Well, I can't let it all be just about the kids........

I have told stories about my kids - and their not so gracious, best moments. So, I will tell a couple of stories about myself. Some of you probably already know these stories - so sorry!! When I taught POST classes, I always started the week and had them do an introduction and in that there had to be a "most embarrassing moment". I am an equal opportunity story teller and to make them feel better, I always tell them my favorite most embarrassing moments. Now, I've told you how I fall down and some things like that - but, here are my most embarrassing moments that I like to tell:

#1 - A long, long time ago, back in my old house I was sitting there when my daughter, Crystal came in the house. She was laughing, hysterically might I add and couldn't talk. Now, let me background this by saying, I am one of those people who wear their jeans more than one time. The second time you wear your jeans is when they fit just perfectly - the point when they are stretched and are just right. So, back to Crystal laughing to the point that she has to crawl up the stairs. She comes in and asks - "why are your underwear out on the front sidewalk?" Well, ya see, sometimes that first time you take your jeans off, sometimes you just take everything off - including your panties, underwear, underthings, undergarments, or your fat parachute granny panties (that's me). And then just sometimes, when you put those jeans back on, you forget about those fat parachute granny panties that have now wadded up and are in the leg of your jeans. And then just sometimes, those panties, through your daily movements and joustling, end up making their way down - until they reach the front sidewalk. And then, your beautiful daughter sees them and laughs hysterically at you because your fat parachute granny panties have ended up on the front sidewalk.

#2 - When Rodger went off to school in Wyoming, I was pretty distraught. I don't know why it affected me like it did, but, I cried on and off for couple of days prior to hauling his butt off to Rock Springs for college. Well, the day before going, I was making a huge barbecue meal for the family and some of his friends. I had to go to the store to pick up some things, so I headed off to the neighborhood Walmart. KayeLynn was with me and we went through the store and picked up what I needed. We are standing in line and I decide I can't wait anymore and I have to go to the bathroom!! So, I give instructions to KayeLynn and I head in and do my business!! Whew!! When you get old like me, you have to go when there is an opportunity. So, when I exit the stall, I have a sudden realization - there are urinals in the bathroom. AHHH - CRAP!!! I am in the MEN'S room!!! So, I don't even stop to wash my hands, I hurry and rush out. Luckily there aren't any men in there!! Only, to run head long into a man that is entering - OOPS!! Don't know what he was thinking as he came in and saw me coming out - guess I never will!!

So, there is my moment in the sun - and a couple of my moments. I know there are even more embarrassing moments, but they are probably not suited for this - and I really doubt I want you to know about them!!

Happy Birthday Me!!

I turned 49 a year ago tomorrow.  I was all right with that.  I didn't really care.  But, about a couple of months after that, I realized that in less than a year I would be 50.  When my daughter turned 30, it really was a horrible feeling.  How could I have a 30-year-old daughter??  I am not old enough to have a 30-year-old daughter.  I also had to deal with my baby boy getting married last year - which made me feel like I really was getting older. I think it was after Crystal's birthday that I devised a plan.  I was going to take a couple of days off, I was going to get a hotel room - a hotel with a pool - and I was just going to hide out and ride it out.  I had it all figured out. Well, I decided that my kids might be a bit upset with me that I did this.  So, I went back to Plan B - I would do my usual and plan a "kids" birthday for me so that the entire family, including Zach and Chelsea, could have a good time.  I thought of going to Planet Play and setti

The Haunting

It's been a weird few days. I don't know what set me off. But, I've been thinking about Ted a lot. Mostly, I've been thinking about the night he died. And everything that happened that night. One of the girls I worked with lost her husband suddenly a couple of days ago. I'm not sure if that's what set me off - no, I'm pretty sure it is. So I've been going through old blog posts about our trips together. Looking at memories of our times together. We just had fun together and we just loved each other. Anyway, I've been reliving the night he died. Thinking about it pretty consistently. And the things that happened are truly haunting me. Like, how did he get where he was?? He and I had been sitting together and had literally just had an interaction. The interaction was, please sit back, you're blocking my view of the movie. And it was all done in hand gestures. But it was just so Ted. Completely and totally so Ted. Not even a few

Adios, Au Revoir, Goodbye....

So, tonight is my last night on the graveyard shift. It's been fun the days I've worked. I have to say, I really enjoy these up-all-nighters immensely. They are on the complete opposite spectrum of the "normal" people. Here are some final notes on my time here: Marla, Corey, Cheryl, Betsy, Nicole, Doug, Cortney, Angie, Natalie, Nathan, Amber, Jessica, Cliff, Leslie: STOP BEING SO DANG QUIET!!! I am not used to hearing NOTHING!!! I am used to people calling me constantly, I am used to having things to do, I am used to not sitting around and doing nothing!!! I have done nothing for an entire month - and my BUTT HURTS!!! My butt hurts from sitting in this chair and staring at the computer for TWELVE HOURS CONSTANTLY!! However, on the up side - I have completely loved being with you this month!! Watching Nicole's face in lineup when Diane is there is priceless. Nathan's litte quips and comments are hilarious. Cortney and his "touche" comment
