Sayings

You know that old saying "Careful what you wish for?", it is so true. You think you want something, you get it and you think, eh, what was the fuss about?

Let's say you really want some cake. You watch what you eat for a whole week so you can have cake. You take a bite of the cake, and think "This is it? I waited for this". Weird isn't it.

Last night Krystal took the kids to a baseball game and Eric was gone so I had the house to myself. Oh yeah. I thought I would work late (but when I was so tired I couldn't type by 5:30 it was time to go home). Picked up something really good (but bad) to eat since it was just me. Watched a bit of MONK (which is always good and this one was with Sarah Silverman, classic). And after about an hour, the novelty wore off. Okay I was in my pj's (could have done that anyway), I had complete control of the tv, (and didn't have to turn it up to hear) I had the ac on (didn't have to turn it up high since I was the only one here) and, well...it wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

Now, that doesn't mean I didn't start yelling once we got home. Actually I don't think we were even in the door yet, but those few hours, looking back were nice.

Bee Hive

I gotta throw away some pics and video's because I need room. Here is a picture of a bee hive we had in our backyard. Eric called someone to come out and they said to just wait and the bees would probably move on.

The next day we went out and the bee's were gone. There was nothing remaining. It was so weird. I am glad we had the photo because otherwise we would have thought we imagined it.

Mission

I am on a mission to find things to do. No reason, just can't spend as much time in front of my computer (unless I move it or get a new chair), we seemed to have misplaced our DS, and frankly TV is not quite my thing (although I recorded all of the MONK shows).

Yesterday Krystal and I pulled out all of the furniture and she swept while I foot swiffered behind, in front and around it. Krystal was sneezing all day (I would like to say I felt sorry for her but I didn't because she is supposed to move the furniture every time she sweeps). I washed the rugs too.

Today? Not sure. What will the day bring. I am doing a sort of Tackle it Tuesday each day but sometimes very, very small (i.e. I cleaned out the freezer door). I am sure whatever it is, I will let you know.

I am alive

Okay, so I have let my blog down. I haven't been here. You know it and I know it. The thing is, well I do so much in less than 140 characters who can think after that?

But alas I attempt to try again.

Yesterday Diego started Kindergarten and Siobhan started 2nd grade at a new school. Our Catholic school informed us over the summer that they would not reopen. Not enough enrollment. There were a lot of tears (and not just from Siobhan) because we really loved that school. The Principal, office staff, teachers and all the families were great. It was like a big family. K-8 and only 170 some students.

So they are attending the public school right outside of our neighborhood. It wasn't our first choice, but... The bonus is Carol (Eric's mom) is about 6 or 7 houses away from the school (she is half a mile from our house) and she can take Diego (he starts at 10:32) and pick them both us. I prefer that over daycare.

They also wear uniforms. I don't like that. At least the one's at the Catholic school are cute and different. These are just khaki or blue. Boring. But they CAN wear jeans and any closed toes shoes. It was so difficult to find shoes with no other color than black or white.

So, we will try it and see. I shall join the PTA at this school as well. I know it won't be the same, nothing could be, but we will get through it.

I am off to drop off Siobhan. Bonus that Diego can sleep in since he doesn't have to be there for TWO more hours.

Check back as I will do my best to blog.

Farm Town on Facebook

My friend Julie got me playing this game called Farm Town through Facebook. I tried it out because if Julie likes it... I am so hooked. I have three friends and three cousins playing. You pick your facebook friends has neighbors and you farm your land. You plant crops and have people harvest them for you. If someone else harvests you and they get more coins (to in turn by more crops, etc). You can always help people out while they are gone and get additional coins. You can gift (once a day) something to people. Animals or trees (I like the trees as it grows fruit which makes coins). There is a marketplace where you can hire and be hired for work. You can expand your garden as you gain experience. You have to keep an eye on your crops or they will die before harvested. You can chat with your friends and visit their farms. It is pretty cute!

Where or where can my little Di be?

My heart just hasn't been into it. I have been twittering so much. It is so nice because I have so little to say, I don't even use my 140 characters.

Siobhan has another month and a half for school. Can't believe it. They have a lot of "end of the year activities". Trying to get Diego excited about school next year. He is mostly scared although it helps that he sees his teacher at S's school functions.

Trying to go things around here but it is slow going. Cleaning up rooms, painting (Bradley), get palms planted, etc.

Diego needs a haircut. WHY are haircut places closed on Sunday? What does that mean? We go to Rainbow kids which closes at something like 6pm during the week so that leaves Saturday if you are a parent who works outside of the home. What if my Saturday is already full? Not to mention that means every working parent is trying to get there on Saturday. Stupid if you ask me. Sunday is the day I take the time to say "What could I get done today that I might not completely hate doing?" Well, not taking the kids for a haircut I guess. Maybe I will go to Supercuts because it appears they ARE open on Sunday. So take that stupid Rainbow kids that isn't very kid friendly because it isn't open all weekend. Alright, so I thought I would clarify and they are open. Oops, sorry!

