Cory calling me at 4 in teh morning telling me he is down the street. (I ask him to call because i get scared if i don't hear him pull into the garage and I think someone is breaking in. LOL). He calls my cell and tells me if I have to go pee, do it now. I said ok, thinking he had to go to the bathroom really bad. As I get up, he calls the house phone and tells me to stay in the room and not come out, he has a surprise for me. okkkk? Im thinking its food and I'm not really hungry but I figured I would eat some of it to make him happy. lol. Wellll, he doesn't have food, he has a giant bouquet of flowers with sunflowers, pink carnations (my fav), pink roses, and so on in a nice vase and a gift bag in his hand. A NICE giftbag with really pretty tissue paper in it. lol. He says, "Happy Mother Day". He knew I wouldn't have wanted him to go get me anything for mother's day and I would know if he bought it on his way home and hid it because I check the bank and do the bills every few days. LOL.

I open it up to find a really sweet card that fit perfectly. Then I pulled out a P.j tank top and matching shorts in tinkerbell. He tells me he got it a little looser fitting since I'm pregnant so that I can wear it then and not have to worry about stretching it out so much. That he knows how I hate wearing my regular clothes when I'm pregnant, ESPECIALLY in the summer. How sweet! Then, I pull out another tank top p.j dress that is tinkerbell too and he said he couldn't choose, that he wanted me to have both and he thought that they both woudl be very easy to nurse in when I had the baby!! (At this point, my jaw is on the ground LOL). I also pulled out another pair of comfy shorts to lounge in and a video game with 4 pacmans and mappy and a few other games on it that you plug up to the T.V. He knows that i used to play that when i lived with my parents and loved it. :)

He then goes on to tell me he bought me a strawberry cake mix with LIGHT cream cheese (he knows I don't like chocolate cake too much and sweet frosting isn't something I care for either so he figured light would be less sweet :) He also bought me a bag of hot cheetos, a 2 Liter of Dr. Pepper since he knows I don't buy soda that we won't both drink, and he got me a thing of butter pecan ice cream. Cory said he remembered that i liked that because he knew it was some ice cream he hated. LMAO!! I also have a choice to go out to dinner or have him cook for me if we don't go to disneyland this Sunday! How freakin sweet can you get?!

He told me he tried getting me maternity clothes but when he asked the lady working at Walmart (the ONLY place open at that hour when he could go shopping. lol) she said that MATERNITY CLOTHES WERE OUT OF SEASON THERE!!! What? He said he told her, "Um, women get pregnant all year round you know". LOL. I couldn't help but laugh. Ill post pics of my beautiful flowers later, I honestly thought he wouldn't have done something that sweet for mothers day, if anything at all! 

STACEY:

We are hoping that today he finds out if he goes in on Sunday or not.....the guy he works with ahs to call the project manager  and find out....he might have to go in tomorrow but if he does, he DEFINATELY doesn't work on Sunday. Cory says (knock on wood) he doesn't think he goes in anyway, he thinks that Eric might have his deposition for the company law suit on Monday and they don't want him working that night then) Ill let you know today what he finds out. Cory really wants to go. lol

I wonder how i ended up with such a great man. I mean, we have our ups and downs all the time but who doesn't? he and I are finally ready for another baby, too! We sat down and talked about everything ... he makes enough money, we are hopefully moving into our own house soon, we are almost done with his car payments to get me something to lug 3 kids around in, and we both are finally ok with everything all around.. .. .. hopefully soon we will get some good news ::keeping fingers crossed::.

OMG, they are tooo cute. Jake saw cory with the weedeater and went and grabbed his play one and went out on the porch pretending to cut the grass that was by the bottom step. i love him to death



Jake saw cory flip it upside down to get the stuff out and did the same.. LOL

Through all the stuff we go through all.the.time, he was sweet enough to see my favorite flower and just bought them for me....for no reason!! it was such a total surprise but I am so glad he did it!! he called me at 1 am and told me that he had something for me and when he got home, he left it by the T.V and when I woke up, i was totally surprised. It also had a little card with it that said:

"Just a little something to show I thought of you. Need no occasion. Love you baby, Cory". :)


My favorite flowers, pink carnations with babysbreath!!  

