I got a prezzie from my awesomely talented daughter. She posted it on her deviantArt gallery. She drew me a picture. *grin*

( NSFW Clicky, you know you want to... )

Our oldest son Mike is home from his second tour of duty in Iraq!

He sent some advice to his dad, never run over a land mine. o_O

A few years ago our youngest son had a problem that our doctor down in Texas told us was sleep walking. This weekend we found out different. On Thursday our son had one of these episodes while in school and unlike when it happened down in Texas where that school didn't contact us till several hours after the problem was noticed this school tried calling us and when no one answered the phone here they sent a police officer to track down my mother-in-law while they took my son to the ER. I'm grateful for that. I was down in Salt Lake at the time and my husband was out in the yard when they tried to call. He did call the school when he came back inside and immediately went up to the hospital after hanging up. The doctor in the ER had a suspicion of what was going on with our son but he did not have the equipment to make a proper diagnosis at our tiny hospital so he decided to send our son down to Primary Childrens Hospital in Salt Lake post haste. My husband called me then to tell me what was going on and that they would be driving down ASAP. I met them at the ER of Primary Childrens around 4:30 pm and at 6 pm we had a new diagnosis and a treatment plan. It turns out my son has been having Atypical Absence Seizures. I am relieved to have a diagnosis that I can do something about. We can treat this.

After spending the night in the hospital for observation we spent the rest of the weekend at a friends house so we could attend some social gatherings going on in town. Friday night was spent at The Greenhouse Effect in Salt Lake for Stealth Coffee. This is something that takes place every Friday night at that location and it is a blast every time I get the opportunity to attend. Saturday we went to Liberty Park for the first Mountain Shadows Clan of the Toteg Tribe meeting. Then Sunday we went to Fairmont Park for a Meetup Picnic where I got my picture taken by a member of the Church of the Sacred Circle (who were also having a meetup in the park) every time I visited the public restroom. I laughed that off but I got pretty peeved when another member of that organization decided to take video of my son when he was near the restroom. There is something seriously wrong with those people!!

Lewis Falls
Yellowstone National Park

Some of my family came up from Texas to visit me for a few days. This includes my grandmother, mother, niece Sharon, nephew Charlie, and favorite cousin Mike. While my grandmother opted to stay here with my two year old nephew the rest of us decided to embark on a day trip up to Yellowstone National Park. This is a trip I've made a few times but it's never dull and always a beautifully scenic drive. I've never really had a wildlife encounter while up in Yellowstone till this trip though and thus comes the tale of the asshat humans...

It's going on sunset and we're still in the park as the speed limit is 45 at the most but usually more like 35. Why? Because they don't want you to hit the wildlife and the roads are mountainous, curvy, and lined with trees. There are also few passing zones within the park for the same reasons. Does that matter to an asshat in a pickup truck though? Nope. We were driving along doing the speed limit when about fifty feet in front of us crossing the road is a baby bear. We stop, leaving plenty of room between us and the bear. I almost got a picture of it too... till the asshat in the pickup decided that we were just stopping in the middle of the road in a no passing zone for no particular reason at all and zooms around us... that is till he sees the bear and decides to slam on his breaks taking up both lanes while his buddy in the passenger seat rolls down his window (yeah you read that right, fucking idiot) to hang out of it so he can get a picture of the bear. What I thought to myself at that time was, "these are the kind of idiots you see on those When Animals Attack videos..." They were real damn lucky that momma bear didn't come out of the woods.

Well that was too good to be true. Apparently they're still here. :(

Child support is late but It's posted now.

Welp back to looking over my shoulder worrying about whether the Psycho Stalker is going to attack.

Well, looks like that dead beat Rat Bastard is up to being himself again. No surprise right...

Late one night last week I got a phone call from Audra down in Texas because Jimmy Jr (7 year old) had to have an emergency appendectomy. He's doing fine now, everything went well. Audra called me again today and mentioned that the insurance she had for the kids that the Rat Bastard's job up here sent her rejected the claim saying it was no longer valid. Which means he probably isn't working for that company anymore. This would explain why the child support has once again stopped as well.

*rolls eyes* Oh but that's not being a dead beat dad...

Whateva! As I've stated before, it's no skin off my nose if he wants to rack up over $100 per month in interest to his over $20,000 arrears. Him not paying that off quickly actually means I get more money out of him in the long run.

I do really hope that this means him and the Psycho Stalker have moved the fuck away from me again. That would be blessed news indeed. It would mean I could stop looking over my shoulder wondering if she's there. Gods what a relief that would be!

I HURT! Every part of my body hurts right now but I'm also having these traveling spasms of intense pain that just incapacitate me. Brain fog is horrible, just writing this is challenging and I'm really nauseous, not able to eat much, even watermelon is making me ill.

THIS SUX!

I made it home from Heartland. I'm exhausted, in pain, sore and swollen all over. It rained all weekend... you know what, I'm just going to stop right there....

I thought it was time to upgrade the camera. We had an old Fuji Finepix 2650 that still works beautifully but doesn't quite do everything I want in a camera so I just purchased a Fuji Finepix S5700 and gave the old camera to my daughter Christi.

I spent a good deal of time yesterday annoying most everyone by taking various pictures and videos. If you go to myspace you can see a video I took of our fire bowl last night. To see some of the pictures I took you can visit my flickr.

I also took this picture of my new ring. I lost my wedding ring which was sterling silver with celtic designs engraved on it. This is what Parker got me in replacement. *smiles* Yes I do love that man!
