My table broke...

All I wanted to do was vacuum under the durn thing and the leg came off. Oops! lol Ah well, Jeremy fixed it when he got home. I'm just glad Caitlyn wasn't sitting on it. lol :)

Had a good weekend. Caitlyn looked so cute in her bikini but she wouldn't get near the pool. lol My cousin had a summer party Sat. and the kids were playing in the little wading pool but she wouldn't get near it. lol Maybe next time. :)

Got drenched at Walmart. It wasn't raining in my town but I got to the next town over and it looked like all hell was breaking loose! Just from the time it took to run into and out of there my pants were soaked. lol

Later gators!

I was wondering...

I was wondering today if you can use Chucke Cheese coins in coke machines. LOL I've got a lot of them left from our trip there. I'm tempted to try it but I never will I'm sure. lol :)

Good News... :)

Jeremy started his new job today. He put in an application on Sat. and talked to them yesterday. They told him that it would be straight seconds but Jeremy said he frowned at them for that. They came up with a compromise. :) He will be on 2nds for about three weeks then he'll rotate between days and 2nds again. Yay!!!! I guess he does listen to me after all. :) lol They gave him the job that he wanted and it is almost a $5 raise on the hour. :) I'm so happy for him and happy for me too.

The only 2 drawbacks will be that Jeremy will not be able to attend anymore of Christian's ballgames and we'll be without a paycheck for a week. I'm not sure how that'll go over because we don't handle that. I'm a little concerned about it but I figure if it's a huge problem then MIL will let us know. She is such a wiz at the stuff. Jeremy and I agree she should be an accountant. She's been doing our bills for a year almost now and we can see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Christian got his first shower today. Hahaha He didn't know what to think. It was funny really.

I'm hoping that I get the monthly visit soon because I feel weird. I'm sore, tired, and my smelling has actually improved. I know what signs they are for and I'm hoping that they're just a figment of my imagination. Don't get me wrong if it happens it happens and I'll be happy but I would rather not. lol I haven't tested because it's still early. I am hoping though to be able to say it was just a mistake. :) Look for that post soon. lol

I did some of my sister's laundry the other night. She had brought over a basket and 2 30 gall trash bags FULL of clothes. I finally got them done. She came and got some last night but couldn't get all it so she's coming back tonight.

I can not leave Caitlyn in the living room by herself anymore. I walked back in here to find her sitting on the coffee table. I took her down 10 or 11 times and kept having to get her down. Even giving her a stern NO was not working. Hmmmm. Guess I will have to take the coffee table out. I didn't have this problem when Christian was her age. He wasn't a climber. She is and will sit on ANYTHING. The box that my excerise ball came in she sat on that, the cat house, and the box where I keep my pictures. She's too funny. I need to take some new pics of her and Christian.

I found this when I was trying to get photos back. Halloween 2005. This was our group. :)

I'm sorry for being so selfish...

I'm really upset at Jeremy and at myself too. He was having problems awhile back with his foreman so they moved him. He told his boss that he would NOT be working another shift under this dude. This man would do unsafe stuff. Unsafe enough that it could get him hurt or worse killed, trapped, or burned. :( He got away from this guy and was feeling a lot safer till Friday. They promoted the dickhead foreman to a higher position. Which means he'll be in charge over the whole place on 2nd shift. Now Jeremy is out looking for another job. He found a place that wants him but the draw back is that he'll have to work straight 2nds. GAWD, I hate 2nds. With every bone in my body I hate them. I have asked him repeatly to not take a job if it was straight seconds. He's seriously considering this job even though it's straight 2nds. For the first 3 years of our marriage and Christian's life he was on 2nds. He never had time for anything. No family gatherings or other events. I feel like a single mom that happens to have a man at home that she's feeding and washing his clothes. For what? If he doens't listen to me or take into any consideration what I think. He asked me the other day what I thought of him leaving. He also went on to say that I had no choice that he was going to do it anyway. I told him that I would like to go away for the weekend for our anniversary. He asked what's more important to you, a weekend away or me being blown up? Yeah thanks honey for making me feel like a complete bitch. He's only been able to make one game for Christian this whole season. I really dont' want him to work under this dude either but I don't want to have to give up the flexibility we have under this schedule. :( It's a no win situation. Either way someone loses out and in the end it'll probably be me again. I've supported him through out all his jobs and I've never said anything till now. I just don't know what to do. I'm at a loss. He says that the 2nds will not be forever just for a little while. These companies promise and promise but rarely do you find one that actually fulfills that promise. I gotta go and I'm sorry to vent.

