Time

Time. It is the one thing we never have enough of. Time is the one thing that is endless. Time always runs out when you need more of it. Time is the one thing I don't have.

Last Wednesday, I went in for surgery, again. Five times in fourteen months. One C-section. One attempted hernia repair. One Hernia repair. One Tonsillectomy. And finally a Major abdominal repair, and muscle repair, and slight tummy tuck. Ouch.

I thought that I had time to do my job and get every aspect of the house clean. I wasn't planning on having surgery until the middle of July. Not the 18Th of June.

I didn't get the dishes done, the laundry done, or the carpets scrubbed. You see, I was too busy playing with my one year old. I didn' t know when the next time I would see her would be. I don't know when the next time I will get down on the floor and play with her. I was too busy being a mom.

Since I have been home, I came home Tuesday night (I despise rush hour traffic!) I have gotten many hugs and kisses from Emily. My Husband has cleaned the dishes, finished some laundry. and pulled the weeds.

Time- thank heavens we will always have more.

Neighbors

Everybody has them. You cannot get away from them. Most, you become friends with, have barbeques with, and raise your children around... On the other hand, you have those that you just cannot come to live with. My neighbors take the cake. They have four boys. The oldest three are members of a very notorious gang. Last year, they had a drive by shooting. Leaving them with 14 rounds in their house. The dad was becides himself. The Mommy was laughing.

Yes, I said laughing.

Last night, when we were getting ready for bed, our doorbell rings. Mind you, this is almost ten o'clock at night. I go downstairs and answer the door. It is a man with a warrent, asking me if I had seen this person(my neighbors kid). Thank heavens, he hasn't been around much since the shooting.

Too bad that I thought bounty hunters were only in big cities. Because, I never thought that I would have to face one. I am glad that he wasn't here for anybody in my family.


So needless to say, I do not like my neighbors.

Tell me about the neighbors you have issues with. Maybe, I will have a chuckle or two with you.

Dinner Time

Tonight I made lasagna, peas, and garlic bread. Emily was eating the peas for about five minutes, and then tried the lasagna. Out came "Damn Good, Grandma". Gotta love the babysitter.
