Mario never got home. I just want to take a shower and go to bed, but I’ll be damned if I leave the kids here alone, whether I lock the door or not.

That prank-caller called again last night. Or this morning, I should say. It was 3:16 when I first heard my cell phone ringing. At first I thought, “Great. I bet it’s that idiot calling again.” Then I thought, “What if it’s a friend or relative and it’s an emergency!”

I run and grab the phone just as it stopped ringing. I flip the phone open and my heart sinks when I see that it was indeed the prank-caller. PRIVATE it says on the display. How I hate seeing that word on my phone.

I couldn’t sleep after that. I kept hearing these noises, then Rocko started barking and thought, ‘What if this psycho finds out where I live?’ The first thing I think about is the kids; I’d kill anyone who tried to hurt my kids. I was freaking out so much that it took me about an hour to finally get up and go pee.

I don’t know why someone would want to bug me like this. What’s the point? To scare me? Yeah, you succeeded in that, but what the hell are you getting out of it?

I would love to know who the hell it is. I got that thing I was waiting for from Sprint, to retrieve the number, but it’s so much trouble! I wish they’d just tell me who this person is.

So yeah, that’s why I’m waiting for Mario. It’s already 11:30 and he never got here. He said he’d be here for dinner and instead went to Jorge’s. One thing’s for sure: I’m not serving him his darn dinner. He can do it himself. I’m stressed enough, thank you.

This evening’s been a stressful one. The boys started acting up at the same time. They got clumps of Mario’s Zest in their hair that took forever to get out (after they washed it with their baby shampoo). My chicken didn’t come out as flavorful as I thought it would. I had to make Mario extra lunch for tomorrow since the chicken wasn’t enough for dinner and lunch. I have tons more laundry to fold/hang and nowhere to hang it. I used the last of our “meats” so I have to go buy food tomorrow whether I want to or not. Either that, or I can make spaghetti tomorrow night without meatballs and go to the groceries after Mom’s appointment on Thursday. Yeah, that sounds like a plan.

Well, I called Mario again to see where he was and he said, “I’ll be there when I’ll be there.” Oh, really? Apparently Jorge needs help setting up his precious surround sound. Doesn’t he have Hiram to do that?

I’m NOT in a good mood.

I’ve still got a lot to learn about WordPress! First, I thought I hadn’t gotten any comments in the past week, only to find a whole bunch of them waiting to be “moderated”! I didn’t think you guys liked me anymore *cries*. So, before I actually “found” all my missing comments I wrote a comment, just to check if it worked. It did, so I THOUGHT I erased my comment only to find out I deleted the WHOLE POST I’d just written about this weekend! ARGH! I’m a nimrod.

A turbo-summary:

Saturday – Had my boys and Mom in tow. Went to Target, bought both presents. REALLY cute baby stuff. Wanted to throw everything into cart. Restrained myself. Left to party. Found party only after driving about 2 miles more than I should have. Mom was right–had to turn around and go East. Paul & Norma’s kids are gorgeous and huge! Caught up. They moved to Dad’s street. Hope to visit soon. Kids behaved well. Had fun.

Next party was in Pharr. Opposite side of town. Found the place with no problem. Had salad only this time. Kids played. Itzel (Mrs. C-R) is 6 months along and looking really cute with her belly. Kids got lots of tickets since machines kept breaking. Left party.

Visited Gramma. She’s doing better. Can eat with no problem again. Left Gramma’s. Went to Wal-Mart. Kids wanted plastic soldiers and we couldn’t find any (WTF?). Got groceries, Mom bought the baby his/her very first outfit (a yellow gown with duckies and teddy bear slippers, aww!). Went home, made sandwiches with Mario for dinner. Went to sleep. Exhausted.

Sunday – Woke up late since I was tired. Mario was out washing the truck (on Father’s Day!). Tried to help. He hates my car-washing skills. I was put in charge of water hose. Too late to buy barbacoa from Aziz. Mary invited us to eat beef stew. Chilled out, watched TV. Helped Mary babysit Matthew, Angela and Yazmin. Picked up “boneless buffalo wings” from Pizza Hut. They weren’t wings, they were chicken nuggets. Poor kids couldn’t eat right since they were spicy. Yadira came for girls and Matthew. Kids went to Mary’s. Mario and I went to Star’s for ice cream. Got soldiers for kids at Family Dollar. Chilled out at home again. I made dinner. We ate. Eenan slept over at Mary’s. Jaylen, Mario and I went to Jorge and Maggie’s. We had a good chat. Nice seeing them after so long. Got home, cuddled, went to bed.

*whew* Stupid me. I can’t believe I did that! *slaps forehead*
