Jaylen and I spent all of Sunday here at home. I was bored out of my mind. Eenan went to town with Mary so it was just Jaylen and I. I was supposed to go to Target with Mary that day, but didn’t so I still haven’t returned/exchanged my stuff. I loathe not having a license (or a car of my own) .

Mario came home after work and picked us up (thank GOD) and we went to Jorge’s. We picked up some snacks at the huge Coca-Cola-shaped Drive-Thru and prayed for the best since we had BOTH the kids. Usually, Eenan spends the night at Mary’s and only Jaylen goes with us. It wasn’t as horrible as I thought it was going to be. I spent some time with Jorgie and Justin inside while they ate some bananas while Maggie was out. The rest of the night Maggie and I just watched Mario, Jorge and Hiram install the garage door opener. It actually worked !

Thursday’s Hiram’s birthday so we’re going to have a little party for him. I’m baking a chocolate cake, Mario’s grilling some fish and Jorge is making the fajitas. That’s another thing…we need to go grocery/house stuff shopping and SOON. I hope Mario gets his day off on Thursday after all.

We rented movies and bought ice cream that night. I fell asleep half-way through the movie though LOL.

Yesterday I cleaned the house from top to bottom. Well, not all the way to the bottom since I didn’t get a chance to mop, heh. I barely finished up when Rejeana got here. It’s the first time I’ve seen her since sometime in November before she left to England. She & Geoff got me the set of McDonald’s Happy Meal Care Bears from the UK…aww! They’re too darn adorable. She also brought some English tea with her so I boiled some water and we sat down and had tea and toast . The tea was so good. Never had tea like that before and never have I added milk to my tea! It was awesome. We spent the rest of the night online and just talking and catching up. I made dinner and we ate and then Mario got home. We watched the other movie we got, Maria Full of Grace, which I’ve wanted to watch since it came out. I thought it was a good movie. The very end was a bit “blah”–could have had a more detailed ending–but Mario and I tend to think the endings suck of most movies LOL. It’s something I noticed recently . Rejeana left before the movie finished so I’ll have to fill her in. It was nice seeing her .

Tommy and Yadira’d brought back Jaylen’s toddler bed since Angela wasn’t using it anymore so I set it up Sunday night and he slept there half the night. At around 3am he jumped back into bed with me. Last night though, I moved the bed right next to mine and held his hand till he fell asleep and he slept there all night long! My back actually didn’t hurt this morning since he didn’t suction himself to my back. It hurt because Mario took up all the space . I had forgotten how much space that boy requires. We hadn’t slept in the same bed because of Jaylen in months. I must prepare myself for the elbowing and waking me up from a peaceful sleep for the midnight rendevous .

Gonna join the hubby on the couch and take a shower and try not to stay up too late. I woke him up 30 mintues late this morning because I went back to sleep after I turned the alarm off.

I’m going to split my entry into two posts, because if I keep it in just one entry, you’ll be here forever.

I continued to be completely bored that Saturday. Nothing remotely exciting happened. Well, not to me. Noelia came in and told me about how she had a date and showed me a picture of him. I freaked when I found out it was Andy, a friend from highschool; we had a math class together. Small, small world. I told her he was really nice from what I remembered. She’d disappeared for a little bit, so I helped with directions on how to get over here. I met him outside. It was nice seeing him. He and Noey are officially a couple, and I’m so glad she finally found someone who’s…not an ass and will actually treat her well. After seeing him, I suddenly felt really nostalgic, again, and missed my old friends *sigh*.

I also found out from Andy, that my boyfriend at the time, Eric, was indeed gay. All my suspicions were correct. He was pretty normal when we were together, but once we broke up he started acting, and looking…different. But yeah, he came out of the closet a year later. And what freaks me out, is that Andy said just about everyone knew. I feel…weird LOL. How embarrassing!

(I’m currently on the phone with a creditor regarding Mario’s school loan. The lady called me Yajayna. That’s a new one !)

That night Eenan slept over at Mary’s and when Mario got home we (Mario, Jaylen and I) got comfy on the futon and watched the Shark Tale movie he’d rented. 5 minutes into it, he fell asleep . We left the movie on anyway and fell asleep. I hate sleeping on that thing. I wake up all contorted and achy . Oddly enough, it was one of the best nights sleep I’ve gotten in a while. I only woke up once.

When I opened my eyes the next morning, Mario was staring at me and said, “Let’s spend some money!” He finally had a day off and he wanted to get out of the house. While he helped his uncle with the Prelude, I took a shower and then we left to eat breakfast at McDonald’s. We didn’t make it for breakfast (it was exactly 11am), so we got lunch. The kids got Happy Meals and I got chicken tenders (?) and Mario got a burger. Chris and Alfonso were there and they were super awesome with us and gave us extra everything — even toys for the kids and they got me the last two My Little Ponies! I asked how much we owed them (because they’d gotten me all the other ponies and all the toys for the kids) and they said not to worry about it. They’re super nice. Too bad they’re moving next month . They’re the best neighbors we’ve ever had.

