Breakfast:

Lunch:
• 5 chicken flautas (don’t know how many calories, but had 1 less than the serving size) w/ Tostitos cheese – 60 cals.
• less than 1/2 C. rice
• water

Snack:
• 53 mini chocolate chip Teddy Grams – 130 cals.
• 1/2 C. milk – 75 cals.

I’m just sitting here, waiting to find out whether I’m picking Eenan up from school, of if I should call Sonia to. I actually picked him up by myself yesterday. All the other times I’ve driven to pick him up Mario was with me. I did really well .

Ah, Mary just called. Noelia won’t make it back on time so Sonia will pick him up. I can’t wait till Mario can find the time (and save up money–but that’s both of us LOL), to fix the Prelude so I can keep the Sentra here. We’re hoping to pay off Mario’s student loan and put the rest of the income tax refund on the car payment. After that, we’ll only owe 9 months or so on the Sentra. I hope it works out. The faster we pay it off, the faster we can get a new, more reliable car. These two are always breaking down on us .

On Sunday, Mario and I removed the headliner from the car. It was looking like a parachute about a month ago when the fabric started coming off for some reason, so Mario ripped it off. Now we’re going to re-cover it. It was such a pain getting it out of the door…I was praying it wouldn’t break, because that thing is non-replaceable. I dislike doing stuff like that–where I have to help Mario with something car-related–because he starts getting all bossy. I kept having to remind him, “Be nice…I don’t have to help you with this.” I hope we can get it fixed and install it without breaking it.

We were waiting around for Jorge to call so we could go over and bar-be-cue, but he never did. At around 9pm, after putting the boys to bed, Mario lights up the grill and we just chilled out outside. It was so cold that night (around 43°)! After a while, Chris arrived and we chilled out with him. We didn’t eat till 11pm, and by that time I was sleepy and tired so I only had a chicken wing and a piece of fajita.

Yesterday, I mostly did laundry and cleaned up the bedroom. Jaylen’s becoming quite a good helper . We took a nap about an hour after Mario left for work. I must have been really out of it because when I woke up, my arm was all scratched up. It was probably dangling off the side and darn Choco Cat had a field day batting it around . She’s insane, that cat. We have to close the door to the bedroom or else she’s flying on top of the beds biting everyone if there’s the slightest movement. When I’m sitting here at the computer, she’ll jump on my lap, since the computer chair is “her” bed. Most of the time though, she stabs her claws in my legs and just hangs there since she didn’t get a good grip with her hind legs. It’s quite painful. I’ve had two chances to give her away, but I’m afraid she’ll maul the new owners. She won’t do anything to my kids most of the time, only because she’s terrified of them. But still, even though I’m her human scratching post, I love her crazy ass.

I need to buy more CD-r’s to get all the crap off of my computer. Mario got all annoyed that I had like, 20gigs of music and videos and cartoons on here LOL. He does too, but of course only my stuff counts . I have but one CD left!

Gotta get some exercise, finish laundry, and clean the litter box and the bunny’s pan (well, he’s not a bunny anymore, he’s HUGE!). Then I gotta do dishes. Will be back later.