It stormed today.

I woke up to the lovely sounds of thunder!! After only 2 beautiful days this is what we get. hmmmph. I want to open my windows and I want to be warm. I'm freezing. Even with the air conditioner off I'm freezing cold. I'm actually thinking about going and putting a sweatshirt on.

I didn't get to walmart today for my pics. Haven't even uploaded them yet. Maybe tomorrow.

Christian's grandma came and took him for the night. He's getting his hair cut tomorrow.

I think my ants are gone. I haven't seen ONE since I sprayed the other day. Thank God!!!

I have to get resumes printed out for Jeremy. He is not happy where he's at. He's going tomorrow to put them in.

Live long and prosper. lol (popped in my head don't know why)

What to scrap?????

I have the scrapping bug finally. It's been awhile since I've even dragged my scrap stuff out. :( I want to tonight and realize none of the pictures are talking to me. I can't get any kind of idea on how to scrap them. The pics that I *do* want to scrap are stuck on my computer till I can get them uploaded on Walmart.com. I tried to print a pic the other day and it came out so grainy it was AWFUL!! You could barely tell what the pic was. :( Oh well, at least I have some birthday money I could use. I did get 10 free pics when I signed up and I think the prints are only 12 to 19 cents. I'll have to get that done tomorrow.

On the other hand. I want to scrap my engagement pics. I'm not talking staged I'm talking while he actually proposed. I have them. I just don't have our wedding pics. :( Strange I know. I was pregnant when we got married and I was more scatterbrained than I am now. Can you believe it?? lol My mom has some that they took. She is *supposed* to be looking for them but you know how busy some people are. Anyway, I don't know how to scrap them.

I also have our pics from my senior prom. My mom was snapping pics while my aunt was doing my hair and makeup till we left in the limo. I don't know how to scrap those either. Should I do a sequence sort of thing or just put a couple of us together? I'm just not sure.

Maybe it'll come to me. :)

My *hellion* cat...

I was looking through pictures that I have on my computer today and came across this adorable pic of Spidey our cat. I had just found him a week before I took this pic.

And this one:


And one more:

Look how small he was! He is still not quite a year old yet and he now looks like this:

I love this cat. He wants to go outside so badly and if he ever got out I don't think he would ever come home. The other morning he got out when Jeremy left for work. At 5AM I was outside in my pajamas chasing this damn cat in my socks. The bad part was it was cold and it had rained. Talk about some ugly socks and some goose bumps on my legs. I had shorts on. lol

When I found him I had not seen a big cat around the house. The second day after I noticed him he was in the front yard chasing Christian around. I couldn't stand not knowing if he was being cared for or not. I took him in. The vet said that he looked to be only a couple of weeks old. The first thing he got was a bath. Ewwww the bugs I got off him was unbelievable. He little head was black because of the fleas. :(

Luckily he is fine. Mean and the spawn of the devil sometimes but well loved and HUGE now. Maybe later today I can take some more pics of him. :)

I don't know what I'd do without my hellion. He sleeps with either myself or Christian and constantly wants to be in my lap when I'm at the computer. :)

I bought a Exercise ball today...

and let the games begin! I tried to sit on it earlier and started bouncing on it and fell over backwards. LOL :) It's bigger than what I need but I guess that will be ok. I didn't fill it all the way up. Christian helped me pump it up. He thought it was fun.

