Rambling on.......
I wasn't kidding when I said I was tired on Friday. I went to bed as soon as I posted that comment and I slept 26 and a half hours before getting up.
It's been a weird week. We had a vehicle go airborne and hit the sign/gate to the hospital. the car was almost cut in half and that was one big old paperwork mess to deal with. One guy was ejected from the car- the driver broke both his legs. Both were lucky to be alive. It did me no good whatsoever to have to go out there and see that mess and deal with that so soon after Clays accident.
I went to the cemetary today, too. They got Clays headstone in place. It was a really bad idea for me to go there alone. I COMPLETELY lost it. I'm glad no one was visiting at the time, they would have probally called the guys with the straight-jackets had they been. I howled like a wolf on the night of a full moon. And don't apologize for it at all. I needed to cry without abandon- and I did.
I think for Paulius' Birthday we are going to go on a weekend trip somewhere. Maybe Gatlinburg. Maybe somewhere closer. But somewhere not home. We deserve a bit of a get-away. We need it.
I made a pineapple-coconut cake today. The holidays are approaching fast and I have been baking more than usual this past month. Made chocolate oatmeal cookies. Made brownies. Made this cake. Pauli baked an apple pie. And I got the stuff to make Marshmallow Krispie treats too. YUM! I usually make three kinds of those as well- Plain ones, Fruity ones, and Chocolate ones!
Got the little ones Christmas all done. Got scrapbooks for putting some photos in for the kids. I just have to actually get them put together in the next few weeks. I have about half of the adult kids other stuff and our parents to get tho. Paulius wanted a subscription to WoW for his Christmas gift- so I suppose HIS is done as well. I know what I am getting Paulius' Dad- know what I am going to get my mom as well.
I try and get my kids 3 gifts for Christmas. One a sensible gift, One a FUN gift, and the last a sentimental gift.
Yeah, I know I'm kinda rambling. I do that sometimes.
It's one of those kinda days...weeks...months.....years.

Picture Book and a VERY Odd Story.......
I had the ODDEST dream.
Paulius and I had moved into our new house and guess who our new neighbors just happened to be?
Ozzy and Mrs.Ozzy and the Ozzlettes!!! AND they came over for dinner. They brought Ozzys very best friend who just happened to be the tall dark haired guy from the Drew Carey Show and Paulius cooked us all burnt bacon for dinner, which I thought was really odd because he can cook like a mo-fo.
Yeah- that was ALL he cooked.
Then Mrs. Ozzy told me there was a secret room to the house that nobody knew about-and took me into the back hallway and moved a secret panel and it was a closet the size of a football field. I wasreally happy cause that's where I was going to put all my Christmas decorations for storage!
Then the doorbell rang and it was Jacoby from the MTV show SCARRED and he wanted the kids to come out and skate with him and Ozzy and Paulius beat the crap out of him and then called his mom to come get him and take him to the hospital.
Mrs. Ozzy and I thought it was hilarious. Our kids certainly weren't going to go ANYWHERE with Jacoby.
Then Ozzys friend came in with Pizza and I woke up.
And THAT'S what I get for going to bed on an empty stomach and sleeping for more than 4 hours.

A Bitch....and A Bitch.
First of all....is it too much to ask that when ya download something onto the computer you KNOW I might be interested in seeing or reading, that you leave it on there for me?????? It's REALLY annoying to see something on there and go "Owww!! " and then it be a missing shortcut.
Dammit!!
Also, Mother Nature gave us a nice taste of cool weather a couple of weeks ago and then turned it back to 90 again this past week and this week too.
Little hint MAMA NATURE....
IT'S FREAKING MID OCTOBER!!!!!!!! Cool weather is overdue!!!
Let's get it started!!!!

It's A.............................
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get ready to welcome Lil' Clay into the world in February.
And I am VERY happy about it!!!!
He weighs 12 ounces at the moment and was immensely proud to display his boyhood....he obviously didn't want anyone to be buying pink ANYTHING for him.
He also didn't mind showing his displeasure at being poked and prodded by the Sonogram technician. Such a frown on that sweet little face!!
I can't wait!!!!

