Visitors

Welp, our visitors arrived about 9:15pm Monday night & man was Mike tired. He stayed up til a little before 10 but had to go to sleep because he has a 4:20 wakeup. YAWN! I stayed up a little longer just because I felt weird going to bed before our guests but once MIL (mother in law) headed to bed so did I. Our dogs have not slept with us since our visitors came. The first night both perros slept with their grandparents. Last night, Hersh slept with his grandparents & Cinn slept with her uncle. Our dogs don't love us anymore.

I had a doctor's appt yesterday but I switched it because Mike was going to see about getting off. Then he said he couldn't so I started the slow-cooked tri-trip for enchiladas. The in-laws & I headed to Chipotle for lunch, then to wally world. Not 10 minutes after we got home Mike showed up & guess what he was done for the day. Ay! So, meat came out of the crockpot & into the oven (to cool, it was super hot) so we could head to Tucson. Mike's car is quite behind schedule (*grumble*) but it's already had parts taken off & some sanding. It did not look like his car anymore. Mike was a bit upset, that's his baby. He kept saying she looked like she was in a wreck. :( Then we headed to the movies. We were 2 hours early so there was game playing. Mike & Jason kicked some Terminator butt!($12 worth). Then we headed to go watch Transformers again! The BIL really really wanted to see it so we agreed to watch it again. :) After the movie (at 7pm) we ate Olive Garden!!! Yums! MIL & I shared the Lemon Cream Cake....ohm it was GOOD! Mike & his dad shared the raspberry white chocolate cheesecake. We got home about 9:15 & pretty much headed to bed. YAWN AWN!!! Mike woke up at 4:20 & I was up at 5 so we were SLEEPY!

Today has been a lazy day. The BIL is still sleeping & it's 1pm! The PIL(parents in law) are sleepy but I think holding it together. I too am super sleepy! YAWNS! My tri-trip is already shredded & just stewy in the enchilada sauce. Tonight, we will feast!!! Beef Enchilada, Fajita Rice, & Black Bean Refried Beans. Oh, how could I forget, MIL's homemade SALSA! Yum um um um UM!!!! I love her homemade salsa!

Welp, that's all that's going on. The visit is good & dinner should be too. Goodness, I need to stop yawning!

ALMOST

I am almost done cleaning my house. Why? Because I got a call at 1 from my mother in law asking if it was ok for them to show tonight. What am I going to say?! I know you're bored in S.D. but no, you can't come. Hahaha! So I panicked for a while. In 3 hours I went from thinking, 'oh I have today & tomorrow, maybe a little of wednesday' to 'shoot, it needs to be 95% done today so I can finished up the last bit tomorrow morning' to 'it needs to be done in 8 hrs' which add dinner & clean up from that to it. I was freaking for 30 minutes then just went into clearheaded cleaning. My house is 80% done. I have mostly minor things & a few big things. Sweeping the kitchen & dining room is the big thing. Bathing the dogs & myself is the other big thing. I think my bath will be the last thing for the day. I know I've freaked about my in-laws coming but that was just from the cleaning stress. I want the house to be clean & nice for company. Family or Not, I don't them coming into a dirty stinky house. Ja know! :) I am excited about them coming, I've been hoping they'd come since my family came the end of May. I wish Mike had more time off but hopefully he's able to take part of Thursday off so they get some real time with him. We'll have fun, I knows-zit!

Ugh! I guess I need to go clean my beasts. Or wash the new dishes. Or clean the tables. Or sweep. Hahaha! So I have a few more things to do. :) Happy Week Everys-one!

(I do realize some things have added 's' or letters, I meant to do that)

Never Know how the ??? will fall.

What is that saying? I can't freaking think of it. Anyways, you get my drift. So today was suppose to be our Tucson trip. I talked to Mike yesterday & his mind is about as absent as mine has been. I told him my proposal (switching to thurs so he could get family time) & he kinda 'ey...maybe'd me. I bring it up a few hours later & he doesn't know what I'm talking about, why would we not go tomorrow? *head meets wall* He says he's not sure but he'll ask. Last night I bring it up again, man I seem like a nag, haha, but actually was just asking if we were just going to go today & not worry about trying to change it. He said yes because "it was hard enough getting the ok for monday off so he didn't think he'd be able to get all of Thurs off". Ok, it was NOT hard for him to get it off. He mentioned it to me & within 3 minutes he's telling me we have the go-ahead. Also, he could've worked the first half of Thursday & then we take off for Tucson. Still a half day but more time for fun/good eats in Tucson. So anyways, he was kinda being a butt but whatever. So I get excited. I'm a little worried with the not being able to clean today but hey, I didn't feel like it anyways so ya....lunch in Tucson with my babe. Or not! Hahaha! They're short staffed so we couldn't go & I think he said it'll be moved to Thursday. Well.....hahaha! It's good if it really is moved to Thursday because then he will get family time. I am disappointed because I was looking forward to today. Also, I really am not feeling this cleaning crap today, ugh! :) I really don't have much left to do but I still don't want to do it. I've been cleaning off & on all morning.