Wish me luck! :)

Oh happy days, oh happy days

Where did all the ants come from?! I feel like I've been battling ants all spring. All this rain we have got has really pushed them inside this year. First it was an attack in my living room now they've attacked my kitchen. Ugh! Ugly, nasty, vile creatures! (Can you tell I despise them?) Went to the hardware store got some more spray. I still have the spray so I can spray the outside but it's rained so much there's no point till it stays dry or it'll wash away. I just went in there and sprayed my baseboards and under my sink. I really really hope this works.

Run down of today's activities:

Hardware store

Subway

McDonalds

Long John Silvers (my sister was on her break)

Christian's T ball game.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Christian did really well today! I am so so so proud of him. He hit off the pitching machine TWICE. Other games he had to hit them off the tee maybe connecting with a ball once off the machine. He had also calmed down his fiestyness a little bit and was paying attention. Yay! I'm on cloud nine for him! Jeremy got to go to his game. That was huge! He is on days these next 2 weeks so he gets to see next week's games too!

Hope you smile with your heart!

Mother's Day

I hope everyone's mother's day was as enjoyable as mine. Jeremy went to Church with me and the kids. It's awesome because this is the first time he's went with us. :) We went to his mom's for lunch and she had invited everyone to come. Really enjoyed ourself. I went to my mom's church with her last night and ate cake with her. I baked her a cake and got her a $10 gift certificate to our local scrapbooking store. Here's the cake I made for her, it was my first ever baked from scratch cake:

It is an Italian Creme Cake.

We had a great time at their house. My mom is such a sweet person. I have maybe heard her say a bad thing about someone else about 3 or 4 times in all my 25 yrs. That is no exaggeration. I love her with all my heart and to see her smile makes my heart smile! :)

I thought this pic was funny:


I took it when we got back into the car at my mom's. We were waiting on Jeremy to get Christian in his car. They were going out for ice cream.

Look I have my own photo evidence of a ghost!!!!!! :)

What do you think it was? I think it was a very active 4 yr old. In other words her name would be Hope. LOL I thought it was just a cool shot.

When Caitlyn and I got home I put her to bed and started making my mother in laws cake. I was in the middle of mixing when Jeremy and Christian got home. They worked in the living room for just a min and Christian came and got me. He told me that he had something to give me and "Happy Mother's Day!" There was a bag laying in the middle of the floor. :) I opened it and this was what was inside:

It was a big green plastic bowl and a Sunflower Grow Kit and a card signed by Christian. I just had to smile because Christian picked the bowl, card and kit all by himself. He was so proud. :) He said that I wanted the bowl. Too cute! I had only looked at them the other day and commented that we might get some next time we were there. lol I would have preferred blue BUT he picked it out for me. :) I love it! :)

We spent today at Jeremy's mom's house. Had a wonderful time. Great food and great people!

I hope everyone's mother's day was great and you have wonderful memories! :)

Smile with your heart and hug the ones you love! :)

Rare Pic of me...

This is the madatory reflection shot. I forgot I had it till just a little while ago. My hair is much redder now. Speaking of that. I need to dye it again.

One of my reaccuring dreams...

In the last post I told you that my parents had built the house I moved out of. Well, before they were even talking about building I kept having this dream. I had this particular dream for like months in a row. Every night. In my dream I was asleep in bed(which wasn't my current room) and noticed my door was slightly opened. I never had it opened when I was asleep. I watch as the door opens. A faceless figure walks over to my bed. When it looked down at me I should have been able to see the face. Nope. No face. Well, he raises something in the air. Silver. As soon as he brings it down I wake up. Cold chills, tense, everything.

Here's the thing. It went away till right before we moved into the new house. Happened everynight again. No big deal. Right?

First night I'm in my new bedroom I have the dream again. This time when I wake up I'm more terrified than ever. The room in my dream was the room I was actually in! Exact EVERYTHING! This dream happened everynight for awhile. Nothing in real life ever happened but it was still scary enough to lock my door for awhile. I'm so glad I got that one out of my head. lol

"Ghost" stories??

