First day of school

Today was the day...I dropped my prince charming off at school today. Waking him up was a little bit of a chore. He was so funny. I told him we had to wake up, and he responded with, "okay, after I sleep!" Haha. I told him he needed to get up so he could eat breakfast. He said, "okay, after I sleep." The kid cracks me up. I finally got him up and dressed, fed, and brushed his teeth...and then came the, "Mommy, where is my DS?" I hid it last night after he went to bed because I didn't want to go through the melt down of telling him he had to leave it in the car. Luckily - disaster was avoided...I told him I would bring it to him after school! Hopefully, we can continue to avoid the melt downs. Once we got to school, he washed his hands and immediately went to one of the toy stations. I told him I would be back in a while to get him, he just looked at me and said, "okay, mommy - I love you, bye bye." I promptly left...didn't want to hang around and wait for tears to fall. Once I got to the car, my eyes were starting to burn. I was able to hold back the tears for the most part - but my eyes definitely watered. Once we got home, I thought things would be pretty good. I was thinking of what in the heck I was going to do with my day...but much to my surprise, Landry has been a little devil. She has been running around looking in the rooms...I seriously think she is looking for her brother. Then she just starts bawling and will come and sit in my lap and cling to me. I think she has finally excepted it, and is now just watching tv. Now that she is quiet and I am starting to think...I am worried about Logan. Oh man the emotions of today are already killing me! I hope he has a good day. I just realized that I didn't show him where the bathroom is, so I hope he doesn't have an accident..especially since I didn't bring a change of clothes. Oh man...I have to stop thinking about this.

San Antonio and Dallas

Thursday, Logan got to meet his teachers. There will be 18 kids in his class this year. 8 boys and 10 girls. Shocker...Logan is the tallest kid in his class. I got asked twice if he was a September baby or if he was "right on the cusp" I said nope...he won't be 5 until the end of March. Geez, just saying that outloud - my baby boy is going to be 5 in only seven months! Anyway, compared to the other kids...he just looked like such a big kid. He is no longer in that stage between being a toddler and a child - ughhh, this is going by so fast. Anywho, we stayed for nearly 2 hours, Logan played a little with the other kids, but was more content playing with Landry or on his own. This is the whole reason he is going...social skills! He seems to be really excited about the whole "going to school" concept.
After waiting all day for Direct TV to show up - which they never did (pissed), we went to the first Wimberley Texans game of the season. We played Cuero, and won 34-6. Our boys looked really good, although after a game like that I wonder if we are good, or the other team is just really bad? It was hotter than hell out there, so it was pretty miserable. Especially being that hot and chasing kids. I barely even got to watch the game! It was a great start to the season, and hopefully they can keep it up. On the way home, JR does this thing where he doesn't always pay attention while he drives...it drives me crazy - he texts, looks stuff up, or is just worried about the radio station....Wimberley back roads are not a good place to not pay attention. There were several dear, just waiting to get hit, then JR didn't see a racoon run across the road - so yup, we hit it. JR didn't understand why I was upset...but I seriously don't like the idea of being responsible for an animals death...insects are totally different. When we finally made it to the three way stop in Kyle, there was a car in front of us at the stop sign, we were stopping behind them, when JR says, "This car is coming up fast." I look in my side mirror and see a car coming in fast from behind us. All I could think in those short seconds, were my kids. Both sleeping soundly. I remember thinking that if the car hit us, they better hope they die in the wreck, because I will drag their ass out of that car and kill them myself for putting my kids in harms way. Its amazing how many thoughts can go through your mind in such a short amount of time. The car behind us swerved into the oncoming traffic lane, barely missing us at the last second. Then turned left and crashed into a telephone pole. We pulled over and called the cops. JR had to give a statement to the police. We sat there for about an hour...and my head was pounding from all the emergency lights. The driver of the car was okay - she ended up walking to the ambulance. I'm pretty sure she was under the influence of something...not alcohol, but some sort of drug.
Today, JR and Logan are headed to Dallas/Arlington. JR once again won tickets to a Rangers game, so instead of taking a friend, he is going to take Logan. I think they will have a lot of fun. We have finally broken down and JR bought Logan a Nintendo DS today. I understand that JR wants him to have something to occupy him for a four hour bus ride...but it is going to be hell to explain that he can't play on it all day or take it to school...ughhh! While JR and Logan have their day together in the north part of Texas, Landry and I are heading to San Antonio. Vanessa has officially moved in, so we are going to go visit and do some swimming and maybe go down to the river walk for a little bit. Hopefully I can remember my dang camera, since I seem to have forgotten it for the last several outtings we have had!

oopsie daisy!

