Relief

A huge weight has just been lifted off my shoulders. We just got a letter stating that the kids will indeed be getting health insurance through CHIPs. This comes as a huge surprise for me since we’d already received two letters denying Eenan’s coverage (he was the only one on CHIPs) because of our income. Now Jaylen and Eenan will both be receiving CHIPs; Eenan’s coverage starts this month, Jaylen’s in December. Jaylen’s is kind of late, but I’m just glad he’ll be getting something! That was the biggest thing riding on my shoulders (well, that and getting out of the babysitting thing) and I’m so glad it’s been resolved. I’ll need to call both the Health and Dental plans though, just to be absolutely certain that they’re getting covered.

I’m feeling much better than I was [two entries ago]. I had a horrible stressful day, mostly due to my 2 charges and own 2 children. Matthew was in a horrible mood most of the day (that child is not at peace unless he’s in someone’s arms and I do not like that!) and Brianna wouldn’t listen to anything I said. I even told Mireya I wasn’t going to be able to watch Brianna till December after all. I made the mistake of not telling her by when I’d like to stop watching her (ideally October 15th), but I’ll try and slip it in by next Friday. I hope they’ve at least started looking for a new daycare.

As for Matthew, I really don’t know when I’ll stop watching him. Yadira hasn’t really told me anything about Sonia wanting to watch him again, but from what I last heard Sonia didn’t want to watch him at all =\. One thing’s for sure though, I will be enjoying the kids’ Christmas vacation and the rest of my pregnancy with just my kids.

Mario and I had some weird argument that night, that turned into him staying at Jorge’s till 2am and has us not speaking to each other for a day and a half. Totally unexpected and over something miniscule. I cried myself to sleep two nights in a row, and the next morning (yesterday) he hugged me and appologized. I felt so bad I cried all over again because my heart felt like it’d been stomped on. It was just the worst feeling, ever. We hadn’t had a “fight” like that in so long.

John’s first day at work was yesterday and it went well, thank goodness. When we went to pick up the kids John treated me to a cinnamon roll. He got a combo meal and a cinnamon roll. When we parked to wait for Eenan and Brandon I started to eat my warm and gooey roll. John started on his roll first and said, “Let’s see what the big deal is about these things,” since Mario and I are always buying those. He took a bite and he was hooked!

I had both Matthew and Brianna again today and OMG, Matthew’s getting sick once again and he was so crabby! He’s usually pretty bad about being carried non-stop, but today he’d scream his head off when I’d so much as get out of his sight for a few seconds, like when I went to get his bottle from the table! He fought sleep so bad; it took 30 minutes to get him down for a nap and about 20 of those minutes he spent screaming. He was better at the end of the day, thank GOD.

Mario got out early, but of course he’s running errands with his mom and doing other crap so he’s not here right now. As soon as he gets here though, it’s time to make dinner. Bleh.

I just want a break! Maybe, hopefully I’ll get that break on Monday when the kids don’t have school and I won’t have any other kids to watch!

[edit 7:54pm] I was just cringing at that horrid Gap commerical where Audrey Hepburn’s dancing around in those skinny black pants when Eenan looks up from his drawing and says, “She’s a mime.” LOL I love Audrey, but not when she’s dancing around like that in those pants…ew. And the whole 80’s/skinny pants coming back–kill me now pls, kthx. If the MC Hammer pants come back I think I’ll strangle myself. [/edit]
