Home Sweet Home

The trek home wasn't as bad as I thought it would be... 12.5 hours is all it took... of course, this is after all the teeth work I got done in the morning (which cost me more then I thought it would)... I decided not to stop in New Orleans because I really wanted to get home... I had bought 4 red bulls, and casually sipped them throughout the trip... well, the caffeine buzz didn't hit until I got home... (11:00 PM EST) when I started to clean the fridge and oven, as well as strip all the kitchen cabinets clean of the crap I don't use (there were 4 coffee makers in the cabinets, and I don't even drink coffee...) I finally decided to force myself to sleep at 5:30 AM... But then at 8:30 AM (The oven self cleaning cycle hadn't even finished yet) I was up and at it again... Once the oven was done, I headed off to Walmart and bought $250 worth of stuff the house needed... ant bait, shower curtain, a rug, a mirror for above the fireplace, new shiny things that go under the stove burners, and a ton of cleaning supplies... (cheap paper towels, Windex, Swiffer Sweeper stuff, Febreze, Pledge, sponges, etc.)

Tatiana is in Dallas Texas and I forgot she wasn't going to be here yet... so I don't get to see her until tomorrow evening when her flight arrives... and April, Jesse, and Ashlyn were out of town until this afternoon, but once they got back they had to go to a dinner party for April's work... so I could have watched Ashlyn at this point, but the house was a mess with all the crap I was taking out of the kitchen, and definitely not baby proof...

The UPS guy came today, but he didn't ring the doorbell, I thought I heard somebody knocking, but couldn't tell if it was the neighbor's, or if it was my imagination gone astray due to the massive amounts of cleaning fumes I had been exposed to... But since the doorbell didn't ring, I figured it wasn't the door... but it was, and now I have to wait until the delivery guy gets back from his route so I can pick it up at the shipping center... which is down the street, but I have been there twice already today hoping he would be back, but then I decided I will go 10 minutes before they close... and just wait until he comes back... maybe then I will get it... I have never had so many problems with FedEX... but maybe that is just me...

The couches I got are awesome... I love them... and I was so excited to see them in my house... I got them from Adriana (Francisca's mom)... I am also happy because she got a job when she was having trouble getting one in the past because her English isn't 100% (I understand her perfectly, but supposedly there are some things she can't express clear enough...) oh well... I have to head over to the UPS center, it is about to close... Hopefully I'll get it, otherwise I will be pissed!