The last 2.1 weeks have been hell, and I am looking at a few more days of it. The first week, as you know, I dealt with my tooth and all the pain that came with it. The second week, I went to get the tooth fixed, only to have a massive infection and guess what...MORE PAIN. The knot that I talked about yesterday is still there, however it is smaller than yesterday, and today is my last day of antibiotics. I am going to call the DDS after lunch to check in with them. I know that the knot is still infection. It started out covering almost the entire right side of my face, then I got lanced and the knot went down just a bit and I started the new antibiotics and each day the knot got smaller. So my fear is that I will still have some infection, and no more antibiotics, then the infection will just grow again and I will have it swell the entire right side of my face again. Ughhhh. Also, I still have the jaw thing going on. It is worse in the morning. When I go to brush my teeth, I have a very hard time getting my back teeth or brushing my tongue, because I can't open my mouth wide enough...and you can just forget about flossing. I usually take care of that after lunch, when my jaw has had time to open up a little more. Still if I try to open it too much it makes a popping noise and I get this lovely pain all the way into my ear! To make things even better, I started this week, and of course I have these wonderfully awesome cramps! YAY! So I get to look forward to a few more awesome days...Seriously, this has to end soon. 15 days of being miserable...GROSS!
So here's the oopsie daisy. Every night I tell Logan to go potty before going to bed. He hasn't had an accident in FOREVER...seriously it has to be about 2 or 3 months. If I go to bed before JR, I tell him, "Make sure Logan goes potty before going to bed." I also tell Logan the same thing. Last night I was exhausted - probably due to a lack of iron - so I went to bed and told the boys to take care of business. Apparently, Logan didn't pee before bed, AND JR let him sleep with us, after I have worked my butt off to get him to sleep in his own room by himself. So JR wakes up pissed off because he got pissed on. Now, somehow, I was spared from the pee....for once I didn't get the raw end of the deal. JR was so mad, saying he was going to be late for work because he had to shower AGAIN! In my eyes, it's his own damn fault. He should have made sure Logan went to the bathroom before going to bed...and on top of that - he should have gone through the ritual I have put in place that has Logan sleeping in his own bed, by himself. But JR takes the easy way out - he does what he thinks benifits him...and FINALLY after nearly 4.5 years, it backfired. He got pissed on! Honest to God...usually I am the one to suffer the consequences of his actions, and in a way, this case is no different. I am the one who has to give Logan another bath, since we all bathed last night, I am the one that has to wash the sheets, and the clothes. I am the one who will have to get him back on schedule with sleeping in his own room....but at least I have something to hold on to...JR got peed on. It really shouldn't cause so much delight for me, but it does! Maybe JR will learn that I am not talking to the wall when I say things...I doubt it, but I am sure he will make sure Logan goes to the bathroom before going to bed next time...and just in case, he may even learn to go through the routine so that Logan sleeps in his own bed. It just makes me mad that I have worked so hard to get Logan to sleep on his own...I have kept with a routine that keeps him from peeing in the bed, and in ONE single night, JR screws it all up. I understand that JR doesn't know how to manage his time. He stays up until he gets tired, then he just goes to straight to bed. He doesn't want to have to deal with anything...he's sleepy, so once in a blue moon when I want to go to bed a little early - I expect him to take care of things...guess that's my fault too! Oh well, like I said - maybe this has taught him a lesson, probably only a very small one, but I'll take it!

weekend adventure

This weekend was a change of pace for us. JR went out on Friday night and I stayed home with the kids. If you are thinking..wow, JR seems to go out quite a bit - you are thinking the same thing I am. This makes 3 weekends in a row he had gone out. I am torn on the subject. I tell him I dont care if he goes out, as long as he doesn't spend too much and is responsible, and I dont have the desire to go, it shouldn't really bother me. At the same time, I don't understand it. I would rather him stay home with us, especially since I still wasn't feeling well, but it wasn't an arguement I felt like having so I just let it be. It certainly isn't something I want to get used to though.
On Saturday, I was still coping with pain management so I slept quite a bit. We had plans to take the kids swimming, but I just couldn't muster the energy. JR ended up taking Logan to a friends pool in Austin for a couple of hours, while Landry and I stayed home. She is a handful! We cuddled and read books. We played for a bit, then she got a bath and I was able to shower, hoping that it would pick me up a little - it didn't. We played dress up, and she let me play with her hair. I was able to give her her first french braid. CUTEST thing ever! LOL

