Now, that is something I SHOULD indulge in more often.

U – UNINTERESTED IN: Scifi flicks/shows, NFL football and some other sports .... but not all fo them. I also do not find interest in unhappy negative thoughts that do nothing but bring others down.

- Work has been uber stressful lately.
- Thomas has a kick ass graveyard in the front yard which has lights that dance to music.... Sample of songs: Monster mash, Addam's family, Thriller, AC/DC, and many more!
- Destiny sang the Star Spangled Banner this morning for the Decatur Cross Country Meet
- I stepped in a damn hole leaving her performance to sprain my ankle...which is totally pissin' off. It sucks not to have full mobility.
Life has been good as I am a blessed woman. I can't wait to have the rest of Halloween finished and friends/family over to celebrate with us. I look forward to what the Christmas show will hold this year. I look forward to cold weather as my hormonal hot flashes are driving me crazy this month has been HORRIBLE! I hate walking with crutches. They said it could take two days or two weeks for my ankle to heal. There is no way in hell that I could walk on my foot right now..... I am hopeful the 2 days is accurate for injury as I do not know how I could possibly do my job with crutches and have no leave to take off an extra day. So I say to this foot.... "Foot you have today and tomorrow and that is IT!" so now I sit here on my booty and have my family wait on me. I could get use to this, although I only have it for today and tomorrow... you hear that FOOT! For lunch my sweety picked me up some Church's chicken because I love it so. I do love it. But my tummy does not! With a bummed foot and being unable to WALK those two combinations do not work well with tummy issues. If I can keep from crappin' on myself today it will be a good day after all. lol TMI I know. Here is my baby girl singing today... I am no videographer so the video sucks as it was taken on my digital camera and well I am an ametuer, but my baby did wonderful! It was her first time to sing solo in big crowd and it was cold and wet. I think she ROCKED!
EDITED 10/13/09 TO INCLUDE LINK TO VIDEO BECAUSE I AM A DUMBASS AND DIDN'T CHECK THAT BEFORE! www.youtube.com/watch ENJOY!
Monday (Labor day) we decided to adventure out on a nice little hiking trip. We mapped out and planned a route, Thomas researched the area we would go and drove to Russelville to get to the trail head for the Thompson creek trail.... on a search for the big poplar tree that is suppose to be the largest tree in North Alabama. There should be waterfalls and such on this trail and I am always up for an adventure. Soooo we gathered a change of clothes proper attire, back packs with snacks and waters and such and headed out. The drive was nice. We found the trail head just as we planned. 
Here are some photos to look at:
Anyway... to try to make a long story short. We walked the trail about mile.... this trail is not heavly walked and we were deep in the woods, I have to admit I was not prepared for the number of snakes we saw. The first was a black snake, it seemed spooked by us and kept to itself. Then we saw a little silver/gray baby snake right by the water we had to pass. We kept going past it...I was leading the pack this time. Watching ahead for snakes, but keep this in mind there are tree vines and such on our path and this is a trail that is not kept up regularly like say green mountain trail or something. I was looking ahead and raised my right leg to realize that I was only two more steps away from a big copperhead snake..... I am not talking about a baby one. I am talking about a 3 foot long 2-3 inch round big mother f'n snake. It blended right in and I thought it was another freaking tree vine on the path... I didn't give this snake time to see if it was going to mind its own business... Thomas seemed to have thought it might. But after the third snake and this HUGE one blocking the darn pathway I said that was enough... so I wimped out and we called it a day. We actually high tailed it out of there as I was on edge and totally freaked out by how damn close I just got to that snake. I learned one thing. I will not go back without something that I can defend myself with when it comes to snakes....whatever that may be. Wait make that two things... my camera never crossed my mind with any of these snakes, maybe it is simply because I am terrified by them and I never want to look at one that close through a lens.
NOTE: Some may know me from my childhood and how I had a big snake on my waterbed once... ever since that tramatizing event snakes and I do not bound well. I am totally freaked out by them. I mean like a cry baby freaked out by them!
I want to go back. I want to see the tree and the waterfalls and such. OHHHHHHHHH I will do this! I will face my fears.... I just need weapons!
Desmond had a good birthday for the most part. He was a happy lil boy today. There was one catch as with my luck ....no our luck there is always something bound to happen. He got a small drum set valued at 50-60 dollars and when the box was opened and everything hooked up it DOES NOT WORK! That is pissy considering it was a birthday present. But he had so much fun with his NCAA 2010 psp game I don't think he missed it really. Here are some photos from today!
I love his smiling face!!!!
September 1st 2009, is a new day for my family.
Destiny called me yesterday at school saying she was feeling horrible and she couldn't concentrate on her school work she felt so bad with headache and sore throat. I went and picked her up at school, carried her home and gave her some tylenol and mucinex to kind of remedy it yesterday. She did not feel well all night. This morning I didn't even wake her because she was up most of the night coughing, I felt her head and definetly a fever no need to even use a thermometer. I called in to work, and tried to contact her doctor. I carried her to the doctor and when we were finally seen, the nurse said "sounds like the flu", I am thinking surely not! PLEASE NO!!!! The nurse proceeds to do a flu test (Swab of her nose) and comes back moments later saying "yep, its the flu". I still wait on the doctor. He conducts an exam and while doing so asks Destiny if she had been eating alot of pork? Then asked if she has been oink'n lately. I am thinking in my head NOT FUNNY, but he was making light of the situation. He then says "yes it is swine flu". Then I face the fact that my baby girl is real sick and she will get better but she has to tough through this first. Blah blah blah
It hits me moments later after I quit worrying about her so much and focus on the rest of us. Yes the rest of the family that live in the same home with Destiny. And, not only do I need to get in panic mode and disinfect the areas she has been and get the family informed on how not to transfer the germs and protect themselves but ... brace yourself... BUT... OMG... WE ARE GOING TO THE GEORGIA DOME ON SATURDAY FOR THE BAMA GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We can not be sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The doctor says Destiny should be better soon and that she may even return to school as early as Friday. If the rest of us can keep from getting it we will all be just fine. So I am keeping my figures crossed and try to keep our hands cleaned and hopeful that no one else will get this nasty bug.
As for flu shots next year? I will leave it up to each individual if they choose to get one I will ensure that they have it available to them. If I will get one? Guess it depends on if I get the flu again or not.
