But seriously, I really haven't .. I just haven't had the time for you.. so it's Neglect not Ignoring that I've been doing.
Last weekend was a busy weekend.. Memorial weekend.. Lots of Tourist, Sunshine, and work.. yep work. I worked the entire weekend. That's okay, I've worked a lot of those weekends. My only gripe is that once a person become a "tourist" they seem to be under the misconception that the world revolves around their wants and needs.. Well , I'd hate to be the one to burst your bubble.. No I'm Not... but it don't. Folks, if you are traveling... anywhere.. at any time, please PLEASE remember to say Thank You, Please, Have a Nice Day, and if all else fails at least Smile pleasantly. I gotta tell you, the only ones who remembered to say those things are the ones who live around here and say it all the time.
Okay, enough Bitching. So, I had an alright birthday... sucks that it is during a Holiday weekend... Got some cards, some "Happy Birthdays" acknowledgements, and even a gift. Yeah, I know it doesn't seem like much, but then again my I've never made a big deal out of that day anyhow. Usually by then I'm still trying to recoup from the Kid's birthday bash she puts on each year. The card I got from my DH made me cry.. what he wrote was beautiful to me and better than any present he could have gotten. I got my Birthday wish and sat out on my porch and read, relaxed, watched the birds, and just enjoyed my morning.. that is until I had to get ready for work. I also got an e-card from my CM, and another card from my Mom. She has never missed a Birthday. And I won't forget to add all my friends and loved ones at the DoD , they are the best group of people.
Sis, I gotta say that you did a great thing when you brought it back for us.. all of us. I know you could have just saved some time and more if you had just let it go, but we really do appreciate you and David and the energy Ya'll put into it.
The Kid, I got her a summer "Job" w/ her Grandpa cleaning and organizing ... something to keep her on a good sleep schedule and out of the house away from the puter and video games. Plus she gets to earn a few dollars, and in the end can help buy her new school clothes.. I know it sounds horrible making her buy school clothes, but really and truly the Kid is a Clothes Horse. She loves'em. And this way, if she earns them herself; perhaps she'll take better care of them. Plus, she has the opportunity to work w/ the Coordinator of the Relay for Life doing good things during her summer.
I hope she jumps on it, I know that she had fun w/ it last year. Her God Mother is part of it and drug her along to it, but she had a blast and didn't want to leave when I went to get her after I got off of work then. This time, I think I'll just let her stay with "B" the whole night lol. I would go too, except I am scheduled to work ( as usual ) early Saturday morning, but may go out and visit when I get off of work on Friday afternoon.
This is something our whole County gets into.. helping to raise money for .. and helps in general.
Any how, that is my life up to this point.. other than gripes, bitches, and laughs I've forgotten.. I'll try to stop Neglecting you and get back here more often than once a couple of weeks. Perhaps once a week. The Goddess knows my life is a bit on the boring side. Perhaps I'll just say "Thanks" for that and leave you now and go live it.

Devil Beat his Wife
Wish you could have been there w/ me yesterday.. was sitting on my porch watching the storm roll through, the rain beating the streets, water washing away the woes, wind styling my hair.. all the while.. I wished you were there to share it with me. There was very little lightening, but a whole lot of Thunder... BOOM !! BOOM BOOM !!! Rumble, Grumble, and moan. It was beautiful and amazing to see, and in the end the Devil was beating his wife.. Yep, it was bright and clear and still it came. A beautiful ending to a wondrous storm. I smiled, thinking of you my friend... and wished again I could have shared it with you... Perhaps another time. I found out that all the lightening was inside of town and even caused many places to loose electricity. But not here, not at the "show" .
K's day was a good one, the night before I had a total of 4 daughters. Not as large as the previous years seven; but still a good night. She had 3 or 4 more show up for lunch and cake.. and gifts. Unfortunately I had to go to work, but at least I was there for 95% of it. Lots of pictures of the girls, tons of laughter, and good memories.
Mother's day was quiet.. we went and had lunch.. us, MIL, BIL, and their families. I got a pillow K had made in Home Ec.. and a grass plant from DH. Then off to work again. Was still a good day. Lots of nice customers saying "Happy Mother's Day" , even more smiles and laughs.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow, 15 yrs for us.. can you believe it... Fifteen Years; and still I look forward to seeing him every day. Somehow, I cannot imagine that so many years have gone and yet it seems we have been together a life time. I look forward to a full life together. I try each day to tell him " I love you" and he tries each day to make me laugh ( his way of saying I love you back ). A touch, A look, a shared smile and I am happy with my life. He takes all my worries and just blows them away by loving me. Another wonderful thing for tomorrow is the Banquet my DD K is part of, being honored in. I plan on getting it on video to share w/ my Mom since she can't be here to see it. Also I have to remember to take a digital camera for pictures too. My Baby is growing up, and I am growing also.
Until then I am still me, still alive, and still working to live and love well.

