Good days.

These last few days have been really nice. The weather is good. Only problem is that for the first time in my life I have had allergies. Now I totally understand why there are so many drug commercials for allergies, they bug big time.
Today I took little d to an indoor play ground/center. It was tre cool. It's called Kids Island. Because he's under 12 months it was only 4 bucks. So the thrifty part of me wants to go every day until he's 1! lol That would be cool huh. They've got a whole infant area with a good amount of toys and things to climb, which he likes. We went a little late though, next time we will def. go earlier so that he can be completely worn out on the way home. We had to come back to get big d, so the ride home was horrible. At least it was close though. (Just down the street from the race track, past the mall.)

Congradulations to Me!

Yey Me! Today I finished my first graduate class. We ended with an online class. Each of us had to take turns leading the discussion. We had to pick the topic and questions for or peers to answer. Strangely it was the most nerve racking of all assignments. It’s one thing to present your opinions or discussions in class but online it’s a whole other story. It’s hard to gauge what people are thinking and the sense in which they say things. It went well though because I had a perfect score!! Plus I ended with my average being perfect!! Crazy huh? Now I know it’s the intro course and that I am pretty tech savvy but Al is like we should celebrate. And he’s right, it is a big deal. I am back in school and I am starting off on the right foot. I know it will get harder but the exciting thing is that I am learning a lot!

Okay on another note, I was a huge b** to V yesterday! Gosh I guess that’s not so nice on Easter of all days. So remember we went to his family’s celebration…well we follow him to his parents to pick them up. He then hands Al a walkie talkie. I’m like what? Why would he need this if were going to a park in Pasadena? Well it turns out we were going to the other side of his family, who live in Fillmore. Way out in the middle of nowhere!!!! Because we thought it was close we had made plans for dinner with a friend so we could leave V’s party early. So much for that! Okay, and I don’t mean to offend all of my safe driving friends, but he was going 59, 60, 65, the whole way. Occasionally he would hit 70. It took about 1 hour and 30 minutes to get there! You do know that I have a crazy baby who hates the car, yes? 20 minutes of screaming until he slept! On the way back it was pretty much off and on, mostly on. Anyway back to the walkie talkies. Seems V had bought new ones, an off brand probably a steal. Well thank goodness for that cause the whole way he would point out dumb little things but all we could hear was static. I was in such a pissy mood that I would just think of insults that I could hurl at him that would be short enough for when Al would respond. I managed “duh” “who cares” “cheap” and lastly and worst “idiot”. Poor guy. I think I just have had enough. It’s too much. For reals guys you know that one of the main reasons we came out here was to get away from family and we have told them on numerous occasions hoping they will get the hint. Now I fear I am worse off than before because at least in Houston we would get to rotate between the annoying families but now we just have the same ones over and over and over and over. All right enough whining!

I think it worked though cause we haven’t heard from them in a whole 24 hours!

Who's your daddy?

Well today guess where we will be? Spending the day at the park with the kids? No. Having lunch by the track? No. A leisurely day at home? No. We will be spending the day with V's family. Yes one of the reasons we came was to get away from family. Yes, I am so sick of V and Nana that I could barf. Yes, I am close to my period so I am a bit of a you know what. But still we will be going. At least there will be free food and an egg hunt. Plus we won't stay that long, at least that is what Al says.
Oh yeah, so the daddy in this movie is just yummy. I will def. be taking Big D. to see this one.

Miss ya lots

Hello world!
So my pals are coming today! It is such a cool feeling. I mean you know that feeling when you buy something cool and you wanta show your friends. Well it's kind of like that I finally get to share S.M. with them. It is such a cool place. I am not sure what we will go do but it's just cool they will be here.
So on Friday after work I met up with Al at the park. I met another family. Nana and V were! I just rolled my eyes. We had seen them the night before. I get annoyed when I have to see them every day.
On Thursday Carlos came over with his nephew and another little boy. then the two neighbor kids came over it was pretty cool. We played wii games and the kids just played. Later Nana and V came over. I made tacos and beans. Carlos said they were "okay".
Today we are just waiting around. Aa. a friend of Big D. is over playing. His dad is here. The weather was crazy. It was like overcast in the morning, then sunny, then hailing and then sunny! Guess it's cause the crazy girls are comin'!
Well, I will let you know how it goes!
Ta Ta

Whoosh!

