HELLO..... :-)
Hi eveybody...how are you all doin' so far this morning? I'm sittin' here working on my 3rd, and last, I do believe, cup of coffee, and decided to drop in on all of you. Sorry, I didn't get in last night before heading off to bed. Amanda had to work last night, so Landon and the boys came over and had supper, and spent the evening hangin' out here, then Amanda came and got them when she got off. She spent some time on the puter when she got here, and while she was doin' that, I made the mistake of sitting in the recliner to watch some TV. The AC was crankin' and I was a tad on the chilly side, so covered up with an afgan to warm up a bit.... hahaha that was "all she wrote" for me...next thing I remember, it was a little after midnight, and Landon was tappin' on my leg, sayin' "Nite, Mama". I'd passed out like a light! lol A bit after they left, I got up and came in to recheck emails, clean disc, defrag, all that stuff I do before turning off the puter for the night. It wasn't that it was so late then, but I was half asleep, and then on top of that, when I feel asleep, my head must have been cocked in the strangest position, cause when I woke up....talk about a case of "stiff neck". I couldn't even hardly move my head, much less hold it strainght. All I could think of then, was being able to lay it down on a pillow, and hope the crick would go away! lol
Landon, Moriah, and Kenny did some swimming yesterday afternoon, but I didn't go. With Gabriel, not being able to go swimming, because of the stitches in his hand, someone had to stay with him. We did all go to the pool, which I knew wasn't going to be easy, cause as I suspected, it was tough keeping Gabriel away from the edge, and making sure he didn't stick his hand in the water. Poor little guy would sit there at times, and just stare at everyone else in the pool....you could just tell by the look on his face, that he wanted to be in there so much! He is 3, and this is really the first time he's had access to a pool/water on a regular basis. He's been in the water before at a younger age, but just not much. The first couple of times that they took him, he didn't know much what to think. He enjoyed being in, but wanted to cling to you like a vine. We had the floaties on his arms, and kept trying to show him that he wasn't going to sink...but...that's rather difficult for a 3 yr. old to understand. He would just have a fit if you tried to let go of him. I kept sayin' that once he figured out the kickin' of the feet....you couldn't get him to do that for nothin'!....I knew he wouldn't stop. lol A couple of days later, I'm hearing Landon talk about Gabriel's swimmin' all over the pool, like a fish! hahahaha... And Kenny, jumpin off the diving board...he wouldn't do that the last time we were swimming with them. So, we find out later, that "Daddy", finally took matters into his own hands (he was really tired of hearing the screamin' and cryin', everytime someone would try to let go of either of them, or have them try something, to teach them more), so, at one point, I guess, or to the best of my understanding, Landon picked up Kenny, who is 6...mind you, he'd go into the deep end, just not off the diving board...anyway, Landon picked him up, got on to the diving board, and manually, assisted Kenny off the end. LOL.... Needless to say, he got right out of the water, and wanted to go off the dive again! So...we broke that problem. Kenny jumps off the board, and is now starting to learn how to dive off the board. GABRIEL....there is just meaness poppin off the look on his face....hehehehehehe He is SO MUCH LIKE HIS DADDY....it's like lookin' at Landon when he was a little kid. lol Gabriel would cling to you like Saran Wrap...hehehehe I guess Landon was getting a little perturb at this also, so decided that one day, he just give Gabriel a little nudge into the pool...by himself...(don't freak...he had the floaties on)...then stood there and watched him...Gabriel having a fit, I suppose, and Landon, constantly telling him to kick his feet...It finally sunk in....the fit stopped, and now Gabriel too will go from one end to the other of that pool, and NEVER wants to get out...lol We still haven't gotten him to do the head under the water....and he won't jump in off the side, but he just paddles like a little row boat, all over that pool.
I got Lee dropped off at work this morning, then came home, and spent sometime searching through the manuel to his cell phone (I got him one for Father's day). We're still tryin' to figure out some of the settings. He's got it set now on what is called "auto answer". The phone rings, then he has 15 secs. to answer it, or it automatically answers for you. This is GREAT if you're driving down the road, he doesn't even have to touch his phone, just wait for it to answer, then start talking! He really liked this feature....until.... The first day he went back to work, I decided to call him on my break...just to give him a chance to use it....like a couple of kids, playin' with a new toy. The auto answer rang, but no Lee! "Lee", "Lee"...."Hello"...."Hello"...."Leeeeeee"....this went on for awhile....I can hear people talkin'. I finally just hung up, cause no one answered...except the phone...lol. Well, not only is it set on auto answer, it is also set on SPEAKER PHONE...so, when I had called Lee, at work, remember, he was waiting on a customer, his phone sitting on his work bench,.... TALKING...speaker phone blaring... "Lee"..."Lee"... He's getting dirty looks from his boss... and I guess when the customer finally left, Rob told him... "Something has to be done with that phone...we can't have it goin' off like that in the middle of work!" Well drat...for the life of us, we can't figure out how to get it off of "auto answer". It isn't anywhere in the book, or not listed as "auto answer". I'm sure it is under some other setting, but we can't seem to find it. We're going to have to though, cause right now, Lee just turns his phone off when he gets to work. Hopefully, we can figure out how to get it set right. One of the reasons for getting it was so that i could get ahold of him, without having to call his work number. Kinda defeats the purpose, if the phone is off the entire time he's at work.
I'm looking forward to this weekend even more now, than I was before. I mentioned, that it's gonna be 5 days off in a row for me, and I'm going to enjoooooooy that! Lee told me last night that the store is going to be closed Sat. and Mon. They're normally closed on Sunday anyway, except the weekend before Christmas. So, Lee is going to have Sat, Sun, and Mon. off also. I work today, and tomorrow, and then that's it for me, till next Tues!
I'm still battin' around ideas for the 4th. There are several different things we could do. We may even try and combine some of them together. Landon told me that Amanda does work, but she works at a convenience store, they're open 24-7, holiday or not. But, she'll be getting time and 1/2 on pay, so that will be nice! Landon just started a new job, so he's not sure if they're closed or not, but we are assuming that they will be, since it's a family establishment. No one's going to be going out to eat on the 4th....they'll be packin' their picnics, and firing up their backyard grills. So, I don't really expect Landon to have to work on Mon. I haven't check with Kirk and Tara-Lee yet. I'm not sure what his plans are or if he works. Something tells me that a 4**** restaurant, won't be open on the 4th either. So, we'll just have to see what we can put together.
It is suppose to be another scorcher her today. It is suppose to reach 93 today, and 98 tomorrow, with heat indexes of 105 today...and tomorrow reaching 100 or over. So, the next couple of days are going to be miserable ones, as far as the heat goes. The next two days would definately be the days to be stuck in the pool. Noooooooo...not me! I'll be stuck in a HOT drycleaners all day....Lord only knows what the heat index will be in there today!!! Thursday, we have a chance for some much need rain...they're not saying what %age, just isolated thunderstorms. It's been over a week since we've had any. I've been watering my plants outside, like crazy, but they could sure use a good drenching!
Well, from the looks of the length of this email, it appears I've had tooooo much caffine! hehehehe Guess I really got to blabbin'! LOL I suppose I'll lay off the coffee now! Better lay off this email too, or you'll all get bored to death...LOL
Hope that you're all having a great morning, and a wonderful afternoon to come. Think of me in that hot drycleaners, while you're all relaxin' by the pool, or playin' in the surf! Take a dip for me! I'll be back to night to check in with ya'll!
HAVE A GOOD ONE!
Much love,
Lev