On Sunday, we went in to San Marcos. We FINALLY dropped of JR's wedding ring. He was sized for the new one. His original was a 13 and he will be getting it back in a size 10.5 Pretty crazy to think that in losing the 90 pounds his fingers also went down 2.5 sizes. I also sent mine in to be rhodium plated and resized as well. My engagement ring (which was always a bit too big) was a size 7 and my wedding band was a 6.5 have to be resized to a 5.5 - I was pretty shocked. When I first got my engagement ring, I knew it was a little loose, but I kind of liked it that way, so if my fingers were to swell or anything, there would still be plenty of space. I will be getting mine back on Sept.3, but JR wont be getting his until the end of Oct. but I am so happy that he will be able to wear his wedding ring again! From there we headed to Wal-mart...I rarely go there anymore but my mom had found Isaiah these really great outfits for school that were only $8. So we got there, we got his school supplies and headed to the clothes department, and unfortunately we couldn't find the outfits I was looking for. We found one little shorts and shirt set, and Logan found a Buzz Lightyear shirt that is pretty funny, so we left and headed to Kohls. We found NOTHING there was not a single pair of shorts in the enitre boys department and most of the shirts were long sleeve. I was so freaking irritated. So then, we headed to to Target. We actually found several different shirts and a couple of shorts, and a new pair of shoes. We got him some new pajamas and Landry 2 new pajama dresses and some big girl princess panties. It is time to get hardcore about getting her potty trained. Of course at this time I had realized it was tax-free weekend, so I finally understood why ALL the Smalls were gone. There was a plethera of Mediums and Larges, and even some extra smalls...but apparently EVERY kid in the town is a Small! Afterwards we headed home after a very long day.
I am still on the mend with this whole mouth thing. For the most part, the pain is manageable with Ibuprofen and tylenol. I still have today and tomorrow left for the antibiotic. Each day the knot seems to go down a little bit more. As for now, you can't see it visibly, but the know can still be felt. The other big problem is that this has seemed to cause some sort of lock jaw thing. I can only open my mouth so far befor it it hurts so badly at the back of my jaw and into my ear. This makes eating difficult. I can only open my mouth so far, so getting food into my mouth can be tricky...then I have to be careful about chewing. Basically, I have only been able to eat about 2/3 of every meal, I am hoping this goes away soon. But I am supposed to call the dentist tomorrow to inform her of my progress and I will be sure to tell her about my jaw. Yawning is extremely painful, and unfortunately I seem to yawn ALOT! Funny how I never noticed before!
We will be going to meet the teacher on Thursday, and Logan will have his first day of school a week from tomorrow! We are all very excited!

Road to Recovery

So here's what happened. Yesterday, I went back to the dentist. I didn't even call ahead, I just went in with my face swollen to the bejeezus and said...I need someone to FIX this. I didn't get there until 1 because I had to wait for JR to get home. They took an x-ray..I told them the were crazy if the thouht I could bite down on anything. ONe lady held the piece in my mouth, while the other pushed the button. Then I went to a room where the dentist that did the root canal came in. She looked at the x-ray and said that the root canal looked beautiful, but she looked in my mouth and found the puss pocket and explained that even though she drilled the infection out of my tooth, there was still infection in the gum and around the tooth, so when she filled the root with the root canal, it trapped the rest of the infection, so it had no way to get out (apparently it was using my tooth as an escape) and therefore it pushed its way out of my gum and into my cheek. This is what caused the swelling - only it wasn't really swelling, it was infection - and my cheek was hard as a rock. So she put some numbing stuff on then gave me shots in order to numb it completely - I thought I was going to die. Then she lanced the puss pocket and pushed around to drain it - then the cut a small hole in the inside of my cheek and squeezed the hell out of my cheek..well it felt that way - basically she just applied pressure to the knot in order to drain the fluid. This went on for about 45 minutes. I wish I would have taken a picture right before I went in, my face was swollen from the bottom of my chin all the way up my ear...it was insane...under my eye was really puffy. She wrote me a prescription for a stronger antibiotic and another pain med. Apparently the pain med isn't stronger than the vicadin that I already have, but it works to alleviate pain and reduce the swelling. She also sent me home with a prescription mouth wash to keep the area clean...the stuff is NASTY...but, I will use it if it kills bacteria and can help get rid of the infection. What was crazy, was that even thought they numbed me, by the time I got home, I was balling because the pain was so bad...BUT my tongue was still numb. After the pain pill kicked in the pain started to subside, but again...my tongue was numb. I kept finding myself biting my tongue...so I put my mascara in between my teeth so I wouldn't bite it. (A few years ago my mom had dental work, and her bottom lip was numb...she didn't realize she was biting it and woke up the next day looking like bubba gump - so every since then I get scared). Anyway, the dentist said it would take about 48 hours for the swelling to go away...it has already started to go down, but my face is really sore - i guess from being stretched out so far. My tooth is no longer sensitive to touch...I can even bite down - I just have to do it carefully. My cheek, chin, and pretty much the whole right side of my face is very sensitve. But the good news is that I am on the road to recovery...the worst thing though would be if the infection doesn't completely go away and comes back in a few months...or over and over again, and I have to get the tooth pulled afterall - after paying money out the ass for the root canal, crown, and everything else. But I am going to think positive, and believe that the meds are going to work and I am going to feel better than ever in a few days...and once I get my permanent crown I am going to be able to chew on the right side of my mouth! Anyway, I am feeling much much better and can't wait to be 100% again!

