Day 17

Sunday

I heard my fone at 330 i tried texting back. haha. I couldnt fall asleep until like 530 in the hopes that you would call me back. Then I didnt feel good the rest of the day, I finally got motivated at 4pm and Kim, Eric, and I cleaned up the rug from the Francos, and when you called again at 7 I was outside with my phone like 25 feet from and I missed it again I am so mad I can't stop crying. I know I am silly but I can't help it. I wish you could call a couple times in a row. :( I am not gonna be able to sleep tonight in hopes that you get to call.

Day 16

Saturday

We had a lazy morning, got up showered, dressed went to target to look for a couple of things, went and got the bassinet for Alex, went to Angela's. Then we went to the fair! Grace and Angela went on a musical rollercoaster, a dragon ride (another rollercoaster) and the tilt a whirl, we played a couple of games and Angela kept winning so she won Grace a big Jaguar! We had cotton candy and garlic shrimp and fettucine. We went back to her house for a little while just talked. Got back home just after ten couldnt sleep so I was a couch potato, didn't go to bed til 115 and you called a 200 and I missed it!!!!

Day 15

Friday

Got up folded all the laundry that I hate doing as you readily know. Got ready for my dr appt and took grace to Kim's...I might have snuck over to babiesrus to get a new stroller, hehe, Don't worry the other one is on craigslist...So i went from 188.4 to 189.1 weight wize, and that was full belly and having to go to the bathroom. I am so proud of myself for keeping my weight under control. The doctor said I am measuring at 38 weeks not 36 and 5 days...you might get ur wish and I have him early!

Got home and took a huge nap and now I am getting prepared to start more laundry, hehe. Wendy and Raffi took us to see Shrek in 3d at Ward at 10pm we all were fighting to stay awake, Grace was so funny she had on green shorts, a green and blue tank top, her red and leopard rain boots, her white easter hat, black sunglasses and a brown and flower purse, and ta da we got ur doll !!!!!! She says she really loves it! She said she thought it was going to be a lamp though haha I don't know where she gets this stuff.

Day 14

Thursday

It's been two weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was sleeping all peaceful this morning and I woke up to Goya crying...I came running out to the kennel, opened the door and looked inside and they were stuck together!!! I cursed at Gizmo and went to the bathroom, when I came back Gizmo was running around and Goya was still in the kennel, her nail was caught in her collar. :( So now I am not sure if Gizmo was really stuck or he was just afraid to come out of the kennel, I didnt have my glasses on so I could have been wrong plus Goya is not in heat, or was so I don't know I wasn't awake. Needless to say, I am putting giz in the neuter now program.

I didn't really do much today...not feeling well, maybe recovering from the last couple of days. Your phone call totally caught me off guard, but makes me happy regardless of why it happened. Between the phone calls and computer we were together for over an hour if not almost two. :) I am still thinking that we might have to take that man up on his offer for a house a goat and a cow because I love you and don't care where we are, as long as we are together. :)

It makes my heart happy to hear all of the good things that you are doing, especially for the children there...We went to Trina's house last night as you know and gave her the message for Justin from you...we were talking about you wanting candy and stuffed animals for the kids, Justin's mom is trying to pawn off her beanie baby collection on Justin so Trina is going to talk to her about sending them all to you!!! She said there is at least a hundred of them! Isn't that cool?

I love you.

Day 13

Wednesday

I might have woken up to get on ebay, they had these markers for drawing and stamps, there are really expensive...25 for 12, but there was 6 pkgs of 12. The auction closed at 530 our time so I got up and I won my Auction!!!!!!!!! They cost me a whopping 23.56! So not even the price of one pkg! The silly things that help me get thru. Then we went to school for her last day...all we did was clean! The kids got to clean their desks with shaving cream, they were so cute. I don't know how many desks, chairs, cupboards, and bins I cleaned! I told Mrs. Erickson not to take any pictures so there was no proof for you, hehe. They did a little awards ceremony...Grace got the Hardworker award! I took a picture it should be in your email. :) She is officially a 1st grader. Her report card is good too, She got only had the dp score on two things which we will work on and she got 4's on most of the GLO's so I am soo proud of her. :) So after school we went to the commissary to get stuff for her spaghetti dinner, I got us airline miles!!!! (I used the credit card for the first time) We came home, Grace helped me bring stuff in and I ran around like a mad woman and cleaned up the bath, hall, kitchen, living and dining room. Then I started spaghetti and green beans, and people started pouring in...Angela, Shamone, Rachel, Wendy and Rafii, Kim, Eric and Joey. Trina and the girls couldn't come last minute but its okay because friday evening we are gonna go over to their house for dinner. :) We had dinner and dessert Kim brought over cheesecake, and then Grace opened her gifts from angela, wendy and shamone she got Littlest Pet Shop, clothes and a couple of puzzles. Grace passed out at like 9, and I started American Idol and passed out too.

