UGH!!! WHAT A DAY!!!

SO I WENT TO BED WITH A HUGE HEADACHE, WOKE UP WITH AN EVEN WORSE ONE. SO I PRETTY MUSH SPENT MY DAY IN MY ROOM IN THE DARK, THE LIGHT WAS NOT MY FRIEND. UNFORTUNATELY I HAD TO WORK SO I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO GET UP AND FACE THE SUNLIGHT AND ALL THE PAIN THAT CAME WITH IT. AFTER TAKING MY SHOWER I GET OUT (I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE THINKING MAKING THE TOWEL RACK SO FAR AWAY FROM THE SHOWER) AS I WALK OVER TO GET MY TOWEL I SLIPPED AND FELL RIGHT ON MY TUSH.
SO I FINISH GETTING READY FOR WORK, AND ORLANDO IS NICE ENOUGH TO TAKE ME TO WORK, BUT I DIDN'T WANT HIM TO HAVE TO WAIT TOO LONG, SO I DECIDE I WILL FINISH MY MAKE-UP IN THE CAR ON THE WAY THERE. I'M PUTTING ON MY MASCARA AND FROM THE CORNER OF MY EYE I SEE HIM SMILE THEN I FEEL THE BRAKES. LUCKY ME I ACTUALLY CAUGHT ON FAST ENOUGH TO REACT RIGHT AND DIDN'T GET MASCARA EVERY WHERE.
I GET TO WORK, I GO UP TO THE BREAK ROOM, CUZ I'M ABOUT AN HOUR EARLY SO I DECIDE TO GO HANG OUT UP THERE, I GO TO PULL MY PHONE FROM MY HOLSTER AND IT GOES FLYING UNDER THE STUPID LOCKERS!! GRRRRR!! LUCKILY THE COURTESY CLERK STANDING IN THE ROOM WAITING TO CLOCK IN WAS NICE ENOUGH TO CRAWL UNDERNEATH AND GRAB IT FOR ME. OH WAIT PEOPLE MY DAY ISN'T OVER YET. ITS ONLY JUST BEGUN.
AT SOME POINT I DECIDE TO GO DOWN AND GET ME A BAGEL, I EAT MY BAGEL AND I HAVE THE TRASH FORM IT IN ONE HAND AND MY PHONE IN THE OTHER. I'M IN A HURRY BECAUSE GUESS WHAT I'M ABOUT TO BE LATE. I THROW THE PHONE AWAY AND PUT THE TRASH IN MY POCKET. UGH!!!! I REALIZE WHAT I'VE DONE SO DOES THE SAME COURTESY CLERK THAT GOT THE PHONE FROM UNDER THE LOCKERS, HE CAME BACK UP FOR SOMETHING. SO HES NICE ENOUGH TO PUT GLOVES ON AND DIG FOR MY PHONE. THEN DUMMY ME DECIDES TO POST A STATUS AS I'M WALKING OUT TO THE FUEL STATION I SHOULD KNOW BETTER AS WALKING FOR ME IS A CHALLENGE SOMETIMES LOL! I COME A COUPLE STEPS AWAY FROM WALKING RIGHT INTO A HUGE CEMENT PILLAR OUT BY THE PUMPS.
THE REST OF MY NIGHT WENT PRETTY MUCH A NORMAL NIGHT NOT MUCH EXCITEMENT. MY HEADACHE FINDLEY CLEARED UP BUT NOW I'M SITTING UP AND 230AM TYPING THIS. SO I GUESS MY HORRIBLE DAY JUST DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO COME TO AN END!! AHHH THE JOYS OF BEING A CLUMSY INSOMNIAC! :( :)

30TH BIRTHDAY BASH!!

SO SATURDAY WAS MY BABY BROTHERS 30TH BIRTHDAY BASH. IN TRUE PABLO FASHION IT LOOKED MORE LIKE A CHILD'S BIRTHDAY PARTY, BUT MAN O MAN DID I HAVE FUN. SO DID ALL OF THE KIDS INCLUDING THE GREAT BIG ONE NAMED PABLO LOL!

