Yesterday was a pretty eventful day–meaning we got everything that we needed to do, done.
I woke up migraine-free, thank goodness. First thing we did was go to the storage unit to get the bed frame, headboard and twin bed box spring for Eenan’s bed. Mom isn’t using them and said we could use them for Eenan whenever we wanted. Since we took down Eenan and Jaylen’s bulky bunk bed about two months ago, we had Eenan’s mattress on the floor, so we decided it was about time we set up the bed.
After getting the bed stuff, we drove over to Aunt Nora’s to pick up John’s car so he can practice driving while he’s here. It’ll be much easier to get used to turns and the expressway where we live. Darn car wouldn’t turn on for a good 15 minutes until Mario messed around with something under the hood and then it roared to life. I drove home with John and Jaylen while Mario followed with Eenan in the van. When we got home he lectured me about how I was going 15 over the speed limit 
. Phooey.
Mario had a few things to do at work, so while he was gone I started on lunch. Beef tacos with the works, yum 
! He got back and we started working on the bed. It looked really nice!
The kids had swimming lessons at 6 again, so we went. Mario got to catch up a little with Michael. Eenan did really well. Session 1 ends on June 9. We’re thinking of taking him back to Session 2–I think Eenan will definetly learn to swim if we take him to all the sessions. Jaylen wasn’t really doing what Michael was telling him to do, so Michael just played along and let Jaylen have fun. We’re not sure if we should take him back for the next Session or not, but I’ll ask Michael or Jorge if they think he’d do better. I’d feel bad leaving him at home with Mary while Eenan’s out having fun 
. I think we may take him back anyway. It’s only $15 for each of them. It’ll probably be the only thing they get to do this summer anyway, what with Mario working the hours he does and all 
.
After the kids’ lessons, we went to Wal-Mart to pick out a bed set for Eenan’s new bed. I really wanted to get Eenan this but we decided to check Wal-Mart first (since it’s much closer than Target), and if he didn’t like anything there then we’d go to Target. He picked out the Star Wars comforter and sheet set, which are really cute. Mario liked it so much he wanted one for our bed 
. Here’s what Eenan’s bed looked like when we were done:
Needless to say, he got a restful night’s sleep. He didn’t wake up once!
I really would have liked to have the shams for Eenan’s bed, too, but I didn’t see any at all.
We’ll be getting Jaylen’s little toddler bed a new set, too. We haven’t gotten him one in a while. I just dislike that they hardly have anything nice for toddler beds . He’s leaning towards the Spongebob Toddler Set. I just don’t like that the sheets are white!
All we got him was a new crib sheet, which is blue. We were getting him a microfiber Batman Pillow, but since we were using the self-checkout and the darn pillow didn’t have a barcode (just our luck!), we had to leave it behind. He woke up in the middle of the night and screamed, “My pillow! Where’s my pillow?!” Poor little guy; I felt so bad!
Gonna tidy up now and hopefully get a chance to surf the ‘net a bit more today. I have more laundry to do today. I don’t know what’s going on! Never have I had to wash so many times during a week 
.
) and he actually enjoyed it. He kept making comments of course, like how C3P0 is gay, but he liked it for the most part. I was surprised. 
. The mistakes I made (like missing a turn he takes to get there) all stemmed from him making me drive a different route to Aunt Nora’s…I had no idea where I was going. Had he let me go the way I know how to get there, things would have been peachy. He ended up yelling at me and bringing money into the argument–which was totally off subject and uncalled for. I didn’t talk to him the whole way home. He stopped at one of the convenient stores near the house and brought brownies and ice cream and bribbed me with this:
. We made peace after that but not before I let him know what an ass he’d been and how he made me feel. I hate when we fight
