No take a bath & other rants April 22, 2011

It’s been a while since I’ve done my ranting-whining thingy on the blog. Sometimes it’s just easier and faster to speak it but then I’m like – I should blog about this. For example:
- My car was in the garage for a month. Which meant I was walking a LOT around Miami Lakes. I’m actually trying to work that into a story…which I must go into.
-Abraham’s family from France is visiting. They have been here since the 8th and they’ve been staying on and off at my house. If you know me – you know how I feel about this and there is NOT enough space on cyberspace to handle my thoughts on private space and not wanting to share. Then there’s the point about them not being my family really and Abraham having a sucky schedule and me having to cater to people. Not good at catering. PLUS their two girls got sick (as in chicken pox and pink eye) and I was TOTALLY freaking out about them being in my house and getting my son sick. Even though as one of them put it “It’s better if he gets chicken pox now that he is younger”. Thank you I shall be the judge of that. But really it all comes down to me – I’m just not good at having people stay at my house. AND that is why I stay at a hotel when I go to France because I am not good at staying at other people’s house either. Except if it is very close family…and still…not the comfiest situation for me. I am WEIRD. Moving on
-Food Trucks. Finally gave in to the Food truck craze here in the MIA. They visited Miami Lakes YEAY!!! and of course we went to try it out. It was a family gathering – as in MY family — the one I’ve created and enjoy too much. My sister, Nanana, Apa and Baby N, plus my cousin who just moved from P.R. The kids were having fun. I had an awesome grilled cheese from CheeseMe and up to the point where roaches started making their apperance – the people watching was fun My sister had Latin Burger and thought it was good.
-NO take a bath – carrier phrase of the month. Not only does it apply to him but also to me. NO Mamon take a bath. No take a bath. NO. No. NO. The word is no! And that is also our favorite youtube video lately. Lovely
-SuperNanny Would not agree BUT! I traded beds with Ariel. He moved into my bed, where he sleeps with Abraham (who sleeps in the middle of the bed and in L shape) and Mafaldo my farting bulldog who has been completely impossible lately and won’t sleep or let me sleep. I moved into Ariel’s bedroom. I have had the most amazing peaceful sleep for 2 nights. Take that Super Nanny.
-I was accepted into Juniper Summer Writing Institute at UMass Amherst. I sent out my application last week. I was very happy about it yesterday. No one seemed to share in my joy LOL! I kid. I called my mom and she was happy about it. Did not tell my sister ’cause she is stressing about wedding planning. Called Abraham to tell him and he couldn’t talk. Told John at work and he was like “What?”. Told my boss during dinner – he congratulated me and then asked “What’s that?”. Posted in on Facebook and got congratulated. So see, people care and are happy for me. So now begins the second phase the should I go? The should I wait for VONA? the will work approve it? the why did they let me in? They probably let anyone who applies in. Ah! The lovely insecurities. Shut up crazy voice. I was accepted ’cause I am amazing and my Mom is not crazy when she says I ROCK!
-Fairchild is free today. So, if you excuse me I must go have a discussion with a three year old about why it is vital that we take baths. The dog is barking. The phone is ringing. The crayons are on the floor. The dining table is becoming a mess again (I had cleaned it up in honor of our visitors). The truck is working. I am still reading Women Food and God. I watched Eat Pray Love and Hello Dolly this week. I am taking Juice Plus and vitamins. I am watching Handy Manny.
Have an amazing week friends. I LOVE YOU all
