This is the rantings of a WAHM of five children, and military wife. I have been married to a wonderful man for 15 years. This is where I go to vent anything and everything that is bothering me. Enjoy!

Go Riverdogs!!
First off, they won! Both games. Don't ask why we went to a double header. They were both 7 innings each which made it more barable. It went pretty well. Get this....I actually caught a shirt! It came right for me and I caught it! HA! The bad thing is, Lizzie got hit by a ball soon after that. Right in the thigh. Luckily, she was doped up on Lortab so the pain didn't last too long. You what is sad? She really didn't want to go. This dumb ass b*tch didn't want to give up the ball that hit her. I mean come on! She is ten and in tears about getting hit and the dumb @&*#@?! Ok, yeah just a bit pissed about it. The usher had to bribe the dumb ass with another ball so that Lizzie could have the ball that hit her. F*cking childish if you ask me.

Surgery went well!
Lizzie's surgery went very well minus her throwing up. It didn't take long at all. Her thoat was hurting afterwards because of the tubes they stick in for breathing. They gave her some meds to control the discomfort. She threw up a couple times while we were there, once in the car (into a bed pan) and once when we walked in the house. She has been resting ever since. I did take her up to ToysRus. I promised her this one game, Monopoly Disney, for having her surgery. She threw up all over the bathroom in there. I feel so bad for the person who has to clean that up! It was rootbeer float ice cream and water. Ew!
Another cool thing about today. I had my power shut off! Yup, my bad. Sad thing is, I had the money plus some in the account. I tried to pay it on line but they never emailed me back with a pass code or something. Then when I remember, it is late at night! Yeah, I suck I know. The worst thing is trying to tell a 12 yr old boy that I forgot to pay the bill. He did a good job baby sitting though. He is really quiet. Good kid.
Well, off to do something bad. EAT!! muahahahaaahaaa! Nah, seriously, it is dinner time.

Lots going on.
Yeah, there has been a lot going on. Between the blogger not working and my grandparents being in town, there hasn't been much time for anything.
First off, my grandma and her dh came in for 4 days from TX. they parked their camper in my driveway and hung out. I took them downtown Charleston and such. It was a great visit! The kids really enjoyed it and so did our cat, well not the cat.....she didn't like their dog coming in. Mind you the dog is about the same size as the cat. Too funny, but they had a mutual,"I won't beat your *ss if you don't beat mine."
My court date happened while they were here. They actually watched all the kids which worked out great. This what happened:
I told my side of the story, THE TRUTH, after being sworn in. This is a small court room, about 7 maybe 8 rows of pews. Then he told his story. What a load of horse s*it! He tried to say I was slamming on my brakes all the way up the residential road that the whole road rage thing started on. He did ask me if I was pumping my brakes and breaking. I said no but now that I think of it, I was pumping my brakes to slow down to the church area where it drops down to 15 and to give him the hint to get off my *ss. I have prayed about it, because I really didn't mean to lie. I honestly forgot. I was NOT slamming on my brakes as he tried to say I did. Then, him and his wife tried to say I was switching lanes or something to that extent once we got on the highway. Then they were getting over to pull over with us because they thought that something was wrong being the car was full of kids. He tried to say that my dh jumped out and was cussing at him and that he came right back with it after MY dh started it. The honest story, what I told the judge and what happened: My sister and bil were in town visiting. It was Easter afternoon and I was taking them downtown to wander around and eat lunch. We pulled out of my development onto this small residential road that goes up to the highway. They were following in his little Kia. They drive slow so I made a point to go the speed limit as to not irritate my bil. It is 30. I didn't even notice that the other driver had pulled inbetween us until he was right up on my bumper. I mean UP MY *ss. (I didn't put that in but you get my point) We get up to a bump where the speed limit goes down to 15. There is a church there and people were in the parking lot so really tried to slow down. I pumped my brakes to slow down and let him know that I needed him off my butt to do so. ( wish I would have remembered that) Right after the speed drop is some nasty railroad tracks and a light. I braked going over the tracks as it was a red light. There is only room for one car but he insisted on coming over the tracks to get up on my bumper. I was in the left hand turn lane going onto a four lane road, 55 mph. I went over into the right lane, the slow lane, to encourage him to get into the left and pass me so my bil could get behind me. That didn't happen. I let off the gas and let the car slow and that didn't work. I then braked slowly to give him the hint. He swerved around me, came into my lane half way and slammed on the brakes. That is when I hit him. He jumped out and started cussing. That is when my dh jumped out and hollered back. My sister then jumped out and got inbetween them telling them to get back in the car. My bil, a large fellow got out and told them to get in the car. That is when the cop came and the rest is history. Lordy he tried to say that he had and engineering degree and if we hit like he said the whole bumper would have come off or something to that extent. I interjected and said we were only going about 25 or my airbags would have gone off, which is true. Then he tried to say that I hit him right on the ram. Well, I had pics to totally blow that one out of the water. Just look at the pic I have on this site! The judge raked him through the coals and charged him with road rage. I also had to pay my fine of $232 for following too closely. The police officer spoke with us afterward and said that even if you were in a line of cars, you get rear ended and you hit the car in front of you because of that, that you get this one or something to that extent. Oh, it gets even better. I had to make a recorded statement the week before to my insurance agency because he was desputing the claim. They took his statement also. He actually tried to use MY insurance against me in court saying that I said he side swiped me which was not what I said. I called them two days after court to tell them the result. First off, she didn't tell him anything. He actually requested my statement which she refused to give him. It would not have mattered. It was the same exact thing I told the judge. What is worse, he was getting pictures done so they could fix it. First off, he really didn't have any damage. Then to go and have ME pay for it. They are not accepting his claim AND they are suing him for my deductible back. Woo hoo.
I have to go. I will post more later!!
