Inclement Weather

We returned all the supplies we’d bought to re-do the bathroom floor yesterday, after all. We were never going to do it and nobody was going to have time to help us, so yeah. I guess it’s better though. Since we got everything on our Home Depot card and returned it, we only owe $7 on our Regular balance. The rest ($300) is the promotional “no interest or payment for 12 months”, which is awesome because there’s no pressure to pay it off :). We’ll eventually do it, fixing the floor. Maybe next income tax refund time.

It started getting cloudy last night and eventually drizzled a little. Alaethia, for some reason unbeknownst to me, didn’t fall asleep till after 2am last night. I like to cuddle her when I’m giving her her before-bed bottle because I love that closeness, but she was just impossible last night. Mario was out at Chris’ last night and didn’t get home till late and she was STILL awake. I was already half asleep while she was still happily kicking away so I told him to just lay her in her crib. About 10 minutes later, after she’d rolled in circles all around her crib, she surrendered. Needless to say I didn’t feel like doing anything in the morning. It sucks waking up again at 7:30 to get Mario’s stuff ready for work after sleeping in till 11am every morning for a week. I got Mario’s clothes ironed and since he woke up late too and only had 10 minutes to get ready, he left and I went back to bed. Mom wanted to be in town bright and early, but I told her I just couldn’t. I ended up sleeping in till 11 and only woke up because Mary called. I got to eat breakfast and take a shower in peace; Alaethia slept in till 1:15pm! I kept checking up on her to check if she was still breathing, no joke. It freaks me out when she sleeps for long stretches like that. Too bad she sleeps in those long stretches only after I’m awake.

We didn’t end up going to town or to see Gramma because it started pouring. Instead, Mom stayed with the kiddos while I went with Yazmin and everyone to pick out Yazmin’s Quinceañera stuff. We spent a good 2 and a half hours there and came home.

I ripped my CDs onto the iPod for a good hour, then Noelia and Andy came over to open up their gifts they received at their wedding. They got in from their honeymoon at Disneyworld today and poor things had their luggage lost. I wonder if they went to pick it up at 8pm like they told them to?

They got lots of good stuff, and as it usually happens, 2 toasters and about 4 slow cookers LOL. They packed up the rest of Noelia’s things from her room, which is really sad since everyone’s so used to all her stuff being there. The kids miss her terribly, but they’ve called Dibs on her bedroom already. They’re sleeping over there tonight.

We chilled out for a while at Mary’s with everyone and made plans for the 4th. We’re having burgers and hot dogs and apple pie a la mode! Yum! I love the Fourth of July :). We need to go see Gramma, too, since it’s her birthday as well.

I am so darn sleepy, but I’m getting to the end of The Half-Blood Prince and I really want to finish it soon. I might just eat some of that banana split Mary bought me today that I forgot about so I can stay awake. Yes, I am aware that it’s 11:30pm. But Aly’s not ready to fall asleep and what better way to spend a thundery, rainy night than reading with a nice bowl of ice cream?!