more pain

At the end of Monday's blog I said that I was excited about getting my root canal. Rather I was excited to finally get rid of this pain and swelling of my face every 3-4 months. Well...the side of my face is HUGE, and I am in the same (if not more) pain I was last monday when the pain started. I can't so much as run my tongue across the tooth it is SO SENSITIVE. I can't eat anything...I am trying to eat soup, but I can't eat the noodles, the carrots, the celery, or the chicken...so basically I am just swallowing the broth. I can't drink anything that isn't at least room temperature. I heard from friends and read online that there should only be "MILD" pain...well this is FAR past mild, so I called the dentist. They said if it was still like this by Friday I needed to come in. I took another pain pill and took a nap while Landry and Logan napped. I woke up at 4 - I guess when the pain killer wore off...because I was in more pain, the side of my face was even more swollen, and I had a puss pocket on my gum under the bad tooth. So yeah - I would say the something is really wrong. I am still taking the antibiotics, so hopefully that will clear up - but I am not - CAN NOT pay for another root canal if this one didn't take. Seriously, this is the worst pain that I have ever been in. I have had two c-sections - neither one was as bad as this. Anyway - that is where I am, I guess I will let you know!

Catching up...

Time has not been on my side lately, and my Blogging has suffered - LOL! First, let me go back to the weekend before last. JR played in a golf tournament benifitting the Wimberley Athletic Booster Club. While he and the other 3 guys on his team played. Vanessa, the kids, and I sat in the shade and chatted. The kids had a blast. Logan played golf about half the time with his dad and the rest of the time he played in the golf cage - its kind of like a batting cage...just for golf. Landry spent most of her time following my dad around. "Papaw, Papaw, Papaw..." that is all she cared about! He took her for a ride on the gator. Even though he was busy making sure everything was running smoothly, he was so patient with her and spent every spare second holding her, playing airplane with her...doing pretty much whatever she wanted him to do. It seems that every man she is around crumbles. It is amazing just how quickly she can wrap them around her finger!
On Thursday, JR was able to come home so that I could go to the dentist. The pain was down to about a 4 which was really good because once I started having to bite down for X-rays the pain came back quickly. As I said before, I have not been very good about going to the dentist...the last time I went was when I was pregnant with Landry, so I was really scared that I would have a mouth FULL of cavities. Luckily, I have good dental hygiene because in all my 28 years I have only had 2 cavities. However, the one that was causing so much pain will result in a root canal. I go in tomorrow at 11 for a cleaning, then they will do the root canal, then a temporary crown. I will go back in a few weeks to get the other cavity and my permanent crown. My mom is coming to watch the kids and I am so thankful for the help. Tonight, I have Isabella and Isaiah staying the night and Logan is over the moon! This tooth thing wouldn't bother me as much if I hadn't apparently been scammed 5 years ago when I was told I had a root canal and paid $1200 for it only to find out on Thursday that the tooth has never had a root canal. I wish I still had the reciept or even the name of the dentist that did it - I would seriously sue the hell out of them...and I am pretty sure my insurance company could sue them as well for fraud!! This whole thing, cleaning, filling, root canal, crown is going to cost me $1000 and that is WITH insurance. Luckily, I qualified for credit and we are just paying it monthly for 4 months to avoid an interest...but still, $250 dollars a month is going to make things tight!
Friday, I got up early - we had to be at the football field in Wimberley at 8am. My dad was getting the football team pictures done and he wanted a photo of all his grandkids and him for the programs they sell at every game. I think they are actually going to turn out pretty well! 4 kids all looking at the camera is pretty amazing - even if they aren't all smiling! I can't wait to see them. Afterwards, I took the kids to my parents house so the kids could play. I had only had two hours of sleep due to my tooth, so I was pretty worn out. But, screaming children, talking to my mom, and 2 redbulls really helped out! LOL I headed home about 1 in order to get my house picked up for company that was coming later that evening.
