Howdy...Aint' it a fine Sunday evening...sure it is..except for the fact that I think I might be catching a cold from one, dirty bacteria ridden child...they are zest pools for colds...

Anyway.

"X" was here at 8am to set up our pool. I was less than thrilled cuz I was still sleeping. I went to bed late last night reading. Yes. I read. LOL.

So we start the pool thing...we get it opened..find the best spot..and are all very very excited...

Miss C is later taken down, while the pool is filling up and you should've seen her eyes..She went haywire..

"That is Miss C's pool!!!!!!"...

Awesome.

So we let her dip in the pool while it was filling up. The sun's out, she's having fun and we are all happy.

But, this is my blog. This is my life. And u know by now that it all can't be peaches 'n' cream. It will never be peaches 'n' cream. About half-way through the pool filling process, the outer inflatable ring starts to lose air. We figure it was not closed tight enough, so 'X' fills it back up. While I was upstairs he calls:

"The pool ring is broken, it keeps on losing air".

OUT OF ALL OF THE FUCKING POOLS AT THE STORE, I, OH I, HAVE TO PICK UP THE BAD, CRAPPY ASS POOL!!! JUST MY LUCK.

So I immediatley go, 'well we have to take it back now'...due to the fact that Miss C was out of the pool eating and it was the best time to empty it out, cuz she had just gotten out. So my dad is like : "But wait till I get in for a while and then empty it out.."

WTF???!!

We have to empty it out NOW!!! Cuz if we wait longer, Miss C is gonna wanna go back in and then it will be impossible to get her back out.

So the "X" complies. We empty out the shit pool and he heads out to return it.
90 minutes later he comes back and we set to fill out the pool for a second time.
I am so glad we decided to fill it out today and not the day of her b-day bash, cuz ha!! what a surprise we were gonna have...
Things went smoothly this time..and after I made dinner, nice delicious pasta which everyone loved, we all got in the pool, "X", Miss C , bro and I...Gosh I have so much water in my ear, u can put a fish in through the canal..

We splashed and played like lil' kids..Miss C played too..We had an awesome time.
I just hope she doesn't wanna go in the pool tomorrow when we leave to daycare...

Wish me luck..cuz this pool is a make it or break it deal...if I post tomorrow it means I'm still alive and have not jumped off my roof diving into the hell pool.

Toodles...

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Tell me, mirror, what is wrong?
Can it be my de la clothes
Or is it just my de la song?
What I do ain’t make-beleive
People say I sit and try
But whan it comes to being de la
It’s just me myself and i

It’s just me myself and i
It’s just me myself and i
It’s just me myself and i

By: De la Soul....
Me, Myself and I....

If I didn't mention it before, I will know:

My b-day gift to Miss C is a pool. A small filter pool, since she enjoys water so much. K mart had them on sale. I went during the week, with no money to make sure the pools were in stock. There were plenty of them. Guess what happened when I went to buy it on Friday????

NO Fucking pools...NO WHERE...IN NO OTHER STORES!!! THERE WERE LIKE 50 POOLS ON THURSDAY...AND THE NEXT DAY NO POOLS, ANYWHERE??!!! A MASSIVE POOL SPREE ON THE ISLAND, WERE THERE GONNA BE NO POOLS FOR THE REST OF THE SUMMER...IS THERE SOME KIND OF FUTURE POOL SHORTAGE I WAS NOT AWARE ABOUT?? ARE POOL COMPANIES FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY?

SHIT.

should have charged it to my credit card.

Anyway, long story short..went to another store this morning before therapy...

ALELUYA..

The POOL...on sale as well, I grabbed that bitch up and hauled ass to the check out line...without hearing Miss C wail that she wanted a PONY.

Fuck. spending my money on a pool when she is happy with a 6 buck pony.

Now the only problem is, that I did not contemplate the logistics of where the pool is to be put. See, we have a large backyard, but like my family, it's all fucked up. uneven ground everywhere...cement on some spots, rocks..and not to mention no electricity outlet anywhere. I'll keep ya posted, cuz the "X" will stop by tomorrow to get the thing set up.

*********

Something I hate and must clarify. I rarely return calls. I mean, if u call and I can't answer and u don't leave a message, I won't call. If u leave a message and I am busy and clearly understand it is not an emergency, I'll try to remember to call back, but I usually don't. If u call and I pick up and tell u I will call u back, don't wait around, cuz I won't. That is just the way I am. I forget. I get involved doing stuff that if I do remember to call back it's waaaay to late to. People need to understand this and comprehend it's not some sort of personal vendetta. Dont' take it personal. And don't, don't don't

DON'T!!!!

