Snake


okay... I'm sitting at the kitchen table. Waiting for the Animal Control to get here. I have a huge ass snake locked in my bathroom. I heard something fall in the living room, turned off the water(dishes) and walked to inspect. The cats had knocked over a picture frame. Before I could yell at them a huge ass snake slid across the floor. The cats were attacking it, I'm screaming and it's heading for the bathroom. Ok. Last place I want it. I have not had a chance to clean the bathroom. So I shut the bathroom door, pull clothes from the hamper and stuff them under all the doors (don't want a snake in my bedroom) and call Animal Control. So that was a 1:30ish and it is now 2:17. What a way to take a vacation day. The worst part is that I have to go Pee really bad. *Sigh*

Our Front Yard


C. S. Lewis:
The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.

where are you?


Let me try to explain... since you don't know what's wrong. Change. I have changed. You said that during the toast at my wedding. You did not like it at first. You said it was because you did not understand it. You learned it was love and that I did not change. I just became a better person then I was. You said you wanted to feel that. You wanted that love in your life too.
.
.
Well now I say... "you have changed" but you left one daughter behind. You jumped into a relationship so fast I never saw it coming. I jumped into my relationship fast too. However I did not have small children and an ex husband in tow. I have thought about you this summer off and on. But when I do, you make me mad, sad and fustrated. Do you even know how many times I have cried after we got off the phone. I can't do it anymore. I wish I could yell at you and ask you "what are you doing?!?" ... " why are you doing this?" "She's fucking 11 years old and your treating her like she is our age". ... but I can't, because I already hung up the phone and said good bye.

No matter what you do, you will always be my friend, however I will carry this friendship and love on, not with you, but with your daughter. I was never able to save you. But I can stay around and help you daughter. Make sure she has her needs met. I miss you.
.
I wish you all happiness in the world. I 've lost two friends this summer. One after 9 years and the other after 19 years. Time will tell what the next chapter is in our lives. We have been separated before and came back even stronger.
We will see.

Fourth of July




4th of July
My husband and I went over to my parents to participate in their block party. The food was good. My little curly haired girl did not call back. So I did not think she was coming. My dad was in charge of the music and it blasted down the block. The cul-de- sac kept the music steady and clear. After we ate we watched the games and then decide to clean up and break down the table decorations. We left before the fireworks. We came home to sit with the dogs. My husband made coffee and we sat out under the stars and watched all the illegal fireworks fly into the air. We kept a close eye on our neighbors... bottle rocket addicts.
Low and behold, my curly hair girl came... with her dad and her 1/2 brother and dad's honey. Awkward, but I will do it to see my girl. You see this is Lucy's daughter, ex-husband and husband girl with new baby. I did it though. They went to my parents and watched the fireworks, thinking we were there. Then they dropped by our house. We showed them our new truck and they gave me a gift. A pink shawl. Interesting ... over all.
