They live in Arlington and were in Houston for a wedding. They were going to be heading back Saturday night. They also had their teenage son with them.
We received a call Sunday evening to tell us they had been involved in a pretty gruesome wreck. They were hit by a drunk driver going the wrong way on I-45 near Conroe.

Last night marina called me from her room and asked me to come upstairs to talk to her. She was crying so hard she could hardly talk. She was forced to go the end of the lunch line because she didn't have her ID. She knew she wouldn't have enough time to eat if she waited in line again, so she jumped into the snack bar line for a bag of chips.

Portia started kindergarten and it is killing me. :( When we dropped her off yesterday she did great. No crying, she barely gave me a kiss. Jewel on the other hand cried quite a bit. I think it was the class placement screw up that started it all.

I got up from my chair to go to bed and when i lifted my foot to slide into my Veronicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16796219563814218739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129107.post-1081291146064035332004-04-06T15:38:00.000-07:002004-04-06T18:29:50.233-07:00grrr. I don't know what is up with jewel lately. She is going to make me nuts.....okay nuttier. She keeps telling lies. Mostly when she thinks it will get her out of trouble or point the blame at someone else. Just now they were playing on the trampoline with marina and i hear crying.

They did pull credit reports and gave us the okay on the house we were going to look at. Hopefully we will get in monday and be pre-approved for more. The first house we saw yesterday was cute. I think there were too many cosmetic issues that the sellers should have taken care of before putting it out there.

I'm always teasing chris that he thinks things through too much. That he needs to be more fly by the seat of his pants like me. It has come back to bite me in the butt. lol We saw a house in a nearby subdivision a few weeks ago and we both liked it. What we could see of it from the street. So we talked about taking a look at it.

We have new neighbors moving in and apparently their truck cannot be shut off. They have been back and forth unloading things since last night. And they never turn their truck off. And it's an old truck that is FUCKING LOUD. Oy last night i wanted to open up the window and scream "shut that piece o'doodie OFF!" But i held back.

My brother understood what i explained to him last time. He was much better behaved when it came to the girls. We had fun and laughed a lot. I even got to laugh at my dad for a change. He got his panties in a huge bunch over my sister-in-law using the dreaded F word. oy vey.

It took them 8 long months and lots of phone calls. I hate that they expect payment in full and on time every month but when they are supposed to cover what you have been paying for they make you go through hell to get it. ugh.

My pregnancy with jewel was such a sad time in my life. I remember being scared shitless from the moment i found out i was carrying her.

One of them is a crochet pattern book. It's pretty new and i have not seen it in any stores.

I watched a show about her last night, she has lost a lot of weight. I love to watch her show, she is so sweet and dingy. But she is always in a great mood. She doesn't care about what other people think about her which i think is great! The scummy media and judgemental people should just give that woman a break.

Finally it's just me and popa again. Chris went back to work yesterday and Jewel was home because she kept coughing. I was afraid she might have caught what chris had so i kept her home. She was better this morning so i sent her in with a note. I just hope that they will let me know if she has a problem with the couging again.

I was so happy that Carrie ended up with Big. I think that if she had ended up with Alexandr I would have been so disappointed. I was in tears by the end of the show.

He was prescribed a $30.00 version of robitussin CF......fucking vultures. Drug companies looking to make a buck. I can buy the walmart version of this stuff for a dollar something.

Saturday we went and had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. Jewel and portia have been there before. This was the first time for Marina, she really enjoyed it. After we started to stroll around the mall. Marina wanted to go shopping at Hot Topic. But Chris wanted to leave cause he wanted to go and buy a trampoline for the kids.

It's from Bindview and wonder if it's chris' bonus. Gosh i hope so. This along with our tax return is "house" money. We will be so lucky to be able to buy a house. Yay

The food was good and the kids behaved, well Jewel & Portia did. Marina has become so dramatic and animated over the last year. Oy will i make it through the teenage years with a drama queen?

And on top of it my mom is coming to stay for a few days. She has some kind of training for work and they always do it here instead of in Corpus. She will be here until Thursday. She actually called last week and asked if she could stay with us. She even said she wanted to give us plenty of notice. LOL Well at least she is trying. :)

Went to Sears today to return our dead Shark sweeper. Very sad for me cause i loved that thing but it pooped out so fast i'm worried about buying another one. Maybe after a few weeks of sweeping the tile i'll break down and buy another. While we were there found some great clothes and shoes for the kids on clearance. Even got some stuff for Chris.

