A CRAZY NIGHT....

IT RAINED HERE ALL NIGHT LAST NIGHT AND ITS STILL RAINING A LITTLE BIT AROUND HERE RIGHT NOW. THE SUN IS TRYING TO PEEK OUT BUT I DOUBT IT WILL STAY OUT FOR LONG. ITS SUPPOSE TO RAIN ON AND OFF ALL DAY TODAY. NO HOPE FOR A PRETTY DAY..ITS JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!

I DONT KNOW HOW THINGS GET SO CRAZY AROUND HERE SOMETIMES. I GUESS ITS JUST HOW THE COOKIE CRUMBLES SOMETIMES..

AROUND 330 THIS MORNING I WAS FINALLY HEADING TO BED AFTER A DAY AND EVENING OF PACKING AND CLEANING; WHEN I REALIZED I DIDNT HAVE MY PHONE. I PLUG MY PHONE IN EVERY NIGHT WHEN I GO TO BED AND LAST NIGHT I COULDNT FIND IT...SO I FIGURED IT WAS IN SCOTTS TRUCK..~ WE WENT RUNNING AROUND AFTER HE GOT HOME FROM WORK SO IT WAS MOST LIKELY THERE~.. IT WAS THUNDERING AND RAINING HARD SO I GRABBED AN UMBRELLA AND TOOK THE DOG ON THE PORTCH WITH ME SO I WOULDNT BE ALONE OUTSIDE AT SUCH A LATE HOUR. I GOT TO THE TRUCK AND IT TOOK FOREVER FOR ME TO FIND MY PHONE. I ALSO TOOK SCOTTS PHONE OUT WITH ME SO I COULD CALL MINE..THAT WORKED BUT IT WAS UNDER THE SEAT OF THE TRUCK IN SUCH A HARD AREA TO GET TO..NOT TO MENTION, MY BOTTOM HALF OF MY BODY WAS HANGING OUT OF THE TRUCK AND I WAS GETTING SOAKED..I FINALLY GRAB MY PHONE AND HEAD BACK TO THE PORTCH..AS I WAS WALKING UP I NOTICED THE DOOR OPENED AND LITTLE GABBY SITTING THERE PEEKING OUT. SHE IS STILL TOO SCARED TO GO OUTSIDE ON HER OWN BUT GIOVANNI HAS NO FEAR ABOUT THE OUTDOORS. I KNEW IN THAT VERY SECOND THAT HE WAS OUT IN THE RAIN STORM... MY HEART JUST DROPPED.

I RAN INSIDE, DROPPED THE UMBRELLA AND PHONE AND GRABBED A FLASH LIGHT AND HEADED BACK OUTSIDE.. COOPER WAS ALL WET AND I KNEW HE HAD BEEN IN THE YARD WITH THE CAT WHILE I WAS HUNTING FOR THAT PHONE. SO I ASKED COOPER WHERE THE KITTY KITTY WAS AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, HE TOOK ME RIGHT TO GIOVANNI. HE RAN THROUGH THE YARD AND DOWN INTO A LITTLE SLOPE INBETWEEN 2 GURAGES BY AN ALLEY...THERE WAS GIOVANNI..JUST HANGING OUT IN THE RAIN SMELLING AROUND SOME BUSHES. I JUST GRABBED HIM UP AND BACK IN THE HOUSE WE ALL CAME. I AM SO GLAD HE IS A LAZY LAID BACK CAT THAT DOSENT RUN WHEN YOU APPROACH HIM.

I FINALLY GOT US ALL DRIED OFF AND THEN I GUESS HIS LATE TRIP OUTSIDE INTO THE COLD RAIN BECAUSE I WALKED INTO THE LIVING ROOM AND HE WAS ALL CURLED UP ALSEEP...

I KNOW YOU CANT TELL BECAUSE I DRIED HIM OFF REALLY WELL, BUT HE IS STILL WET IN THIS PICTURE. I GUESS IT REALLY WORE HIM OUT TO BE OUT IN THE RAIN. I AM TELLING YOU.. I WAS MORE WET AND MORE TIRED! IT WAS A CRAZY TIME OF THE NIGHT..I DIDNT EVEN WAKE BABY UP.. I WAS IN TO BIG OF A HURRY TO GO UPSTAIRS AND WAKE HIM. I AM SURE HE WOULD HAVE WOKE UP AND HELPED ME LOOK FOR GIOVANNI, BUT THERE WAS NO TIME!

THEN AROUND 10 MY KIDS STARTED CALLING..ONCE I TOOK THE FIRST PHONE CALL AND REALIZED THAT THEY BOTH WERE FINE, I WENT BACK TO SLEEP..BUT..THEY CALLED OVER AND OVER LEAVING ME A TOTAL OF 7 VOICE MAILS THIS MORNING. IT WAS JACKSON WHO WAS CALLING OVER AND OVER BUT BRITTANY WAS YELLING IN THE BACKGROUND TELLING JACKSON THINGS SHE WANTED HIM TO SAY.. THEY WERE HAVING A GREAT TIME PLAYING ON THE PHONE WAKING MOMMY UP THIS MORNING.

SOOO, I SLEPT IN TILL AROUND 1 TODAY. I AM STILL SITTING AROUND IN MY PJS DEBATING IF I AM GETTING ANOTHER CUP OF COFFEE OR JUST HEADING TO THE SHOWER. I DONT MIND THE LATE START..ITS THE WEEKEND AND ALL I HAVE PLANNED IS DOING LAUNDRY AND GETTING MORE THINGS PACKED UP. SCOTT WORKS ONLY TILL 4 SO I WILL BE HANGING OUT WITH HIM IN ABOUT AN HR AND A HALF..READY FOR THAT TIME TO COME! I MISS HIM!

COFFEE AND SHOWER..

TALK TO YOU SOON.
