All over the place

That is the only way for me to describe my mind. Here I thought OK, I made it through Mother’s Day, the Reunion and Father’s Day now I will have some smooth sailing. Boy was I wrong. Woke up last Friday everything was going great, was getting ready to walk out the door for work then BAM hit me like a freight train. Couldn’t stop the emotions, don’t know what triggered it at all. Knew I couldn’t stay home, knew work was the best place for me to get shit off of my mind. Thought I would be able to get myself under control by the time I got to work…NOT! Got to love the dark sunglasses, no one could tell and I made it safely to my cube, where I hibernated all day. Jumped right into my work and soon was focused my programming nightmare.
Did OK the rest of the day and when I went home, got out of the uniform and headed to see Jada and Sam, my rays of sunshine. Ended up taking Robbie and Cary up to the ball diamond so they could watch the game and I hoofed it around the track listening to my Ipod. Music soothes the savage soul. Also watched the game, seen some of the girls that use to play with Mercedes. Man have they grown up.
Next morning headed back up there cause they were all playing again along with the Coulterville girls. Seems funny to see them play now, they actually know what they are doing and are pretty good. Walked up to the ball diamond with Candice, Sam, Jada and Happy Ass. Rule number one never walk that far with them again or turn the Ipod up so I can’t hear them whine. They had Kim come and get them, not me I stayed up there. Was having too much fun watching these girls play ball and plus it kept my mind off of other things. I talked to Angie and Brandy, as usual Brandy is such a great sounding board. We tend to have a few things or should I say issues in common. Was a beautiful day up until the storms headed for us. I was going to walk home, but Brandy said she would take me. I was willing to chance it and step between the lightening strikes. Walked up to the door and seen a blue tail lizard, I have only seen those at Dad’s old home place which was Aunt Edna’s house. Another sign or what?
Sunday spent the day doing laundry and some things around the house. Did go over and get my Jada and Sam fix and while there I tormented the hell out of Cary. He is so coming out of his shell, but him and Robbie can drive you crazy with questions. These kids are so inquisitive, but I think it is just they want attention, since their parents are basically no shows. You know the kind that just want kids for the big tax check. These kids have been put through the ringer and are good kids, but don’t really have a chance in hell, because of their parents. Thank God Kim and Candice take them in and give them a few days of happiness.
Bought a DVD set and started watching 1 of 12 on Sunday. Get ready for this; I bought the Dean Martin Roast Set. Why you may ask, because I can remember countless nights sitting at home with Dad and Mom and watching these with them. Watched one DVD and I was rolling and could hear both Dad and Mom laughing with me. Dean Martin, Rich Little, Foster Brooks, Ruth Buzzy and many others. What is really funny is now I get the jokes, where before I would laugh just because Mom and Dad were laughing. Can’t wait to watch the next DVD. Guess what got another blast from the past coming…The Carol Burnett Show.

Laughter and music is what I need most right now, along with my rays of sunshine.