Once company arrived, we got into a long game of poker - I was in it till the end and finally at 5:15am I said I was cashing out....I walked away with $60...considering I put in $20 and JR put in $40...we broke even! LOL
Saturday we went to the river - it was pretty awesome. My mom and the kids met up with us and all together we had a group of 14 adults and 4 kids. Mom and I pretty much stayed off to the side and chatted the whole float. we were out there for about 6 hours - and it was really relaxing. Well - it was for my mom and I....I wasn't in the best of moods because of my tooth and the lack of sleep - so I knew that some of the people on the float were going to annoy me! LOL My friend Nikki (not you Ward - a different one) that was floating with us started laughing at me at one point and told me I had very little tolerance for bull shit...she's right! I love her to death for being able to find humor in my not so proud moments! LOL The kids had the best time EVER. They played and played and played some more. It was a REALLY great day.
We ordered pizza on the way home for everyone, and once we got home everyone ate, showered, and got dressed for the evening. They all went in to New Braunfels, and I chose to stay home with the kids. JR was so worried I would be upset, my mom offered to watch the kids...but honestly - I just wanted to read a book and pray for sleep!
Sunday was a lazy day. JR slept until noon, then I took a 3 hour nap - when I got up, JR took a nap...then we all went to bed....Hahaha - it was a long weekend, but it was so much fun!
Now you are all caught up - tomorrow I go in for my root canal - and honestly, I couldn't be more excited. To think that this pain will be gone, and I wont have to worry about the swelling of the side of my face every 3-4 months! Woohoo!

Dizzy in my head

Monday morning I woke up with a terrible toothache. I didn't think much of it...it hurt, but, I went on about my day. When I went to bed that night, I woke up all night because of the pain, so I got very little sleep. Yesterday the pain got worse and worse, so I decided that without a doubt I had to go to the dentist. The problem was we changed our dental plan at the beginning of the year and I had no idea what to do, so I called JR and told him to get the info for me. THEN - my damn tooth got worse and worse and apparently JR didn't think he needed to rush to get the information. So, I didn't have it until he got home from work, but at that point, I had just taked a pain pill and I was actually nauseated because the pain was so bad. So I am waiting until 9 this morning and then I am calling to make an appointment. I barely slept last night. I dont think I have been in this kind of pain since I had Landry!
Other than that, we have some friends coming in to town this weekend - but unless I get some sleep - and my tooth fixed, I probably wont be a happy camper. Oh I have some other stuff to say... but I can't concentrate...maybe tomorrow I will tell you about the golf tournament and how much Landry loves her papaw!

So many things

OKay there is so much to say so I am just going to do it in list form!

#1 Vanessa had an interview in San Antonio yesterday for an assistant producer position on the morning show in SA. Kyle (her boyfriend) has accepted a job in San Antonio as well. So they will be apartment hunting and I couldn't be happier that they are moving closer to home... unfortunately the are wanting to find something in North SA...and I want them to be in south SA so they are closer to me! LOL Vanessa wont know for another 2-3 weeks if she will get the job or not, so please say some prayers for her.

#2 I was telling you in previous blogs about the psoriasis on my hands and feet and how lucky I was that it was only on my feet. Well - I spoke to soon. The palms of my hands and in between my fingers have blisters all over. It is extremely painful. It will be painful for at least a week - By Sunday the itching will start, which is terrible and annoying, but produces its own amount of pain. After a week, the skin will start to complete peel. My feet are still peeling - it is so disgusting. I have one of those foot scrapers, but honestly it seems to makes it worse...I was thinking of trying one of those pedi eggs for the infomercials?? All I know is I hate it!