Day 12

Tuesday

Got up took Grace to school, came home, went to Starbucks and the commissary with Rachel. Got Grace from school, Mrs Erickson and the kids made me a card, and got me a gift certificate for Big City Diner for 25 dollars. That was fun, Grace and I cleaned her room today, ordered pizza, and it only took us til 2130 to get it done...ARGH!!!!!!!
Have I mentioned that I hate walking the dogs? Yesterday it was Goya, today its Gizmo, I walk him our usual route and he won't poop!!! He pisses me off so much!!! So now he is back in the kennel because I will kill and stuff him if he poops in my house!!
On a bad note, Grace shocked herself today. She is ok, but we both we scared, I asked her to get me the shop vac for in her room and she came back big eyed I asked her what was wrong and she just started crying. I looked her over and she calmed down and was fine after that. So no harm done I guess. Talked to my Dad, get this HE CALLED ME!!! He needed your number for hunting tags. :) He is going to Jim's house this weekend. :) I told him to get the mail cuz you sent him postcards he sounded really excited.
We FINALLY got the germany postcard today, Grace just wants the rock outta the container haha. And we got the actual credit cards today :)
WOOT! Tomorrow Grace has her last day!! I gotta get the camera outta the mazda. So you dont miss it!! :)
And the Johnsons, Penas, Longos, Shamone, Angela and Rachel are coming over from dinner tomorrow, busy day...But you get on fb and I will stop everything because I love you. Always.

Day 11

Monday

Got up, and as we were walking out the door, you texted saying you were on the computer. That made Grace's day...She is definitely feeling you being gone, she had tears talking to you today, but we handled it. :) We went to school, I helped out for a little while, told Mrs Erickson you said hello, that made her day. She told me about her new teacher she said that she was very good too. So that is a relief. I am working on getting the dining room put back together then the kid's room, I don't know how Grace manages to make such a huge mess so quickly. But I am pretty sure she gets that from me. :(

So the 2nd half of the day, went like this: I cleaned. I organized, I shaved Gizmo and Goya, I gave us all showers and I took Grace to the golden arches...and I talked with Rachel, Shamone and Trina. Rachel is having a real hard time. :( And Trina and the girls are coming now to the graduation party too. Grace is sooooooo excited. I am gonna walk the dogs and then I am gonna hit the rack because I still am not sleeping well and I need my beauty/cooking your baby rest. :) Did I mention 3 weeks and 6 days until he is due? I love you.

Day 10

Sunday

We got up Grace wanted Lunchables for breakfast, I had waffles. Grace watched cartoons in our room while I watched CSI NY and Fringe. She walked the dogs for me and then played at the park for a little bit. Did I mention my headache that I have had all day? Boo!!! I moved the rug we got at costco to the dining area so when the carpet that the francos gave gets here its less moving stuff. Don't worry I slid everything, no heavy lifting, plus wendalin helped me put some back. Talked to Tia too, I said Buenas noches at the end of our convo and she was impressed, haha. I think I should know more after being married to you for 6 years. So the same crap happened to Rachel and Geno's laptops after they loaded skype, but now all of our computers are okay. He half way apologized for making me feel dumb about the computer in Geno talk so that made me feel better. What else? The dogs are taking missing you out on me, they both have been using the house as a bathroom, even though Grace and I walk them several times a day. Grace has been doing good with helping me walk them even using the pooper scooper. :) Thats about all I have for the day. I love you.