A New Day
Well, we said our Farewell's to Gene yesterday.. it was difficult for all who loved him. My DH was a pall bearer, he stood up well.. shed a few tears. He wanted to share some stores, but like the rest of the family he just couldn't get past the tears in him to do so. After the burial, DH his best friend and many more stood around telling the stories. All in All it was a good day, in the sense that Gene is no longer suffering and is now beyond the pains of this time. Although there was all the flowers missing, The family had opted to forgo them in loo of money to help pay for the funeral.. Gene did not have insurance or anything else to help them.
I told Donnie again that I did not want a Preacher at my funeral ( it is not a time for which I gave up so that they could just give another sermon.. ) and that I wanted to be cremated and then you can gather everyone and have a huge party to celebrate my life and me. No Tears, No Black mourning clothes, No Regrets. Just remember me.
I did work that afternoon, it was an okay day, my co-worker and I took turns away from the register to do the more involved work... all in all we got the to do list done and more. Perhaps the next time I am in there I won't get reamed for what WASN'T done ( after I'd left ). We had a big meeting at work the other day, Aired out some frustrations ( at least the management team did ) and so far it seems to be working.. at least all of us except the GYer who seems to be under the impression she can show up .. oh.. whenever.. Bitch. Thanks to her the entire evening gets blown off schedule for the 3 - 11 person. I wish she would either quit or get on the ball.
This morning I was reading http://blog.dogwooddreams.com when I heard my FIL ( next door neighbor ) firing off his shotgun... lol. Stupid people next to him seem to think they have acres of land for all the animals they have on it.. 2 dogs, 3 goats, use to have 4 ducks, shitload of chickens.. minus 2 ... and the fowls are flight capable.. and well there were chickens in the garden of my FIL. Well needless to say, there are two less chickens in the neighborhood.. would have been three only FIL missed one.
Normally he returns the carcasses in hopes that they will get the message and after talking to the District Court Judge.. ( friend also ) he was told not to do that anymore. "Next time just throw the carcasses out the back pasture.. and be sure to call the ASPCA. They will do something about all the animals for such a small place"
We have been starting to have problems w/ the same people also.. well at least some of their animals. Their dog that they allow to run loose in the neighborhood ( chasing cars, school buses, and such ) has been coming late at night and strewing our trash all over the place. Our options are to either call Animal control, or the county commissioner. Or last resort.. Shoot the damn dog. To be quite honest.. I blame the owners around here for not taking care or caring about their animals and allowing them to run / roam free .. free to get run over, chase kids, shit all over the place, destroy property.. I think the owners should be held responsible.
Now, I know it sounds cruel, but I grew in the back wood of the Ozark Mountains where loose unknown dogs were shot on site.. where Coyote hides were posted on fence lines to warn others to keep off. ( Old Wives tale ) . Where you did what had to be done to protect the herds.
Well, I guess I've talked enough for a while. I'll be back another time soon. Have a wonderful weekend Yall.

Done Derby Done
It's Saturday night and I'm home alone.. the kid has gone to a Friend's house and DH is with his BFF visiting the dying father ( who is brain dead now ) at the hospice. DH was a great friend to have gone w/ his BFF to help support and listen to him, relive good time, and cherish the great ones.
My Mom, whom was coming to visit next month ;went and had a stint put in yesterday.. scared me until I was able to talk to her ( Instant Message ) and know that she was alright. Perhaps now she will finally quit smoking and take her weight ( slightly overweight ) into consideration and go on a diet ( I know I know.. I need to too ) . However because of that, we are postponing her trip down here until the fall.. Maybe in Oct for the festival... Just a thought.
I am doing alright... got pissie at work.. work off my pissie and got on w/ my life. Now, On Tuesday.. 4:30 in the afternoon we are having a "meeting" about the bad attitudes, poor work ethics, and sheer stupidy of our work. I'm sure I'll get reemed too about not pushing them to do better, but hell that's one of the reasons I stepped back from Assistant Manager as it is.. I hate having to tell people what they should do and then follow them around making sure they did it .. I call it babysitting.. and yet I still have to do it. And another thing .. my manager is putting to vote.. whether or not to RE hire an EX employee ( worthless piece of egomaniacle shit there is around.. she is all about HER.. two faced pain in the ass ) I made myself clear that if she was to be rehired.... I would quit.. and don't think I wouldn't . F $ still wants me.. and the Arburetum is looking for help. Hell, I can still go somewhere here in town.
So, my Stalker came in this evening.. wouldn't look at me. so I says " What are you mad at me ?" and he says of my co worker.. "She's my girl now... " I'm thinking "alright.. finally ... one less thing to worry about ".. then on his way out he says " Now R, You know you'll always be my girl. " I smile absently and think " SHIT " . So, I'm still stuck w/ him.
The radio was on a sports station but I didn't get to hear who won the Derby.. I use to love watching the races, but I found that a lot of the horses we mistreated, unloved, and used poorly. So I quit watching.
Well, best get some rest and prepare for a long day tomorrow. Yall have a good weekend / week. and I'll talk at you again soon.
