out to dinner

yesterday was payday. i was grumpy. no dinner. i visited with a friend for a little while. then i came home to find that UPS had dropped my avon order off, and left it on the porch. bad move. vanessas little puppy, meeko, he ate most of my order. now i have to re-order everything, and guess what i make no profit, cause i have to pay out of pocket for everything. stupid dog!
anyway, eddie asked me why i was so grumpy, i said i didnt know, i just was in a bad mood, and i want to go out and eat, cause i dont want to cook. so he said ok. well on the 14th was my parents 30th (WOW!!) anniversary, so eddie invited them to eat with us. my dad said he didnt feel like going out since my mom had already cooked dinner. my mom went along for the ride, and to have a salad. we ordered appetizers, and our drinks, and i thought what the hell, i'm already grumpy, so i told the waiter to bring me a corona. well, its been a long time that i have had any alcohol (no im not a drunk either) but damn it tasted so freakin good! alongside some texas cheese fries, it hit the spot.
i am not a drinker, but once in a while i'll throw one back with eddie just for the fun of it. and it was nice. we had ribs (i ordered a full rack, but my children attacked it) and it was not busy at chili's since it was a weeknight, and i'm glad. with me in a bad mood, a crowd was not what i needed, so for the very first time in a long while, the service at chili's was great, and so was the food.

things about me

~why things about me? cause its my blog!!!!!!

i like to bake

i love crafts

i love my children

i am daddy's little girl for ever

i am the oldest child

i will one day become a nurse

i love Jesus Christ

i love horses, and all animals alike

i try to make my family proud in all that i do

i love my husband, we have been thru thick and thin

i met my husband at the ripe old age of 14

i got married a couple of weeks after turning 18

i had my son 9 months later

(no, i DID NOT get married because i was pregnant) just need to clarify that, cause that is what most people assume

i dislike:

fake people

liars

arrogant people

when people judge me for what i appear to be, without them taking the time to get to know me

paying bills, but with out them, where would we be?

know it alls!

i'm sure i will think of more, but right now thats all i got

flakes

well, I am in a grumpy mood today. is it cause i'm getting older? naw!!! i guess it has to do with, lets put it this way, i hate it when, people act like they are your friends, and turn out to be total flakes! i have this so- called friend. (u know who u are if u happen to read this) any way, i have been there for this person, day and night, whenever or whatever drama she may be having. i have never really let too many people in my life, because i'd rather deal with my own dilemna's on my own, then be led on to believe that friendship is real. few people make it to my "FRIENDS" list. onnce you are there, well it will take alot to piss me off. but you get only one chance, and thats it.
don't try to be who you aren't, i don't.
anyway, there have so many times lately that i have needed a friend, and guess what, this flake, well, she isn't around. its ok, i can just pray that she will learn what the meaning of friendship is.

i am not a mean person, i will give you my last piece of bread if you were hungry, i would give you my last dollar, and give you the shirt off my back, but don't blow me off.

the only true friend i really have is my husband. and yes he is really the only one i need, but hey, i'd like to have a female friend who is real. one that i could come to when ever times are tough. i'm sure God has one out there, i just haven't met her yet.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

OMG! I am 27 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!agghhhh!! j/k my birthday is always my favorite day in the whole year~!!!!!
my mom brought me some roses..........
my in-laws wished me a happy birthday, and have some gifts for me, that i need to pick up, since they aren't doing well. my nina, called me, and monica wished me a happy birthday too...... my love, he called, he is and has been in Los Alamos since last week....he asked me to come up top after work, cause he wants to celebrate my birthday....hmm.. i wonder what he has up his sleeve, i was told to dress up nice.
lol, he always asks me to dress up nice when i go up top, cause he says "he likes to show me off" oh how loved i feel....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

THOR is back.....

