Rough Week!

So what would YOU do if a lizard invades your house?Step 1: Stand there and stare at it for at least 13 minutes while you work out your plan of action. Then grab a somewhat large box. Position yourself as shown in the picture below. From this point make sure to scream the whole time while catching him in the box. Step 2: Be sure to have back up sister and mother each standing with a small bowl on the opposite side of the lizard just in case you don't catch it in the box, and you happen to have a family with catlike reflexes that can catch a lizard on the move. It also is helpful if they can assist in the screaming originated in step 1.Step 3: Keep holding the box snug and definitely keep screaming so the little guy doesn't get out while your mom finds something heavy enough to hold the box down. Also make sure she knows that a light weight pan probably won't do the job, so yell for her to get some books while she returns with a box full of books that came out of thin air. (by the way, if you're not having enough fun yet, and you want to hear your mom scream some more, tell her the lizard is by her foot! Because scaring your mom is always fun! Or maybe just mine, I don't know.)


Step 4: Leave the box with books over the lizard that you hopefully caught until a boy is able to come home.
Step 5: When the boy gets home make sure he knows that it is his role to get rid of it from this point on, and that it is the wife's role to overlook from atop the table.



Step 6: When you do finally get this invader out of your house, it may still be stuck in the box somehow, so have the man of the house kick the whole box and watch the lizard fly to freedom after a long day under a box!

P.S. This is all based on true events, I know these steps from experience, so next time this happens to you, you will be ready!




So after the lizard scare, I needed to get my hair done. You won't understand until it happens to you. So a couple days later I got my hair done by my sister's childhood friend Danielle. She happens to do my hair everytime I have a date night too, so it's always fun looking cute for Fidel cause she always makes my hair look pretty outta nowhere. Well after she did my hair I was feelin pretty good, and I always get excited for date nights. So we're just having a grand ol time together...laughin and jokin, huggin and kissin, until...He told me my hair makes me look like a 40 year old soccer mom. From then on, he did all the jokin and laughin (no huggin and kissin, mind you) and in the midst of all of this, he grabbed the camera that I was taking all our cute pictures on, and snapped this picture...





This is NOT a joke. This is also a part of my rough week, and also based on true events. I'm glad I can laugh about this now, because as you can see in the picture, I was NOT having a good time, and was NOT amused by 8 year old Fidel. (And I mean 8 year old, like he was acting like an 8 year old, not 8 year old because I'm bitter that I'm not amused by the fact that our relationship is 8 years old. lol. kinda.) So that about sums up my rough week! Oh, and I got a 30 dollar parking ticket while getting my "40 year old" hair done. Good week.
