Ready for Summer

First, Happy 18th Birthday to John!

Also, pixydust.net’s reached over 100,000 visitors! Thank you so much to all who’ve stuck with me for so long and a big thanks to my new visitors .

This is nice. Getting home from picking Eenan up and doing absolutely nothing. Usually, we’d get home, cool off (we live in south Texas so even though we have the air conditioner in the car on ‘High’ our skin still feels like it’s melting off our bones), then I’d help Eenan with his homework–which would usually last an hour since he’d get frustrated/lazy. Now, since it’s his last week of school and they have no homework, we just get home and relax. *content*

I’m crossing my fingers that Mario will be up to going to the beach next Sunday. Or one of the Thursdays. I want to beat the college/high school crowds, and the unbearable 105° heat, so I want to go sooner than later. I want to get a cute skirt or capris before we go though . Problem with capris is, I’m so SHORT that all the ones I’ve tried on so far fit me like regular jeans .

Noelia and Andy want to go to Sea World soon and want us to accompany them. I want to go, because that’ll probably be the only place we’ll go this summer if we go at all. It’s going to be hard convincing Mario to go. He told Big Mario on Sunday that they asked him if he wanted his vacations yet, and he said no! He said all the other guys had to wait a year before they got theirs, and it wouldn’t be fair to them if he got them when he’s only been there 8 months. I was like . The difference between him and some (not all) of the guys that have been there is that he works his ass off! That’s why they’re probably giving him his vacation time already. But I don’t know. We’ll only need 2 days to go. He can maybe trade one of his Thursdays for someone who works on a Saturday. Then we can leave Friday night, we’ll have Saturday to be in San Antonio, spend a little bit of time there Sunday and come back Sunday night. Gotta run that by him soon. *crosses fingers*

I want to have a fun summer. I want the boys to enjoy themselves. I don’t want to be cooped up in the house for two months. John and I need to figure out exactly when we’ll be getting our licenses. I know he needs a bit more practice (shit, I do, too…I’m still skurred!), but hopefully soon. I’d drive much more comfortably if I had a license in my wallet. The cops here will stop you for every little thing, and that makes me REALLY nervous.

I need to figure out what to make for dinner and Mario’s lunch. Blah. I have absolutely no idea what to make anymore and it doesn’t help we need groceries! I appologized last night for making the same things over and over again and he replied with, “I don’t mind. I love your food.” Aww . That’s the way to my heart right there–compliment my cooking. He was telling me about how Albert, his co-worker, was jealous of the meatloaf and homemade mashed potatoes I made him a few days ago. Mario said Albert called his wife, Jannett, before he went home and asked if she knew how to make meatloaf and mashed potatoes. He heard him say, very sadly, “Oh, okay. No, no, that’s fine.” Aww LOL. Mario needs to get a few hours off on Friday night for John’s graduation, and since Albert’s in charge that night we’re planning to bribe him with some meatloaf, mashed potatoes, corn and lasagna since he likes how I make that, too LOL.

Ah yes, it’s that time of the day where Jaylen cries for no reason at all, which means he’s due for a nap…

I hope you get to go to Sea World. Summer is nothing without a few fun day trips. 😉 I’m the same way about wanting to take the kid(s) out… I’m hoping to do all those children outings this summer, like the zoo and a theme park.

That’s funny about capris. Apparently they make you look shorter, so that’s no good, but I love them! Hope you have a fun summer. So there’s a Sea World in Texas? I went to Sea World several times, the one in Florida, I LOVE it! Hope you get to go. 😀
