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.

Having lunch at work since I don’t have a lunch date. I took 20 minutes longer to eat than I should have and I’m shaking like a leaf due to low sugar. I hate that >_<. The conversation was too good with a co-worker of mine, which is why I took long. She gets my situation and somewhat went through something similar. Sometimes I still blame myself for everything, but I know I shouldn't. It's nice to just talk about it with someone sometimes without being judged. I can't wait for the day to be over. My throat is feeling worse. I *know* I'm getting sick because all I can picture is snuggling up in my bed and going to sleep; never do that otherwise. But I can't! Gotta pick up the remaining babies (Jaylen's going to the party after all; being picked up by his friend's dad) and spend the evening with them. Gotta figure out what to make for dinner. I got about 20 minutes left of my lunch hour. Hmm...should I read or look for a theme for WP? I'm hoping to update my site this weekend. HOPING.

So I find out this morning that we are indeed working the whole day. I’d already made plans with the kids to take them to Aaron’s (Norma’s son) birthday party at Peter Piper today. I was going to do some grocery shopping right after working and then go straight to pick them up. Well, not happening. Now I have to call Norma and see what’s up and that she can pick up Jaylen after all and break it to the other kids that I’m not getting out till 5 and probably won’t even make it to the party. By the time I get to Mario’s, pick them up and go back to Mission we’ll be at the party for 30 minutes, if that. And I can already *hear* THOSE lovely people making up wild stories how I broke plans with the kids because I’m out clubbing. At 1pm. Or something similarly as stupid.

Argh. This sucks. I don’t see the point in staying all day. I can’t even do what I need to do at work (confirm invitations are received by restaurants) because all the bosses/managers/owners have been out on vacation for the past 2 weeks. So frustrating >_<. And it's tough because another city also has a Food Festival coming up. I hope this thing is super successful. It would suck if it's not, especially since it's my event. It's not just one that I inherited like the other 2 =\. And my throat's starting to hurt to top it off. I BETTER not be sick on New Year's Eve!! I slept over 8 hours and I still feel tired and crappy. The morning didn't start out too good, but at least everything was resolved before work. Gonna be a long day, but I better make the best of it. I don't want to be in this mood!