After we finished eating, we dropped off all the extra stuff we had at home, put gas in the car, bought the newspaper (for the ads!) and off we went. We went to the big garage sale/flea market but I found absolutely nothing. All the good stuff was probably sold the day before . Eenan and Jaylen bought some Neo Pets, and Mario bought some Hot Wheels and then we left. We went to Target, where Mario bought only 1 pair of jeans since that’s all they had in his size, and all I got was bras . After that we went to Best Buy. Mario got the Sony home theatre surround sound or whateverthehellit’scalled. He wanted me to buy something for myself so I was looking at the cameras and immediately felt sweaty and nervous when I saw the prices. I can’t spend. Not like that. If I were rich, hell, it would be easy. But I’m not, and all I kept thinking was how the money could go to something more important. I really liked the Kodak Easy Share with printer dock, but said, “No, it’s okay, let’s go.” Mario got it, and stuck it in the cart. He insisted. So I have a new camera. I love it to bits, don’t get me wrong, but holy cow that was a lot of money .

He got Eenan a game — Zelda and the Minish Cap, or something like that — extra paper and a cartridge for the camera/printer and a DVD. And then we left. We went to Circuit City where he bought some wiring for the surround sound and a DVD+R. (We still haven’t gotten that piece of crap to work correctly .) On the way home, I was feeling REALLY guilty and Mario told me how I deserved it and I never buy anything and all that stuff, and I almost cried because I was PMS’ing and I just love him .

We still had to get gifts for our Moms and Eenan’s shirt and sandals (beach theme) for yet another set of school pictures, and were going to get Jaylen something so we were going back to Wal-Mart later that night. We ended up staying in and Mario installed everything, I messed with my wonderful camera and then I slaved making cupcakes for Eenan’s class and for us. (continued on entry above)

I finished with the Lil’ Mama code checks today and out of 91, I only have 35 (34 not counting me) members left, just as I’d suspected. How disappointing. The drama-queen in me wanted to just close down the darn thing but I thought about how long I’ve had it, and how it really was the first clique for moms and I decided I’d keep it. I’m happy that the members I do have, have stuck with the clique so long .

Anyway, Friday night we all got ready and headed over to Jorge and Maggie’s when Mario got home. Eenan didn’t go, as usual, since he was sleeping over at Mary’s. Mario wanted something to eat, so we stopped at Star’s. I was driving and absolutely hate driving when Mario’s in the car because he makes me 10,000x more nervous than I already am. After getting his and John’s food, and Jaylen & my milkshakes, we went to drop off some movies we’d rented. Then we finally got to Jorge’s. Hiram was there, too. We all just laughed and a had a good time. We kept trying to convince John to do the “Riverdance”, but he was being a poophead and didn’t want to. The guys (well, except Jorge LOL) said they’d Riverdance if John would. They even had this whole syncronized dance planned out, but John refused . It would have been fun. Even more fun had they done it and I had my camera .

There was also this poor, old little chihuahua running around the neighborhood looking for a warm place to sleep. His owners just left him out there in the cold (and trust me, it was cold). We were all sitting in the garage, and he happily pranced on in and found a bed in the corner. He had this huge bump on his side…looked like someone either beat him or he got run over and his ribs were broken . Mario and Jorge kept trying to run him out, because they thought he was looking for a place to die (rudeness!), but the rest of us begged/yelled for them to let him be and they did. Jorge and Maggie let him stay over night and in the morning, when they opened the garage door, he ran out LOL. Poor little guy.

On Saturday we just chilled out here, then in the afternoon Mary and I left to pick up Yadira and the girls and we left to Nuevo Progresso, Mexico. Mary needed a root canal, and getting it fixed over here would cost about $400, not including what her insurance covered. So we went to Mexico, where it would cost about $150. I had a holey tooth since the filling had fallen out and decided I’d brave the needle and get it redone. Mary said it would cost about $15 per tooth, which was great. The dentist was really nice and was making small talk. He kept saying he couldn’t believe I was 22 and that I had kids. We talked about how young I got married/had kids/etc. and about where in Texas we were from. I ended up getting 4 teeth done, and it came out to $35. Later on, after talking with Mary and Yadira about what the dentist and I talked about, Yadira said he was flirting and that he gave me a good price because he liked me . Whether that’s true or not is beyond me, but I’m thrilled I got a bargain LOL. I didn’t know I had so many darn cavities . I brush my teeth twice a day (should maybe start brushing 3 times considering how much crap I eat) but I don’t think it helps that I eat so much candy. I hadn’t flossed in forever, too . Last night when we went to Wal-Mart though, you can believe I bought some spearmint flavored floss. I don’t want my teeth to fall out !

I want to go back next week when Mary gets her root canal done. (She couldn’t get it done that day because her tooth/gums were too infected and they wouldn’t go numb. They gave her medication and she’ll hopefully get it done this weekend.) They highlight your hair at this one salaon for $15! I so want to get highlights and now that Mario actually agreed of course I’m getting them done. I haven’t dyed my hair since before Jaylen was born…or since before I was pregnant with him even! I need to get my hair cut first…I never frickin’ went to get it done! Yadira said she wanted to get them done too. I just hope they don’t ruin my hair .

Mario got a flat tire on his way home from work last night. He bought a new tire, replaced it and now our car isn’t making that horrible side-to-side jerking it was doing. The old tire was all shredded and might of had a “ball”, so Mario thinks it was probably just that and not the suspension. Yay!

Tomorrow’s Monday…which means another week of waking up early. Gosh I hate it . I try to take a nap during the day but I can’t. The times I do take a nap I wake up with a headache and feel shittier than I did before. Blah. I should get to those dishes (been putting them off, as always!) and take a shower and head to bed before it gets too late. Er, late-er.