• Spare bedroom-almost ready
• Computer room aka 2nd spare bedroom-almost ready.
• Our bedroom-needs vacuuming & that's all.
• Our bath, noone will see it so who cares.
• Spare Bath-Mike scrubbed the tub & that's all. Punk! Though I did say when I was all energized yesterday that I would take care of the rest. I later kicked myself for saying it.
• Kitchen & Dining room-counters scrubbed & everyday dishes clean. New dishes need washing. Sweep & Mop!
• Livingroom-vacuumed. will again on Tuesday or Wednesday (whatever day they're coming) Need dusting & window cleaning.
• Dogs Need Baths!
• Laundry room-CLEAN!
• Laundry-working on it. It's a never-ending process.

I just sneezed & bite my tongue. Freaking OW! My allergeries are going insane the last few days. So is my body. Not cool, nooooot coooool! :) I'm in a weird mood. A partly asleep, don't feel like cleaning but I have too, really want fast food, mood. Ya, I swear every single time I restart my "no junk" eating the very first day I have the biggest fast food craving. Oh, you want to eat no junk today...ok, I shall make you crave the worst junk food.... FAST FOOD!!!! *bwah-hahahahaha* Damn body is laughing at me & I don't appreciate it. :) (see told you I'm in a weird mood). My tongue still hurts. :) OK, enough jibber-jabber. Time for more cleaning.
So, the fam WILL be here tomorrow. That means I HAVE to finish everything today. UGH! I keep telling the dogs they need to turn into humans so they can help me. They're not listening or obeying.

Stressed!

I will get to why I'm stressed in just a bit. Maybe writing about other stuff will take my mind off that for a few minutes. AAAAAHHHH!!!(stressed scream)

Today I spent a good hour or two reading my old blogs. Who knew it took that long to read through old blogs. I only got through 6 months & I still have at least 3 to go. I was kinda surprised how tame they were. I remember feeling like I was letting it all out, screw it if that person reads it too & it seemed I was always annoyed by someone. But nope, it was mostly just our normal stuff with a mini rant here or there. I must've deleted all the bad stuff. Hahaha! Or wrote it on a different blog. I really do have a problem starting blogs & forgetting about them or just skipping to a new blog, like a fresh start. So, it was interesting reading through all the old blogs & remembering the times when I wrote them.

Today we ate out twice & surprisingly it wasn't my idea. We had Chili's for lunch, which we haven't had in a LONG time. Mike's was awesome, mine....ey. Mike wanted to be lazy for the rest of the day even though we needed to go shopping. Walmart & Groceries. It was apparent Mike wasn't going anywhere at the time so I figured I'd do walmart myself & we'd do groceries later. We did not. Mike actually got mad at me at dinner when I brought up needing groceries. He said I could've gone myself, I didn't need his help. *scowl* Obviously I don't NEED him to go with me but seeing as we basically ran out of food yesterday & he indicated we'd go together I figured we'd go do it today. So, since we didn't have food for dinner (& apparently he had no plans to go get stuff for dinner) Mike brought up Olive Garden. It opened here a few months ago but we've never braved the crowds. It sounded pretty good so ey, what the heck. We got a cheese fondue with bread, yum, for appetizer, M had soup & I had salad, which OMG was sooooo freaking good! I'm not a big salad person & I was worried I wouldn't like the house dressing but Ohmmmm! I could've eaten the whole huge bowl it was so good. Back to dinner, they were out of shrimp so Mike got a steak something & I had chicken with cheese pasta in creamy sauce. Mike loved his, mine....was ok. We even saved room for desert. Raspberry White Chocolate Cheesecake! OH MY GOODNESS! Mike doesn't even like cheesecakes but he picked it & loved it! Even though I had appetizer, salad, dinner, & desert, I was barely stuffed. I'm proud of myself. Seriously, that salad was soooooo good. Hahaha! I saw someone else serving his people salad & my mouth watered and this was after desert. Anywho! Today was good, I'm sleepy but I know I won't be able to sleep.