#3ON the subject of skin...something else is going on..I think I may have adult acne. I have never had a problem with my skin in all my 28 years..and now all of a sudden I have been getting pimples constantly. I am thinking that instead of going to the dermatologist I am going to go to my PCP and see if they will do some blood work and theck my thyroid and some other testing. I would like to know what's going on with my body. I think the breakouts could be a hormonal thing. My skin gets so oily and it never has before..I guess it could be environmental...but I still want to get everythin checked. I want to see just how anemic I am. And see if she has any explanations for the changes my body is going through.

#4 Logan starts school in 24 days! I can't believe it. I guess I better take him clothes shopping! Woohoo...I just have to muster up the energy.

#5 JR is playing in a golf tournament tomorrow to raise money for the athletic department for my dad's school, so the kids and I will most likely head to wimberley to hang out with my mom and sister...I am really in no mood to hang out with my mom. My dad said it was miserable to be around her, and apparently she wrote Vanessa a text that sounded a LOT like a suicide note! That makes me really angry for many different reasons. But moving on...I am hoping that spending some time with my kids will brighten her up. I know she is going through a hard time so I want her to know how much we love her. It's just that she can make things very difficult - however; I am going to stay positive and believe that she will embrace us and perk up and have a good time!

That about it! Have a great weekend!

Hey there

Sorry guys, I have fallen in such a rut lately. It's funny that when I actually have time to use the computer, I have nothing to really say, and when I dont have time to sit and use it - I have a lot I want to share. Anywho, I dont have a lot of time but here is a little catch up...
On Saturday JR had to work, and then he went to play golf. We had made plans to go to the river with my cousin and his girlfriend, but they cancelled at the last minute saying it was too cloudy! Ughhhh! Whatever. HOnestly, I wasn't in the mood to go to the river, the last two weeks have been pretty trying for me. I honestly don't know how I have made it through. I am tired...SO VERY tired all day everyday, but of course I can't fall asleep. I have been taking a sleep aid which helps me fall asleep, but not stay asleep, and then I still wake up groggy. I also started taking some iron pills...any way, I digress... I wasn't in the mood to go to the river, but JR had already invited Keith (who was already playing golf with him), so they came back to the house ready to suit up. Logan said he didn't want to go, so I stayed home with him, and JR took Landry! Logan and I slept for about 4 hours...it was heaven. Later that evening when the boys got off the river they came back to the house and keith called a friend over. I wasn't in the mood, but I stayed up hanging out anyway. ughhh!
On Sunday, we all went to the river and had a great day. The kids always have a good time, but Landry is such a dare devil, she just freaks me out, so it's gotten to a point where it isn't as relaxing as I would like it to be. Plus, I always end up tied next to the kids - away from the other adults. I have told JR over and over again, that I dont mind being tied to the kids - in fact - I prefer it...but I hate being secluded...It doesn't matter though, he just keeps doing it - so whatever...it just irritates me because while we are floating, he will yell out asking what's wrong....ummm nothing! He asks why I'm not talking, and I tell him - because I dont want to yell at the top of lungs. Ughhh.
This week has been slow - I am still completely drained. I thouht I was getting better on Monday...but here I am wishing for more sleep. The sad thing is I am still getting about 7 hours of sleep, so there really shouldn't be any reason for me to be this exhausted. I think I will give it another week or two and then I am going to the doctor for some testing. I seriously get worn out walking to the bathroom. Also, I may up my intake of iron- I have a serious anemia problem and I really haven't consumed very much lately now that I think about it...so I will give it a try.
My little sister and her boyfriend Kyle are coming into town this weekend. JR, Keith, and Kyle are playing in a golf tournament this weekend although they still need one more player! YIKES! Their fourth dropped out on Monday, so now they are searching for another teammate! The tournament is for my dad's highschool, so while all the men are out swinging clubs...the women will be at home in the A/C. So I am looking for a chance to catch up with my sister, but it will be pretty hard since my mom will be there as well. Mom pretty much pulls Vanessa into her room and shuts everyone else out. It's weird, but she gets jealous if Vanessa gives anyone else attention...so part of me says I am just going to stay home...Why drive down there to be ignored? Most likely I will go - but as of now, I dont really want to. In fact all I want to do is go back to bed!!! Hope you all have a great week!
