I am doing terrible
I am so not doing well at keeping up with my blog. The truth is, I am too damn busy. The saddest part is that I am not even busy doing something fun! Ughhh. It's just too hard to try to get a few minutes of time to blog, with the three kids and dog. So, here is what has been going on. Thursday (6-21) we went to dinner with my parents in San Marcos. It was a belated birthday dinner since they were out of town - my mom was in Galveston with my niece and nephew, my dad was in Eagle Pass for a coaching convention. Anyway, Landry was freaking out and wanted to sit on my lap. Then she had to pee, so I stood up and dropped my phone...the screen is now shattered - hmmm...so much for gorilla glass. luckily I have insurance, so I will only have to pay about $100 to get it fixed. On Friday, I went to get lunch, and was on my way back home. I rarely leave the house in the day...it's kinda of a hassle to get the kids loaded and unloaded, but also, I can't fit all three car seats in the car. So, I usually put Logan in the middle with just a seat belt. I seriously hate doing this, but as I said, I rarely leave the house...but we needed food. So, I am about two miles from the house when I get pulled over! SHIT! I was pulled over because when I stopped at the light, I only stopped for 2 seconds and a complete stop is defined as a 3 second stop. Yes, this is literally what the cop told me. Then he saw Logan, so I got a ticket for an unsecured child, I explained why I did what I did, he said that I needed to put him in his booster in the front seat. I thought that what completely unsafe, but apparently I am wrong. Seriously, there are so many articles and ideas of what is safe and what isn't, it's really hard to keep up. Then he decided to check the other carseats...Mark's was not latched properly...AWESOME so I got a ticket for that as well. FANTASTIC! Funny thing is, he didn't even fix it, or tell me why it wasn't latched properly...I checked it, it looked fine to me, so I took pictures, but you can't really see the hook attached...still I can't figure out what was wrong with it. Also, I got a ticket for driving on a suspended license...WHAT? Seriously, I got a tickett for this in Novemeber, I did what I was told, and got the special insurance for me to drive...apparently I need a special license as well. WTF??? I specifically asked these questions, I specifically asked the DPS what I needed and did what they told me. SO frustrated. So, we are going to hire a traffic attorney to help me out with all this. Hopefully he can get the stop and one of the unsecured child tickets dismissed, and hopefully the license thing too, but I doubt it. Either way, he can help me get exactly what I need in order to drive.
Saturday we finally took the kids to Sea World!!! SO MUCH FUN! I will try to write more about this tomorrow...but just this shourt amount has taken me nearly two hours...seriously, I have to constantly stop to take care of one of the kids or the dog. I will say that we were there for 9 hours, the kids were awesome, I saved a child's life (YAY ME) and we are going back this weekend. I am glad we have the season tickets...we dont have to spend much money at the park - and since I am about to pay money out the wazoo for all the tickets and a lawyer, I can't afford to spend hardly any money! Ughhh

Wait. What did you do to save a child's life?? Did I miss that post somewhere??
Ha, I totally forgot to explain how I saved the child...so here it goes. JR took Logan to wait in line to go down a water slide. Landry and I were in a the pool, waiting for them to come down the slide. As I was walking through, this little boy was going under. He had a life jacket on, but was on his back and was panicking...the water kept going over his face and head and he was swallowing it. My dumb butt actually looked around first, when I saw no one was running for him I scooped him up. So, I was carrying Landry and this little boy. He was probably close to 2??? Anyway, so I walked around the pool with him asking everyone if they knew who he was...no one knew. I took him to the life guard station, we waited for about 10 minutes before he called for security. Then we waited another 10 minutes for the security guy to get there. He started walking around the little boy, and a few minutes later this woman came running through the water, we pointed out where her son was and she flew over there. Everyone was telling her I saved her kid, and when she didn't really say anything, they were all commenting that she could have at least said thank you. I told them I understood. If I lost my kid, I wouldn't really care who did what, I would only care about getting my arms around my baby...thank you's can come later. She did end up saying thank you when we passed them later. Turns out, the mom went to go ride a water slide and left the little boy with his dad...the dad thought the little boy went with his mom, so the little boy wandered out into the water...and luckily I saw him! So....that's how I saved a little boy!
