Well, it's still raining but thankfully I won't have to wash my hair outside because our water is back! Woohoo! l don't think the neighbors would have appreciated listening to me "sing in the shower" LOL

We have water now........rain water that is. It's raining outside but still no water inside. Maybe I should stand outside and wash my hair? ROFL I have to leave in a few hours. Hopefully our water will be back on by then!

We have no water! I have a limo run at 4 o'clock, we have no water and I still need to take a shower!!!! I hate when this happens. One of the draw backs of living in a little town because this has happened way too often. Usually it's not that big of a deal although this does seem to happen right when I'm in a hurry to go somewhere. Hopefully it is just a maintenance thing and they will have it turned back on shortly. My mom is out in the shop washing limo's and I'm sure she's not a happy camper right now!

I was so exhausted yesterday. I only slept about 2 hours before Anthony woke me up. I was supposed to do an airport pickup late last night and almost started crying when my mom called to tell me that instead of picking them up at 11pm, I would have to pick them up at 2am because the flight was delayed. My mom must have heard the panic in my voice when she told me. I was soooo tired at that point, my contacts felt glued to my eyes and I could barely keep them open. Thankfully she got Nathan to do it instead.

So I got a good nights' sleep other than being woken up by Anthony crying in the middle of the night because he fell out of bed. He came running in my room for a kiss and then went back to bed and fell right asleep. lol

Not much else going on this weekend. I never did go school shopping. I'd better do that soon. I usually buy most of their supplies while the girls are gone but I have to wait for them to get home before I buy their clothes because they are both so darn picky I hate to waste money buying them clothes they won't wear. This year I think I am going to skip buying the glittery pencils for Danielle. Last year I found out that the girls in her class were talking her into trading them the glittery pencils for their boring, yellow pencils. So this year they will probably all have the glittery pencils, I bet they won't want to trade now! ROFL

I just got home. I had a last minute limo run to the casino tonight. It takes an hour to get there, a four hour stay and then an hour home. It makes for a very long, boring night. I forgot to take a book to read so I ended up buying a magazine. I lost $10 in the slot machines. Not a very exciting night although I did get a good tip which was nice. Since it's already Friday, I figured I'd do my Friday Five. I can't believe it's already Friday! I can't believe it's already August! Time is flying by way too fast which is good because the girls will be home soon but bad because summer is almost over. They had some really good specials at Wal-Mart on school supplies so I think I will head there tomorrow and stock up on stuff. I love school shopping! If I don't get a chance to post again, have a great weekend!

1. What is your lineage? Where are your ancestors from?
Both of my parents are Mexican-American with Mexican and American-Indian ancestory.

2. Of those countries, which would you most like to visit?
Well, my options are limited so I would have to say Mexico :-)

3. Which would you least like to visit? Why?
Since I don't have any other country to choose from I guess I don't have an answer to this one.

4. Do you do anything during the year to celebrate or recognize your heritage?
We celebrate Cinco de Mayo every year with a pinata for the kids and lots of Mexican food and margaritas. I am very proud of my heritage but being in North Dakota I don't have many options to expose my kids to their heritage.

5. Who were the first ancestors to move to your present country (parents, grandparents, etc)?
On my mother's side my grandfather was working on our family tree for many years before he passed away. From what he researched our family has been in the United States in the California area since it was still Mexico. On my father's side from what I know his great-great-grandparents lived in New Mexico so I'm not sure when they came from Mexico to the United States.

The honeymoon is over. We had way too much fun and it went by way too fast. We did miss Anthony like crazy so it was good to get home. We got home yesterday but didn't do much. We spent the day taking Anthony to the movie and then to the park. Today John is back to work and life goes back to normal. Wisconsin was so much fun, we stood here because it was kind of a center point to everywhere we wanted to go. We spent a day in the Dell's which was incredible, we couldn't believe how much stuff they had to do there! We are already planning to take all of the kids there next summer. This time I take a list though! LOL It was just way too overwhelming with all of the things they have to do there. We are both looking forward to going next year and can't wait for the kids to see it.

I do have to share one of those stupid moments that I swear could only happen to me! John and I were relaxing in our hotel room and I decided to light these cute little candles I had brought along (a gift from Sandy). The lights are already dimmed as I light one, two, three and get to the fourth candle. Suddenly, my thumb feels warm. I look down and the damn thing is on fire! Not my thumb but one of these stupid acrylic nails my mom insisted I get for the wedding. I look at it in shock and then blow it out. The whole tip of my nail is scorched and I feel like a complete idiot! I tell John and we both sit there laughing our asses off. Sheesh....the stupid things that happen to me, I really should write a book! ROFL

You know how you're on vacation and everything goes by in a blur? I wish I could share all of the fun stuff we did but first it was our honeymoon so I'm sure you don't want to know EVERYTHING! LOL and secondly there would be just too much to write. Let me just say that we had lots of fun and we have decided that we are going on a "honeymoon" every year! :-)

I talked to the girls when we got home. They are having fun in California, they have already been to Disneyland and California Adventure. I think they are going to Magic Mountain next weekend. I miss them so much but I am so glad they are having fun.

Let's see...what else? Nathan and his family are stopping by to pick up their kitten tonight, John is back to work today, I have laundry to do and a van to clean, and my mom potty trained Anthony while we were gone! Can you believe that? I am so happy, I was really dreading having to do that!
Anthony "wrote" a letter to his Uncle Gilly telling him all about it. *Click Here* to read, it is so funny!

I guess that is it. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and as soon as I have time I'll catch up on my daily reads. ~::~Hugs~::~

Added later: OMG, I can't believe I forgot to tell you this. I am a grandma! ROFL John's oldest son and his wife had a baby girl last week named Shelby Lynn. Sadly, John and his son are estranged right now but we have a card and gift we plan to send and maybe someday we will get to see John's granddaughter. Until then she is in our hearts and we are happy to know that she is healthy and very much loved.