I HAD A LITTLE FUN WITH ROCHELLE FIRST THOUGH, WE WERE RUNNING LATE AS USUAL, SO I THOUGHT I'D BE FUNNY AND TEXT HERE TELLING HER WE WERN'T GONNA MAKE IT AFTER ALL. TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS. I GET A WTF!! RESPONSE WITH SOME OTHER STUFF, THEN A PHONE CALL, THAT I COULDN'T ANSWER CUZ I HAD MY HANDS FULL LOADING OUR SWIM GEAR IN THE CAR. SO THEN A TEXT WE'RE ON OUR WAY BE READY. OOPS TOTALLY NOT THE REACTION I WAS EXPECTING. I WAS EXPECTING SOMETHING LIKE OK MAYBE NEXT TIME. THEN WE WOULD SURPRISE THEM BY SHOWING UP. NOPE TOTALLY BACKFIRED SO I HAVE TO HURRY TO CALL HER BEFORE SHE DRIVES 20 MINUTES FROM MY NINOS HOUSE, TO MY HOUSE TO GET US, WHEN WE WEREN'T HOME ANY LONGER. AWWWW NEVER A DULL MOMENT IN THIS FAMILY. ONLY THIS FAMILY CAN MANAGE TO MAKE PRANKS BACK FIRE LOL!!!
SO I WAS IN THE POOL WITH THE KIDS PLAYING SOME WATER WAR GAME THAT WE MAD UP, WHEN SUDDENLY I FELT THIS STING AND BURN ON MY WRIST I LOOKED AT MY WRIST, JUST THEN I SEE THE BEE FALL OFF THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THAT I WAS STUNG BY A BEE FIRST TIME EVER LOL! I COULD STILL SEE THE STINGER STICKING OUT I KINDA FREAKED CUZ MY HOLE HAND WENT NUMB IDK IF THIS IS NORMAL OR IF IT STUNG ME ON A NERVE OR SOMETHING WHO KNOWS. I SEE PABLO WALKING OUT OF THE HOUSE, AND YELL AT HIM TO HELP ME. IT WAS KINDA CUTE, BECAUSE HE WENT INTO TO TOTAL DAD MODE. ALL SERIOUS AS HE'S FOCUSING ON GETTING THE STINGER OUT. IT TOOK A LIL BIT BUT EVENTUALLY IT CAME OUT. THEN IT SWELLED BAD, BUT MY NINA TURNED TO HER HOME CARE BOOK, SO WE FOUND THAT IF THREES SWELLING FOR A BEE STING YOUR MAKE A BAKING SODA PASTE AND RUB IT ALL OF THE SWOLLEN PART. NOT SURE WHAT THIS DOES EXACTLY BUT IT DID HELP WITH THE SWELLING. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME MY WHOLE HAND AND WRIST WAS SORE LIKE I SMASHED IT OR SOMETHING WHO KNOWS IF THAT'S NORMAL I TOOK A ANTIHISTAMINE AND WAS OUT FOR THE NIGHT, BUT I DIDN'T FEEL ANYTHING THE NEXT DAY SO I GUESS THAT'S A PLUS.
OVER ALL A PRETTY FUN PARTY BUT MOST OF OUR FAMILY GET TOGETHER ARE FUN SO I WASN'T DISAPPOINTED.

TIME IS FLYING

SO TONIGHT WAS THE SCIENCE FAIR AT JASMINES SCHOOL. I WAS SO PROUD OF MY BABY GIRL. I STILL THINK SHE SHOULD HAVE PLACED LOL! BUT SHE GOT FIRST PLACE LAST YEAR SO SHE WAS OK WITH JUST GETTING A PARTICIPATION RIBBON.
I LOVE SEEING HER WITH ALL HER LITTLE FRIENDS, SHES GROWING UP SO FAST I CANT STAND IT. THEY ALL HAVE GROWN UP SO FAST, THE BOYS ARE GOING TO 7TH GRADE NEXT YEAR, AND JAZZY WILL BE IN 5TH. IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY THAT THEY STARTED KINDERGARTEN! AND ARTIE OMG I CANT BELIEVE THAT HE WILL BE FINISHING KINDER HERE IN A COUPLE WEEKS, HE'S SUCH A BIG BOY HE DOESN'T EVEN WANT MOM WALKING HIM TO CLASS ANYMORE, AND MISS BELLE SHES SO EXCITED TO BE STARTING KINDER NEXT YEAR, ME I'M A LIL SAD, SOON THEY WILL ALL BE IN SCHOOL AS MUCH AS I HAVE LOOKED FORWARD TO THIS, IT SCARES ME, BEFORE I KNOW IT THEY WILL ALL BE GROWN UP AND ON THEIR OWN. I GUESS I'M ALREADY GETTING EMPTY NEST SYNDROME YEARS A HEAD OF TIME LOL! OH WELL GROWING UP IS APART OF LIFE SO I WILL JUST ENJOY THEM WHILE I CAN!

OLD FOLKS HOME HERE WE COME!!!!

