More Last Minute Shopping & Laughs

I woke up at around 10:30am and wanted to get up and ready, but I didn’t want to wake Mario too early. I made some banana pancakes and waited patiently for them to wake up. But when he did wake up he started watching a movie. Ok, one movie. I could deal with that. But when that one was over he started watching Back to the Future. Um no, I told him we had to get up now and leave.

Alaethia was the only one who went with us, of course. Our first stop was Ross. I got a canvas basket for the girls’ blankets and a new photo album. I couldn’t find a nice key rack; I can’t find a nice one anywhere, in fact. I don’t want to have to put up the same old cow one.

Our next stop was Target where we got diapers for Alaethia and to exchange Emily’s car seat head support. Then we went to Walmart where we returned the baby bather since I’d already bought the foam one I used when Alaethia was a baby. We got a few things there then came home and unloaded all the stuff. I wanted to start working on my Baby Log but had to reinstall PSP, my FTP, and find my USB extender to connect everything that needed to be connected.

I debated what to make for dinner. Jorge had invited us over for salmon, but I felt weird intruding. Mario was quickly getting antsy and when he gets antsy or annoyed he pretends to go to sleep. Grr. I ate some macaroni and chips and avocado (I had no appetite whatsoever) and then we went over. The boys had school the next day so of course they stayed with Mary. Alaethia went with us. She’s usually pretty good about going over there.

We talked about jobs and the whole overdraft thing. Don’t even get me started on that! We watched TV and then I started getting horrible hot flashes. We went outside where it was nice and cool—well for me–everyone else was cold. Alaethia was fussing for a while and then went to sleep in my arms. She was comfy. She slept amazingly the whole time I was laughing my butt off. I couldn’t stop laughing at the guys (Jorge, Javi, Mario and Adan). I like those nights out.
