Here are some more pics!!

Yesterday we went to Islands of Adventure and Miss C had a blast at Seuss' Landing...(I must say I did too)

I finally convinced the Ex to go on a Roller Coaster...and it was...Drumroll Please!!!

Miss C on the Carrusel (I am pretty sure I spelled that wrong)

Toodles!!!

Hey...I'm back for a limited time only..

Brief recap:

Got here ok...went to Universal Studios on Saturday...Saw a full fledged Original Barney show...Miss C loved it until we had to take a pic with Barney...she was waaaay more interested in playing in the train and sandbox....tsk tsk..the guy taking the pic told us.."well hey..maybe next year she'll take the pic"..really funny dude..
I convinced my ex to get on One Roller Coaster with me...Woody Woodpecker (yeah..really death defying)..but the line was too long..so he *gasp* agreed to go on The Mummy..and when we got to the line, the ride was closed cuz they were filming a commercial.....U can imagine the sigh of relief from M when he found out he was not gonna have to go on this ride.
U see, here, no one, but moi, gets on these rides, I go solo....

Have not been shopping yet, but am dying to...Well, I did go to some flea markets, but ::shiver:: they didn't have much going on, except for some cool retro chairs I loved.

Went to two schools...West Creek Elementary is winning...totally cool..nice program and excellent personnel. But the other school, made up of trailers, were not all that nice, and I did not like the teacher very much and the school hours were like from 12:30pm till 2:30pm..WTF is that?? I need a school where Miss C can stay ALL day....

Been job hunting...things look really good at this point..Househunting, well that's a whole other issue. I would need to rent for the time being

Haven't gotten on any roller coasters...but my ex inlaws put up the pool today and a Huge Modern Water Slide...in which I have busted my ass many times today, I am not afraid of death defying rollercoasters, but scared shitless of a water slide...go figure...

I have also managed to injure my back on a huge trampoline they have in their backyard...a trampoline to which Miss C wakes up to every day at 8:30 am..."JUMP JUMP"...and I keep getting back on...

Here are some pics...enjoy...I'll post with details later on...

Miss C deciding Barney isn't all that fun (every parents dream come true)

Me grabbing hold for dear life!!

See ya later folks!!

My peeps!! I'm outtie...gone...vamoosh...ciao!!...


Try to be good when u can..and when u can't f*ck it..don't beat urself too hard...


And I'll try to get on as many rollercoaster rides as I can, in between house & school hunting!!!

Mount Everest (new Animal Kingdom ride) here I come ...for shizzle!!!

We interrupt the normally scheduled programming to bring this announcement:

SPOILER ALERT: Curtis Lemanski aka Lem is dead....Someone must pay..now I have to wait God knows how long to see who gonna pay for his death...The writers on The Shield are asses...making me cry like they did..

*********************************

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming...


Ha!! The things parents will do for their kids...


Friday when I picked up my Gold Medalist at school, she was awarded a free ticket to go see:

Barny's Circus Show
featuring: clowns, Baby Bob, My little pony and much much more!!!

No..I did not spell Barny wrong..or Baby Bob..that's how they were spelled on the flyer....immediately I worried...if it's spelled wrong from the get-go..lord knows what else to expect...But I figured..hey maybe they spelled it wrong purposely due to copyright protection..so I gave them the benefit of the doubt...

So we decide to take her cuz she was such a good girl at school on Friday and she did win First Place...so the Ex signs up for this Barny thingy..and we're off..

Now, the signs were there...the mispelling...the small coliseum..but did we see the signs???

NOOOOOOOO, cuz we're stupid hopeful parents...

Personally I don't like Barny,Barney or any other purple dino-shmore who sings in a high strung pathetic voice...but hey...it's better than letting Miss C watch Violent TV, where she has already learned the phrase "Kill..kill"...

So we go inside, get seated...and these clowns come out, do their show..and Miss C is like:

"you stupid ass clowns need to get the f*ck off this stage and need to pull out Barny before I yawn to death"...

So without further a do'...out comes Barny...

The x and I exchange glances of horror!!!

what happened to Barny..he looks like he's on heroin...he is sooooo skinny..and a tad too purple...he needs to put on sunblock when he hangs around at that park with the kids...

But Miss C is like in Shock...She doesn't even blink..

While me and the X are struggling to contain our histerical laughter...even the mom next to us was like:

"What the hell happened to him??"

Then it gets better...Barny brings out Baby Bob...and she's even worse...her face looks like it was in some bad plastic surgery and too much botox....tsk tsk..

