This week has been wild. Monday I tried to catch up on everything from the weekend, but failed. Tuesday my youngest son got kicked out of school for two days, cause he did the right thing. Wensday I spent with me son, easy day but still did a lot. Yesterday I had to take care of things at my boys school. Then spent the whole day shopping for a book for my roommate, spent alot but never found his #@&% book. Today it was back to the school then chores all day. I think I need a vaction from life.
Right now I think I must be one of the happiest people on earth. My tatto artist just called me to say he was Ok. He lives in Long Beach MS and got hit hard by the storm. His house got alot of damage but he's good outherwise. He is a very dear friend to me and I'm oh so happy he's OK.
Right now my mind has shut down. I got a call awhile ago from my oldest son's father, I have not talked to him in over 15 years. We talked for almost an hour it was very odd. He asked for blood work and if my boy is his (which he is) he wants to see him. My son turns 15 on the 28th of next month and this man has never seen him., now he wants too. I'm not sure what to think. My mind is completely blown.
Today I hope to feel well anough to get out of the house. My boys are so good to me and they never complain about staying home. I need to get them out of here for awhile. Maybe we can go to the beach or somewhere outdoors, we could all use the fresh air.
I just wish my roomie could get sometime off so we could go shoot our new bows. I'm not sure how to get to place we go shoot , he always drives there. It looks like he'll have 7 day weeks from now till at least Thanksgiving.
Later that same day
My roommate got off 2 hours early so he could take us to shot our bows. Sometimes I wish there was more I could do for him, he treats us so great.
Yesterday was day 10 of my just feeling plain sick. I woke up to My roommate telling me to call the DR and make an appt. He had stayed home from wrok to make sure I got to the Dr. This may not sound like much to some but he was on over time and would have made around 300$ yesterday.
We got the boys off to school then to the DR. I got all types of tests done both arms are full of holes. My roomie got black and blue hands (I hate having blood work done). He bought me lunch, then home to play games and rest.
Sometimes it's the smallest things that mean the most. I really don't know where I would be in life with out my roomie, but I do know that I could not be any happier then I am now.
Everything has been going good up to today. My gerbil has gotten over the death of her mate, I started helping at the pet shelter and my boys were behaving better, life seemed to be going great. Then today I heard from a few of my friends on the coast.
One of them is being taken by work (navy) from her babys, that breaks my heart. Try to explain to a child why you have to leave them, it's the hardest thing for a mother to ever have to do. I know how it makes you feel to have to leave your kids, been there done that, cried a river.
Another friend called, he lost everything even his pets. His dog Buka was like his child and his girlfriend had a cat that was her baby , both are dead. He lost 4 snakes, my snake Uther was one of them. I didn't cry till he was telling me about having to find the pets and put them in the ground.
I feel helpless, their is no way for me to help. It hurts to know that for the first time I can't even help alittle.
Today I went to the local animal rescue center. It makes me feel good to be able to go in and give my love to animals that need it so baddly. I spent a good two hours there and was helping with a few of the dogs, when the guy in charge of the kennels asked if I wanted to help More offten. I thought about it and said I would talk it over with my roommate and kids.
On the way home I stoped to see Hannibal, my Rottweiler-in-law. His Mom started work and he's been so lonely she asked me to stop in and play if I could. We played for about an hour, he cried when I left. It was nice to see a dog that has had a good life after being at the shelter with the poor pups there.
When my roomie got home we talked about me going to help at the shelter,. I thought he might say no do to my health, but he said yes. We both think it will be good for me to feel needed and useful. He even said he'll help more around the house if I need him to so I can go more often.
I have the best roommate in the world. He works 10 hour days 5-7 days a week and still helps with the house and kids. All he ever asks of me is that I keep his check book in order, make sure all his bills stay paid, and that I take care of my health. What a doll.
Yesterday I was a bit down so I went for a moonlight walk. I was out in my yard looking around and saw what I thought was a bird hunting under the street lamps. I walked up close and saw it was a downed bat. It seemed ok but was too close to the road. I took a stick and hooked his hind feet, he was soo cute. I held the stick for a while looking at small fuzzy beast. It seemed to be stuned, I think maybe winded from a passing car. After about 5 mins it took off , I watched it fly around my yard near the lamps.
There were about 6 outher bats all flying around that I had not even noticed before. I like seeing them in my yard, means less bugs to bite me. I love little beasts of all kinds but for some reason the bats were calming.
Yesterday I decided to quit my job, I'm a full time mother-homemaker. My son Nick is 14 and thinks he is a little god. I went to my boys school to turn in a slip stateing why they missed a few days. On the way to the school I checked my mail and found a letter from one of Nick's teachers saying he was failing. When I got there I asked to have him sent up to the office, he Yelled at me and bowed up in my face like he wanted to hit me. I was pissed as hell, never before have I come so close to hitting my son. I just left. By the time he got home he was being an angel and kissing my ass.
My roomie and his bestfriend took the boys out to shot bows lastnight and had a talk with them. I think they may have told them that the next time there would be an ass beating. I'm not sure what was said but it worked, for now.
Today I got up with the boys and my Nickie was being so sweet, I'm still pissed and he's still grounded until death. I think that he knows he pushed it too far yesterday. I was ready to just get in my car and drive.
My roommate and I loaded my boys into the car earlly Thursday morning, after going to the DR for my nearves. We headed up to my sisters wedding in Minnisota, we stoped for the night at 2 am. Got up friday and finished the 24 hour drive. We got in just in time to go eat dinner with my sister. After dinner my Ex hubby (best friend) and my baby girl got in , we all stayed in the same hotel so we could see eachouther. We were up till around 10 then the kids all stayed in Daddys room.
On Saterday we got up at 6am when my cell phone went off. My bestfriend Julie that I had been worried sick about called. They are all ok but may not have a home at all. I was so happy I cried. Her voice was the best sound I have ever heard.
Then we went to the state park where my sis was getting married. My Mom and her hunny where there along with my father. (my sister and I are halfs we have the same dad but my mom claims her too). It was odd to met the family I have there I've only seen them twice in my life. It was nice my sis got married under the trees and it was raining so we both loved it.
After the dance-dinner my roomie and I crashed, the kids stayed with their dad for a bit. We all said goodnight when the kids got in then crashed for the night. Got up early Sunday and met my sis just to visit before heading home. Said our goodbyes and headed out.
The trip home went good Sunday we stopped in Wisconson (not sure I spelled that right) and I climed up the side of a very tall rock formation with my kids (I hate up). Then up to the top of a ridge with a wonderful view (will have pics up soon). We stopped around 2am after driving through Chicago.
Monday we got up and started off around 9am. We stopped in Ohio to see my Julie (at her sisters). I was so relived to see all my babys (she has 8 kids)and her. We were only able to visit for an hour or so but it was great. than back on the road. We got home to very mad cats around 5am today and crashed.
It was a long heard trip but I had a blast. I got to see alot of my family and see new things.
