Serena started first grade on Monday. So that means back to practically no sleep. It doesn’t help that we almost never get done by 3, which is when we’re scheduled to get off. Serena’s birthday is also coming up at the end of the month. Instead of a party we’re taking her to the zoo since we still have the 4 tickets I won in the raffle at work last year. Plus it’ll be cheaper than having a party, which is great for us right now.

My birthday is a week from Monday. Twenty seven. That’s how old I’m going to be. The crazy thing is that I keep forgetting how old I am lol.

Okay, as usual, I forgot what I was going to type haha. So back to my soaps.

Tonight after we cash my check we have to go get a few small things, probably from Target. I’m trying to remember what all we need. I know we have to get pots and pans, a trash can, and silverware, but that’s all  can think of at the moment.

I’ve been looking at a few websites about couponing and once a month cooking. I know I want to do the whole coupon thing because I know I can save a lot of money with them, we’ve done it before. I’m thinking about doing the once a month cooking when they move out. I figure I’ll give it a shot and if it works for us awesome. If it doesn’t work, then oh well it doesn’t work, but at least I tried it.

On a last, unrelated not, my vicadin has been making me itchy like crazy.

As you can imagine I was and still am freaked out about the fact that I have a piece of titanium in the root of my tooth. I can’t even close my mouth all the way right now because I’m scared of basically crushing what’s left of my tooth. I checked it out in the car mirror (and the bathroom mirror every chance I get) to see what it looks like, let me tell you it is not pretty.

I just lost my train of thought since i had to go changed JJ’s diaper lol. I’ll end it here.

Anyways, back to the beds. I searched craigslist and I found an ad for a bed from Ikea with a trundle bed underneath. The bed, with bother mattresses, was $75. You can’t get any better than that. The guy even drove it over here in his truck, for a little bit extra. Before we put the bed in the room I’m going to get some kind of disinfectant spray and spray the crap out of the mattresses, even though they said they were barely used. You can tell they were barely used, but you never know. I’m also going to get a couple of those mattress covers with the padding.

Now all that’s left to get is a new pots and pans set, since the one we had was cheap and crappy and started peeling. We need silverware, I found out Javy didn’t like the set I got from Ikea, so I think we threw it away. What else? I think that’s it in the essentials department.

Javy’s uncle, the one we’re renting the house from, has to find a fridge for us though. We’re using my mom’s right now. Javy asked her how much she would want for it, since she’s not going to need it when she moves. Her insane butt says $500 for a 5 year old fridge that she never paid for since she went bankrupt. It’s that kind of stuff she does that makes me mad and makes me think forget her. She said we could have her couches, if we get her brakes done. Which is another thing she didn’t pay for. These thing she’s not going to be able to use, or have room for, so wtf is she trying to make money off of things she didn’t end up paying for.

Jen: “is it three yet?”

Me:”we’re not even close to being done yet, so don’t bother checking the time”

Jeni: “well she (Sandra) told me eight hour shifts”

Me: “yeah but nobody is allowed to leave until we finish. isn’t that what you’ve been doing? finish and then leave, like everyone else?”

Jeni: “no”

Of course I know she’s lying, Timmy would have told me about that by now. I decided to check her time card for the last week anyway. Surprise! I was right. That was the most upsetting thing of the night was that conversation I had with her.

I’m going to wrap this up since nobody wants to hear about the Taco Bell drama I have to deal with lol.

Tonight I close, which means 7pm-3am. Tomorrow I was supposed to have the day off, but Sandra found out about a class kind of last minute, so I get to go to that instead of being lazy all day. What really sucks is that the class is from 9am-5pm, and check in is at 8:30. Oh and did I mention that according to mapquest the trip is 41 minutes, but that’s not including the crazy traffic I’m going to hit that early. So basically I’m probably going to get 1 or 2 hours of sleep if I’m lucky. Great. Really….great.

Yesterday my mom said she and my brother would be giving their 30 day notice in August. I’ve been looking forward to this, but now I’m nervous that we won’t be able to make it. With us both working we make decent money, but I don’t know if it’s enough for all that we’ll have to pay. Javy mentioned that Laura (who asked if we knew anyone looking for a roomate) can move in then. I don’t know how I feel about having another roomate though. I guess we’ll see what happens.

Right now I’m about to fill up the little pool we got at walmart. It’s a 6×10, nice size for all of us to relaxe in, and it only cost us $25. Then I have to pick Robert up from school, poor guy is still in school while all his cousins are out already lol. Oh and cleaning, can’t forget that, I always have cleaning to do.

PS the title came from wow wow wubzy, which is on my TV right now.

The last earthuake I felt was a couple months ago, I want to say it was on Easter, but I’m not 100% sure on that. I was at work, near the fryer of all places, talking to Timmy and Jason when everything just started swaying. Nothing happened here or at work, thank goodness. But that was the earthquake that messed up downtown Calexico.

Maybe the “big one” is coming? I’ve been hearing about it since middle school. Supposedly Cali is due for a huge earthquake on the San Andreas fault. Fun huh? Cali is so going to break off and just go floating off into the Pacific haha. But seriously though, I’m terrified of the “big one” happening, I really hope it holds off until everyone I know and I die lol.

Not too much else exciteg going on around here. Today is my payday and Javy said he wants to see if we can find a decent treadmill for a couple hundred dollars. I also want to go to the San Diego fair this year, we’ll see how that goes. Well I better finish cleaning the house before it’s time to pick up Serena and Adrian.

Is it bad that Javy and I both want new phones and we’ve only had ours for a little over a month? He actually has a real excuse though: the rumor2 sucks. He can’t do all the awesome things I can do on my phone. Facebook app, myspace app, twitter app, youtube app etc. I just want a new phone because I changed my mind about the whole touchscreen thing. I was totally against it, wtf do I need touchscreen for? So it can mess up and I’m screwed? (Remember I have a 2 year old who loves to play with phones.) But then I saw the samsung seek on sprint’s website. That phone looks awesome and I want it.

Have you ever bought something and it was defective? How about food? Ever bought some kind of food and it’s defective? Well we went to the grocery store the other day and Javy bought a hungryman tv dinner with the boneless chicken. When we got home and I was getting ready for work he decided to make that for his dinner. He opened it and…there was no chicken! We were like wtf? How do you do that?

Last night at work Laura said she was feeling sick because she had food poisoning. So I asked her why she didn’t call out so we could have found a replacement. She said she doesn’t have insurance so she wouldn’t be able to get a doctor’s note. All this in my opinion was complete bullshit, but I didn’t want to have someone there that didn’t want to be there because then she would have dragged her ass and we would have gotten out late. Three o’clock in the morning is late enough as it is thank you. Anyways I sent her home after I got my important breaks out of the way. Amazingly enough we still got out at 3, thanks to Steven who stayed til almost 3 instead of 1. Maybe I’m wrong about that guy.

Time to go get Serena…

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.