Day 9

Saturday

We didn't roll out of bed til 1030 this morning. I have been having trouble sleeping, so hence the late wake up. I started going thru the crap closet, mostly because I couldn't find my coupon for Babiesrus, haha. We put Alex's swing together, Grace had to test it out with her/my cabbage patch doll. It's pretty cool, we can put the car seat in it even and it has a slot for the ipod so we can teach him about good music hehe.
We went to go get gas, but I forgot my card so we had to drive back home that was fun. Finally got gas, then drove to Shamone and Mike's house it is out past Koolau, but its pretty cool. It backs up to the woods and she said there is a creek back there too. We all know what you wanna do now when you get back. LOL. We went to Babiesrus I got the monitor, a diaper bag its ocean themed like all of his bedding, and a couple of bath things. :) Angela met us there and invited us back to her house for dinner, it was funny watching Shamone react to Kona. She isn't exactly a big dog person. We hung out there until about 2200, then i took Shamone back to her place and didn't get home myself til about 2300. Walked the dogs, spanked Goya, she pooped in the house. ARGH!!!! Then watched Grey's Anatomy Finale, it was so tense I had probably 4-5 contractions. I scared the dogs because I screamed a couple of times, hehe oops. I had milk and an orange, I don't like peeling them myself. :(

Day 8

Friday

So I am not happy to report that at 2 again this morning I was woken up but this time I didn't get back to sleep until almost 5am. But my happiness began again, when I received several phone calls from Emanda who kindly told me to get on the computer because you were there. :) :) I cried only because I was happy. We were late to school but it was well worth getting to talk to you. I went to the Volunteer Luncheon even though it was really breakfast...I got a certificate and I won a drawing for putt putt and bumper cars...I am so gonna use it if I am still pregnant when my mom gets here hahaha maybe that will help...Grace brought me a lei during the luncheon and she was almost in tears because she slipped coming into the cafeteria and the lei broke...but I fixed it.
So afterward, I went to the classroom to grade the last of the homework for the year and then I helped the kids with their writing. I came home finished up Reese's journal for his trip and then I got Joey and we went and had lunch at the food court...I might have had a tear or two saying goodbye to Emanda, but I contained myself in front of all the Marines, LOL. So now we are at home and I will report on the second half of the day when it is over. :)
Joey and I hung out until Grace and Ry got outta school.. they were here til about 4, it was good to have a full house. afterward, we went to the store, I made Chipotle Chicken, green beans, croquetas, french bread and salad for dinner. Good times with Shamone and Angela. Grace was an absolute lunatic, she cut up an entire apple, into dime sized pieces and wanted to put salt and then pepper on them, I convinced her to use caramel sauce, she took about two bites but it was worth just having her in the kitchen with me. :) We were all doing good, but then the girls started talking about the things that they left lying around that was the guys and I started thinking about your boots on the front porch...I might have started a mini cry session for everyone, oops!! I am blaming it on the hormones!!! But other than that it was an awesome night, we watched a little Glee and had good girl talk. I sure like them. But I like you waaaaaaaaaaay more hehehehehe. I love you.

Day 7

Day 7-ITS BEEN A WEEK!!!!!!!!!!

We made it on time today!!!!! I helped yet again, and I made the kids The Best Thing About Kindergarten Was...Books. Fun times...I talked to my mom and sister today...did i mention my mom is coming the 25th thru the 3rd of July? I helped the Francos a lot again today but I still managed several loads of clothes, dishes, moving the changing table to the kids room and several little things...At like 4 today I was sitting on the couch and I looked up at the clock and said to myself, "H mm, Ricky should be home soon." Then I snapped back into reality, Boo to reality ha ha. I hope you don't kill me but I did end up getting the rug from the Franco's but the cool thing is it's at Kim's house and we are gonna steam mine and hers together and then Eric and some of his buddies are going to move everything out of the living room and put the rug down for me. Isn't that nice? I am STILL wiping stuff down from the bug bomb argh. But it is making me get stuff done too. Grace did her last homework sheets of the year and she wrote a letter in Reese's Journal that we got him for his trip, It says...
To Reese from grace
I am sad you are moving, but happy we are friends. I hope you have a fun and safe trip across America!
I am gonna have lunch with them tomorrow I will pass along a punch in the gut for you. :)

I miss you soooooo much. Have I mentioned that all this week at exactly 602 am your son wakes me up? He rolls over and over for like 10 minutes. And the last two nights at 2am as well...I will let you know what tonight is like tomorrow hehe.

Well I am off to walk the dogs and go to bed because I can't be late tomorrow I have the volunteer luncheon, woohoo, don't wanna miss out on my volunteer award...:) I get joey for a few hours too. hehe.
Hasta la manana. Te amo.