he puts up with me when im bitchy, trys to do stuff to make me happy, and is just as obsessed about his house hunting thing as me. LOL. We both want hte *same* thing out of a house and its nice to both agree about the pros and cons together.  Today we are going out to dinner, not sure if that is wise since the loan officer told us to hold onto our money but we are going to do it anyway. LOL. (After all, it is only $10-12 to go where we want tonight...hometown buffet :) ) .Just thought I had to say that this is the happiest I have been in a LONG time.......all thanks to him..i look at him and realize i am more in love with him now than ever....(KNOCK ON WOOD  LMFAO,.. JK)

nOW HE JUST CALLS ME BACK TO TELL ME HE IS ON-FUCKING-CALL FOR CHRISTMAS DAY!!! WHAT IN THE HELL DO THEY WANT HIM TO DO, DRIVE FUCKING 2.5 HOURS FROM RIVERSIDE TO SAN DIEGO TO HELP WITH EMERGENCY FLOOD CONTROL?!?!?!?!?  THAT IS BULL SHIT, FUCKING BULL SHIT.  I SURE AS HELL HOPE THAT WE DON'T GET THE CALLA ND IF WE DO, THAT WE JUST IGNORE IT OR DON'T "HAVE SIGNAL". UGH!

What kind of fucking construction company makes his employees work on Christmas eve. (probably a lot im sure, but I can still be pissed)  You know what kind, the kind that is only out for a big bonus that no one else sees apart of if they get the site finished in 2 years instead of 4.  The kind where the foreman makes the call for them to work but then sits at home on his ass with his family on Christmas Eve while everyone else does the work he gets credit for. Im just pissed because we were supposed to celebrate Christmas Eve here, as a family in the morning and have a delicious family dinner that we might not have until LATE that night depending on when they let him off of work. . . I know I said it would be fine but I guess I was just happy to do it tomorrow morning, be able to sleep in, and wake up as a freakin family. FUCKING SCROOGES!!!

Finally I am done baking, cooking, and cleaning.......for the night. lol. I am off to bed, only to get up in an hour to get cory off to work. . . I know im complaining and HE is the one doing all the work and getting almost no sleep.... LOL.I love my man!!

i dont know why I am so tired but I really don't feel like staying up and baking cupcakes for cory to take to work tonight, or to make the churizo burritos that he asked me for, but I will. LOL. i love him and want him to get what he wants and the guy he works with had a special request and asked me to make dinner for them tonight. :)  I just don't have any chocolate chips for the eyes of the cupcakes or red sprinkles for the hat...when I called cory, he didn' thear his phone ring while he was at the store. Maybe some holiday music will pick me up and Ill get mysecond wind. LOL

Well, today I got something for Cory that I am so afraid to even write for fear of him finding out BEFORE Christmas. lol...I got him a Nintendo Wii!!! It came with 3 games but not all the stuff I was hoping for so we have to get Cory's spare controller from Kevin that he is borrowing and I wnt to get him a wireless sensor bar, too :) Im so excited. Now I just want to go get him a jacket and a gift card at gamecrazy or harbor freight for his stocking stuffer. Im sooooo excited for Christmas!!

Ok, so I tell my hubby to tell me what he wants for Christmas and he gives me a huge list.......99% of which is super expensive $100 items that we can't afford but he knows I will do anything to get him whatever he wants so I think that that is why he tells me. LOL. I go through, get him some small itmes off of e-bay that he put in the watch list and then finigle everything to find that I can get him his precious HID kit for his car that he has been moaning and groaaning he wants for MONTHS and MONTHS now. AWESOME!! I feel so wonderful. Day before yesterday, I buy it so that it iwll be here in time (knock on wood) for Christmas Eve. Yesterday, Cory comes home talking all about this and that of wanting the kit but he CHANGED HIS MIND on which on ehe wants!!!!! AFter telling me up and down he was super sure he wanted that one (he was always talking about the pros and cons even before now so it wasn't strategic or anything).I just spent all the spare cash on that stupid thing and now he says he doesn't want it anymore. He always does this to me EVERY year. He either 1. finds his present; or 2. Decides he doesn't want it after I buy it. He still doesn't know I bought it and now I am crushed and feel like no matter what i do, he is never goingt o be happy with what he gets.