"BIRTH MOTHERS" DAY

SO SATURDAY WAS "BIRTH" MOTHERS DAY, AND ADOPTIVE PARENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO RECOGNIZE THE "HERO" MOTHERS THAT DID THIS COURAGEOUS THING BY PUTTING THEIR CHILDREN UP FOR ADOPTION.
I WONDER IF WHO EVER CAME UP WITH THIS EVER REALIZED THAT, MAY JUST MAYBE SOME OF THEM ARE A LITTLE SELFISH AND IF AUTHORITIES DIDN'T STEP IN WOULD NOT HAVE DONE SO WILLINGLY. NOT BECAUSE THEY LOVE THEIR CHILD OR THINK ITS BEST FOR SAID CHILD TO STAY WITH THEM, BUT BECAUSE TO THEM THE CHILD IS SIMPLY SOMETHING THEY FEEL THEY OWN.
AS AN ADOPTIVE PARENT I AM GRATEFUL TO THE BIRTH MOTHER OF MY KIDS FOR BRINGING THEM INTO THIS WORLD. BUT HERO SHE IS FAR FROM IT. MY CHILD SUPPERS DAILY FOR HER MISTAKES, AND I CAN'T JUST ACT LIKE SHE S THIS GREAT PERSON FOR GIVING ME THIS GIFT. THE STATE GAVE ME THESES GIFTS, THEY PLACES THEM WITH ME TO LOVE AND NURTURE SOMETHING BIRTH MOM KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT, JUST BECAUSE SHE CARRIED THEM DOESN'T MEAN SHES MORE IMPORTANT TO THEIR EXISTENCE THEN I AM OR IMPORTANT AT ALL. SO FOR "BIRTH MOTHERS" DAY I THANK THE STATE, AND CPS CASE WORKERS FOR MY 2 GIFTS, FOR THEY ARE 2 GIFTS I WILL FOREVER CHERISH ALONG WITH MY BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN

DEAR DADDY!

ITS BEEN OVER 2 YEARS NOW SINCE YOU TOOK YOUR LAST BREATH. EVERYDAY IT SEEMS TO GET HARDER TO EXPECT THAT YOUR NOT COMING BACK. I TRY TO THINK POSITIVE AND NOT BE SAD, BUT SOMETIMES I JUST CANT HELP IT. PEOPLE SAY "REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES, HE WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO BE SAD". REMEMBERING JUST MAKES ME SADDER, BUT I CANT HELP BUT REMEMBER.SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE SAYING "HE DOESN'T EXPECT ME TO BE HAPPY AND GO ON AS IF HE DIDN'T MATTER EAITHER". SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE NO ONE CAN UNDERSTAND MY PAIN. SOMETIMES THE PAIN OF NOT HAVING YOU AROUND IS TOO MUCH TO BARE, I KNOW YOUR NOT GONE COMPLETELY. I KNOW THAT YOUR IN EVERY MEMORY AND MOST OF ALL IN MY HEART. BUT I WISH I COULD JUST HUG YOU ONE LAST TIME AND GIVE A KISS AND HEAR YOU TELL ME ANOTHER STORY, OR TELL ME HOW TO TAKE YOU TO GRANDMA'S HOUSE, EVEN THOUGH I HAD TAKEN YOU THERE HUNDREDS OF TIMES AND I KNEW MY WAY! I THINK OF YOU EVERYDAY, AND I MISS YOU EVERY DAY. I KNOW YOUR GONE AND CAN'T COME BACK. I KNOW THAT ON THAT DAY YOU TOOK YOUR LAST BREATH, YOU WERE FREED. FREED FROM ALL YOU PAIN AND SUFFERING THAT YOU ENDURED FOR SO MANY YEARS. I KNOW THAT YOUR WATCHING OVER US EVERYDAY. I DO TAKE COMFORT IN THAT. BUT I WILL NEVER STOP MISSING YOU DADDY. SO AS YOU WATCH OVER ME AND MY FAMILY OUR SPECIAL ANGEL, JUST KNOW HOW MUCH YOUR LOVED AND MISSED EVERYDAY!

IT'S TIME TO HIDE THE SCISSORS

SO A FEW WEEKS AGO, BELLA DECIDED TO GIVE HER SELF A HAIR CUT. SHE CUT IT SO SHORT ON THE ONE SIDE THAT I THOUGHT MAYBE WE WERE GONNA HAVE TO SHAVE IT. SO I TOOK HER TO GET IT CUT, THE LADY THAT DID IT DID A GREAT JOB, JUST SHORTENED IT ALL AND CUT IT SO I KINDA WAS A COMB OVER. WELL ONCE AGAIN HER BIG SISTER JASMINE LEFT THE DARN SCISSORS OUT AFTER DOING HER CRAFT STUFF, AND BELLA GOT A HOLD OF THEM AND CUT HER HAIR.. AHHHHHHHH!! SHE CUT PART OF THE COMB OVER. ITS STEEL PASSABLE THANK GOODNESS. BUT I SWEAR I WANT TO THROW ALL THOSE DARN SCISSORS AWAY! I KEEP TELLING JASMINE TO PUT THEM UP WHEN SHE'S DONE. NOW SHE'S MAD BECAUSE SHE CANT USE THEM ANYMORE WITHOUT GETTING THEM FROM ME AND GIVING RIGHT BACK. I JUST HOPE HER HAIR GROWS BACK FAST. BEFORE SHE GETS A HOLD OF ANOTHER PAIR SCISSORS....
