Happy 20th, Meagan!!!! Love, Mama

It was 20 years ago on July 11th, 1990 at 1134am on a Tuesday that I gave birth by C-section to a beautiful baby girl. My Mama wanted to go with me into the delivery/surgery room so bad but they would only let my husband be in there with me. It just about broke my Mama's heart and mine too that she couldn't be with me. If I had known that in a couple of years that I would be divorced, I would have preferred her in there with me. The next thing I knew they gave me a great big baby to hold. If I had gone to my due date she would have been well over 10 POUNDS as it was she was only 9 lbs 8 ozs. Glad I didn't have to push her out! My OB/GYN said it wasn't even an option. My hips weren't wide enough for natural delivery. Could have fooled me!

It was love at first sight for both of us and always will be! She looked up at me and I could see her love for me even when she was fresh out of the womb. My Mama told me that also. Meagan was my miracle baby as I had 2 miscarriages years before.

Today we celebrated her 20th birthday at Chili's with a big table full of friends, hers and mine. We had a great time and LOTS of laughs!!!

Happy Birthday, Meagan Michelle!! Mama loves you very much!

Blitz and the Rainbow Bridge

“Now cracks a noble heart. Good-night sweet prince, And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.” Shakespeare.

Today Blitz, my gorgeous boxer, crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge. We held him in our arms, gave him many gentle kisses, so many hugs goodbye. His bark is now silent although I hear it in my head. There will be no more like you. Gallant, noble, protective, loyal, loving. True to your breed. My forever faithful four legged furbaby! I can't say enough wonderful things about him. He can chase possums and squirrels til his heart is content. Eat all the cookies he wants. Chas all the bubbles that I can blow for you! OH how he loved to d chase those bubbles and pop them in the aire! Be free! Run free, Blitz! Nothing to hold you back. I love you forever and will miss you always!!

Love, Mama

P.S.

I want to thank Meagan for posting these pics of Blitz for me. And for being here for me and him when he and I needed you the most. I love you, Meagan!

Rats in the Barn!!!

Boudreaux and Thibodeaux

Boudreaux was out in da field talkin' wit his frien Thibodeaux. Thibodeaux said "Boudreaux , you see dat ole barn out dere? Well man, its completely infestered wit rats. I tried everything I know an can't get rid of dem."Boudreaux say, "Thibodeaux, I know xactly how to get rid of dem rats. You gotta get you one of dem bull constriptors." Thibodeaux say, Whats a bull constriptor?". Boudreaux explains, "man. dats one of dem big ole snakes and he loves to eat rats and swallers dem whole, all at once".

Well, da nex day Thibodeaux went down to Kliberts reptile farm and bought him da biggest bull constripter dat dey got. He brought dat snake to da barn an let him loose right in da middle and just sat dere and watched. Well, Thibodeaux was watchin' for a long time, I mean long, an dere wasn't nuttin ' happening. Dat big ole snake jus curled up hiself in da middle of dat barn and slept all day. He didn't even move and dem rats jus run all around.

So Thibodeaux got real frustrated and he called up Boudreaux on da phone, "Boudreaux, man dats some bad advice bout dat snake.

Dem rats is still runnin' al around and dat snake jus lays dere sleepin' all day long." Boudreaux says, "Man, Thibodeaux, I know just what to do. Give dat snake some Viagra." Thibodeaux say, "What! Viagra! What's dat gonna do?" Boudreaux say,"I was just listening to da radio and de man say dat Viagra is da best ting to use for a reptile dysfunction."

Shaving while driving???

True story in today's new at http://www.abcactionnews.com/

CUDJOE KEY, FL --

Texting or talking on a cell phone while driving is considered unsafe by many. Now, there's something else you can add to the list.
After crashing into the back of a truck, Megan Jones told Florida state troopers that she had been shaving her "bikini area."
And there's more. Her ex-husband was steering the car from the passenger seat, according to the FHP.
After she hit the truck, she continued on before being pulled over.
And there's even more. Barnes was also driving with a suspended license, just one day after she was convicted of driving under the influence.
Trooper Gary Dunick, who referred to the trimming procedure as "landscaping," provided an explanation. "She said she was meeting her boyfriend in Key West and wanted to be ready for the visit," he said.
Living on the razor's edge has Barnes charged with reckless driving, driving with a revoked license, leaving the scene of a crash with injuries and driving without insurance. No one was seriously hurt.

My reaction to this story is:

OK..reality check...her ex-husband was driving but she was going to meet her boyfriend...bizarre...and what about her hair..she should have made a stop at the hair salon!! Maybe for 3 things...a shave and a haircut and color!! LOL!!!

Happy Mother's Day

The girls night out

I may have posted this before. Can't remember for sure. If I did, I'm sorry. This is funny every time I read it. Was sent to me in an email and was told to share with friends. So here goes!

Girls night out..

One night my girls invited me out.
I promised my husband I'd be home by midnight.
Hours passed & margaritas went down way too easy.
Around 3 AM (a bit loaded) I headed home.
Just as I got in, the cuckoo clock chimed 3 times.
Afraid my hubby would wake I quickly cuckooed 9 more times.
I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick witted solution.
The next morning he asked what time I got in.
I said "MIDNIGHT!"
He seemed fine so I thought I'd gotten away with it.
Then he said "We need a new cuckoo clock."
When I asked why he said "Well, last night our clock cuckooed 3 times, said 'oh shit', cuckooed 4 times, cleared its throat, cuckooed 3 times again, giggled, cuckooed twice more, then tripped over the coffee table & farted."
