Woo Hoo

I met Ford's brother's lady friend. You know the co worker. The one that was hanging out in the carport drinking beer the other night. It still unnerves me. Is that even a word? She didn't have much to say. And as always, I had my wall up. Both Fords seem rather relaxed around her. That made me feel uncomfortable. That's ok. In two weeks she will be on my turf when we go to the races. My space and friends. I don't even know why I feel so uncomfortable about the whole thing other than the fact that, I don't know her and my husband talks about her. I just need to let it go at this point.
On a side note, we went to a debate last night. WOW! The daggers were out. I think, that is enough said on that. I don't want it to come back and bite me or someone else in the butt. Maybe, later.
FYI in the past 9 weeks I have lost 24 pounds. I am jazzed. I was so pissed yesterday, why? I couldn't find any pants that fit or shirts. Time to go shopping. Not, yet. I would like to lose 15 more pounds. Then shopping.

Do I have a right to be mad?

That's my question I keep asking myself. Do I have a right to be mad? About a month ago, Ford got off work early. Ok. A day that they didn't have to work until that morning. They had already put in 4 12 hour days. Friday was a day off and that meant a 3 day weekend. Anyways, off track here. They all hung around the yard and had drank beer. By all, that also included the female truck driver (whom, I never met and he had lunch with one day). Ok, fine. Whatever. I don't mind that he has beer, stays late. He works hard. What I do mind is the fact of no phone call. Got over that. Done.
Ford's brother has been now seeing female truck driver. They came over to the house on Sunday. But guess what? I didn't know she was with him. I had seen brother was here. I was inside getting stuff ready for this week. Going about my business. They sat out in the carport for 1 1/2 hr chit chatting and having beer. What the hell!!! They left when, I told the kids to come in and start getting their stuff lined out for school this week. That's when one of the boys told me F's brothers girlfriend was out there. What the hell again!!!
I am pissed. Not just plain pissed, fire breathing pissed. So, I asked Ford about. What I can't meet brothers girlfriend? Are you embassared by me? His words "No, I just didn't think about it" Your wife is inside getting everyone's stuff ready for the week, and you just forgot? Our house, and you don't think about your wife being inside? He told me to let it be. To forget it. No! Not on your life buddy. I want answers.
On a side note, yesterday I woke up with an earache. Ford gets off work early and lets me know that brother and gfriend are coming over to get bikes. They get here and he wants me to meet her. Go to hell dude. I barely, got out of bed yesterday, because of said earache. I am in sweats and my hair is matted to my head, cotton in my ear, and dragon breath. Not happening, but I am the one making it an issue.
Yah, maybe, I should have meet her. But come on, it is another women that my husband hangs with and I need to look my best. Right?
I tried to ask him how he would feel if "I had a male come over, hang out in the kitchen, drink some wine and do some cooking?" It would be ok, why? Because, any male that would want to do that is gay! and he has nothing to worry about. Ok! It's your story and I am sticking you to it. Let's find out!
But, the real question is, do I have a right to be mad? I think I do but he tells me to get over it.

Time flys when we are having fun. Right?

I can not believe how time has gotten away from me. Five weeks with no blogging. It hasn't been because, I didn't want to, it has been because we have been so busy. October, is coming around the corner and I am not sure where the year has gone.

Becca had her 14th birthday. I took her shopping and just last week she had a sleep over with her friends. It was the first home football game. We live 2 blocks from the field so it's nice when they all hang out after school and walk to the game. The fun part began, when we had to get them all to the dance, which is located at the high school. The football field is close to where the old high school was until a earth quake knocked it down about 15 years ago. Her first real high school dance. She loved it and is loving high school.
She still hangs out with her friends from jr high but has made new ones, some are upper classmen, which play the same sports as she does. Yep, she is my little social butterfly lately. Now only if I could make her clean her room.

Britt is in her last year of high school. Each day it changes on what she wants to do when school is out. I think she is looking towords Air force. You go girl. She is a leader and I think the service would be good for her. She is involved with ASB at school and is busy every night of the week between school and work.
She got her senior pictures done two weeks ago. Man, has my little girl grown up. Some of them look just like me, some of them look just like Becca, some I can see her dad, and some look just like the sweet little girl I had 17 years ago. My time flys.

