My gorgeous girl is 4-years-old today :’). I can’t believe it: FOUR!! She starts pre-k next year. I still remember taking her everywhere with me when she was tiny. She was my little buddy *sniff*.

Had a little party for her yesterday at Peter Piper, which she calls Chuck-e-Cheese lol. Just my closest people :). Our brood had a blast together; their first time since Halloween! It was wonderful watching them play together :’).

Although I didn’t make Aly’s My Little Pony cake exactly as she wanted (and they changed them to some anime-looking ponies), I made her one anyway and everyone loved it!

I just recently succeeded in weaning her from warm milk (yes, BARELY) but her dad and I finally got on the same page and it’s working. Next is no more sippy cups and– I’m apologizing in advance in case you ever read this, Aly–the wiping of her own bootie, heh. Forgot to tell her dad about that one…

Anyway, things are as good as they can be right now. As for work, I’m trying to get all entries and payments for the food festival. This is my very own event, not something I inherited, so I hope it’s successful. It’s in 2 Thursdays…eek!!

Trying to get back into some kind of exercise routine. We started walking last weeek and got busy towards the end of the week so we didn’t continue. Argh lol.

Hmmm…wonder how much longer I have to wait here…gonna read my book on my Nook app. Picking up the kiddos later and celebrate Aly’s birthday, maybe with some ice cream? I’ll get something low-cal. Maybe.

It’s hilarious how some people completely forget what awful, lying, cheating, cold-hearted people they were. All of a sudden they care and love and hurt (and believe in GOD! Wow!) and have somehow acquired Alzheimer’s and think they’re exempt from everything. It’s laughable and pathetic ;).

Ah, technology. Although I don’t have internet access at this apartment (because it just so happens to be located in the most populated “middle of nowhere”) I’m writing on Notepad and then transferring to my EVO, where I can then upload to my blog. Lovely, isn’t it?!

I *could* just type up an entry on the EVO itself but it takes forever with those KEYS. I wish there was an external keyboard like the iPad has!

I’m missing my kiddos like crazy. They’re with their dad this weekend so it’s been an awkward, boring Saturday. Been trying to keep myself as busy as possible, because otherwise I start thinking about things too much. I paid a few bills in the morning, tried looking for dress pants at Old Navy (which is never a successful trip because it’s incredibly hard to find “4 Short” there, grr), but I found some skinny jeans to wear with my boots for only $8! Also, a scarf for $0.97 and two lace-trimmed camis for $2 each. I LOVE Old Navy sales :).

I went to the mall and wasted time there after making a payment and dropping off the honey. Then–since I hadn’t eaten breakfast and it was already noon–I picked up a Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks (which tasted awful, I must say) and my favorite: a blueberry streusel muffin.

Got home, messed with my phone for a while I talked to John for a bit, who is getting over an awful flu. That poor boy has got the worst immune system on the planet.

Went to Walmart with Mom after that. I hate going to that place. I always run into people (most who are related to HIM) and have to get into an uncomfortable conversation about “what happened”. I don’t know if it’s because it’s Hispanic tradition or WHAT, but I got the, “But WE’VE been fighting for 35 years and WE’RE still together!”

Well, I’m happy for you. I’d rather not be miserable my whole life. I already went through that for 13 years, kthx.

(I just sat back on my ISO-COOL pillow and you know, they’re not very nice when it’s raining and 55° outside and the house is cold)
.
Anyway. Mom ordered us some El Pato after grocery shopping. Man, I really need to start eating healthy again. I did good and only had 2 enchiladas instead of 3 and I left over half of the rice and beans, though! 😛

I read some more of “Mini Shopaholic” from my Nook app and then I updated my iTouch, finally, and added lyrics to a few songs. Picked up my babe from work, dropped him off then came home and updated my iTouch some more. Forced myself to get up and make myself a strawberry, mandarin orange, cranberry & walnut salad and heated up a crab cake (which I only ate half of). I WAS watching “Julie and Julia” but I got my usual bout of A.D.D. and started blogging.

And now I’m getting sleepy. Which is good. If I can just pass out already it’ll keep my mind from wandering and worrying.
