Pretty good lookin' man... Pretty grounded boy.

 Today at work this man came in. He's a regular customer. He was chatting about how he'd went to get his chew, and the lady asked to see his ID. Once she read his ID she looked at him and told him You look pretty good for a man of almost 67 years! He told her thank you and said that he asked for 2 cans instead... Later on that night he and his wife were at dinner. He was telling her about the compliment he received, earlier in the day at the smoke shop. Oh I know which store you went to! His wife told him You do? he said Which one? The one that old BLIND lady works in! his wife replied. I am pretty sure I could write a whole book, about nothing but funny stories I have heard from customers!

 Then when work is about over, I realize my son has walked away from home. Destiny was watching him and Hannah, when Bailey got upset and said he was going to walk to daddy's work. Destiny blew him off and I guess figured he'd walked to the gas station with his 5$ prize left from the tooth fairy last night.

 At 2pm my mom calls, asking if I had Bailey now. He had been up at HER WORK getting a soda!? You have to cross like the busiest intersection IN our town to get to my moms work, which he is not allowed to do... As if  you didn't know this. Hell I dont even like to cross a street like that. O M G so of course all my hair is instantly grey. I have no brown left in my head.

 We found the boy, obviously or I would not be patiently sitting at my computer blogging. I would be frantic. So anyway turns out he went back to my moms work, and she called me. Tim went and got him. When I got home he was hiding under his desk. I talked to him and told him to get some lunch. We talked about what he could have done, when he was upset, and what he had BETTER do the next time, instead of walking all over God know's where alone and nobody know it.

 Later he asked me to get him something, and I told him to do it himself, he said oh well I kind of thought I would not be allowed to leave my room for at least the night. Out of all my kids, Bailey is always the one who admits he was wrong, says he is sorry and really, honestly means it.

 So of course in the heat of it all, Destiny made time to ask all of facebook if they have seen her brother, who is missing...(and facebook is a good outlet for missing kids so it was not a dumb idea) I figure why not share with my blog, and facebook since they already know through Destiny. Promise even called, asking if Bailey was home, and seeming worried. Go figure. They do love each other, and even worry about one another. Huh. Who knew?!

 Oh and have I mentioned today is not even nearly over? Yeah its just now 4pm. I do believe I will partake in some pucker and diet sprite here shortly... They have driven me to drinking!

Ahh a fresh new week.

It is Monday. Daylight savings gave me this extra hour of sleep and a bright sunny morning to wake up to. The weekend is behind me now along with that UNGODLY busy week. My best friend is home from her camping trip, I have learned how to use, and LOVE my new phone... All feels right with the world!  Over the weekend Destiny was gone. It was kind of quiet around here, but Promise made sure to make up for the crankiness and teenager (esq) that might be lacking in the household. Thank you Promise. Your just too kind.  Rooster boy came and stayed the night. Not sure why but my son always has these strange thoughts he thinks are good ideas when rooster boy stays... Not saying its rooster boy, my son even admitted it was his own idea, I just think when boys get together, they lose all ability to ration out what is a good and what is a bad idea.  So what was the bright idea this weekend? To "splatter paint" A bowling pin . I guess I should be happy, that at least ...

Its not always 50/50

 Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter.  So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well.  God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

Time Flies

A year ago today my best friend gave birth to her second little boy. TWO years ago tomorrow my first granddaughter was born. Both seem like yesterday, but also so long ago. Two years in a row almost on the same day I got to watch the miracle of life happen... I have done it myself four times, but it never ceases to amaze me. To watch it is just amazing that our body does that. GROWS someone in side of us and then gets that someone OUT. Just amazing. Life is stressing me out right now however, I am trying to take this weekend to just tune out anything and everything that is getting to me, just have fun, go to birthday parties, eat cake and not worrry. Not worry about bills or calories or my steps (I even took my fit bit off) Just be me, just enjoy what there is in life to enjoy. My amazing friends, and my crazy family and the hot summer weather.
