A rough three days....

21 years ago This past Tuesday, Sunny's wreck happened

18 years ago yesterday, I miscarried with baby #1.

Today....Colton passes out from the heat and takes am ambulance ride. All is okay but it was a scary few hours. So glad he is okay and that they glued his forehead back together, which was cuts and scraped during his fall to the concrete.

Please let tomorrow be dull, and memory free....

Night night,
PK

Yes...another month end

June is only a few hours from ending THANK GOODGESS! Got home last night at a little before 10pm. Long damn day! Carla, thanks for talking to me for half that ride. Made it go a little faster.

A funny Mortgage story....yesterday of Underwriting Manager and UW Support person were looking at a file and laughing. This doesn't happen often, because most of the time we are trying to figure how the heck to make a deal work. That is the reason I have wrinkles in my forehead by the way. Well, I had to stop and see what was causing the laugh.....property in CA with lots of "stuff" in the garage. Black lights, potting soil, planter pots, anodynes, you guessed it MARIJUANA growing all over the place. The next page was of a card being held by the owner proving they were growing it for medicinal reasons. I laughed so hard!!!! Couldn't believe it!

I should tell you my morning began finding a mirror in one of our cedar trees.....yep, Colby was going too fast down the driveway and slid into the tree. Today he's going to get an estimate to fix his bashed truck. Repeat after me.....I will live thru two teenagers...I will live thru teenagers.....

The heat is tough on Danny right now...but he's making it.

Chelsey is "bored" most of the time, so today I have already left her a note to wash the dishes in the sink.

Off to get dressed. Time to blow thru the day!

SMU...

Today is a sad day....let me back up and explain that statement first. Every year that we have been in Celina, I have selected a Senior football player, to watch and cheer for, as if he were my very own. There have been many over the years, some I keep up with, others I do not. This year it was Keller Adams, middle linebacker, and one heck of a football player I actually communicated with him on Facebook and finally got to meet him weekend before last. Such a great all around guy. Today he left for SMU. I can only imagine how his mom and dad felt as he left at noon. He posted on FB "goodbye Celina, it's been real. Hello SMU!". Made me sad to see the post....but, now I have another team to keep up with as I am certain we will hear his name again. Best of luck Keller!

Off to watch The Bachelorette.....she just needs to get over Bentley!

A snake!!!

Met Chelsey and Colby for dinner last night, since I hadn't seen them in days... Afterwards I ran to the grocery store for items to make a big pan of potatoes, for work today. On my way home Chelsey calls and says MOM, guess what? My heart skips a beat because of the tone of her voice....we just killed a giant snake at the house. She tells me all about it and we hang up. Then Colby calls MOM, we just killed a giant snake in front of the house. I ask HOW did you kill it? Well...with the shot gun of course. I ask if Danny knows. YES Mom, he knows... I arrive home to a Trembling Chelsey and Colby has gone after gas. She wants me to see it, so we walk behind the garage and it's not there. She calls Colby...."ten or so foot from the storage building" so we get on the Kubota and can't find it. We are both a little nervous at this point. She decides he means the building, not the garage, so we head up the hill to snake hunt. We do not see it. Chelsey is beyond having a fit and I must admit....if it has no head, where the HECK is it? While we are parked by a bunch of trees, a bug flies into the Kubota and hits her, she about jumps on top of me! We finally find the snake and I run over it. It MOVES and she is in panic mode by now so we drive back down the hill and go into the house....giant black snake, made a sissy out of us both!

Glad it's Friday.....Danny had to be at work at midnight, road construction on 75, and he is not home yet....and he has to work today. He'll be exhausted! Hope he doesn't have to work tomorrow, we have a wedding to attend, right Karen?

Have a great day all!

Made it home!

plane was late leaving so instead of landing as planned at 8:35pm, we arrived at about 9:20. Waited, and waited, and waited on my luggage then headed home only to find 121 shut down in Frisco due to construction. Oh well, one of the guys is stuck in Chicago tonight, his flight to Florida was cancelled. Guess I shouldn't complain.

Not much to report about Chicago...the Windy City. We left in the rain....

Night night, I am pooped!

Joliet, Illinois...

Haven't traveled in a few years....but today that changed. Flew out of DFW into Chicago and then rode to Joliet, which is about an hour from Chicago. I do not know if we went North, South, East or West, but we made it. Staying at Harrah's Casino. No, I didn't win, but I only lost $20.00, so it's a win in my book!

Tornado warnings this afternoon, just before dark. I think we brought this morning early storms with us. Meetings tomorrow then we drive back to the airport.

Nothing exciting....saw a bum asleep near the river. Saw the airport, nothing compares to DFW. Ate a great steak. See, nothing exiting!

Jeannine, your blog made me laugh again. Glad you found the dang TC's..... You should write for the Rains County Leader, you'd be a hit just like Pauline used to be several years ago. Please consider it...

Off to sleep now, and NOT think about the Casino that is 4 floors below me.

Happy Father's Day!

First....I have to say Happy Father's Day to my Daddy. You looked great today! So glad to see you getting back to your old self. Enjoyed seeing you and Mom at the reunion. And thank you for the pole. I stopped and got a new reel for it and it will not fit, so I plan to try again before you come back up to fish with me. I fished this afternoon for about 45 minutes. Caught a giant turtle and a perch. Too hot for such little success.

Next, Happy Father's Day to My hubby Danny. Burgers, hot dogs and pool side are the plan. Not planning to leave the house at all! Ashley and all the boys are coming over. Should be lots of fun. Hopefully we do not roast out by the pool.

Next, to a special man that is not here to hug for Father's Day....love to you Douglas. Hope you and Bobbie Jo are up there playing canasta and enjoying watching over all of us. I can see you chuckling at Kentlee pooping by the trash can. Bobbie's shoulders are probably bouncing as she laughs. Miss you both!

Next....Happy Father's Day to my brother in law Paul. Thank you for making my beautiful sister and niece so happy! Hope your Father's Day is a great one. You are a special guy Paul Bradshaw!

Now...off to bed I go. Got to be up and make breakfast for Danny in the morning. Surely I can make an omelette without it falling apart...

Love to all!
