Sometimes I don’t know how to be Me
I’ve been a Mom for almost 9 years now. That means that sometimes (ok most of the time) I have to put my own needs and wants second and third. Right now Mister is working nights and will be until December. That means its up to me to get the kids fed, entertained, bathed, bedded and whatever else home demands in between. I think I do a pretty good job at it, if I do say so myself. Yeah, my floors need a quick mopping but at least we’ve got a cabinet filled with toilet paper and the kids have clean clothes…wait…no they don’t I need to do their laundry tonight. Scratch that.
Anyway, being Mom means that I don’t get to sit down and watch any television program, uninterrupted, before 10:30 pm. I don’t get to sit and read for hours like I use to. I’m sure there are a lot of Mom’s who know exactly what I’m talking about.
Well, yesterday afternoon my sister called me to ask if she and her boyfriend can take my girls with them to the movies. Uh, dumb question. HELL YEAH you can take my kids! And the best part? The movie didn’t start until 6:30 but they were leaving at 5:30. That means the little devils darlings were gone before I got home at 5:45. But wait! That’s still not the best part! Ha! The best part was they went to see the new Harry Potter movie! You know what that meant, right? Their little asses weren’t going to be home until almost 10:30!!!
Being alone I took advantage of the time. I put away the groceries Mister didn’t put away. I sat online for a bit. I grilled myself some chicken and made a beautiful salad. I sat and watched Big Love, uninterrupted. I did two loads of laundry. I folded and put away said loads of laundry. I straightened up our room and then I sat and read for almost TWO hours! Can you believe that shit?!
There were a few minutes when I found myself wandering aimlessly though our tiny house looking for stuff to do. I’m not use to actually having time to myself. Or I should say that much time to myself. It was weird and wonderful at the same time.
The kids got home around 10:15 and I have to say I missed them. Cece’s house was back to normal with the noise of bickering children and the sight of shoes and socks in the middle of the living room. Ahhh, I wouldn’t change it for the world.

WTF was I thinking last night?
Yesterday afternoon I texted my sister & asked if she wanted to drink Sangria with me in the evening. If you knew my sister you’d know that was really a dumb question. lol Monday is her day off so of course she’s going to drink with me. Beside having Monday off my sister likes to party!
So she came over, I sent her to the store to buy me a 12 pack of beer, which I has NO intentions of drinking it all. We hung out, then my grandma (who lives w/her) came over and hung out with us. It was funny, I think grandma was a little drunk last night, too. lol Luckily all she has to do is stumble walk next door and she’s home.
So I ended up drinking the whole 12 pack of beer. We set my sister up with a new Gmail account and I put her ass on MySpace.com! lol MY sister HATES when I get online while we’re partying. She must’ve been drunk to not only not bitch about it but participate!
Oh and around 9:00′ish she called down our parents house to ask my dad about music for Mister’s MySpace account! I shit you not. We couldn’t remember who sang the song Bad Boys (from COPS) so she called our dad. My mom answered, heard us and she turns to my dad and says Manuel, your girls are drunk and need your help with music. lol Thanks, Mom. Its all good though, because my ass is at work, no matter how much like shit I feel today. I still made it and that’s all that counts, right? Oh and my sis tried talking me into staying home today! That dirty whore. I told her I couldn’t because I had an 8:00 meeting (dude, who fucken schedules meetings for 8:00 on MONDAY??? My prick of a boss does!) and I’m taking a sick day in 2 weeks, going to Disneyland, yo! hehehehe
I’m here. I’m hungover. I’m hungry. My head hurts. And I didn’t get a chance to poop because I woke up late. Its going to be a long fucken day. Entertain me.

An exercise tip for you ladies
If I have any male readers you might want to check in another day…Ok, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Just about everyone who exercises has got tips to offer for anyone who will stand still long enough to listen, right? Well that makes me no different. I’ve got one, too. No, its not going to be about stretching for 5 minutes before you head out. Or consult your doctor before starting an exercise program. Nah, my tip is something you probably wouldn’t have thought twice about unless you were stupid enough like me to do it.
Here’s what I’ve got for you: Never go walking, in the middle of rush hour traffic, on a busy street, in 90 degree heat, wearing boy shorts panties and nylon jog pants the same day you just shaved your crotch.
Ha! See! I told you you would never have thought of that unless you were stupid enough like me to have done it first!
Talk about heating the stubble up! Damn! I practically pushed my kids, Boot Camp style, to rush my itchy, sweaty ass crotch home so I could strip off my hot pants and take my hot ass crotch to a cool shower and scratch in private! Now I remember why I don’t shave there on a regular basis because that shit ITCHES like a bitch when I do.
So there you have it. If you’re stupid enough to do it like me then don’t complain because I warned you.
Oh and by the way, in the last four days my kids and I have walked 6 hours and 12 miles! ROCK ON!