This is the man that buys flashlights ALL.THE.DAMN.TIME. i mean $20-$30 flashlights and then raves about the newest one..........until about 2 weeks later, then it isn't good enough anymore and isn't bright enough, or not ths or that. I wish he wasn't the type of person that ALWAYS changed his mind so that I could concentrate on a gift, buy it, and not have to worry about him not liking that kind or whatever anymore. Thsi is EXACTLY why I don't do Christmas shopping for KIDS too early in the year, I didn't know that I had to do this with my HUSBAND, TOO. lol.AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I know he will smile and like it but a few months down the road, he will say, "I want to get the 'better' one". IM SO FREAKIN MAD AT MYSELF, I SHOUDL HAVE WAITED!! lol

I am soooooo freakin excited, cory got his invite to the christmas party for December 6 at a BEAUTIFUL hotel in San Deigo so the first thing I did was get on the phone and book our reservations. We are going to have Cory's Mom and Dad come up here to watch the kids overnight and for some of the next day so that we can stay down there after the party!! There is goign to be cocktails, dinner, dancing, appetizers, the works!  Most of his co-workers get hotel rooms there too so we will be going to eachother's rooms after the party is over to continue the party. LOL. This is going to be like the honeymoon we never had!! This could be what it takes to make us realize why we fell in love with eachother. stupid as that sounds....Now, for the hard part, finding a dress, shawl, clutch, jewlery, and shoes!! YES, an exscuse to go shopping!!!! :P

The other day, Jake had saw that Cory was cleaning out the lizzard cage and felt the need to go help. Well, he was watching for a while and then Cory noticed that there were little tiny beetles coming from the lawn where he got it wet with the hose up on the porch. He figured they would be perfect to put into the lizard tank to feed her. Jake, seeing him do this, started to help him and would squish the bettles in his fingers and help put them in her cage on the porch. :) he was TOO CUTE helping out and feeling so acomplished. . . here are a few pics:





He was so proud of himself!! (He loves to watch Spike [bearded dragon] eat any bugs and it tickled him to know he fed her) Half  the beetles were dead before they got in the tank but he didn't know any better. lol

Yesterday was a nice day! I got home and we ended up getting the kids ready, went out to Wendy's for lunch, and then came home. The neighbor invited us over to her parent's house (across the street) to take the kids swimming in the kiddie pool out front. i got the little munchkins dressed in their cute little "baiting soups" all sunscreened down and we headed over there. Angie (our neighbor next door) her parent's dog had puppies so they were all out front. (I tried all day to convince cory to let me get one. LOL.....he is a softie sometimes but I couldn't crack him) We sat under the canopy and just relaxed for a few hours while Jake played with the other two kids there. . . by the end of the two hours, he was shivering and everytime I asked if he wanted out, he said, "Nooooo" shaking from being cold! LOL. After all that, we came home and i ran to the store to get some fruits and veggies while Cory got the Salmon ready to put  on the BBQ. We had lemon, garlic, mesquite salmon with roasted red bell peppers and red onions. YUMMY!!!!! I munched on the veggies more than anything! :) All in all, it was a nice day....perfect bbq weather!

Here are a few pics:


Look at little Ms. tubbo!

The puppy was licking the water off of her bathing suit

He was so cold! lol

Him punkin' Cece for Cheeto Puffs... :P

Cory and his fav puppy...

I want one!! How can you say no to this little face?!

Mecah getting the puppy's tail....

Well, today we all went to Target, Walmart, and then Jack in the Box for dinner. All in all, it was great. . .  Cory is taking Jake to see Wall-E the movie on Saturday since they had no showings today at the $3 theater. That will give me some much needed Mecah and mommy time :) i love my little princess, she is getting so big and is learning new things all the time. She gives us kisses, claps when she does something cute, is standing and crawling everywhere!! I also washed my car and the truck, cory is filling up my tires since I noticed they were low a week and a half ago. haha.

tomorrow I am going back to magic mountain so I get up at 6:15, get ready, head to Menifee by 7 am and we are on the road to Valencia by 7:30. We stop for some food just outside the park like always, and then we are going to attempt to wait in line for X2 which we have happened to miss the past times we went because we didn't feel like waiting in 3 hour lines.LOL.  I am SOOOOOOO sad that I am going to miss the concert that was added just last night for Katy Perry (the girl that sings that song, " I Kissed a Girl"...which, I don't care what anyone says, I LOVE that song!) Oh well, maybe anther time :)

Cory and i talked to our neighbor and if we have the money, we are going to go down to Palm Springs to go to Knotts Soak City next Saturday with her and her kids. AFter that,we are going to hit Sonic since the nearest one is aobut 1 hr 20 minutes away. LOL. we have been dying to go there after seeing allt he commercials. I haven't been in 6 years!! Well, thats about all...cory is kicking me off the computer. LOL.

