I GOT THE POWER!

I FINALLY have my power back. After what would have been a week today. I almost did a cartwheel I was so happy to see my lights back on!!! Yiippppeeee!!!!!!

Meant to be??

I was thinking the other day about my life. I have mentioned on more than one occasion in this blog that I am not the most graceful person in the world, and out of the way things seem to happen to me more than any other person I know. As I sat and thought about it, I realized this has been going on since I was born! As I remember some of the stories family members have told me over the years I remember at about 6 months old or so, I was in my walker and fell down a flight of stairs! I was ok, bruised pretty good on my head but ok. Then around 2 years old or so, my mom say she was driving with me in a pickup truck. They stopped at a gas station where a friend had opened the passenger side door which I was on (no seatbelt no carseat abviously), and put some ice in the truck. Forgetting to shut the door all the way I guess. She said they were driving to my grandmothers, and she looked over at me after going around a curve and saw me, hanging on to the open door as we drove down the street!!! It has apparently opened as she turned and I was just hanging there like nothing was wrong. As I got older it continued. A close friend of my dad's who we always called "Uncle Bill" because he was like family, bought my sister and I new bikes one summer. I don't remember how old I was but I was in elementary school. The very first day we hop on, take off down the street, I remember I wasn't even down the block, I was barely past our house, and I ran over a stick, it flipped up into the spokes, locking my wheel front wheel and I flipped right over, head over heals! Before I finshed elementary school I would be involved in lots more mishaps, resulting in a skin graft surgery, and a surgery to insert metal pins into my hip becasue it was slipping out of the socket. They are still there to this day by the way. During Jr. High, I managed to sprain my ankle a million times it seemed, get shot in the foot with a BB gun, making my foot swell so big I couldn't wear a shoe on that foot and I'm sure there are plently more I can't think of. Then in high school. Oh high school. During those years I got shot at with a real gun, wrecked a few cars, ripped my pants jumping a fence while playing volleyball, and I'm sure I could go on. My adult years have gotten better but I still got some stories to tell.......maybe another time.

THAT is where I draw the line.....

Ok, so I am known to occasionally wax eyebrows for my friends. It's fun to watch them wrench with pain as I RIP the hair off their faces....hee hee!! But I got this text message this morning:

C: Hey will you wax my bikini line?
Me: Hell no
C: Come on that's what friends are for
Me: Yea whatver

So I talk alotta crap but I will probably end up doing it for her, b/c after all if I can go to Planned Parenthood to get the Morning After pill for a friend, all the while having to "pretend" it was me who made the "ooppss", I can wax the hair off a friends nether region I guess.....I am starting to realize I am way too nice!

Soulmates....revisited

Over a year ago I wrote about soulmates and whether or not they were real. I know believe they are. I don't mean to get all mushy, but I believe Terel is my soulmate. I am totally in love with him, for one. But more than that, I have never had the feelings I have for him, ever before in my life. I think I was in love with Anthony's dad, but I was young, and it wasn't a healthy relationship, still I guess I was in love. Even then I didn't feel what I feel now. I have dated, and really liked, men in the past few years, but none have given me what Terel has. I am not the best with words, but I was laying in bed last night watching him sleep, and I just started crying thinking about how loved I feel by him. How I love just feeling his hand brush my back, or feeling him next to me while we sleep. Or the way he comes up behind me while I'm doing dishes just to give me a hug and kiss and tell me he loves me. I have always felt that something was missing in my life and he really makes me feel whole. I have never fully trusted any man I have dated, EVER, but I truely trust Terel wholeheartedly. It's scary to say or even write that, thinking that it may go bad since I admitted it, but I do. I don't know how or why, it's just something I feel in my heart, I trust him, with my heart, with everything. Another thing is how much alike we are. We laugh at the same things, make the same silly kind of remarks, and even think alike. I will be thinking about something, and a few seconds later without me having a chance to mention it, he will come ask me the saem thing I was going to ask him. It's amazing. Another amazing thing is how he is with Anthony. It's like they have known each other forever. He accepts Anthony like his own child and when we talk about the future, he mentions Anthony as ours, I don't know if he really understands how wonderful that makes me feel, but it does. I am so happy in my life right now, and so glad that he is not only part of my happiness, but is sharing it with me.

Back to the grind.........

Well after enjoying my wonderful 9 days off, I am back at work. Nothing too exciting to report from the vacation. The camping trip was fun. We swam, BBQ'd, roasted marshmellows, drank, played a new game I learned "poor man's golf", and had a pretty good time. We shot off fireworks at the lake and watched their firework display. It was really nice.

Monday I let Anthony shoot off the firework I bought him, b/c the news said it was going to rain on the 4th, which it did so I was glad I let him do it early.

Tuesday on the 4th, we spent the day with Terel's family at his grandmother's house. We had BBQ and watched Madea, it was fun.

The rest of the week was pretty uneventful. Saturday Ant went to Six Flags with his friend. Me and Terel decided to go out to eat, and then we went to the Wax Museum on Laclede's Landing, downtown STL. We had a great day and it was nice to just have some time for us. Without the child in tow.

Now it's back to work. Great.....
