Traffic!

Well.....this morning, somehow a Coca Cola truck caught fire on 35 near 121. Traffic was at a stand still on multiple roads. I do not even travel 35, because it is a parking lot, but the effects spilled on to 121, so....my usual 40+- minute commute took an hour and 35 minutes. Not a good start to my day! People were cutting thru the grass to get out of the mess. I, being a law abiding citizen (forget that i drive 80 in 121 the rest of the time) stayed with it until i could legally exit! I can't risk a flipping ticket, with 2 seventeen year olds to set an example for!

Tomorrow should be better, as long as Coke is not making up for a fire with multiple trucks!

A little bump...

As usual, let me say, no one was injured.....Chelsey calls me late this afternoon and says "Mom, i just hit someone". After i take abreath, i ask, "are you okay? Is the other person okay? Is your car okay? Is the other persons car okay?". The answers? Yes, yes, yes and yes. Whew...thank goodness. She bumped a lady at the light here in Celina. She pulled over, gave all her info, gave the insurance, looked all her car and the other one, and headed home. Then she fell to pieces on me. The Lexus bumper was popped loose on both sides and she got dark paint on it. I hit the bumper on both sides, and it popped right back in. Then a little elbow grease got the dark paint off of it. And then her phone rang....the other lady got home and her back bumper is (plastic) cracked. Sooooooo, we get to fix that. She said her neck hurt (here we go) but that it hurts all the time anyway....we shall see what comes of this "little bump".

Colby was safe amd sound at home watching tv. Being innocent, for once! Let's hope this is not a wind up for Friday, which is the 13th. Ugh...

Mother's Day

Happy Monday morning,

Brunch with Ashley, Tazz, Colton, Dylan, Susie, Otis, Danny, Colby, and Chelsey in Anna at Crow's. Took my Mother's Day cash and bought worms, minnows, and shrimp and YES, as soon as i got home, about 12:30pm, i headed down to the lake and fished until almost 7 o'clock.
Had a great time! Tyler and his grandparents, his Mom, and brothers spent the day down there with me. Tyler would say "Mom" and we'd both answer. It was too funny!

Off to work this morning, have a great day all!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all....today's plans are to meet Ashley, Tazz and the boys for an early lunch in Anna, then i hope to put a minnow on a hook for the rest of the day, and just enjoy doing nothing.

Made a quick trip east yesterday....saw Mom and Dad. Dad looks really good and feels much better. Was nice to see him in his recliner, instead of a hospital bed. Carla, i hope you enjoy your day playing with your new iPhone. And yes, much better for you than last year. We left Emory and headed to Greenville (well actually Cash) to see Mary, Judy, Susan and Donny. Stopped at Catfish Heaven on the way home, so i couple have their salad bar amd garlic/jalapeno pickles. Love them!

To all that read our blog, i hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day. Still curious who is from Boston, wish you'd let me know who you are.

Softball again

Picked Chelsey up from home and headed to Allen for the girls softball game. Playoff time! They were tied in the 6th, so it went to extra innings...8th inning, we are home, last bat, two on base, two outs...a hit to short left field that takes a hop. Third base over throws 1st amd SCORE! They won. Today at 1pm, we will go back. Best of 2 in the series moves on. If they get beat in the first game, we turn around and play 30 minutes later. Some of these girls are from the teams Chelsey used to play on 10 years ago. Lots of fun to see them play now. Hope they make it to Austin....they are ranked #1 in the state for 3a. So much talent in this little town!

Have a great Saturday all...and Mom and Dad, we will probably head down late this afternoon for a visit. Will call and let you know.

Gun shots...

Just heard gun shots outside...wonder if someone is cougar hunting? Tyler's Grandpa was here just a bit ago and he's had two goats end up dead and partially eatten, so he is convinced that the cougar is still here. Lovely....after he told me that, i high tailed it back up to the house, from the lake. Course if something had jumlped out at me as i walked, i probably would have peed myself...

Company picnic was today. They shot 150 t-shirts from a sling slot. I worked in peace, while every one else was at the picnic. I did run up there and have a couple of hamburger patties amd pickles. I called it my "lean and green" meal for the day. Dance contests, tug of war, bounce house sort of things....i am too old for all that!

Glad Friday is near again. Ashley asked what i wanted for Mother's Day. My reply? Minnows... Perfect gift for me!

Danny is watching "Hogs Gone Wild" at the moment...or shall i say he is snoring thru it. If i touch the remote, he will wake up, so i think i will just head to bed instead.

Butt dialing...

Ever get a butt dial call? Or make one on accident? My dear sister does it ALL the time. This afternoon it happened and i hear what sounds like a motorcycle in the background....so i hang up, give her a few minutes and call her back. No answer....all sorts of "oh my gosh, i hope she is okay" thoughts start going thru my mind. So.....i text her. No reply. 2 hours later, she replies "yes, butt dial, i was weed eatting!". Okay...so it wasnt a moforcycle, whew.... Funny thing is, if i ever accidentally butt dial, it's always to her as well. Crazy how that happens. Least we always think of each other, LOL. Love you Carla!

Jeannine, we all have one of those cry nights on occassion.....keep your chin up!

Love to all, night night.
