Manic Monday & Monday Musings

Something new (for me anyway, I’ve seen this at Janet’s many times) brought to you by Lisa!

1. What is the most useful gift you’ve ever been given? My first box of crayons, they were what opened me to explore my creative side at a very young age. I loved creating my own lines. Still do. innocent

2. Name the most terrifying moment of your life so far. My son was just a toddler, we were at a water park, it was closing time and he disappeared. It was pure chaos, people were leaving in droves, I was screaming his name, yelling for them to shut the gates, searching everywhere. He had disappeared within seconds. D rushed out from the changing area during this time finding me in a complete panic. As he and employees of the park started searching, I happened to look into the arcade….there he was, sitting under a pinball machine. I was the happiest momma in the world at the moment! That was one of the most terrifying moments of my life.

3. One hot summer afternoon, while walking through a parking lot at a large shopping center, you notice a dog suffering badly from the heat inside a locked car. What would you do? Call 911 immediately. I’d like to break the window and give the dog relief, but common sense tells me that a dog in stress could act irrationally, so I’d wait for the professionals to come and handle it.

We had a good weekend, did some shopping, attended a wedding, survived the glares of the WWotW who was in attendance, went to Romano’s Macaroni Grill for a fabulous dinner because I deserved to splurge, spent Sunday laying around the house with my honey, because we were nothing but lazy!  Nothing spectacular this weekend. We didn’t go take photos of Brandon and Brittney for their “save the date” announcement like we planned because she was exhausted after the wedding. Gee I wonder why? )   Hopefully we’ll get it done soon. Now that her sister’s wedding is over, she can focus on her own more.

Miss Priss starts her new job today, she’s going to work for my step-dad and mom’s company. She’s very excited! She is their new receptionist and she will be working full-time as well as going to school! Send her positive thoughts as she adjusts to a full schedule!

It’s Monday, so it’s that time again! I’ve been slacking a bit in the posting department, I know, but I haven’t really felt very good and when you don’t feel good you just don’t feel like doing much, even blogging. ( I have had diverticulitis in the past about 8 years ago, and it seems I’m having a flare up now. If you have never had it, count yourself lucky!! If you have, you can understand how lousy I have felt. On the upside, I’ve lost 10 pounds in the last week!! ) See something positive can come from anything!! )

Big D went to visit with his parents Friday, it wasn’t just for pleasure though. His mom has been showing early signs of Alzheimer’s (there is a family history) and his dad asked him to come and talk to her to seek medical advice. Fortunately, she listens to D and takes what he says very well. He came home feeling exhausted, but feeling that things went good, but it’s going to be a long road.

Saturday night we attended a 30th surprise party at Gloria’s for my cousin, Becky, and boy was she suprised! It was great to see our family all together for a celebration. Becky’s little girl is five, and when I met Big D, Becky was five! She was the one that shouted “Sherry your boyfriend is here”  when D had come to their house the very first time I met him. Mind you, I had no clue who he was, but that five year old had some serious fortunetelling going on!

To end my evening Saturday, I did something I don’t normally do but I got very upset. When two five year olds are outside, playing and yelling and yes being loud after being couped up in the resturaunt I can understand being a little aggravated. BUT, what I don’t understand is when a grown adult male who is sitting at a table outdoors with a party of twelve stands up and screams at the top of his lungs “SHUT UP!” at the two five year olds. shock Most of our party had gone their separate ways, but when I heard that the mom in me was fuming. How dare a grown man pick on two little girls for being little girls? Without much thought I walked over to their table, pointed my finger to that man in said, “For your information, you are an @$$hole!” The look of shock on that jerks face of priceless, he then stuttered saying he didn’t do anything. I just walked away shaking my head. I probably shouldn’t have done that, BUT I wanted him to know that he didn’t get away with it without someone noticing what a piece of dung he was. If one of the men in our group had done it, there probably would have been a big confrontation, but because a woman did it, I believe he was absolutely truly shocked. But anyway, I felt better. )

Sunday, chilled here at the casa…spent some time in the hottub to ease the back. While we were out there we watched a lama play in the field next door. So now we have Longhorns, horses and a lama to watch!  Love that part of living out here. The down size, we found a 5 foot snake skin that was shedded on the otherside of our fence…not cool!!!!!!

Looking forward to a good week…..*fingers crossed!*
