I hate how I can never take a nap in this place.

I tried taking a nap, and all I ended up with was a headache due to broken sleep. Either the TV was too loud, Eenan and Brandon would come in and start playing, I could hear the front door opening and closing, or someone needed me for something. You really can’t take a nap when you’re a parent. Silly of me to even try .

I’ve been waking up super early to drop Mary off at work the past two days because her van was still in the shop. That, and school has really been burning me out. I’ve never felt so tired in my life!

Excel’s progressively getting more and more confusing. There’s so many steps to take to do something, and like I’ve mentioned before, the teacher spends so much time getting the “other side” of the class on track, that by the time we get back to the lesson (literally 15 minutes or so later, sometimes more), I forget what we already learned. Today for example, a few people got “lost” copying/pasting a URL into the browser and then importing it to Excel. HOW can you not understand how to do that? If they’d actually pay attention, they wouldn’t get lost. Grr. Poor Mrs. C-R….she’s got loads of patience. I would have yelled by now. .

On a lighter note, Lucy treated Ricci and I to lunch today at Jack In the Box. Hadn’t eaten there in forever and it was nice sitting, eating and laughing. I hope I can treat them next week .

Ooh I can see the kittens wadding inside their box . They’re two weeks old now and are clumsily crawling around and are opening their little eyes. They’re too cute. Their soft, baby, downy fur is so soft; I love cuddling them but Brushka gets angry if we handle them too much. I can’t help it, though!

*yawn* I need to get started on dinner and I have no idea what to make. It’s gotta be something with chicken, since I haven’t made chicken. Hmm…

I’ve had a pretty eventful week & weekend. I had loads to do all week after school, as always. There’s always some errand I have to run. All I crave is some downtime…and for the next 3 hours I’m planning to just do absolutely nothing but surf the net (and then I have to go to the mall with John, pick Mom up, go visit Gramma at the nursing home, then pick up Mario from work and drop Mom off at her house).

Friday was pretty awesome, well, the first half of it anyway. We finished up our internet assignment (regarding Macros in Excel) the first two periods, then after the break we did a survey online. It was more of a personality quiz, really. Turns out I’m an Includer, Achiever, Strategic, Focused, and Contextual (meaning I look back to the past and better myself from it). Our group were among the first to finish (Lucy, Mayra, Ricci, and myself) so we got to leave extra early; 10:45 to be exact . It was perfect since we had a lunch date at Red Lobster. Jennifer and Rolando also joined us. It was really nice and I hope we can do it again soon, except next time we’re planning to go to the Olive Garden. Yum! It’s so nice to have friends to chill out with .

Ricci and I went to Wal-Mart where I was to find a DVD Mary wanted for her birthday. I didn’t find it there, so I called Mario (who was eating with Jose, Elda and Mary at a restaurant) to tell him they didn’t have it. He gets all mad and tells me to go back. I tell him to go since he’s on his way anyway; I had a horrible migraine. But he didn’t, and I didn’t so he was angry at me all day. We made up later during Mary’s get together, but I still felt bad about it most of the day.

Mary’s birthday was nice. The whole family was here, well, except Jorge , but she did talk to him on the phone. Later that night, we went to visit Isaac and then went to Jorge and Maggie’s and chilled out for a bit. All we could talk about was hurricane Katrina. It’s just so horrible what the people over there are going through.

I went to the movies with Mary, Elda, Sonia, and Noelia yesterday morning. We watched The Exorcism of Emily Rose. I thought it was such a good movie, but I’m biased since I love movies like that. It wasn’t scary, for me anyway, but there were two parts that startled me.

After the movies, we went to Target, where they had such cute scrapbooking and Halloween stuff in the Dollar Spot! After we finished up there, we went to eat at Chick-fil-A and talked about the movie and how there’s real-life situations like that. Mary was talking about premonitions that she gets and I told them about how every time I dream of teeth, someone dies. Creepy.