Leave me 20 zillion messages in this tone:

"Hey it's me, again...why don't u call me back...do u not wanna talk to me?? It seems like u don't..blah blah blah..."

or

"Hey...I've called u like 5 times (yeah, I should know..I have all ur missed calls), call me...shit..u never call back".

None of the above are clearly emergencies.

I have this one friend, who I love dearly, but she will call trillions of times, leave like trillions of voice messages, she will text message me..call me from an alternate phone..I mean, anything in her power to try to get a hold of me. She has called me sometimes on a Sunday at 9am!!! On a Sunday!!!! MY ONLY DAY TO SLEEP IN...AND U CALL AT 9AM TO BULLSHIT...OMFG.

OH AND:

Don't call 20 zillion times and leave 20 zillion messages. I got the point by the 5th message. Shit.

and the people who usually leave these messages are people who:

A) Got it made and have people doing everything for them

B) Who don't have it made, but don't give a shit if their house is falling in pieces and assume u can sit on ur ass all day and talk on the phone while watching soap operas.

I do not fall into either category. So please take a chill pill and calm the fuck down.

And don't tell me:

"Well I was worried about u...since u don't answer ur phone..."

::rolling eyes::

********
And to complete my vortex of a weekend, "X" wants to take all my unreleased recordings (of what was supposed to be my first album) and release it, of course, doing some nip and tuck, here and there. I am not truly convinced of this idea, just yet, but I will keep ya posted.

One for the Money, Two for the Show!

Weekend is here...hurrah..Kitchen will be closed. Those who need food, please head out to ur local KFC, Mc D's or anyother fast food joint of ur choice.

Here's Friday's Four...dedicated to...clothes:

4 items of my wardrobe I could not live without...well I could live without..but not as fashionably..

1. Gap Jean Jacket...it has puffy sleeves and is really cute...Best of all I got it on sale and goes great with everything, from casual outfits to nice girly dresses...

2. My Dollhouse light blue washed jeans...They fit before my daugther and they fit now...I love love love em'...

3. My black spaghetti strap top...it shows the right amount of cleavage, is sooo comfy and makes me look thin!! Hurrah...

4. My Yankees baseball cap...It is a must for the weekend, for supermarket trips and local therapy outtings with Miss C...I am a fan of hats, scarves and anything that covers my head...especially when I need a haircut. Like now.

what r ur closet must haves?

******
For a BONUS..HERE'S THE QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"El que necesita, ANDA".

"He who needs, walks."

It seems like lately I am a target of someone's affection...I'm not gonna give u any more publicity..well..maybe I will ...later..but u know who u are..

U who sugggest that my sink is clogged because I destroy our planet by throwin' my old oil down the drain..which I don't...::stickin' out tongue::

U who I have a picture wearing a Chicago Bulls jersey with a Black wide ass NIKE headband and a blond head full of Volumax Curls and black Charles Barkely sneaks...

U who I have another pic wearing silver lipstick..yes silver lipstick...don't make me scan it...lol...

U who make fun of me cuz I get my hair cut at Supercuts...yada yada yada...we can't all be supermodels..Haha...

U who knows that once we went to meet some guys at an apartment and right before we got there I got a huge stomach ache that forced me to use a ::gasp:: public restroom at a Gas Station....ROTF....Omfg..do u REMEMBER THAT??!!!!

....And I'm not even gonna go into the whole Supergirl incident at Walgreens (it has to do with flying without a cape)...cuz I won't be able to type it..cuz I'm already in complete hysteria...

Oh God...we have been through so many many odd, funny and sad times together...and it's nice to know I am still the target of ur affection..and u are mine...

Here's to 14 years of signing "killing me softly" in an old green datsun that took us to the fugees concert and to the beach...here's to a kick ass grey porshe that took us to Rio Hondo Mall to eat fries while ur mom did her hair, and to the same car that took us to MY senior Prom, which I had the Honor to go to with u...and was even more honored that ur mom took us there...

Ok..that's enough...I feel old...dammit we are old..."Onyx..ta da ra ta da ra..let boys be boys!!!"...

U know who u are...and I know too.!

****************
On another less emotional note...
Last night, long ass night.
Dinner. blah blah...bathtime blah blah.

Around 2am...something wet cold...nope, not almond milk this time.
I extend my hand to touch Miss C...she took off her diaper...lil prick!!!

She wet the bed...
So I had to get her up, change her, change sheets and blankets and pj's at that hour...I even managed to scrape a knuckle as I was on a chair trying to get some clean sheets from my short people impaired closet...

::sigh:: mother'hood' is the bomb.
