SLEEPY TIMES

WELL I GUESS ITS MONDAY ALREADY. ONLY 33 MINUTES INTO A NEW DAY. ITS AMAZING HOW FAST TIME MOVES ON. THIS WEEKEND WENT BY IN A FLASH. IT SEEMED LIKE A LOT OF WORK, BUT LOOKING BACK ON IT NOW, IT WAS A GREAT TIME. I REALLY ENJOY SCOTT'S DAUGHTER. I LIKE THAT SHE HAS A GREAT SMILE AND SHE REALLY SEEMS TO HAVE HER HEAD ON HER SHOULDERS. SHE THINKS THINGS THROUGH BEFORE SAYING THEM. PRETTY GOOD FOR A 20 YEAR OLD. ANYWAY, I AM HAPPY THAT WE GOT TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH THEM. I DO THINK HOWEVER, SCOTT AND I WORE OUR SELVES OUT. I CANT BELIEVE HOW QUICKLY WE BOTH BECOME TIRED. I WAS PRETTY WORE OUT TONIGHT. WE PULLED THE COUCH BED OUT TO LAY DOWNSTAIRS AND WATCH A MOVIE..I WAS ASLEEP IN MINUTES. BABY KEPT WAKING ME UP TO WATCH THE MOVIE..I STARTED TO GET UPSET! LOL..MY LATE NIGHT NAP LASTED FOR ABOUT AN HR AND NOW INSTEAD OF SLEEPING I AM ON HERE BLOGGING TO ALL OF YOU!

I GOT A DISTURBING PHONE CALL TONIGHT. MY 7 SON WAS ACTING UP WITH ANOTHER BOY AND ENDED UP GETTING THE POLICE CALLED ON THEM. I AM NOT REALLY GOING TO GO INTO THE DETAILS BUT MY EX HUSBAND ~ ART ~ FLIPPED OUT. BUT REALLY NOT ON JACKSON BUT ON THE OTHER BOY AND HIS FAMILY. MY EX HUSBAND WAS SPITTING NAILS. HE WENT TO DISCUSS THE ISSUES WITH THE OTHER FAMILY AND THEY REFUSED TO BELIEVE THEIR SON WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT THE POLICEMAN SAW. THEY WANTED MORE PROOF. I ACTUALLY KNOW THE FAMILY HE IS TALKING ABOUT AND THEY ARE A LITTLE STRANGE. BUT NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT WAS A HARD DAY FOR JACKSON AND ART. I CANT BELIEVE MY 7 YR OLD HAD TO TALK TO THE POLICE. I GUESS THEY PULLED UP AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR WENT TO THE KIDS AND WANTED THEIR INFORMATION. JACKSON TOLD THEM HIS NAME, PHONE AND BIRTHDAY BUT TOLD THE OFFICERS HE DIDN'T KNOW HIS ADDRESS..RIGHT..THEN LITTLE BRITTANY WALKED UP AND LEAD THEM TO THE HOUSE TO TALK TO ART. HE IS WAY TO YOUNG FOR THE POLICE TO BE KNOCKING AT THE DOOR. REALLY I AM NOT MAKING EXCUSES BUT JACKSON WAS MORE OF A VICTIM MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE. MY EX HUSBAND INSISTED THAT A POLICE REPORT BE MADE AND HE IS TALKING TO THE SCHOOL TOMORROW/TODAY ABOUT THIS SITUATION. I AM GLAD HE TOOK IT SERIOUSLY AND IS MAKING AN EFFORT AT FIXING THE PROBLEM. I JUST HATE IT WHEN I GET A CALL AND THE OTHER PERSON ON THE OTHER END ASK IF I AM SITTING DOWN....THAT STATEMENT ALWAYS COMES WITH BAD NEWS. I WONDER WHY PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK THAT? ITS NOT LIKE I AM GOING TO PASS OUT OR ANYTHING BUT I GUESS HE WAS TRYING TO PREPARE ME IN ADVANCE FOR THE NEWS. I ALSO THINK HE WAS EXPECTING ME TO BE MORE UPSET THAN I WAS...I AM STILL PROCESSING ALL THE INFORMATION..HOWEVER, I DID HAVE A TALK WITH JACKSON TONIGHT. IT WAS LIKE PULLING TEETH TO GET HIM TO TALK TO ME ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED..I ALWAYS TELL THE KIDS THAT WE HAVE NO SECRETS..WE TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING, NO MATTER HOW BAD IT IS. SO AFTER A FEW MINUTES HE STARTED TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND HE WAS SORRY. IT MAKES MY HEART MELT TO HEAR HIS LITTLE VOICE. BUT HOPEFULLY THE COMING DAYS ARE BETTER FOR HIM..AND HE IS NO LONGER ALLOWED TO PLAY WITH THAT LITTLE BOY AGAIN.. I THINK ITS A TOUGH DECISION BEING THE KID LIVES DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM ART AND THE KIDS, BUT IT WAS THE RIGHT DECISION.