Day 6

Day 6

We were even more late today. :( :( Mrs. Erickson wrangled me into doing the homework folders and reading books again. I was trying to sneak away because Emanda had a girl date to get our nails done. :) But it all worked out okay because they didn't open until 10. I have dark purple toes with silver crystals...we went to payless shoes and I got grace a new pair of champion sneakers for 6 dollars hehe, we had to throw a pair away because her feet smelled so bad at Kim's house the day before that I had to go wash her feet in the sink...We might have snuck over to Children's Place too. :) It was pretty cool the had an awesome sale I got probably 250 dollars worth of clothing for 45. It was so cheap because this lady felt bad for cutting the pregnant lady off in line that she gave me her 15% off total purchase coupon! Woohoo, you know that always makes me happy, hehe. We got lunch and made it back in time to get the kids from school, Wednesday early release. They played for a while and then we came home and Grace and I just hung out... I cleaned the floor in the kitchen, and I washed the comforter. Kim and Eric brought over Joey's changing table it is so much more sturdy then ours so I am gonna sell ours. :) After that, we went back to the Franco's and the kids played while I helped Emanda and Raul with the last minute stuff for move out day. Moving is stressful, but I took notes so it is easier for us :) When we got back home, Kim brought me a slice of cheesecake. She has really been keeping an eye on me since you left. :) It makes me feel better and I am more distracted so I am not so sad all the time. Then Grace and I went to bed about 2130-2200.

Day 5

Day 5

Kim came over and dropped off the keys to the Honda...I forgot to mention that Eric borrowed the car last night to get Jo a toddler bed. Made plans to take Jo to go to Starbucks. Was late taking Grace to school, :(. I went and got Jo and we walked over to Starbucks, I had two contractions during the trip that was fun...got Jo, Kim and I drinks and went back to the house and helped keep jo entertained for a while...the movers packed them out in 4 and a half hours, thats crazy...hopefully they can move us that quickly too.
I went home and set off the bomb in the garage. Got the upstairs ready for bombing and right before Grace got out of school I set off the upstairs bombs...hung out at Kim's until I could open the windows for the bombs, and came back to do cleaning, snarl, growl. Still working on all of that, but I braided all of Grace's hair after her bath, we had waffles for dinner, now its time to get the bed situated so Grace can sleep and I can get some much needed stuff done around the house....lots to wipe down with all the bomb residue. The Longo's are gonna take me to Haleiwa Joe's to say thank you for all our help...:) I won't eat the cheesecake unless I get ur permission. hehe.

Grace only has 6 days of school left! And then we have a 1st Grader!!!!!!!

Day 4

Day 4

We got up and got ready for school, I stayed and did the homework folders and the scrapbooks, Shamone had me go with her to Wally world so I got more stuff for our son, diapers, health kit, fish clothes and the coolest bibs ever!! I also got Grace a Zhu zhu pet car for Grace's graduation! I walked the dogs too, forgot that part...Eric is bringing the rocker over later and the Francos just gave us their rug... i know i know you are objecting...i am getting the upstairs ready for tick bombing and tomorrow i will hang out in the garage when I set it off get that straightened up to make life easier...I love you.

Day 1, 2 and 3

Day One
So after Ricky left, Grace and I went to McDonalds got some breakfast, ate and went home and slept...
We went to Babies R Us that afternoon and got the baby a swing and bathtub, then went to Walmart to get posters for the yard sale and a special project for your Birthday and a journal for Reese's trip across america.
Then we went to the Francos for some enchiladas, and put signs up for the yard sale


Day Two
I got up at 630 made some much needed coffee and cleaned the kitchen a little, then went and got the yard sale stuff out. People were vultures at 730, it was kinda annoying because I didn't have everything out yet. But it started off fast, the biggest sale of the day was a whole 7.25! HAHA... but I had fun and it was worth getting rid of that junk....Shamone came over and kept me company...I like her. She makes me laugh and that helps! :) After we went to Kmart and Target, so she could get stuff for the house and we might have got stuff to organize Grace and Alex's room and the garage. :) We finally got some rest that night we went to bed at 2230 and didn't wake up until...

Day Three
900. But I did hear your text at 430 a hour and a half after you sent it...haha oops! So so far today we have walked the dogs, eaten breakfast, started laundry and been on facebook talking to you, now off to get this house put back together! I love you!!!

So to finish off day three we cleaned up the living room and I watched some of my shows that I postponed watching until you were gone. :( Rafffi and Wendy came by after we skyped with you and they brought me 4 boxes of croquetas and a bag of fried rice...Wendalin is thinking about going home for good because her parents are separating :( That sucks. But yeah, I love you and I am going to bed because it is ten and i am soooo tired.
