THE SIMPSONS NEWS

I’ve had an erratic work week.  Staying late because I had to make up hours.  Trying to get my section done but not being able to because  over 50% of it needed to be revised by the board artist before I could work on it.  It was very frustrating.  I still need to finish it all.  Time is running out.

FAMILY

So Dante decided it would be fun to destroy his mom’s Macbook Pro.  He got a bottle of water Alesha had left by the sofa, poured it over on the sofa and on Alesha’s Macbook Pro which was near by and pretty much destroyed it.  It no longer works. It was terrible.  We couldn’t believe he did that.  Alesha and I were VERY upset.  Not exactly something we needed have happen.

We made an appointment for the next day at the local Mac store so they could check it out and see if there was anyway to salvage it.  That became it’s own fiasco.  I came home from work that  day and at the last minute, I thought it might be a good idea to make it a family trip.  It took us ten minutes to get to the place once we were ready and we were twenty minutes early for the appointment.  Unfortunately, as we were all getting out of the car, Alesha realized she had forgotten the Macbook.  Freaking out, she got back in the car and went back home.  Meanwhile I was with the kids at the mall not knowing what to do and feeling like it was all my fault because it was my idea to take the kids, which is one of the reasons Alesha forgot the computer.  When it was near time for the her appointment I showed up to the store and was going to explain the situation to the Mac people when they called Alesha in.  As I was waiting, I called Alesha a few times to keep tabs as to were she was and how close she was to  getting back.    It was very tense.  The kids and I stood at the Mac store for a good twenty minutes waiting. I was hoping that they would call Alesha up late.  Munchkin seemed like the only thing she was concerned about was making as much noise as possible as she ran around in a circles.  Dante wanted desperately to get out of the stroller he was in so he could mess around with all the fun stuff he saw. It was all I could do to keep him quite. Meanwhile there was a screen  that kept showing who was up next and the person that was ahead of my wife was called up.  Alesha was not there yet and I was getting a bit panicked.  The last thing we needed was yet another thing to make Alesha miserable.  She was feeling bad enough about having lost her computer and worse, some things in the computer she hadn’t had time to back up.

I called Alesha one last time, only to find out that she had parked and was on her way over.  I was relieved. She showed up before they had called her up and I left her there to continue to wait while I took the kids to the food court and bought them Pizza.

Alesha discovered that to fix her almost three year old Macbook Pro,  it would cost $1300.00 so instead, she bought a $900.00 Macbook and called it good.  It’s a down grade from the Pro but she’s actually fine with that.  Too bad we had to spend that money, we really wish we didn’t have to.

Dante is no longer allowed to even LOOK in the direction of a computer anymore.  I won’t allow it.

FAMILY

My Mommy had a birthday last Friday.  Like a good son I gave her a call on her birthday…at 7:30 PM. Yeah, I didn’t remember until I got home and was already winding down for the day.  It’s embarrassing. I was so disappointed in myself.

Well, anyway, on Saturday Alesha, Munchkin, Dante, Juan (my brother), Deborah (his wife), Paolo (my nephew) and I went over to pass the time with her.  We had a good time just being there.  Munchkin and Dante played the whole time.  My mom was happy.  We had an amazing dinner and generally had a fun time.

Happy Birthday Mom!

MY WEEK

The lady that takes care of our kids couldn’t take care of our kids this week.  She was in the hospital trying to find out what some swelling on her feet was all about.  He checked in on Friday and by Monday night, had not even seen a doctor about it yet.  It sounded terrible.

In any case,  we need to find different way to take care of the kids.  Tuesday I stayed with the kids but had to make up the hours later in the week.  Wednesday, Munchkin’s Godmother, Carolina, did us the favor of taking the kids for the day.  Today, Alesha took the kids with her to work and is having a half day.  Friday will be be the same.

Please pray for Linda who takes care of our kids. Here’s hoping everything turns out okay.