The boys, glad they are back in school. If they are not busy, they are under feet. They just turned 8. WOW! They are really coming into their own. They each have different friends, differnt habits. They even like to play different spots in soccer. Yes, they play soccer. That is only because, they can't play football until 3rd grade. Speaking of football. I got a call from my ex brother in law. He has 3 boys. 2 are the same age as the girls. They youngest 2 were playing football out in our area. They wanted us to come and watch. I had a blast. I love hanging out with him. I miss the old times so much. I love my life now but miss him and the boys. Anyways, one of my newphews, is 3 months younger than Becca, but they could be twins. They are built the same way, same face shape, hair color, both good at sports, and a grin that will have you wondering what they are up to.
So much more is going on and I will have to share more later. I need to get back into a routine. Take care.

Tid Bits

Things here have been so crazy. Brittani made it home safe and sound. We all went to the airport. I don't know who cried more me or her. It was just a long time away from her with out being able to call her every day. Would have done something different. Oh well.
I seem to have my 6 year old nephew every day now. My brother has finally gotten temp custady him. The best thing for him.
The boys start soccer practice next week. Need to find cleats and shin guards. I can't believe how fast the summer has gone. Both girls will be in high school. Just shaking my head.
The girls went and saw their dad's family last week. They had not seen the girls in almost 2 yrs. I want to post a whole entry about this later. Just a big mess. sigh.
Hopefully, I will have time tonight. We are off to the beach for the day tomorrow. They say 99 in the valley tomorrow. Too hot for me.

Roller Coaster Ride

That is how the past two weeks have been. We have just been so busy. Becca has been home this week. Boy, did the boys miss her. I missed her too. It is so great to have her home. Britt will be home tomorrow. Whew. It has been a long three weeks. I haven't heard her voice for over two weeks. I have talked to her via email twice and a text. I don't know what I will do when she moves out or goes into the service?!
Not much else other than my brother's ex wife shit but, that's not my problem and not really wanting to get into other than wacked out.

I miss her

Because, I miss her sweet smile, giggle, and her glem in her eyes when she tells me something she enjoys.

I got a phone call late Sunday night/Monday morning at 1:00 am. "My atm card won't work! I can't get any money out" I had this panic go through my body what's wrong when the phone rang. The last thing I was worried about was Britt. My step dad is out of the country also. My brother just went thru a nasty marriage. My mother in law has cancer. Britt was the last thing on my mind. I thought we had everything covered when she left. We did everything they told us.
I camly told her it would have to wait until Monday morning. But it is Monday morning and I have no money. I can't do anything until the bank opens in 9 hours. Oh yah, I could see her smile. The glem in her eyes.
I went to the bank. They forgot to send the email to the card office. I left 45 minutes later, why so long. I wanted to make sure, it was taken care of. I was not leaving until I knew my daughter had money. Got home and sent her an email. Looks like it's ago. I was wrong so wrong. Bank calls yesterday. She keeps on trying to access checking, well they don't give you a choice. And to top it off you can NOT access saving accounts. Why didn't the bank know this? Hello! I am hoping the problem is solved. I opened a checking account and attached her bank card to it. So, it looks like it is ago for her to have money. Hopefully, tonight or tomorrow morning. Otherwise, I can try and Western Union her some money. Hello..........she is basically backpacking thru Europe.
I hope to know that she has gotten money soon. Time to go check the bank and find out. Then, I will know she is smiling.

Phone Call

I got a 3 minute phone call from Britt. We had a bad signal on my cell phone going thru the mountains on our we to the beach.
She is having a blast and misses everyone. She said Italy was dirty and stinky. (I guess, they are on a garbage strike.) She is sick of pasta and bread. Oh my, favorite. She is now in France. They went to the beach yesterday. Tomorrow, she will be staying with a family. I hope I will have another phone call.
I will update more about our weekend later.
