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.

I just got the strangest call from Maggie. What she told me made me feel…scared. My stomach turned and my knees feel weak and my back hurts.

Maggie: Hey!
Me: Hey!
Maggie: Are you coming over?
Me: Um, no? Mario didn’t tell me anything?!
Maggie: Oh. He already left?
Me: Yeah, I mean, he left to Eddie’s. I think?
Maggie: Oh ok. I just thought you all were coming over.
Me: No. I haven’t seen you in forever!
Maggie: I know. Have you heard anything?
Me: *stomach flips* Uh, no. About?
Maggie: Well…I don’t know how to say it…
Me: What?? Tell me!!
Maggie: Um…I’ll call you right back.

*5 minutes later. Literally.*

Those are words a married woman never wants to hear. Mrs. C-R and the rest of us were talking about just that when we had Mayra’s party on Tuesday.

That scared the shit out of me for nothing. My hands are still shaking! She just wanted to know if I knew about some new girl that worked where Mario and Jorge work, but there isn’t a new girl after all. Hiram was just acting all weird when Maggie asked him about it, which I find to be completely strange. We got to talking about how the girls that DO work there just leave us on hold when we call to talk to our husbands. Man that pisses me off. She also said she’s been receiving private calls, which is so bizarre since I received one yesterday right after I got out of school. I seriously don’t like the shady bitches that work there .

Homewreckers.

I’m here, at Mom’s, typing from John’s computer. We’re waiting here for about an hour or so till John’s damn car cools off. We went to pick Mom up from her appointment at 10:30am, then we went to Wal-Mart and had a quick lunch at McDonald’s, and then came home. We didn’t realize till we were almost here that the damn car was overheating. I asked Art for help when we got here, since I had no idea what I was supposed to do (I KNOW you put water in it when it over-heats, but where?!).

Neither of us knew exactly where to put the water, so I called Mario and prayed he’d answer since he’s at work and probably super busy with the sale they’re having. Luckily, he answered and told me what to do. I have to wait for the car to cool down for an hour, then I can put water in the little thingy on top of the radiator. What? I forgot what the thingy’s called.

I could have totally killed us on the way to Mom’s. I was SO nervous this morning, before I even drove to Mission, since I was going to be driving around town. While I was driving over there, I was surprised at how well I was doing and how unscary it was. I did fine over there. It was over here, where Mom lives, that I screwed up. Not only did I somewhat-only-yield at a red light (luckily there weren’t any cars coming when I went), but I stopped at another red light, thought all 4 sides had a stop sign, so after stopping I took off…and noticed another car coming straight for us from the left side. I felt like such an idiot . I could have KILLED my kids!!! Makes me feel really discouraged about even trying for my license next week . I guess I have to go through the whole damn driving book–for a third time. I suck.

I wanna go hooooooome!
