This is why I don’t make plans

Sunday did not go as planned. Saturday night I worked from 8pm to 4am. Actually I didn’t get off work til 4:30, so when I was almost home the sky was starting to get lighter already. When I got home I set my phone alarm for 8:30. That would have given me 2 hours to get the kids bathed and dressed and then get me showered and dressed. Shrek started at 11 and I wanted to leave by 10:30. I got ready for bed, climb in and try to go to sleep, but Javy is snoring, loudly, in my ear. So I decide to turn the tv back on and watched the last hour of wall-e before i decided I was tired enough to sleep whether he was snoring or not. By this time it was 6am. Ten minutes after finally falling alseep, JJ decides to wake up. So I put cartoons on for him and try to go back to sleep. He was not having it. He didn’t want to watch any of the cartoons that were on, which was a first. It took about another hour for me to get back to sleep. I think I got a little over an hour of sleep before my alarm went off at 8:30. So all in all I got at most an hour and a half of sleep. I was fine with that. Really I was, because we were going to go see Shrek.

I woke the kids up and put them in a bath. Next I tried to wake up Javy. At this point Serena informs me that “daddy went to sleep at 3″. WTF?! I knew he had people over because they were here before I left for work. They were here to watch the UFC fight. Fine, you know we have plans, I trust you not to be stupid. Bad move obviously. Javy was outside with his cousins listening to music and drinking until 3 o’clock in the damn morning. He tells me he’ll be ready in an hour. Yeah right. I finish getting the kids cleaned and dressed and then climb back into to bed to get more sleep since we’re obviously not going. I’ll stop here on that topic since I was really pissed off about that whole situation and I don’t want to say anything more that I shouldn’t.

When Javy and I wake up again a couple hours later, Serena said she was hot and she didn’t feel good. Turned out she had a fever of a little over 103. WTF? How the hell did she get sick? We have no idea. But the fever was off and on the rest of the day Sunday and all day Monday. Today she has no fever, but she did throw up in the morning. Obviously I didn’t send her to school because of the fever the past couple days anyway. Now she feels fine, but her throat hurts and she refuses to eat. So I’ve been giving water and gatorade. I’m thinking maybe I should go get her some pedialite later?

Today I have the day off, but it’s payday. I love having payday off. This should be a decent check considering all the overtime I have on the pay period. I want to go shopping, badly.
