This is (was) my car. June 4: The kids and I and Damien's girlfriend, Lindsay had gone to Rockwall for the concert by the lake. Tribute to Jon Bon Jovi, it was alright, very crowded. Damien and Lindsay were ready to go before it was over and to be honest, so was I. We go home and Damien still needs to drive Lindsay home to Allen, and as he's getting into his car, he pauses and, on a whim, asks to use my car. Intuition?? Perhaps and answered prayer. I let him because his car is a beater and it was about to get dark, so I thought it would be better for him to take my car. About 20 minutes after they left, he calls and tells Charlie he was in a wreck, and to get there. So, I rush out the door and after what seemed like a lifetime, I made it to him standing on the side of the road with Lindsay, unharmed. They were wheeling the other driver off on a stretcher to the ambulance. She pulled out right into Damien from a stop sign. They were very lucky to walk away from that, and I thank God everyday for keeping my family safe and sound.So, the other driver, of course was not insured at all. So everything gets claimed on our insurance and needless to say we are haggling with them to get enough money back from that to get a car that is reliable and that will fit Charlie and I and the 4 kids. So, I have been car less for a week now and thankfully have friends and family close by to tote me around.
Back tracking a little.....May was uneventful as far as "events" go in my terms, anyways! We had the 3 birthdays and the morning of May 23, Damien and his buddies having camped in the back area the night before were coming back up out of the woods with a dog trailing behind. Damien said this dog hung out with them all night long and wouldn't leave their side. So we hung on to him and looked for posted "lost dog" signs and after a week there were no signs posted. So, I took him to the vet to get checked for a micro chip and then checked out health wise and it turned out he tested positive for heart worms. The treatment was $600.00 and it is really hard on the dogs system and some dogs don't even make it through the treatment. He is the perfect dog and sweet as can be, only about 2 years old.....so we made the decision to invest in this new member of our family. Besides, Noah and Emersen were with me and were crying at the thought of leaving the dog there to die. I just couldn't do it. The trick to this treatment is that they have to stay calm, cool and collected for 4 weeks, they cannot get there heart rate up at all or they can throw a blood clot full of worm particles and die instantly. A houseful of kids running wild is going to be hard to control. But we are on week 3 and still alive. He has developed an abscess on his back where they gave him the injection, so we give him an aspirin a day and try not to touch it.
He is really such a sweetie, basically house trained with the exception of a few oopsie's, and very clingy, which I am certain is because of some sort of abandonment issue.
Emmie and Aubrey went to the neighborhood Daddy-Daughter Dance in June and had a good time. Aubrey is such a tomboy, I had to bribe her in order for her to put a dress on. She looks so cute in dresses, I wish she would wear them more often. As for Emersen, I have to bribe her at night to take her fluffy dress off and put on p.j.'s. She lives in twirly fluffy dresses, she is ALL GIRL. At almost anytime of the day when you look at Emmie, she has a brush in her hand and is pruning and primping. I keep telling her if she brushes that hair anymore, it's going to fall out, But she doesn't believe me.
So, while they were at the daddy daughter dance, me and Noah went up to the corner Sonic classic car show and saw a bunch of cool cars, Noah really liked that. It was really neat, just me and him, I don't know whether or not I have ever just had "Noah and me time", I really enjoyed it. I love my little Noah!!
Still alot to write, but will go for now. Life as I know it, is a bowl of cherries. I love every stinkin' second of it.
