they do, where he sits, and was even showing Jaylen stuff like puzzles and their games. We went to the book fair and they got Unlovable, How Do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon? and Little Quack’s Hide and Seek. They’re all too cute, but I especially loved Unlovable. Now I want a pug .

Tomorrow they’re having “Muffins for Mom’s Day” for Public School Week at 10am. Since I won’t have a car (Mario will be at work by then) I’m taking Jaylen in his stroller and we’re going for a walk. Hopefully it’s nice out, like it was today. It’ll be good exercise.

For dinner tonight I made Chicken with a Twist, without the ‘twist’ since I used elbow macaroni (I had nothing else!). It came out pretty good–the boys even ate it. Let’s see if my toughest critic, Mario, likes it. He’s finally home from Jorge’s .

Hah, he liked it, who’da thought? I really need to go see Gramma this weekend. Mom called and told me she was very depressed and was complaining about a pain in her chest. I hope they get her checked out and that nothing’s wrong with her. I kept thinking about her and was praying she was okay. I wish I could see her more often . Okay, Jaylen’s heavy and is on my lap trying to go back to sleep so that’s my cue. Goodnight.
