High School Chums, Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!! Haven't packed yet and have done little to prepare for our lunch tomorrow, but had my first cranberry and vodka, not too bad. I have these wonderful angels that visit me every once in awhile, Tom, Cathy and Kim, it must be a holiday!!

They introduce me to a new drink every once in awhile and we are right back where we started from 2o something years ago. It was good to talk and laugh. I miss the unconditional companionship!!!

Having lunch with the fam at noon tomorrow and then the boys and I are off to Guymon. Poor Barry has to work, the boys just couldn't give up hunting and being with their beloved cousins. Hoping for a safe trip, and a thankful loving time with the parents and my sister and her family. Bret and his family will not be able to make it, but hopefully they will all be here in Larned for Christmas!!

I am so very thankful this Thanksgiving! Thankful for more than you can know!!

This is the time of year I hear so many broken hearted parents that can't be with their kids for so many reasons, for some it is a death, for some it is just distance, for some it is just that they have to share holidays with the in laws and then the very saddest stories of all, the one's who make the choice to stay away from their families for reasons that they will so definitely regret someday!! Let me tell you we are all dysfunctional in ways, it is time for people to quit letting things come between them and loved ones. So lets all get together and be THANKFUL for the bounty the Lord has given us!!

I will write next week and let you know if the @#*^ hits the fan in Guymon!! Ha Ha

For God's sake........................ Love ya and see ya later!!

And by the way, we haven't seen Archie for 3 weeks, boo hoo !!!!

Once again thank GODDDDD I have a sense of humor, cause I really just want to cry!

Ok, my loved one's or the one's just looking for entertainment, you will never believe this crap! I drank Barry's spit, skoal ya know, ohhhhhh yessssss I did! When am I going to learn to not drink out of cups unless it has not left my sight!! I heaved over the sink for a good 5 minutes. Those of you that know me or have read my birthday post know that I have a weak bladder, do the math people, u-g-l-y. You know, can I just be dignified somewhat? Let me know, do you think people just act dignified and just don't share this nonsense with other people, or am I really that big of a freak show. I gotta tell ya, I don't ponder too long on this crap or it is the crying game.

It was Sam's birthday and I forgot the camera at his first basketball game! So next week I am Bobby Crawford minus the tight white lace up speedo. Pictures will be posted! I will have to tell you that the B team is quite impressive. I was so pleased with the growth and skill level progress. They won big!! It is going to be an enjoyable season, keepin the faith baby!!!

We also found out that our court date has been dismissed! Thank You so much Lord! I have to tell you, I did not want to testify in court or even have to face the culprit, they settled out on some plea, we should get a letter in the mail to explain. We know that he did confess to criminal trespass in our home at 4am in the morning. I have a feeling that they dropped the stalking because it was the felony. All I know is, lets hope it is over! The kids have not been harassed since he was arrested, thank goodness. Lets just hope the message is crystal clear!

I am going to bed, good to talk............

What a Birthday!!

OMG! I am sick!! I hate to be sick, I am never sick and on my birthday, crap! I guess it is not like we ever do anything on my birthday anyway but I hit rock bottom today I sware.

I decide that I can muster enough strenghth to go eat at Applebee's. So off we go to Great Bend. We get there and before the lady can bring my water, the coughing fit begins, oh boy, off to the bathroom I go. Ribs aching and eyes watering and of corse pant wetting! So I get my self undercontrol and make it through supper and I am fading fast. We finish our meal and all seems to be ok, I drank alot of water and coffee! Kept the tickle in my throat under control. After we finish we head to Walmart to return something and get cough drops. As I am walking around Walmart in a daze I realize that I have just hit rock bottom. I look down and I have barbeque sauce on my white shirt along with a crumb, I zip up my jacket just to notice that my coffee has spilt all down my front, I go to the bathroom and see that my mascara is running from my coughing fit, and I have wet pants, and its my birthaday!! The best birthday present I could have given myself would have been to stay home and I would have 80.00$ and a lot more respect for myself. Tomorrow will be a better day and thank you God for the sense of humor you gave me!! The highlight of the day was I had around 45 people wish me a Happy Birthday!
And my sweet boys actually got me a card and a present. Wow, I am loved!!! Despite it all~~