More random facts about Me
1) I will NOT listen to Michael Jackson songs. WON’T do it. I don’t care who is in the room/car I’ll either change the station or leave the room. I really believe he is guilty of abusing those children and I’ve got it in my head that listening to his music equals supporting him and I REFUSE to support anyone who hurts children!
2) I need the egg carton to be equal. We usually buy eggs, like our beer, in 18 packs! LMAO And when I remove eggs from the carton they’ve got to be in 2’s. And when I remove them I then rearrange all the eggs in the carton so its even. I’m talking the row in the middle usually has the most eggs going across. The top/bottom rows have to have the same number of eggs and they’ve got to be in the same spaces so be identically laid out. It an odd thing I do, but I do it. Oh and if the carton doesn’t have an even number of eggs it bugs me! I’m serious. Sometimes I have to put the egg carton back in the fridge and tell myself Just walk away from the eggs.
3) When I was in school and use to walk all over the place I would add up the numbers on license plates. I would add those numbers together, then the next plate I saw I’d add those up plus the first one and keep doing it over and over and over again until I either arrived at my destination or couldn’t add any more. Now I hate math.
4) I wash my feet A LOT. I can’t stand my feet to be dirty, yet I love being bare foot! If I wear sandals to work, then I wash my feet when I get home. If I wear flip flops and I’m running errands on the weekend, I’ll usually wash my feet between going out again. Ironically, I’ve got lots of pictures of The Snitch and her dirty feet! lol While I was in Idaho I can’t tell you how many times I washed my feet that Friday night because we spent so much time at the park watching baseball games!
5) When I go to people’s house I always look at the floor boards and the toilet base. Growing up my mom use to get on our asses for not cleaning the floor boards and toilet base! I use to say Who looks there??? She’d yell I DO! And now I do, too. I hate it, really.
6) I’m very judgemental. I see a person walking and immediately think/talk shit about them in my head. Its usually mean stuff too. This I am really working on not doing. I swear.
7) Every now and then I Google my ex-boyfriends just to see what comes up. Nothing so far. Hell! Every now and then I Google MYSELF!
When I get hot my upper lip sweats first. Its embarrassing. And now I found out that Drama Queen has the same thing happen to her. Poor child. lol

A tough question
I was skipping around reading blogs and stumbled across this at Frazzled Farm Wife’s blog and had to participate. If you’d like to take it from me go right ahead. Just leave me a comment when you’ve done it so I can go by your place and read your answers.
If you could change 3 days in your life what would they be? You cannot bring anybody back from the dead and if you are in a bad marriage, you cannot say the day you were married.
1- I would have made sure I went on vacation with my parents, to NM, in July 2000. That was the last time my cousin was alive. He was killed two days later.
2- I would have said No when my aunt offered me that first line of crystal.
3- When Al asked me out I would have said No. I wouldn’t have spent five years in drugs, crime and abuse. Who knows, if I hadn’t cheated and broke up with him, to be with Al, Raymond still might be alive today.

Something I just heard on the radio
Ryan Seacrest hosts a local morning radio show here in L.A. and its what I listen to while getting ready for work. This morning, when I turned it on, he was reading a letter from a listener asking his advise on something. I’m going to give you the run down and lets discuss it.
Ok, so this lady has been with her husband for over 10 years. About 11 years ago their relationship began facing rough times and she feared it would end soon. So to save her relationship she gets pregnant. But not by him. She gets pregnant and tells him the baby is his, though, and things magically change between them and now things are perfect. Five years into their daughter’s life he decides its time to complete their family and they marry. Now the child is ten years old and he has no idea she is not his daughter. What should she do? He and the child are very close, closer than she is with her daughter. She’s asking Ryan for advise.
WWYD? How does that story make you feel? Would/could you ever do something like that? Discuss.
I’m drinking tonight
Well, actually, I’m drinking right now.
Since Mister missed my bday, on Tuesday, he’s invited my family over tonight for a BBQ. He’s been smoking ribs since before noon. Damn, that food smells GOOD! I’ve already had 3 beers and one glass of the white sangria I mixed up last night. Its going to be a good night. I LOVE partying with my family.
Oh & last night, my Comadre gave me a $40 gift card for Starbucks! Dude, seriously, $40 for Starbucks! Are you KIDDING m3e?! Whoohoo! Ice Coffee for DAYS! And right now my son just gave me a $30 Macy’s card. Then he tells me I treat you better than I do my REAL mom! lol I wanted to say Its because I treat YOU better than your real mom does! but I kept that to myself. lol
I hope y’all are having a good Saturday night because I know I will be!
Peace out.
