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.

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.

I got a new cell phone, finally! I’m still super excited about it even though I’ve already had it for like 2 weeks lol. We switched to Sprint and got some awesome deals on our phones since we ordered online. I got the samsung exclaim and Javy got the rumor 2. Personally I think my phone is better, but it could be because it’s mine heh.

Serena is almost done with kindergarten. Can you believe that? KINDERGARTEN! I can’t believe it. In a few short months she will be starting first grade and turning 6. As I type this she is reading, seriously reading, a couple books she got from school. It is insane how fast they grow up. She plays on the computer (nickjr.com) and plays the wii all by herself. She can pick out her own clothes and do her own hair when she feels like it. Like I said it’s insane.

Poor JJ had his teeth fixed finally last week. The lil guy had to get 4 caps, 5 fillings and a tooth pulled. They had to put him to sleep to get it all done, but everything went well. He’s still putting up a fight when we brush his teeth, but other than that he’s good now. No more crying and pointing at his mouth saying “urt”.

Being a shift lead at work is stressful, but for the most part it’s okay. There have been a couple days when I snapped. One of those days I cried and the other day I yelled at someone. Both days were VERY busy and people were complaining about stuff that I had no control over, so I snapped. But after having a day off after each of those, I was fine. Speaking of work, I better go get ready and do dishes before I leave.

Tuesday at work we have a CER, which basically and long ass inspection to make sure things are running the way they should be and clean and whatever else. The next few days at work are probably going to suck. Tuesday is definately going to suck because they’re coming in at 3 and staying til we close, but I don’t know if it’s til the lobby closes or the drive-thru. I’m hoping til the lobby closes so I can clean in peace. After that’s over Sandra said she’s going to concentrate on my shift lead training, but we’ll see how that goes.

JJ’s being a lil punk, so I gotta go

Five more days of working. Eleven more days until my 26th birthday. I feel so old, and my aching back doesn’t help me feel any younger lol.

It’s too damn hot lately, I hate it. Serena’s doing full day kindergarten now, thank goodness. I hated calling every day to see if the back gate was open early so I could pick her up. Now that she gets out with everyone else I know the gate will be open. Speaking of picking her up I only have about an hour left before I pick her up, I have to go clean up.

Back to work tomorrow, oh joy. I don’t want to go to work. Why did they have to give me so many days off in a row? Of course I’m going to get used to staying home lol. I wish we had been able to get me a car so that Javy doesn’t have to take me to work and pick me up. I guess we can still go after he gets off work and check out a couple places. I have been learning to drive his car, it’s a stick, and I’m doing pretty good. The only thing is that his car is hard to turn on so I can’t just take it to work cuz I’ll never get it turned on lol.

We’re getting a puppy Saturday. Javy’s uncle Ruben has one more puppy left and asked if we wanted her. We said sure, all I have to do now is figure out a name for her. Javy doesn’t like Ginger and someone already had a pitbull named Jade so that’s out too. Any ideas?

Yesterday I had the day off, so Javy took the day off as well so he could get some court stuff done and we could spend the day together.We also finally got the house sprayed for ants because it was getting to be ridiculous how many ants we were getting. Since we had to be out of the house for a few hours after they sprayed we went school shopping for Serena. It went nice and smooth too since she is in Tulare with Javy’s mom until tomorrow. We were able to get her clothes that were NOT pink or princess lol. She’s getting so big already, she starts kindergarten on Monday. Seriously? Monday? Already?! We got her a princess backpack and everything else on the list it said she needs. Kids need dry erase markers now, did you know that? I mean why do they need them? Whatever she has some.

When she starts school I’m going to be so tired, it’s not even funny. I’m going to be getting off work at like 1 AM, get home around 1:30, fall asleep at 2. Then I have to get up early enough to get the kids and myself dressed so we can drop Javy off at work, leaving by 7. Then Serena starts school at 8:20. Hopefully I can take a decent nap with JJ while Serena is at school. Tuesdays are gonna suck though because she gets out like 12 or 1 something instead of 2:45. Fun times.If we didn’t have to turn the camry back in (don’t ask) then my mornings wouldn’t be so damn busy, but we did and now I’m going to be sleeping any chance I get lol.

Yesterday I was looking at my videos on myspace and I saw one I haven’t seen in forever. It was Serena saying words she knew how to say when she was about 18 months. I forgot how much she did talk when she was that little. JJ is 17 months now and doesn’t talk. He says ba which depending on how he says it can mean bath or ball and then he says da which is usually when he points at stuff and is supposed to mean that lol. He’s a crazy one that’s for sure. He plays pow pow with Javy too, he socks Javy hard as heck and he just started choking him too. He’s gonna be able to defend himself at least haha.

K well I have to go to work as soon as Javy gets back with my car, which should be any minute now.

Saturday was Serena’s last T-ball game. They won, which is always good. Everyone got a little trophy with their name on it (thanks to Ruben’s bitch fit about names on the trophies ). We also went to a party at Javy’s grandma’s house which was for Danny’s HS graduation, Robert’s MS graduation and Miguel’s 16th birthday. (All Javy’s little cousins.) Robert ended up getting a little tipsy off of someone’s drink. That boy can’t handle his alcohol, I know he’s only 14, but I think he’ll always have that problem.

Moving on…I also got another month of play time for WoW last night. I haven’t played in forever. I started a new toon because I didn’t feel like jumping onto my 48 hunter and being ganked while trying to level lol. Javy also said that maybe when I get paid Tuesday I can buy my Sims 3. *fingers crossed*

Other than that I’ve been working a lot. Mostly 5pm to 1am shifts, fun stuff. My next day off isn’t until Sunday, Father’s Day, because I requested it off for the BBQ at Javy’s grandma’s house. (Yes almost every party is over there lol. Which is great now since we live right down the street.) Also I know I keep saying I’m working on a layout, but I really am, I just don’t have the time or patience to sit and work on one for hours  that I need like I used to back in the days.

Not too much else going on here, as usual. JJ’s been a big time buggaboo lately, crying all the time and we don’t really know why. I have to remember to get Serena’s transfer paperwork done and take it to the district so she can stay at her current school for kindergarten. I also have to work on getting healthy families insruance for the kids at least, JJ needs his 15 month check up and Serena’s going to need her doctor and dentist check up for school. Can you believe they make you do a dental check up before your kid starts school now? When I was little it was just medical check up, things have changed I guess.

I’m also working on a new layout, I have the graphics done, I’m just trying to figure out how to code it myself. Like I said before, it’s been a long time since I’ve done layouts myself.
