Thursday 6/19/2008

That was the Thursday that we through tears said goodbye before J left for RTC. I think that it may have been the hardest day of my life so far. yes I got him back for another month... but when I pulled out of his driveway I couldn't even get to the end of the street without hysterically crying. The CD Got caught on repeat of Roll On By kid Rock and i didn't know how to turn it off. J called it fate. I still have those text messages from that day. I couldn't save all of them, but i saved alot... and I go back and look at them over and over and they make me smile, and sometimes cry. Mainly They make me so proud of him and make me think that this year even though its been so tough has been so worth every moment of waiting because J means the world to me!! I love you so much!!

come home to me soon Baby!!
I'm here waiting for you with all my Love

Murphy's Law

Why is it that when one thing goes wrong EVERYTHING goes wrong!!? I really am getting back to seeing the humor in things because I swear this family is related to Murphy and his law loves to mess with us!! *Laughing*

I admit it is my fault...
I didn't clean the bar last night so I need to go in early and do it... so I am waiting for my father to give me a ride down there and he spills something that NEEDS to be cleaned up right away minutes before we have to leave... Now I am sitting very patiently waiting for this to go away so I can go down and clean up my mess before I get in trouble.

Tick Tick Tick...


Please God please may you watch my father so he may put my car back on the road so I do not have to wait to be late anymore.

Is there a saint and a prayer for patients?
