Just a Reminder.

I don't spell check. If it's going to drive you absolutely insane that there is the occassional typo, then let me apologize now. If it's going to continue to torment you then I reluctantly bid you farewell we you move on to a blog that will, hopefully, satisfy your appetite for perfect spelling and grammar.

:D

Back! I hope!

I know. I've been gone for some time leaving you hungrily anticipating my next post. Well you will hunger no longer. I have returned. You can now feed your insatiable appetite for my random droppings of minute intelligence.

LOL...I'm just kidding. If that paragraph wasn't just dripping with sarcasm I don't know if I've read one that is.

I was gone for sometime, between internet connections, I am however back. I have a new Toshiba Satellite Laptop with which to enthrall you, and a temporary internet connection.

Nothing much has changed. Grayson has gone on to the forever stimulating world of Kindergarten, Chad is now working for a Security company and I continue to toil awal as a bartender/waitress. Life is good, the bills are paid, and we are all healthy for the time being.

It's late so I will post more tomorrow.

Welcome Back Me!

Heart Attack Alert

yes today I had my first and certainly not my last heart attack. While finishing up my shift at the bar I receive a phone call from Chad frantic. "I can't find Grayson anywhere!" he says. I didn't immediately panic. I remember my sister and all her neighbors frantically searching for her 3 year old daughter, only to find her asleep under an end table in the living room while giving directions to the police officer on the phone. I make sure he's checked everywhere. Under stuffed animals, in closets, in the water pump house, the tree house, etc. Nothing. He's screaming and crying like a mad man. I get off the phone and call my boss requesting she have the night bartender come in early so I can come home and search for my son. i call Chad back and still nothing. He's standing on the front porch. My heart drops and I remember the pool. I ask if he's checked the pool. he says yes and he's not there. That doesn't make much of a dent in the panic that's growing. I remove my tips from the jar and start counting my drawer while I wait. I'm almost done counting when I get a call from Chad. He's found. He was at the fire station across the street, and he found this out when he called the police. Apparently the fire station was on the phone with the police at that time.

I find out while at work that Grayson had gone in the bedroom looking for Chad and didn't see him. So he just went outside looking for him. The cop told Chad that a woman has picked Grayson up in her car and taken him to the fire station. I'm very upset by this. Not only with Grayson, he is 5 and not as aware to the ways of the world as the adult that picked him up. Yes I'm upset with him for getting in the car with a stranger and intend on having a lengthy conversation with him about Stranger Danger as soon as I get home.

We're talking to Grayson and he kept saying that he didn't get in the car with him. This is weird because the police officer told him that one of the fire fighters had seen him get out of the womans car. So I'm trying to get Grayson to understand that while he's ok, not all people are going to be nice and he's not to get in the car with anyone he doesn't know. Under no circumstances. He's adamant though.

So we decide to go up there. We talk to the man that was with him. He said that what actually happened was he'd been outside and had seen grayson out there. He's been kind of walking back and forth in front of the for sale sign in the yard and didn't think much of it. Just assumed that he was playing in his yard. He then saw a woman pull up and talk to him and then pull off. He started to walk over there when he saw her turn the car around and head back toward him. he went on over and got him. He took him to the fire station and talked to him and set him up with cake, a glass of milk and Sponge Bob. Come to find out he told them that his Daddy was Chad, his Mommy was Leiann, that Daddy worked at Kroger and I worked at a bar.

Luckily everything turned out ok but it took Chad forever to settle down. Both are happily snoring away in my bed. LOL

We're now going to eat chocolate chip cookies and drink Promise Land Chocolate Milk.

My panic took forever to go away but it's gone now. Heart Attacks suck!

My son the disbeliever!

My son never believes anything I say! To prove this I went to the local liqour store today. I saw this ice cream cake on 30 Minute Meals and wanted to make it. Well Chad has used all the Kahlua and neglected to let me know this so I went to get more. I walk in, after setting the alarm on my truck, and explain to Grayson as we walk down an aisle lined on both sides with MANY bottles of wine, that said bottles are all glass and therefore breakable. Apparently he doesn't believe me and decides to test this theory. He reaches out with the hand that I am not holding and thumps one of the bottles. It slightly wobbles after making a satisfactory glass like sound to settle safely without crashing to the floor. I'm scared he's not satisfied that they are indeed glass bottles so I take both hands and hold them over his head to walk down the aisle with the Kahlua on it. Now keep in mind I'm holding my keys in my hand and I have one of those remotes with the nifty red panic buttons on it. Next thing I know everyone is rushing to the front of the store to see why there's an alarm going on right in front of the entrance to the store. Argh! I hit the panic button. I go out and turn it off but not before everyone knows it was me! LOL Yes Grayson the bottles are breakable and I'm not lieing!

Bronchitis Ick!

Yes you read right! I've been blessed with Bronchitis. Blech. I'd been fighting it for a few weeks. I'd decided it was my allergies and was doing my best to do what I could to make it better. I was taking Benadryl everyday, had a humidifier for the room and short of digging a gigantic hole to put the house in and hooking a hose up to my truck to run the exhaust into I wasn't going to replicate the Houston air here. So after work Friday I decide I better go to the doc that all my efforts have been futile. I went to the ER and was thankfully in and out within an hour. They gave me Zithromax and a cough suppresant, which was in pill form and just weird, but I'm on the mend. Chad had to deal with the bedroom having a humidifier and a vaporizer going at the same time but he was a good sport about it and I'm being babied! LOL

I'll right more later. I need to take my medicine as there's about to be a lung included with this post!

New Free Silver Jewelry Ad!

Yeah I know. There's "Free" stuff on the internet all the time. But this really is. I pay $5.99 shipping and get a piece of quality Sterling Silver Jewelry, sometimes with a genuine gem stone. It all depends on what it is that I like at the time. I am totally addicted to this site and order from them all the time! Check them out! I'll post pics of some of the items later!