THESE ARE THE TIMES I WISH MY MOM WAS AROUND AND TALKING TO ME. SHE IS STILL HELL BENT ON BEING MAD BUT SHE HAS RECENTLY SENT A FEW TEXT MESSAGES SO MAYBE THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER. I MISS HER..I KNOW SHE IS NOT ALWAYS BALANCED BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT I WOULD RATHER BE WITH HER THAN WITHOUT HER. WHEN I HAVE CONCERNS OR ISSUES WITH FAMILY AND LIFE IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE HER TO TALK TO. BUT EVEN IF SHE IS GONE, I STILL HAVE LOTS OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS I CAN TALK TO. ABOVE ALL I HAVE BABY TO TALK TO.

TOMORROW/TODAY I HAVE A LOT TO GET DONE AROUND THE HOUSE. I AM MAINLY GOING TO TRY TO CATCH UP ON LAUNDRY. ITS A LATE NIGHT FOR SCOTT SO I SHOULD HAVE PLENTY OF TIME. I NEVER START OUT GOING TOO FAST ON MONDAY. ITS ALWAYS KINDA NICE SLEEPING IN AND ENJOYING MY OWN SCHEDULE FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE DAY. NOTHING IS BETTER THAN A QUITE START TO THE DAY WITH A GREAT CUP OF COFFEE AND SOME "ME" TIME..I KNOW THAT SOUNDS CRAZY BEING I DON'T WORK. A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD ASSUME I HAVE A LOT OF "ME" TIME BUT MOST DAYS I SPEND MY TIME DOING THINGS FOR OTHERS ~ SCOTT, FAMILY, ANIMALS, FRIENDS, ETC.~ AND WHILE I LOVE MAKING OTHERS HAPPY, ITS ALWAYS NICE MAKING MYSELF HAPPY TOO.

BEEN WORKING ON A FAMILY TREE TOO. ITS FUNNY BECAUSE I JUST FOUND OUT THAT SCOTT'S SISTER IS ALSO WORKING ON A FAMILY TREE. ITS A LOT OF WORK TRYING TO GET IT ALL FIGURED OUT. I HAVE A HUGE FAMILY THERE IS A LOT OF WORK AND RESEARCH GOING INTO IT. I AM HOPING TO HAVE IT DONE ON SOMETIME THIS YEAR. I AM PLANNING ON HAVING IT SENT OFF TO BE COPIED IN CALLIGRAPHY AND FRAMED TO HANG IN OUR LIVING ROOM. I ALSO HAVE STARTED TO WORK ON A TREASURE MAP THAT I WANT TO DO BUT ITS SUPER HARD.. I WANT BABY AND ME TO PUT SOME ITEMS IN A CONTAINER, BURY IT AND THEN MAKE A BIG MAGICAL MAP WITH THE LITTLE FOOTPRINTS TO OUR TREASURE. ITS A LOT OF WORK..AND ALSO HAVE TO SEND THAT OFF TO BE COPIED AND FRAMED. THAT ONE WILL HAVE TO HANG IN THE BEDROOM TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM GOING TO OUR TREASURE! LOL..JUST A COUPLE OF PROJECTS I AM TRYING TO COMPLETE FOR 2010. LETS JUST HOPE I CAN GET IT ALL DONE!

HOPE MOST OF MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY ARE SOUND ASLEEP RESTING FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK. HOPEFULLY BEFORE LONG, I CAN BE SLEEPING TOO. TALK TO YOU GUYS TOMORROW.

TIME TO DREAM A LITTLE DREAM. SENDING LOTS OF LOVE AND SMILES OUT TO EVERYONE. HAVE A BLESSED DAY TODAY.

I KNOW EVERYONE HATES MONDAYS BUT TRY TO MAKE THE BEST OUT OF THE DAY. TOMORROW IS NEVER TO PROMISED TO ANY OF US.