Apparently i was wrong about the back pain i thought i was over. Shit shit shit. I let it get a teeny bit better and then busted my ass doing laundry and straightening up jewel & portia's room. :( And then Chris asked me to take a package to the post office this morning. He sold his Star Wars laser disc collection on ebay. That thing was HEAVY. I'm having a hard time driving cause it Veronicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16796219563814218739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129107.post-1075387663423064242004-01-29T08:50:00.000-08:002004-01-29T06:49:54.996-08:00Ha Ha stupid tailgaters!! I am so sick of people riding my ass everywhere we go. So many people in this city are in such a hurry that they are willing to risk an accident rather than be safe. ugh. So this morning while some ass wipe was tailgating i had jewel cut on her light and wave out the back window at him. I guess it embarrassed him enough cause he backed off. He had many chances to pass meVeronicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16796219563814218739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129107.post-1075215267996398482004-01-27T08:54:00.000-08:002004-01-27T06:57:05.903-08:00Haven't been back for a few days. My brother and his wife were here this weekend and then i screwed up my back. :( waahhhh
Rick behaved but he was still bitchy. LOL He snapped a few times at his wife. He snapped once at Jewel while we were waiting for a table at Carrabba's. The look i gave him said everything. He turned to her and apologized.

Well life has been busy but good. Jewel was sent home from school on Wednesday. The nurse said she was complaining of a sore throat, so she took a look at it. It was very red and jewel had also broke out in a rash. ugh. Right away i knew what it was because this is the 4th time it has happened to her. So i went to pick her up and the nurse asked if i was going to be Veronicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16796219563814218739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129107.post-1071851063841225862003-12-19T10:24:00.000-08:002003-12-19T08:24:50.236-08:00Oh my goodness.

I hate the way medicine makes me sleepy, twitchy and shaky all at the same time. It also managed to turn me into a total space cadet. I would forget my butt today if it wasn't screwed on. LOL

I felt like i was coming down with something so i got a little bitchy. I actually told my mother that she was mean and cold. Especially to me and her sister patti. My father kept making little remarks here and there and my mother finally told him to shut up. He also made comments about my weight, he said he was joking. Marina didn't care she told him Veronicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16796219563814218739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129107.post-1071338154699560642003-12-13T09:51:00.000-08:002003-12-13T09:56:07.253-08:00Well my mom sent me an email last night at 9:46 to let me know that they were coming here the next day (saturday). No they didn't ask if we had plans just said hey were coming. I am so pissed right now and so confused. My mom seems to get a cheap thrill out of pissing people off. So if i let her know that i am angry she will secretly be satisfied. But if i act like nothing is wrong then she knowsVeronicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16796219563814218739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129107.post-1070909301982158422003-12-08T10:31:00.000-08:002003-12-08T10:48:33.320-08:00Grrr..........I hate the weather here!!! I would kill to be back in Worcester right now. They got over a foot of snow this weekend. I love the snow and the cold. I am ready to freeze my butt off. I can't wait to spend xmas in kansas city. It will at least be cold and maybe if we get lucky we will see some snow. I am so sick of the weather going from hot to cold to hot.

BAH
Anyway it was a nice quiet weekend here. Friday Chris stayed home from work because he wasn't feeling well. He had been getting a headache everyday for like a week. He hardly ever had headaches and when he does it's usually a migrane. Well this was very different and it started to worry him. He was also Veronicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16796219563814218739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129107.post-1070557062550981862003-12-04T11:05:00.000-08:002003-12-04T09:05:55.840-08:00Well it has been a few days. LOL My brother wrote me back and asked me to please be understanding. He said i am the last person he wants angry with him. :( I talked to his wife later in the evening and she tried to explain to me that he was just kidding. That he doesn't come across that way but that it is all meant in a joking manner and that if he realized he was hurting my feelings he would Veronicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16796219563814218739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129107.post-1070129624314137072003-11-29T10:11:00.000-08:002003-11-29T10:13:53.896-08:00well i sent the email to my brother. I hope he doesn't decide to call and bitch me out. And if he does i hope he decides to use my cell phone so that i can at least make use of the caller id. LOL
Anyway i have to go grocery shopping and then i'm going to crochet. That always helps me zone out.

Ugh it felt like a month!! I didn't want to use my mother's computer to update. I cannot imagine the shit fit she would have if she found this blog. Anyway my parents behaved pretty decent the last 3 days. They said a couple of things that kinda made me cringe but nothing i couldn't blow off.

Something I'm kind of dreading, *whine*. I'm afraid that my brother and my mother are going to end up arguing. A few months ago my mother and sister-in-law (Veronika) had a huge fight. My mother was being bitchy with veronika about the care she provides for my brother (when his ms medication fucks him up) and veronika lost it and Veronicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16796219563814218739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129107.post-1069780695863590942003-11-25T11:18:00.000-08:002003-11-25T09:18:24.316-08:00testingVeronicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16796219563814218739noreply@blogger.com