Well it's definitely getting warmer! Spring is on the way. Today the pool guys came and even more exciting the new dryers arrived! Now I will be able to wash clothes here, rather than the laundry mat down the road. The laundry room is right next door to me.

Okay so today I will tell you about Lia my neighbor. She is really nice and she just turned 30. Her son is Vance. (Made up names!) He is 6 and plays with Big D. alot but he's crazy loud!

It's been nice for Big D to have people around to play with.
I am so excited that Lily and H. are coming to town! That will be nice.
I only have three classes left! I guess I better start looking at registering for next term.
Tomorrow night is Mother son game night at school. That should be fun.
So another father approached me yesterday about asking a friend of mine (another mother in the class) out! I was shocked but relieved. At first I thought he was going to hit on me cause he waited for me after school and was like walking with us, with daughter in tow. Then he starts talking about M. and I was like whooosh it's not me! But she's dating someone so I told him. He's a nice guy if not a little strange. I didn't want him to be embarrassed.
Crazy huh?

Frisbee

Today we went to the park. Actually it was a lazy day, since I had to drop off Alex at the airport at 4 am! Nana and V were calling to see what we could do, but I escaped them by holing up in Big D's room and sleeping while the kids played. It was a lovely day! Ah but don't think that I escaped they came by later to go to the park. But by that time I was rested and ready to deal. It was actually a beautiful day and the kids enjoyed it. I will say that I also enjoyed it. V and I were able to throw around the Frisbee. Maybe we can heal the rifts that are between us. lol
Tomorrow I will go get Alex and the boys will go with them to a family event of V's at a park!
Can you believe how fast this year is going?!
Carlos tricked me into going to a party on Thursday. He's crazy! But he always invites us to his family things. It's all good cause we meet new people and it takes us out of our comfort zones. We met a S.M. police officer. He was undercover! lol cause someone has been writing on the walls in the bathroom at the park. It was great!
Ah another week of craziness goes by in S.M.

All right so I am trying out a new blog. I want everyone (well all my girls) to keep up with my fascinating and fabulous life!! Ha, ha!

So Friday Al goes to San Diego and then on Saturday he flys out to "Chicago". I am not sure how this will all work cause I work on Friday. I am going to work on getting a sitter. Nana and Debs had invited me to go to the movies but that will have to wait. Once again I am annoyed with them cause we see them so much. Not at Deb but at Nana and V.
Last Friday we went to Bean Town. Maggie's band "Sugar Penny" was playing, technically it is Joe's band but Maggie is the star. She's cool. Which reminds me I want to tell you about the movies!

Gosh it was about a month ago when Maggie and I went to see Maybe Definitely. I snuck off while Nana was away to go see it. It was cool, Maggie is a bit more mellow then Nana. I have to say she didn't attack anyone. But I did almost start dying with laughter cause as the previews were on she pulled out her phone and texted. She didn't do it through the movie, I was kind of worried that she would. You know what that would mean: Friendship over!! lol
It's hard this trying out people to see if they can be my friend. Maggie is cool though and I definitely consider her a pal. We can totally count on her (plus she is one of the few people that can handle little D!)

Okay back to the concert! It was nice. We had just gotten back from Houston and although it was a bit chilly in Bean town it was burning up! Believe it or not we were one of the first people to show. But we got a good spot. Irma came with her daughter and Mima, her mom. They are a strange bunch. Later Carlos showed with Julie. Than even later Nana and V came with Dave and Debbie. They had gone out to eat (guess where? Pad Thai). They go there alot! V doesn't like to try a lot of new things. It was kind of weird seeing Dave and Deb. First we hadn't seen them in a while. Second it was weird all of us being at the same table. They were the first people besides N and V we met when we first came. Now we have more friends. It feels weird to mix them. Don't get me wrong I like them they are a lot of fun but we just don't see as much of them as our other friends.

Carlos always seems to be sad. I am glad he comes and hangs out though. It's like he's one of our kids! V likes him too. You know what was weird. Yesterday we went to Cheesecake factory and V wouldn't let us ride in his car. It was okay for Carlos and big D but not all of us. Alex brought up the point that I had said earlier that I didn't want to any way. It's true, I didn't want to but the fact that he said no bothered me! :)