A few pics from our latest Disneyland trip

I am SO going to get D-land passes for Christmas. Enjoyed a short day for a Bibbibi Bobbiti Boutique thanks to my wonderful friend!

Day 3 of "vacation"

Hmm, let's see what I have done so far. About nothing. I did color my hair so most of the grey is now unnoticeable. We went to the market, Target (to get what I forgot at the market) and still somehow need jelly. We met Eric for dinner last night, that was nice.

I keep waiting for this "rain". Yeah right. It probably will rain the day I go back to work.

Siobhan and I go to Disneyland on Monday (for free!) for some Bibbity Bobbity Boutique they are having before it opens to the public.

Today, nothing again I think. I kinda enjoy doing nothing as long as the kids can play in the backyard.

Vacation from work coming up!

I am going to enjoy 8 days off work. Siobhan has a week and a half off for Easter so I thought I would take some time off too. We might go to the beach a couple of days, put the blow up pool in the back, go to the Santa Ana zoo, park, who knows. The road is open!

I am looking forward to sleeping in a bit. Usually whenever I am off I still have to get up and take someone to school, but not this time!

I go back to work on a Thursday and then hopefully Eric will be off that Thursday and then Friday is his flex.

No big plans for Easter. An egg hunt of course. Anyone else have any plans?

Us enjoying Siobhan's school casino night

classic, laugh out loud funny

Where have I been?

Well where have YOU been? No one comes here anymore why should I? Truth be told there is so much crap going on over here there is nothing I want to write about.

Yesterday one of my friend's called and told me that Disneyland is having a new hair/make up for girls and before they do it for the public they are going to have people come and try it out. Her husband works there so they put Siobhan's name on the RSVP list. How cool is that? We need some cool over here.

I hope everyone out in internet land is well. Things could pretty much only get better. I think my moons are out of alinement or something.

Six weeks until Easter

So Ash Wednesday rolls around and I have to give something up for Lent. A sacrifice. Eric says jokingly "you should give up the DS". hee hee REAL funny.

I thought about it. It WOULD be a sacrifice. Although I don't play as much as before, I really enjoy playing the DS. So, I can not play for six weeks. SIX WEEKS. As if that were not enough of a sacrifice, look what game comes out today.



All I have to say is when I die, I should get some kind of fast pass right to the gates. No waiting in line for this girl! haha
I am even going to order it I think. I know what I will be doing all day Easter. What do you mean you want to eat? You want to hunt for eggs? Baskets? yeah right. I am busy!

A day at the Zoo

Little Miss F*&^ing Sunshine

Last weekend we watched Little Miss Sunshine. That was a really cute movie. Remember the part where the horn keeping beeping on its own? That was so funny. Eric and I were cracking up.

Last night K and I went to Albertson's for some cupcake stuff. When we were leaving there was a loud honking, two times. K said "Was that you?" I said no, I bet it was that guys alarm. We had a whole conversation on how annoying it would be to live near someone with such a loud alarm.

About half way home, my horn went mmppbbeepp. Oh crap. You have GOT to be kidding me! I said I am little miss bleeping sunshine. This can not be happening. We pulled into the driveway, mrrbeep. crap!

I can't believe it. My car was in the shop two different times in the last week. A Eurovan is NOT cheap to repair. I guess at least I don't have a dead grandpa in the trunk.

Bad Dream

Early this morning I was dreaming that I was going to Europe for a while. I was going to look for an apartment (not sure why, but hey sounds good!) It was decided I would take Diego with me. I was at this house waiting for the train to take us to the airport and talking to some people. This lady walks over and looks at me, reaches in my wallet to get some change. She said "I'm sorry but we can't find your boy". I looked over and he wasn't there.

I woke up and thought, I am not going to dream this but still freaked out. About 30 seconds later, Diego came into my room and said "I want to lay with you". Oh my gosh!

That would NEVER happen. I keep them close, and he would be on my lap. I am a freak about knowing where they are. I don't understand people who let kids run wild in different places.

That was so weird he came in. He comes in around 7 everyday, but it was still dark outside. Ah, just what I needed though!

My friend Mackey sent this to me. It was too good not to share.

A woman goes into the drugstore & says to the pharmacist.
"I need poison."
Pharmacist replies "I can't sell you that ma'am"
The woman then shows her marriage certificate to the pharmacist.

"Oh! Sorry," he replied.
"I didn't know you had the prescription."

new job

I had to go the The Home Depot and decided to take Diego with me. When we walked in, a worker told me they have a kids workshop on the first Saturday of every month. We went to check it out. Not only is it free, he was given a apron that he gets to keep and a pin to put on it (you get one for each task). This months item was a treasure/jewerly box. We had to put the velvet on, glue it and put the stickers on the side and the heart on the top.

He had such a good time. He carried that thing around the whole store, two hands, making sure it made it home safely. We will be visiting again next month.
