First, Happy 18th Birthday to John!

Also, pixydust.net’s reached over 100,000 visitors! Thank you so much to all who’ve stuck with me for so long and a big thanks to my new visitors .

This is nice. Getting home from picking Eenan up and doing absolutely nothing. Usually, we’d get home, cool off (we live in south Texas so even though we have the air conditioner in the car on ‘High’ our skin still feels like it’s melting off our bones), then I’d help Eenan with his homework–which would usually last an hour since he’d get frustrated/lazy. Now, since it’s his last week of school and they have no homework, we just get home and relax. *content*

I’m crossing my fingers that Mario will be up to going to the beach next Sunday. Or one of the Thursdays. I want to beat the college/high school crowds, and the unbearable 105° heat, so I want to go sooner than later. I want to get a cute skirt or capris before we go though . Problem with capris is, I’m so SHORT that all the ones I’ve tried on so far fit me like regular jeans .

Noelia and Andy want to go to Sea World soon and want us to accompany them. I want to go, because that’ll probably be the only place we’ll go this summer if we go at all. It’s going to be hard convincing Mario to go. He told Big Mario on Sunday that they asked him if he wanted his vacations yet, and he said no! He said all the other guys had to wait a year before they got theirs, and it wouldn’t be fair to them if he got them when he’s only been there 8 months. I was like . The difference between him and some (not all) of the guys that have been there is that he works his ass off! That’s why they’re probably giving him his vacation time already. But I don’t know. We’ll only need 2 days to go. He can maybe trade one of his Thursdays for someone who works on a Saturday. Then we can leave Friday night, we’ll have Saturday to be in San Antonio, spend a little bit of time there Sunday and come back Sunday night. Gotta run that by him soon. *crosses fingers*

I want to have a fun summer. I want the boys to enjoy themselves. I don’t want to be cooped up in the house for two months. John and I need to figure out exactly when we’ll be getting our licenses. I know he needs a bit more practice (shit, I do, too…I’m still skurred!), but hopefully soon. I’d drive much more comfortably if I had a license in my wallet. The cops here will stop you for every little thing, and that makes me REALLY nervous.

I need to figure out what to make for dinner and Mario’s lunch. Blah. I have absolutely no idea what to make anymore and it doesn’t help we need groceries! I appologized last night for making the same things over and over again and he replied with, “I don’t mind. I love your food.” Aww . That’s the way to my heart right there–compliment my cooking. He was telling me about how Albert, his co-worker, was jealous of the meatloaf and homemade mashed potatoes I made him a few days ago. Mario said Albert called his wife, Jannett, before he went home and asked if she knew how to make meatloaf and mashed potatoes. He heard him say, very sadly, “Oh, okay. No, no, that’s fine.” Aww LOL. Mario needs to get a few hours off on Friday night for John’s graduation, and since Albert’s in charge that night we’re planning to bribe him with some meatloaf, mashed potatoes, corn and lasagna since he likes how I make that, too LOL.

Ah yes, it’s that time of the day where Jaylen cries for no reason at all, which means he’s due for a nap…

(more…)

ROFL…twice people have found my site by searching for “teen ass” and “cute teen ass”. Nice LOL.

Anyway, new layout! If you’re still seeing the old one, click here. I’ve been dying to go to the beach (before the heat gets even worse) and I’ve been really into these colors lately so here we go.

John was here all weekend so I wasn’t completely bored. We ended up watching Star Wars III with Sonia (I’ve got connections ) 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.

I watched Monster-in-Law on Saturday morning. I thought it was really cute and felt so grateful that Mary and I get along so well. I cried, not only because of a sad part in the movie but because I was thinking how horrible it would be to have a mother-in-law like Jane Fonda’s character LOL.

John was supposed to go driving, but didn’t. I, on the other hand, drove when we took him home. Mario was having little attacks because I “wasn’t driving right”, which means I wasn’t driving like a maniac like him . 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:

How could I resist that?!?! That was totally unfair. I wasn’t mad at him as long as I would have liked to be . 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 .

This is Eenan’s last week of school. In a way, I’m thrilled that I won’t have to wake up so early (I’ll still have to wake up at 7:45-8am to make breakfast and iron Mario’s clothes for work, so it’s not like I’m waking up super late, but it is better than 6:45!) but now he’ll be home all day and Eenan + Jaylen + 24 hours together = disaster! I can feel my blood pressure rising already…

Revenge of the Sith was THE BEST! It was incredible. I won’t go into detail for those who haven’t seen it yet, but man, you’ve GOT to see it. The boys had a great time. Jaylen fell asleep halfway through (as always) but loved what he got to see and Eenan just adored it. He kept commenting and laughing during the funny parts. There was one “gorey” part, where Mario had to quickly reach over and shield his eyes, but nothing else really bothered him.

Negative Things:
– arguing with Mario, openly in front of the kids, about finances on the way over there
– ending up at the wrong theatre because I forgot which one we were going to *slaps self*
– hearing Mario complain about how we were going to get crappy seats because of my navigational mistake
– Eenan having a pee-pee accident =\
– Mario having to get out of line to wait for me (the boys went with Sonia, Noey, and Andy) since I hadn’t had a chance to go pee yet because of Eenan’s accident

Positive Things:
– We got back in line right away
– We got REALLY good seats!
– The boys were incredibly well-behaved
– The movie rocked!
– Mario and I made peace 😛

After the movie we went to Aunt Nora’s. There, we talked with John about getting our driver’s licenses together and he’s going to come over today to practice his turns and stuff. We discussed the plan of action–what he’s doing over the summer. After he gets his license he’ll be driving Mom to work and back since she has to go in at night now and Aunt Nora can’t drive at night. During the day (while Mom’s at work) he can go around and fill out applications at places. If he hopefully gets a job, he’ll work and Mom will quit. That’ll go on till I can figure something out. I was thinking maybe after Jaylen starts school I can drop him off with her when he gets out (or before he goes in, depending on what time of day he’ll be attending Pre-K) and pay her for babysitting him while I take a few classes. That’s my goal for next year–getting my license (this year) and then starting school. I can’t wait really.

As for today, I have lots of stuff to do around the house. I hardly did anything yesterday since I was messing around with the website. I had to make myself a list last night in order to get things done! How sad is that? If I don’t have a list, I’m completely lost . I’ll probably have to do that today.

And, speaking of the site, I installed the Plugboard. It didn’t use a database . For some reason, when I tried installing it before, I thought it used one, heh. Thinking it needed one is what scared me away from trying to install it. I’m so lazy when it comes to learning new “web” stuff, it’s pathetic.

Okay, breakfast is ready and it smells delicious!