Two Things..........
Okay, so first of all...........
I go in the morning at 8AM to meet my daughter-in-law, Kathy, and her mom at her Obstetricians office for her sonogram to find out the sex of the baby.........if it co-operates, that is. Sometimes they can't get the positioning right to find out.
I hope they do one of those 3-D sonograms for us.
Yeah- I'll Post the results as soon as I get back home!!!
You KNOW I will.
Second......................
If you wanna lose 50 pounds in 12 months, eat less and exercise more.
If you wanna lose 50 pounds in 12 minutes, play poker in England.
My doctor gave me that advice a few years ago.........which may explain WHY he's no longer my doctor.
Hahahahahahahahhahaha!!!
KIDDING!!!

Bits & Bobs.......
Wow, this week is off to a booming start.....Starting on Saturday this past weekend!!!
I worked 8 hours on Saturday- my normal day off, and last night I pulled 12 hours, too.
Yesterday morning I went to see my daughter who lives 35 miles away and we spent a few quality hours talking and looking at photos, and we even squeezed in an hour of retail therapy as well before I had to come back home to get ready to go to work.
This morning I came home and slept and then got up and went and ran an errand for my daughter so she wouldn't have to get off work and make the 70 mile round trip this evening during rush hour traffic. I also went and dropped off a birthday card to my Daughter-in-law Marie who turned 24 today!! (HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE!!!) and we had a lovely quiet visit as well, since Devon was at school and Nicholas was napping.
And I volunteered to cook a turkey roast with dressing and rice for dinner today before I go back to work...well, that is IF the thing is thawed enough to cook by 6 this evening -if not it'll be eggs and toast.
Tomorrow I have to be at Search and Seizure Training Class- and after that I go to a re-training demo on Flexi-cuffs to be re-certified. Then I can come home and sleep a few hours til I have to get up and run OUR errands.
Then on Wednesday, I get to meet my Daughter-in-law Kathy and her mom at her doctors office for her Sonogram to see what the sex of the new baby is!!!!!
****(I think I am finally reaching the second stage of grief- the mad at "god" stage......when I said I would gladly give up something I really really really loved for a grand-daughter...I meant CHOCOLATE-and I'm very sure I made that PERFECTLY clear-but I think maybe god wasn't listening closely....I did NOT mean my son. There's a couple lessons to be learned from this....1)be careful what you ask for...it may not be what you really want, and also-2) don't try to bargain with a higher power- it can only end up in heartache.)*********
Thursday I bring my son to his monthly meeting in Pickens before I come home to sleep.
Then this weekend, I fully plan to clean my house and put things in order for the holidays. As well, I plan to do a bit more Christmas shopping. I have everything planned in my mind so it should be just a few hours of actual shopping to get it all done. I'm spreading it out over the next two months tho- so I should have it all done by before Thanksgiving Day.
Oh- and I also went to East Coast Tattoos and talked with an artist about the tat I wanna get. I can see me getting that tat about the first of February- or maybe after my Birthday....Its gonna cost me just under 200 for it in Black and Grey...and in Color will be about 300. Maybe less....
I told him I'll be back in about 4 months.
Thank goodness that the days and nights are getting cooler. I can actually sleep and feel rested when I wake up.
I LOVE autumn.
Best time of the year if you ask me....
And, YES, my dearest children, We will be having Chili Day very soon. I promise. I may not even wait til the first frost this year...we need to be together sooner than that I think.
Leonard the cat has NOT re-appeared as yet. It's been two weeks now and I think he has probably followed the trail of Malibu and Padme and gone and found another family that suited his needs better.
There is always the chance one of them will come home, someday- and if I had to hope for one to come back, I think I would have to choose it to be Padme- it was the kitty Clay gave us.
I don't foresee it actually happening tho. Malibu has been gone for over two years......Padme for over a year and now Leonard for two weeks.
I Know I said I wasn't going to guess what the new baby is going to be....but I've been guessing babies sex for the parents since I was 7.....and only gotten three wrong. So I am going to go ahead and hazard a guess on my newest addition as well.
Keep in mind I will be joyous with either a boy or a girl......Clay wanted to be the one to give me my Granddaughter that I have wanted for so long and it will be wonderful if that happens(the baby is due on Feb 24th as well- the day before MY birthday!!)...but I think it is a boy. And that will be equally as wondrous because it will be a little Clay.
Whatever the baby is- it will be well loved and cherished.
Well, that's about all I think.............for now.