yay! my genius husband fixed the dodge! oh btw, all our vehicles have names. THOR is our dodge. its been out of commission for almost a whole year! got new brakes, new tires (haven't put em on yet though), performance injectors, and a cold air intake. oooh that baby can really boogie now!
been alot going on....real busy. i am actually on my way to el rito to pick up my baby brother. he is out there at some college thingy, it helps him get ahead for school. he is such a doll (he will probably wanna kill me cuz i called him a doll, lol.) we are 11 years apart, and he is almost like a child to me. my brothers and i really close, but i have a different relationship with both. esequiel is more brotherly, and vicente and i, well, lets put it this way, he will always be my BABY brother. not that i am saying i like him more. NEVER! Esequiel and i have a super cool relationship too. he is my lil bro too......
n e way, my hubby is gone for the week. he has stand by this fourth of july weekend. he will be gone until next friday. man, he has to be gone for my birthday.....now whos gonna baby me??????? i'm sure my son will do something, cause he is a sweetheart just like his daddy. like on mothers day, he got up REAL early, (5 am) and made me breakfast ( how cute) he isn't allowed near the stove, so i got cereal, toast and oj.
anyway, just a glimpse of whats been going on in H-town

weekend

This weekend was pretty laid back. Saturday was really windy. My darling husband woke up early and made me breakfast. Then he headed off to his mom's house, and took the older two kids with him. Alejandro wanted to sleep over, so he packed up his stuff and slept over there. When Eddie came back, he worked on the truck, and I got a little nap woo hoo!!! When I woke up, he was still putting brakes on the dodge, so I went out to help him. It was nice because he was out there all alone, and putting brakes on a diesel is a 2 man job, cause you gotta bleed the lines and blah blah blah. Well his friends were all busy, so I went out to help, and he said the sweetest thing, "oh who needs friends to come help when I have my best friend right here" any way, the truck is still not running, which is not good, because it is time to head to the mountains for firewood. we bought the parts but its still not running right and now we need a MAJOR part for it :( but the good part of Saturday, was Eddie and I got to hang out just him and I for a while, without someone needing their snot wiped, or needed something to drink, eat, or just something to whine about.
Sunday, was another lazy day. I stayed home all day. It rained and rained. Eddie ordered kfc for dinner and we watched Fools Gold. This is one of my favorite movies. We didn't do much of anything else. The kids camped out in the living room, because Vanessa claims someone is living her closet.....

well on thursdays, it is story time at the local library. so, today we headed off to the library, and the kids had a puppet show, (very cute) and then they got to each make their own puppets. vanessa is learning how to use scissors still, so it was a bit of a challenge to help her make a puppet while trying to nurse a squirmy 6 month old! whew! another mom and I were talking about sprouting an extra set of arms, and we thought how convenient it would be to be like that one cartoon, stitch! yeah, how nice that would be to have not one but two extra arms. my mom is a big help, but alot of the times lately, she doesnt feel well. her health has not been up to par the past year. it is a very hard thing to see. my mom has always been a very hard working determined strong woman, and for me to see her in so much pain is very difficult. i pray for her, and know that one day soon the answers will come to those doctors, and they will finally be able to diagnose her and heal her.
on another note, i am actually thinking of returning to school this fall. i am half way there! i would already be entering the program this fall, but i had my baby girl so that set me back a few semesters. i still dont know if i will return, so i am contemplating going part time. i guess part time is better than no time. it will just be very DIFFICULT with three kids, all my pets, and my husband. dont get me wrong, my husband is very supportive, but lets face it, men were not designed to be mothers, at least my rough n tough guy isn't. last spring he had the kids for 4 hours every night while i was in class, i had a tough schedule that spring, and he couldnt get them into a schedule. i would come home late every night and 99% of the time, you guessed it, they were stil up, bouncing off the walls. i don't know how well he will do with 3 children this time. although it will be only for 2 hours, 2 days out of the week, max!
all of my dreams are currently on hold. that is the price one pays to be a mother. i know what i want, and i will eventually have RN behind my name, but am not sure when exactly that will happen. i see so many obstacles in front of me right now, though, that i totally depend on my support (thanks jacque). jacque is going to school for her RN too, and we both have difficulties, different ones, but diffiulties, the same, so she is my support, and I am hers.
one day, i will be able to fulfill my dream, therefore making me more capable of helping my children reach their dreams. my daughter, at age two, is determined to be a doctor, my son wants to be either a marine, or a paratrooper like daddy. we shall see if this passion of his to be a soldier will follow him, because at age 3 he was determined to be a paleontologist, lol.
