Okay.....last Monday C and C turned 17. On Tuesday or Wednesday Chelsey says...oh by the way, our license expired on Monday. Grrrrrr, so Thursday i write them a note to go to school late, so they can go renew. They go in one car, as requested, and Chelsey texts me later and says "couldnt get because we do not have a VOE". I text back, "what the heck is a VOE?". No reply. I text Colby, he doesnt know and says that it comes from the school. Colby says, we have the same birthday and parents, so Chelsey can figure it out and just get one. I text Chelsey, WHATEVER IT IS, GET TWO. She gets TWO on Friday. I tell them more than once, if you get stopped, they will TOW your car, so they drive right all weekend...well, at least right enough to not get stopped. Today, i call the school, give permission to let them out at 1:30pm, since DL office closes at 4pm. They come home, shower, Chelsey fixes her hair (MOM, they are going to take our picture, i cant look stupid) Off they go to Sherman, since there is never a line. Chelsey texts that they are STILL waiting in line at 4:25pm. I get home and both have renewed their license, thank goodness. Still not sure what the VOE is, but is was a PITA (pain in the a#%). Renewal cost $6.00 each. Is it really necessary? Good grief.....least we know, for next year! But, then they will be 18, so i am sure the rules will change....
Crazy Monday, all day long.....a friend posted on Facebook "calgon take me away!". I couldnt agree more! Our NEW Realtor emailed this morning that the people who came yesterday didnt even get out of the car. They wanted "more secluded..". Now......this time i opened every blind, left lights on, etc., even shoved clothes around in our closet, so it didnt seem "closed in" as the realtor said from the last people, the last visitors didn't like that it was "a dark house" and floor plan didnt work for them. So.....this morning, when hail was hitting our windows and power was going on and off, my first thought was "well....it will have light if all the windows break and if we had a bunch of trees, they'd be ripped to pieces with the wind and hail.". I think this whole thing is going to make me nuttier than i was before we listed it....maybe i'll plant a few trees this coming weekend....so it's secluded, but NOT by the windows, so the light can get in. And wait for another hail storm.
As i am about to leave for work this morning, Danny texts (no we do NOT talk on our phones anymore) to "check the roof above our bathroom and Colby's truck." Soooooo, gritting my teeth, i stomp outside to look at the roof. Nothing wrong, i walk to every angle. Nothing. Then i stomp out to Colby's truck....nope, same dents HE put in it....nothing new. I come back in, and text Danny "both okay ???". He texts back, "okay, just making sure....." I think i'll go drink a bottle of calgon now....can i choose where to be "taken away"? Mexico sure sounds good!
Love to all!

A windy Saturday...
Taxes complete....$35.00 refund. I will try and not spend THAT all in one place. Might just use it to buy minnows, cant get much else!
Wind is terrible, but it's still sunny and beautiful out, so i am not complaining.
Colby has decided he doesnt want his truck anymore....could it be because he STAYS in trouble for needing gas money ALL the time. He said a Tahoe is better than his truck. Said it takes 40.00 for Dallas to fill his up, and it lasts a week. Now......seriously.....40.00 if it's on a half a tank and lasts a week if you only start it everyday, but never put it into drive or reverse. There will be NO Tahoe for Colby!
Off for an early dinner, i am starving!

Update
I just talked to Mom a little bit ago. They had Dad up walking today it's been two weeks, so i am sure he was glad to be mobile. He used a walker, but who cares, he was standing! She said they would be moving him next week, from ICU, to another part of the hospital. He's eatting good (raw oysters yesterday...gag). Mom even sounded good, less worry in her voice. She's at a friends house tonight, to save on the drive time, so Thank you to Val for letting her hang out with you.
Off to bed, headache and tired tonight

A video worthy of "People of WalMart"
Okay.....so i head to WalMart at noon (Danny says....see ya 4pm, the turd!) with a very short list of items to buy. Make a run thru, get all on the list, check out and head to the parking lot. My list consisted of the following:
Clementines (those little oranges), two BIG trash cans, carpet fresh, birthday cake, little trash bags, dog food, wheat bread, broom, BIG trash bags, 2 gallons of milk, and a new rug for the kitchen. Got all but the rug, and only added 2 helium balloons after i got there.
Soooooo......i am headed to Chelsey's SUV (planned ahead for the trash cans) fighting the balloons in the 100 mph wind. Tie the balloons to my purse, put them in the front passenger seat, try and shut the door while balancing the cake with one hand. The gd balloons are trying to escape. Foot hooked in cart to keep it rolling away. Death grip on cake. Smacking the balloons, trying to get them far enough in, so i can shut the door. Still wind is 100mph. Wrap balloon strings around purse, throw across to driver's seat, slam door. Pam 1 Balloons 0.
Wheel cart to back of SUV. Keys are, yep, you guessed it, in purse....push cart to driver's door. Balloons are right against window. Push cart to other side, open passenger door, grab purse, balloons come too....take keys out of purse, with balloons slapping me in the face in the wind. Throw purse back to driver's seat, still balancing cake, one foot hooked in cart and YES, still windy as heck! Slam door. Hit button to open back door, up it goes....here come balloons. Fight them back AGAIN. Pam 2 Balloons 0. Place cake in first.
Get sacks out, that are all around trash can in cart....broom falls over and pops me in the head. Get all sacks out and in back, then see 25 lb bag of dog food, which i wisely place on bottom of cart, so nothing got mashed. Wheel cart to back passenger door, and balloons are right there, as if they are smiling at me. Wheel around to driver's side back door....open it up, grab dog food, toss it in and shut door....was feeling pretty good until i look back at cart and there are the gd trash cans....OKAY.... Back passenger door, fight ballons again, grab dog food, toss over into drivers side seat, grab trash cans, and here come the GD balloons again..... Sit down trash cans, take balloons and stuff them under seat, dont even care if they pop at this point....take out trash cans, with them propped on my legs, i walk them into the back seat. Balloons try and escape AGaIN....slam door. Cart is empty. Take it over to cart return, wipe sweat from forehead.....walk back to drivers door, open it....and NOW the dog food is a problem...not enough room for my wide butt and 25 lb bag of dog food....grab it, toss to passenger seat, jump in and shut the door. Keys? Keys? Well.....they are laying inside the back, with the cake if course... Sooo...i thought, okay, they car is push button start, maybe it will work.....allas...it starts. I get out of the parking lot, onto to 380, turn on 2478, flying home....it's 1:35 at this point, so i am thinking HAHA...Danny was wrong, i WILL make it before 4pm. Drive down 2478, turn on 1461, then down to 2478 again.....come over a hill and a tractor is pulling a mobile home right down the middle of the road! SLAM on the breaks, trash cans rock forward and back and OUT pop the balloons.....soooooo, the three of us ride home, with me holding them in one hand and driving with the other. I get home, park in garage, take balloons in first. Tie one in Chelsey's room and the other in Colby's. Double knot, so that they do not visit the ceiling fans....
Unload the sacks, unload trash cans, throw dog food bag out in garage.... Go in the house and sit in chair for a minute. Grrrrrrr, forgot the cake, go back out, get it out of the car, and set on counter...... I look at my cell phone, and Chelsey has text at 1pm...."get us something for lunch...". She can eat a couple of balloons for all i care!
Good grief...what a fiasco.....worthy of "people of WalMart" wall of fame.....
Sorry you missed it!
