The Keeper of 'Em All...
Suddenly I feel like the Keeper of Them All...
Last night, Mom and Dad left for Hawaii. Jake and I drove them to SJC and as I dropped them off the airport, I felt like a mom dropping off her children. On the way to the airport, I told Dad to be careful driving from Kahului Airport to Kaanapali because of the 2-lane freeways and the cliffs, etc... I had to stop and think "I'm giving directions to my dad?" How odd was that? Then I kept asking Mom "did you buy sunscreen like I told you to?... isn't your bag too heavy... you sure you brought comfy shoes?"...aahh!! Then when I dropped them off the curb (since anal security won't let you in anymore) - I kissed them goodbye, wished them tons of fun AND to not forget to call me when they get in the hotel. Yikes - I'm turning in to my mother! When Dad called at 7:30 to let me know their flight is delayed until 8pm, but not sure yet, etc... I started to worry. I took it upon myself to call the hotel to make sure their room is reserved since they're flying in to Maui late. I kept calling Dad to check in on them - the Big Guy said I might be irritating him already. At 9pm, when I haven't heard from him, I decided to call and got his voicemail - so I figured they probably got on board and he had to turn off his phone. Finally, I get a voicemail at home at 8:10 with Dad saying they were boarding already. You would think my worry-head would calm down then? Of course not. I left him a message to text me or leave me a voicemail when they get in the hotel just so I know they got in safe. I woke up with no text message. I told the Big Guy. He said Dad probably didn't get my message.
I get a text message at 10:30am - they got in ok but really late at night. They will go sight-seeing today and he is even thinking of going parasailing! Ayayayayay! You let your parents lose and look at what they want to do :). I'm sure they'll have a grand time.
Today C had to make a court appearance. I was worried about her too because when we drove by at 9:30, no one was home. I asked the Big Guy "should I worry?" Anyways, she called me today to let me know how it went. It breaks my heart because I know it breaks hers. Ugh....the urge to kill... I tell you! I have never felt so much anger in my heart before - it scares the hell out of me if you must know. Inspite of it all, as Mom says, God provides. In due time this will all make sense. In due time the pain will go away. In due time C will make light of all of this. In due time.
Last night, the Big Guy, the monster and I drove around town aimlessly - looking for nothing in particular. Actually, we were going to get the Big Guy's tv at Target but the one we went to only had the store display so we didn't get that one. We drove back home to get Jake's diaper bag which we forgot to bring, thinking we were going to have sushi nearby. But by the time the Big Guy got in the car, I didn't want sushi anymore. I couldn't make up my mind. He decided to drive all the way to Santa Clara to this one sushi place he used to go to. When we pulled up, the wait was so long we decided not to go there. We drove and drove and drove...and finally at 8:45pm, decided it was time to eat just anything and we ended up at El Pollo Loco. Loco? Yup that's us! Jake loved his rice and corn. I was so full I felt like throwing up. The Big Guy got his fix. That my friends, is how we spend the night in my household :). It was fun though. Jake was wide awake the whole time. By the time we got home around 10pm, got him ready for bed and he was out in no time.
There was a special on tv last night about Jesus, Mary and Da Vinci. It was so interesting. The Big Guy read the book a year ago and he was engrossed in it. He said it's worth the read. I think I will. My curiosity has been poked, even after the whole world has already read and talked about it. The Big Guy and I talked about movies that poked our curiosities and sometimes mess with our belief systems - my all time favorite Devil's Advocate, Seventh Sign, Stigmata and the likes. Ughh...goosebumps!!! I think it's time to add more to the dvd collection.
Anyways, this blog thing is TOO cool. My N@W buddies are now online too - loving reading everyone's rants. Too cool! Now, if I can only figure out how they got them message boards and linking others' blogs and stuff. Ladies... care to help me?! Check these girls out....M, L, S's Mama and CG. Of course I cannot NOT mention The Big Guy's weird rantings online :) - those are his opinions people, not mine :).
I have to write my review. Nuts.
I have so many production issues today. Nuts.
...and I didn't have time to dry my hair. Nutty Nutty Nuts!
