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 told myself this morning that I’d only eat one breakfast taco, so I only used 3 eggs (instead of the usual 4–2 for Mario, 1 for me this time) and then added the diced tomatoes, onions and cheese. I stuffed the mixture in flour tortillas. Mario and I were watching something where they were talking about heart disease last night and I told him, “I really need to stop making you so much food that you ‘require’ flour tortillas with.”

He replied with, “No, you need to stop being stingy and put more in there.” “There” being his lunch bag.

I began my lecture about cholesterol and heart disease (which runs in both our families, aside from diabetes) and he, of course, tried blocking me out. He hates talking about his health. Just because he’s thin and fit doesn’t mean other things (bad things) are going on inside. He already smokes for Pete’s sake!

Anyway, Mario left one of his tacos and well, I ate it. With a glass of Coke . Then I told myself, “Okay, no coffee this morning. Try your hardest to stay awake.” Soon after Mario finished breakfast I laid next to him on the futon where he was watching TV. And I fell asleep …right after eating! I’m so disappointed in myself *hangs head*. At this rate, I’m going to end up a very short, round woman.

Yesterday was a really nice day and I almost wanted to pick Eenan up walking but since Noelia was here and so was the car, I took it. Noelia has meetings at UTPA today, so she won’t be home so I’ll pick Eenan up on foot. He wanted to go walking to school yesterday morning, but it was drizzling so we didn’t go. He’ll be happy to know we’re walking today. Lord knows I need the exercise, heh.

He’s probably back from practice at the high school right now. They were going to be there from 8:30 till 11:30. He must have been so excited since he got to ride the bus .

Gar…the darn internet keeps disconnecting. It’s been this way all week! It’s a miracle I got this much finished with the skins and all. I hope I can finish today and maybe resurect a few old layouts? I’m just glad I got GM to work. I was so afraid I’d screw something up. This time, I’m keeping one of my scripts off the site–the print screen disabler, buahahaha–since it even annoyed me and lots of visitors using I.E. probably didn’t even know I had it enabled. It sure did give me that extra peace of mind though–haven’t had my layouts jacked since I started using it a few months back. Since it doesn’t work in other browsers other than I.E., it’s safe to say most of the layout stealers use I.E. LOL.

Oooh, forgot to mention: Andy was visiting with Noelia last night and they came over to see the turtles. He couldn’t believe how big Daniel’s gotten . I don’t see a difference, probably because I see him all the time. I’m just glad they’re doing well. It scares me to think we’ll have to eventually put them in a kiddie pool when they become adults!

Mary was talking to Jorge (Mario’s Nino) last night. He’ll be coming down from California during the Mother’s Day weekend. She was bragging about my cooking (how sweet!) and he said he wants to see how good a cook I am so I was appointed to cook one of the nights he’s here. I’ll be making enchiladas…chicken enchiladas probably. I hope I do well LOL. I don’t wanna goof up, especially in the presence of Jorge…he’ll be making fun of me for years!

Okay, going to reset the modem and hopefully it starts working again. Damn Roadrunner .

I’m currently messing with skins and Greymatter so things may be a little weird around the site for a little bit.

Edited @ 6:40 – Everything with the layouts is working, for the most part, heh. Still gotta colorize my “Quicklinks” for each layout and remove the “targets” to the Iframe I was using before, so most links will be popping up in a new window. So, that’s gonna be an annoying inconvenience, forgive me. But anyway, that’s it for now. Will continue later; the children want to play in the sandbox.

Edited @ 5:35 – Skins 1-6 are currently not working correctly and the default skin is missing a few things. Working on it!