Tonight I get some much needed alone time. . . I mean, I did spend most of today alone since cory was sleeping because he got home so late but I still need time to blare my music, relax, and maybe paint my toes. LOL. AF paid me a visit today and i am soooooo freakin tired. i am glad it came today rather than Friday when I am supposed to go to Magic Mountain!  haha. My living room is totally destroyed. After the kids get put to bed, I spend about 30 minutes cleaning up and dusting / vacuuming and then it looks SPOTLESS until around 10 am the next morning when two tornados known as Jake and Mecah get to it. :P 

Angel invited me over to her house yesterday for today but i rather just let them call me...they were drunk when they called me up and I rather not show up there and them have forgotten all about it. LOL. I am so glad the week is already almost half over! Time for Magic Mountain again!! HAHA. I just wish I could take the kids and Cory to the water park for Saturday.......cory really wanted to go out and do something so I wanted to include him on some fun of my own. (Thanks af!!) Anywho, the kids are already asleep since they skipped their naps and I am going to go play hillbilly and take my sunflower seeds and go relax on the porch. Wish we had a porch swing!

Cory is finally almost home. I have had a great day with the kids so far (though jake made it apparent that he was very frustrated with me by glaring at me like I just ran his little puppy over all.day.long) lol. i got the kids dressed in their cute clothes, did their hair, and they are looking all schnazzy for a night out on the town. (well, an early night of going to Ross and Walmart followed by a wonderful dinner I don't have to cook at a fast food place) Believe it or not, these are the times I cherish. . . being able to spend a day out with my family, no tv, no computer, no nothing. Its actually pretty great. I realize that I gave up so much to upgrade to even better. I was brought into a great family (well, threatened...lmao, jk) and even though I miss *my* family, i can't complain about the ones I have now. I still think about how my mom used to wake me up on my birthday with pancakes and a candle in the middle singing happy birthday while I ate breakfast in bed. Or how I would get to pick my b-day dinner and i always wanted liver and onions....no joke. That is by far my favorite thing to eat. Every year, my grandparents, aunt, cousin, great aunt, and great uncle would come down to our house and we would have a bbq of tri-tip and all the fixin's followed by birthday cake and presents. The last year i spent with them was my 18th birthday... I still remember that my cousin (7 at the time) made me this cute red necklace and put it in a jewlery box for me. When I opened it, I cried because it was something that he did for me. Our family is very small (at least that of which is in America) . I actually share my birthday with Kai. . . he lives back in Germany with his probably now wife Mika. Alittle off topic but I just remembered it so I had to share. lol. 

You know, every year that I am gone from home, it gets easier to reflect on memories without wanting to break down and cry. This was the first year where I didnt'! lol. While i miss my mom and dad a lot, i wouldn't change my decision to  be with Cory and have two amazing, wonderful children. Thats it for now....i will post pics later of Mecah and Jake and everything else from dinner!

On, off, on, off, ... they will work cory for a little here and there and while I am extremely grateful for the times when he is working, i wish I could count on the money, constant work, etc. I can't stand not knowing if he goes in tomorrow or how much money we have for food, diapers, wipes, stuff like t hat. I am HOPING that they will keep him working without a gap in jobs beccause we can't afford it. I still can't believe our entire stimulus payment is gone. GONE! The entire total went to bills and food since we had almost nothing in the house. Keep your fingers crossed he will work all this week and HOPEFULLY next, too! I am just shooting for that much for bills and rent. If not, at least this week will be a big help. UGH...this bites.

Today Jake actually woke up and didn't have any problems with being sick in his crib! (Yeaaaah!) BUT, as soon as I walk into Mecah's room, I find that she threw up all over and about ten minutes after, had the runs. (Sorry to be so blunt) I really am getting worried and can't stand seeing my babies sick! Also, Cory was sick AGAIN last night, too. :( When will it ever end?! Not to mention that today I feel like I am coming down with something because I have a sore throat and a cough. . . . . . . . so much for going down to Riverside this weekend! (Unless we all shape up. lol)