Why? Because I will have much too much on my mind. First off, THANK GOODNESS we didn't go grocery shopping today. Why you ask? Because Mike's mom called tonight & asked if it'd be ok if the 3 of them (mom, dad, brother) came out tuesday/wednesday. THIS tuesday/wednesday. Mike made sure to get the ok from me & I gave it because seriously, what am I going to say? NO! No your family can't come out? Then he tells me the day(s). Aaaaaahhh, you mean like in 3 days?! (*sigh*......shit!) I don't mind his family coming out, it's nice having company. But 2 days notice? A) tomorrow is sunday & I know for damn certain if I can't get Mike to go grocery shopping he's not going to CLEAN tomorrow. Shoot, I don't want to clean tomorrow/on the weekend. B) Monday we're heading to Tucson to see the car. We'll be gone til at least 1 pm because we're going to have lunch in Tucson. *straight face*(with a little anger). I do most of my cleaning in my morning, maybe trailing into early afternoon. I know after being up for 9 hrs, driving to Tucson, to lunch, & back from tucson with a full belly I am NOT going to feel like cleaning. Our house really isn't THAT dirty & the two guest rooms will only take an hour or two to get ready. It's the rest of the house. Making the rest of the house SPOTLESS! My family, I want the house clean. His family, it has to be spotless. So, I'm stressing. Really bad! It's really weird that they're coming during the week. Mike works til 5:30-6 every day & he has to work this Saturday too so he literally won't get any time off while they're here. What the heck will we do all day?! Last time I had to entertain his family it was not good. Awkward, Lost, Near Wreck, Horrible Movie! I don't know how many days they'll be here but last year I bombed having to entertain them for ONE day. There is nothing to do here, not during the week while he's working. Maybe I can convince Mike to switch his "tucson trip" to thursday or something so that he'll have some time with his family. We'll all head to Tucson & see the car, eat good food, & maybe a movie?! Maybe he could get the whole day off since SSG doesn't mind him taking half of monday off. Hope Hope Hope!!! Another concern, cooking! Our boring chicken, brown rice & veggies is not good enough for family meals. Maybe I'll do chili, that's easy & it'll be good. My chili rocks ass! Ok, one meal! only need 2 more or so. Will they want to eat out? It'd sure be easier but ugh, this week is suppose to start our super awesome healthy eating. No Junk AT ALL! I can't have no snacks in the house if we have visitors. Ugh! Ok, there's a bazillion things running through my head & I expect very little sleep the next 2-3 nights.

We are getting visitors! YAY!!!! In 3(-4) days.....yikes! Hahaha!

Oh Schiesse, I just remembered I have a doctor's appt on Tuesday! So much for thinking I had at least half of tuesday to clean. Minus 1.5-2 hrs for that crap now. They really did pick the worse 3 days for a 3 day notice. Hahaha!!! I do find all of this somewhat comical. The other part is saying 'shit, shit, shit'. :) Such is life I guess. :)

Aholic

Over the last 24 hours, I have become a blinkie-aholic! As much as one person can be when they run out of good links the first night. Hahaha! I've continued my search today while Mike was sleeping & now while he's gone but I think I've found all the good stuff. I remember in the days of Myspace there were endless blinkie sites & I probably could spend days on photobucket going through their blinkies but alas, I am not that crazy. I'm also addicting to decorating my different blogs. Even the ones I'm hardly on or ones no one else can see. Sites just need to stop making so many cute backgrounds. Then I have my editing program so I can make headers for my blogs. Not completely awesome ones like some people have but worded ones. Such as the "The Cosgrave's" at the top of this blog. I think my hubby needs to get home before I go crazy & redecorate another blog. I've redecorated this one twice in 12 hours. Though, in my defense, the first redo I did I didn't care for the color. The flowers matched my header & the background had the word family on it which I liked. When I looked at it again later I realized I kinda hated it. It was boring & blah. All of this is pretty boring & pointless (talking about it). So anyways, I'm sure I'll change it sometime this week again. Have a great weekend! Tschuess