So they sing..and dance..and blah blah..Miss C is still in Shock..and then...

Barny says he has some special friends he'd like us to meet (insert very concerned face) and out comes:

Homer and Bart Simpson...

OMG!! WTF???!!!!!

Since when is Barny chummy with Homer and Bart!!!!

So they come out...and now we're really laughing our asses off...and Homer is like dancing to :

Daddy Yankee's song : Gasolina

and is really getting his groove on..but I couldnt stop looking at his 'hair'..
u know how Homer has this receding hair line around his head..well his hair line was looking like the stripe on Charlie Brown's eternal yellow shirt...and Bart..well..let's say Homer probably strangled him too much cuz his neck was like really long....

So anywhoot...they leave...and barny takes a recess..then comes back again to introduce yet another special friend...

So now me and the X are scared of what might come out from those curtains...we've had too much excitement for one day...

Then out comes this thing....it was a cross between a horse and a pig..or a boar...it looked like some cross mutation experiment from the Island of Dr. Moreau...and it had this white long streak mohawk...something like a animal version of Billy Idol on Crack, no I take that back...it looked like the result of a cross mutation of Billy Idol on Crack with a Wild Boar...we didnt have a clue of what that thing was...until Barny announced it was:

My little Pony!!!!

(picture histerical laughter here....banging foreheads with palm of hands...and looking in complete disbelief)..

Shit..that ain't right..they ain't done justice to Miss C's favorite horses...

She didn't even have a clue to what that was....
(I will post pics later)

It sang some type of distorted song and left...
Then out came the last surprise..

Dora the Explorer...who had to be guided to the stage cuz her head was so big from all the fresh purified air she gets in whatever island she lives on...hawaii, maui..whatever...Puerto Rico it ain't...too much vegetation and the air is fresh..anywhoot..so she comes out with her fro'..sings, dances..blah blah...then Barny the acid version shows up..sings..and it's over...

and they didn't even sing the "I love you" song...

Now I cry, because we are emotionally scarred for life...I will never forget those images flashing before me, like some twisted torture device...and I quote a fellow blogger Carolyn:

"OHHH MY EYEEESSS!!! " and I add : "MY EARRRRSS!!"..

Now I am even more concerned about the welfare of my child...she is mute...she didn't even blink...I don't know if she has enjoyed the show..or is actually silently processing this for further discussing with her shrink when she is an adult...hey maybe we can get like a group discount or something...

The things we do for our kids...I've sat through Elmo Live, The Wiggles and now Children's Favorites on Acid...

What have u endured for ur kids lately???

::sigh::

I was not gonna post for the rest of the weekend..but I have come across a dilema:
I am making my suitcase for my trip and:

I CAN'T DECIDE WHICH SHOES TO TAKE...
DO I REALLY HAVE TO JUST PICK A FEW...CAN'T THEY ALL GO...

My Saucony's are kinda of mad. They are the only sneakers I use , they were my baby when I went last year to Orlando and now they might not go.

You see, I am having an affair with New Balance. ::sigh::
I had stopped loving them, cuz, well, we grew apart.

But today, oh Glory Day, as I was whisking through the mall to buy a last minute birthday gift, I realized there was a big sale in all the stores, what they call a "Hall Sale".

::sigh::

I walked past a store and there they were.....

The 710's.
Charcoal Grey, with a lighter grey trim on the side, matching laces and pink NB initials...
I tried to walk away, but they fixated on my mind. I looked at the price tag, casually u know..

::GASP::
They were on sale.

I slowly step back and walk away.

as I turn back to go home, without a birthday gift, I stop once more.

Only one pair left, and they were my size.

A sign of God for sure.

He must be like: Mary, u've had a rough week, u need to comfort ur soul, u need this to relax and be at peace with urself, and they're marked down 60% ...

I got my 710's and Miss C some cute K Swiss for our trip (she really needed some sneaks badly)...

The 710's are right next to me and I won't need them for my trip, but why should I be forced to take only one pair of sneakers, dammit...my 710's need to see the world...My Saucony's already went to Animal Kingdom...

So alas, I am at a crossroad in my life, so i must to mediate, and hope the allmighty fashion god will bring me light and help me make my tough decisions ahead...including which jacket to take...cuz i'm really feeling my new olive green one right now...

Yes, I am sick.
I know.

(shaking head in disgust)...

Goodnight...I will be off to sleep with my 710's and hopefully I will make a decision and be at peace with it...

Cruel Cruel world!!!!
