I’m so proud of myself *beams*. I actually installed PHPClique to my Lil’ Mama Clique. I totally messed up the first try (I don’t even know HOW–it came with instructions!), but I started over and everything went smoothly. Now to add it to Nostalgic Sparkles (shameless plugs, I know ). I need to make a new layout first and convert to PHP. I’ll save that for some other day, though.

Eenan’s field trip was today. They went to watch Kicking and Screaming and then ate at Peter Piper Pizza. I was so worried, what with all the kidnappings that have been going on, but he’s here, in one piece and he had a great time .

Today’s Yadira’s birthday, so we’re gathering at her house for a get-together. I’m so exhausted. I was cleaning (or tried to) during the day and it didn’t help that Mario woke me up at 4am and then 5:45am to “cuddle”. The first time wasn’t happening because (and I’m not kidding) 2 minutes into it Jaylen woke up . It’s like those boys know when we’re about to canoodle.

We went grocery shopping yesterday and thankfully got all we needed and stayed within our budget. Mario’s paycheck is almost all gone, and I don’t even know how that happened! We didn’t even indulge in anything this time. I need to make a list of bills that were paid and our spending and see if it adds up *scratches head*.

Okay, I guess I should stop stalling and start getting ready. But I don’t wanna. I’m tiiiiirred!

I’m not usually (too into) celebrity gossip and whatnot, but since I had to do my searches for my Netbux account and I’d read on various blogs about how gangly and unhealthy Lindsay Lohan looked, I searched for Lindsay Lohan pictures. Since Mario is CRAZY about her and would have a shrine dedicated to her if I let him (and if the kids wouldn’t ask “Why does Dad have a picture of a lady on the computer”, like when he had Christina Aguilera on his desktop before her horrific makeover), I was even more curious to see how his “lady” has changed. I was completely shocked when I found these:

It doesn’t even look like her anymore! And her boobs…where’d they go? Does this mean they’re actually real and shrunk when she lost the weight? I heard rumors that she had her implants taken out and had smaller ones put in because Disney said her boobs were too big for their movies? I’ve heard she’s on crack, and well, with the way she parties I wouldn’t put it past her. It’s so sad how easily these Hollywood girls are swayed into making bad choices. I just can’t see what’s so “sexy” about being so skeletal.

The last two pictures are from thesuperficial.com. You can read their article here. I don’t know where the first one’s from, forgive me.

I caught the kids’ cold. Actually, I caught a cold that was even worse than the boys’. I got a fever, and chills–the works. I went to Mexico (Reynosa) with Mary and Noelia and the boys on Wednesday (got some birth control pills !) and shared a Dr. Pepper with Eenan. Sure enough, the next morning I woke up with a sore throat (they didn’t even get a sore throat!).

Mario had Thursday off and Mom needed to be picked up from her Opthamologist, where she was picking up her new glasses, so we went for her around 9:30. After picking her up, she treated us to lunch at Taco Olè in Mission. I ordered some of the best cheese enchiladas I’ve ever eaten in my life. Sad thing was I couldn’t even enjoy them since my throat was on fire by then. We dropped her off after that. I chilled out for a while while Mario napped and then I went to pick Eenan up from school. We were going to bar-be-cue that night so I got everything ready while Mario got the pit ready. I made what was possibly the best rice I’ve ever made, Mario grilled the drumsticks and ribs and marinated them in bar-be-cue sauce, we had baked potatoes smothered in cheese–everything was delicious, and of course, I couldn’t enjoy it .

The next morning I woke up feeling lethargic but forced myself to drop Eenan off. I ironed Mario’s clothes and then laid on the couch. He kept smiling at me sympathetically since he’s not used to seeing me thrown on the couch in a helpless heap. I didn’t even make him breakfast that morning–that’s how tired I was. I’m sort of glad in a way that everything hit me at once: runny nose, sore throat, cough, aches and pains–because I’m pretty much just putting up with the cough and phlem now (ick!). Usually, my colds last for days. I’m hoping this one’s over soon *crosses fingers*. I’m so grateful that Noelia brought me Day and Nyquil, Mary brought me antibiotics, Big Mario watched the boys for me most of the afternoon while I slept my cold off (I couldn’t stay awake at all) and then Mario brought dinner (pizza and breadsticks!) and movies. We watched Spanglish which I thought was really cute .

Today I just paid bills and went grocery shopping with Mary, Yazmin and the boys and then we watched Are We There Yet?. I was gritting my teeth at all the crazy things the kids in the movie did LOL. The boys actually sat through it. They’re getting better at watching “movie” movies; we couldn’t get them to sit still if we were watching something other than a cartoon.

Oh my gosh. I yawned and I can hear again! Wow, I had the volume on the TV on really loud .

Hopefully Mario will be home soon and we’ll go to the “new” Wal-Mart. We need to get house things. I hope the boys will be well-behaved. They’re on a sugar high since they stuffed themselves full with junkfood at their Nana’s and being in public with them after something like that never goes well.
