What have I been doing?

[paragraphs]

This is what fun I had this weekend:



And the bumper...



Yes, I got smashed into by an unlicensed, uninsured probably illegal motorist. Sad, isn't it? I was fine--it happened in a parking lot, thankfully, and thankfully no one was hurt even though she went to the hospital to make sure her back was okay. I still haven't figured out how she hit me twice but then she careened off and hit a parked car. The police found her at fault, not me--and sadly, she likely is in some serious trouble for all of the above. I wasn't even shaking--she was in hysterics, crying that she had no license, no license no license... And she had a young boy with her.

Sigh.

Anyway. I've been busy with the kids. VERY busy--good grief, I went from one child to about six? Eating here, doing laundry, movies, hanging out-- Of course I love it.

Shelby and I are bonding. She just turned around about ten times at the foot of my bed before curling up. I keep telling her and Maddox that they'd best enjoy this as shortly before Nick comes, they'll be sleeping in their crates at night.

Nick counted it up, realized tonight that we have 9 weeks before we see each other again. NINE WEEKS! This will be our third time together, his first here. And he's here for six weeks. We're going to be quite crazily busy with two trips, a Mavericks basketball game, and whatever else we come up with. We'll be going to San Francisco, and to Orlando. Crazy, huh. And ten days of the time here, my kids will both be in Europe. $$$$$ ahhh!!! April I shall be broke.

Nick and I have talked alot about what it will be like, together so much, living a relatively normal existence. I still have to work, after all, and my son will be here. I have tons of things to do between now and then. I'm a bit nervous about how the kids will do with Nick here...both know and say they are cool with it but saying it and living it are two different things, you know? Nick's been in my life three years now, so... It'll be interesting, for all of us. I want it go well, for everyone. I want Nick to love it here, want to come back. Badly. Smile.

I'm making a neat and interesting little stack of books to read. Most, interestingly enough, are considered YA books. I'm working on that post for posting tomorrow.

Going to go write now--and visit a few livejournals. Nite all!

O wow...no license either? Or insurance?! ...how the hell did she...?
Wow.

As for the stay, I'm sure things will run smoothly, as far as Europe...if you adopt me, can I go with the kids up there? ^__^ XOXO

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Ohh I wish I could adopt you! You are adoryble. :) This is the last hurrah though-- And Tiff technically is paying her own trip. But they are going through the high school and it is an amazingly economical trip. France, Munich, Swiss Alps. Ten days. AHH! Very quick and crazy but they will have so much fun.

Curses! Body work is hell expensive :(

Thank heavens that I have uninsured motorist coverage. All my griping about my monthly insurance bill is over. It is paying off.

[talekyn.livejournal.com]

First of all ... ouchies on the car! Poor thing. Glad all are okay.

Second of all -- I sent your Christmas card out yesterday.

Thirdly -- When will you be in Orlando? I will be down there for work sometime in late Feb/early March (don't have the calendar here at home with me). How great would that be!

Fourthly -- when you get to SF, give Rich a smack upside the head for me. He deserves it!

Fifthly -- I also hope things will go well for all of you. I want my favorite Texans to be happy! *grin*

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Awww we won't be there until the end of March. We're going to Universal Studios! CRAZY! I told my son about it this morning and he thinks it is cool and we'll have fun.

Gosh I love my son.

I will smack Rich if I get to see him. I need to talk to him about that.

I want us to be happy too. Six weeks will either be heaven or... Frankly? NEITHER of us have lived with someone else like this ever (in N's case) or quite awhile, in mine. I have become very used to the solo life. But I want to do it with Nick.

[talekyn.livejournal.com]

That's why I love the two of you -- that connection is amazing and I so want everything to work out for you. Six weeks can be a long time, or it can fly by!

Universal in California was cool when I went with Karen and Eric; I'm sure the one in Orlando is about the same.

And yes, you have cool children!

I'd imagine a fifth would make her a very happy texan. *G*

HEY NOW!!!!

lol

*G*

[nocluvok.livejournal.com]

Hey now, hey now
Dont dream its over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they wont win

If ya gotta get a song stuck in your head, it might as well be a good one, huh?

[talekyn.livejournal.com]

Haha! Good one! Wish I'd thought of that.

[catsintheattic.livejournal.com]

Too bad that the car got crashed like that, and with her having no insurance... On the other hand, of course, it's good that you aren't hurt and the woman is physically okay as well. What a stupid thing to do...

The nine weeks will be melting away, I'm sure! I hope all goes well for you, Nick and your kids.

&hearts - just because :-)

SNiff, thank you!!!!

[klgrem.livejournal.com]

At least no one was hurt. Illegal aliens. *shakes head*
Whoever got her the car should be responsible.


Happy Holidays. :)

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I felt sorry for her, really-- :*( But, she shouldn't have been driving.

[nocluvok.livejournal.com]

Wanna borrow my truck while your baby is being fixed? It don't got airbags, but at 14 tons there ain't much need for em.

So glad to hear no one was hurt. Now go kick your governor in the butt and tell him to get that fence built.
