Jorge and I woke up around noon, only because the sun was shining through my closed eyelids. I squinted at my phone: 12:01pm. NICE. I hadn’t slept that long in a while! Either we have to work, have kiddos to feed or the cat’s meowing to be fed. But it was Sunday: no work, kiddos are with the other parents, and Ruffles’ bowl was full :).

Mom greeted us as we groggily passed by the living room in PJs. “Morning, mija. Made you guys some coffee.” Wonderful woman!

I prepared our coffees as Jorge sat at the breakfast table. We knew what we were having for breakfast/lunch: leftover shrimp from last night’s dinner!

We totally wanted to have Red Mango, so we ate light. I only had about 5 little shrimp. I’d bought 2 of those Deal of the Day coupons ($10 for $6) and we need to use them before they expire.

We showered, got ready, and Jorge took a short nap while I fixed my hair. Big mistake: he woke up grumpy . He was less than cheery when I realized I hadn’t shaved my legs and had to run back inside to change into jeans buahaha.

It was 105, ugh. I’m glad we were going for some cool yogurt. I’m not sure I like that Red Mango; it’s self-serve so you serve yourself way too much and then they weigh it and charge you by the ounce. We ended up spending a full $10 anyway!

Oh, but it was delicious!

I’m always wary of writing openly about Jorge and I, especially when we have an argument, since there are a couple of RL lurkers who’d revel in the fact that we indeed fight at times. But, since being added to that group on Facebook and giving it some thought, I decided I wasn’t going to hold back: I want to write about the good and the bad, like I always have. (Perhaps, in my past marriage I should have written more about the bad times instead of sugar-coating so much.)

So with that being said, Jorge was still a bit moody and made several comments here and there. When we got in the car and were almost home he said something, something I can’t remember, but he was rude and snapped at me. That was it. I retorted, “Quit being rude! I can only take so much of your bad mood before it rubs off on me.” He answers, “I don’t even know what I said!” And we both sat in silence and stewed the rest of the drive home. He went straight to the bedroom and I followed, much slower, leaving my purse on the table. When I got to the bedroom the door was locked. I told him to open it, he did reluctantly. I went to the bathroom, came back out and went to the living room. I walked back to the bedroom and plopped myself next to him and put my head on his shoulder. I felt him soften up. He said, “I’m sorry I was rude.” I nodded that it was ok. He asks, “Do you love me?” I answer yes. Then we laughed at the 80’s karate movie he was watching. And we were fine :). I hate when we argue, but I love that we can talk and get over it quickly.

We made plans to watch a movie, after dinner. We headed to Taco Palenque with mom a while later, her treat. It was GREAT. And all the food I’d been eating the past two days reminded me of this pin:

*sigh*

We stopped by HEB afterwards to get some drinks and stopped at the Red Box to get “Haywire” and “The Immortals”.

We watched “Haywire” first. OMG. I wanted to kick someone’s ass afterwards! It was a bit confusing, but it was a good movie. The next one was a little long, but it was good, too. I couldn’t believe we actually managed to watch 2 movies without one of us falling asleep LOL. By the time we knew it it was 11pm. I showered and fell asleep pretty quickly. And when I felt like I’d slept too much I woke up, and thank God, too, because I’d set the alarm wrong!

It was a long day, same-ol-same-ol. Nothing exciting. I met my love and his friends at Dai Tung for lunch. I had already looked up calorie counts on myfitnesspal so I knew exactly what I was getting LOL.

I found a parking space right away, our food came right away and we laughed and ate. It’s always nice seeing him for lunch; makes the day go by a tad faster :).

The afternoon went by, I wrote out at least 75 PO’s (no, really) and then I got home and had a chat with my babies. Can’t wait for them to be home on Wednesday!! Now it’s time to make dinner and then we’ll see what the evening brings :).

[edit 9:59pm] Oh yes, movie night! Again, hehe :D. “The Woman in Black” and:

I have about a month’s worth of entries pending, but if I keep updating weekly for only a week at a time then I’m never going to catch up. So, since I have tomorrow off (yay!), the girls are at Mario’s this weekend so I have no one to bathe or drop off in the morning (super weird), Jorgie & Justin are sleeping and Jorge is being entertained by a Van Damme movie, I figured why not update on time for once? 🙂

I went to sleep earlyish last night after our BBQ. I woke up at 9am when Ruffles was chattering at a fly and I couldn’t go back to sleep. I sat up in bed just in time to watch him jump 5 feet in the air, smacked the fly, caught it and then ate it. My own personal fly swatter :). Just remind me not to kiss him on the nose anymore .

My love was still sleeping soundly so I checked Facebook and then I checked on my site. I was greeted by loud yellow and red text and a black background. My website was hacked! By a supposed Bangladeshi group. First time in 10+ years with this domain that my site has actually been hacked. There was that one time some idiot attempted to hack my site a few months ago, but he was totally busted–and who knows, maybe this was related to that somehow–but wow. Someone took the time to hack me LOL. I’m glad this group was nice enough to leave everything intact, though .

(more…)

It occurred to me today, as Michelle and I sat at the front desk, that today marks exactly one month till my 30th birthday! 30 days left of my 20’s. I can’t say I’m panicking, or that I feel sad about it. I feel younger than I have in years, and Jaylen says I look 23 so I’ll take it! 😀

It’s been a super relaxing week at work. I’m at the reception desk all week so I’ve spent it answering calls, taking messages, preparing certificates (still), and playing Words By Post with my Babe and Jr. whenever I get a minute throughout the day 😛 Sure does make the time go by fast, thank goodness. I’m proud to announce that I’ve beaten Jorge 12 of 14 games hehe.

I got out a little early yesterday to rush home, change and make sure the kids had dinner and were ready for the movies. We picked up Jorge and headed to Carmike. We made it just on time, got our tickets; got good, albiet close, seats and got all the kids their drinks, popcorn and candy. We were a little skeptical about how things may pan out with 6 kids at the movies, but things went smooth as can be :). They were all well behaved and into “The Lorax”, and the girls only had 1 potty break :).

We got home and the kids played while Jorge and I rushed around sweeping and vacuuming. He finished while I made dinner. We lazied around with the kiddos while we watched The Voice and played Words By Post :P.

I’ve gotten a chance to have lunch with my love this week. We don’t get to anymore since I use my lunch hour to pick up Aly from school, so we’re taking advantage this week, hehe. We’ve had Espi & T’s twice. My fave :).

I got Friday off to spend with the kiddos. Let’s see if we can find something fun and inexpensive to do :). It’s been great having them all home . I don’t think they’d seen sunlight since Monday. I told them all to go outside and spend a few minutes getting some sun while I make dinner (chicken Alfredo). Glad it’s getting dark later now. Really need to get them a swing set or SOMETHING. They’re happy playing tag and climbing trees right now though :).