The thread on Ghost Hunters made me think about this story. I put it on 2peas already but I'll put it here too:

One of the times that stands out to me was in 2001. My best friend was on a blind date. She didn't want to be alone so I went with her and one of mine and DH's friends. DH had to work that night so he let our friend be my 'date'. We went to Garden of the Gods which is basically a spot out in the woods with a bunch of cliffs and rocks you can climb on. There's also a lot of trails. It was already dark when we went and best friend and her date were on up the trail a little bit. I kept getting a very anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach. Overwhelming at times. I made my friend hold my hand. LOL I was such a wimp. It was really like something was there watching us but we couldn't see anything. When we got back to my car we were standing around talking. All of a sudden we started hearing noises coming from the woods and just then the interior light of my car turned on. OMG! I had never gotten back into a car that quick! LOL I found out later that it is supposedly haunted.

It could have all been my imagination though but who knows especially with the light turning on by itself. No one opened the door.

How about the time when right after my grandfather passed. I woke up at their house to hear footsteps come from the kitchen, through my grandmother's room, right BY ME, and stop at his closed door. No one was there!!

I honestly think something was up with their house. After he died I tried to sleep in that room. Couldn't do it. Woke up the next morning with the lamp in the floor, sheets thrown off the bed, and pillows being strewn where ever. We kept his room shut up all the time. Here's the weird part, my grandparent's never had a cooling system installed. All they had were those window units. His room had one but since no one was ever in there it was NEVER turned on. I don't care what time of year you walked into his room it was freaking COLD. See your breath cold. I remember walking in there for something in the middle of July and being able to see my breath in this room. Never worked for my parents just my sister and me. I think that he wanted to let us know that he was still around and was watching us. I love that feeling. Peace.

Right after my grandmother died my parents went through and unpluged everything in the house. One day I was riding my bike around their house and I heard what sounded like the tv through the wall. My grandmother was hard of hearing and this was normal when she was alive. She had it so loud you could tell what she was watching. I ran into the house and checked. The tv was pulled away from the wall and UNPLUGED! Just like I said with my grandfather I think she was trying to tell me she was ok. We had a terrible fight the night she died. I think she was trying to tell me she was ok.

The house I grew up in wasn't that bad just every once in awhile in the middle of the night you would hear the dishes in the cupboards making noises. Like someone was putting them away. Only to get up and no one be there. A couple of years after my grandparents passed my parents tore down their house and built our new house right where it stood. My room in the new house was always extremely cold. I was ALWAYS freezing. My parents never believed me. Now they do because since I've moved out it was my father's computer room till my mom kicked him out to have it as her scrap room. They both tell me they were sorry they didn't believe me about it being that cold in there. They have little space heaters in there now. lol Well, anyway, when I was living there you would hear someone drive up the driveway. All the time. My room was right beside the driveway. I was constantly checking out the window to see who pulled up to find no one there.

I haven't experienced much in this house. I did wake up one night to see something black with red eyes staring down at me. I watched it for awhile trying to get Jeremy up. Before I could get him up it flew through the wall. Yeah, I don't think I fell asleep that quick after that. lol

I think at the time of all this my nightmares were off the charts. I was always being chased by something huge, black, with red eyes. Always. There were times I didn't want to go to sleep because of the nightmares. I fought through most of them while asleep and Jeremy can tell you I throw a mean punch. Unfortunately he had some bruises to show me in the morning. That's another thing I've always done in my sleep. Fight. I can't tell you how many times I've woken up with swollen knuckles because of hitting walls. Thankfully this seems to have calmed down considerably. It happened a couple of weeks ago. The scary part was Christian was in bed with us. :( I didn't hit him thank GOD but Jeremy said that I was hitting him hard enough that it would have made Christian cry. :( I want to know how to stop it flat and not worry about it. I couldn't bare to hurt one of my kids.

I guess I need to think about rainbows and kittens before bed.

Lazy day...

Another day of storms here. This one had my hanging baskets whipping around so fast that I had to take them down. I was afraid that it would hurt the flowers. Unfortunately I think one of them is dying. :( Even if I water them everyday I manage to kill them. Ah well, I'll go to the store and get some Miracle Grow and see if I can bring it back to life.

The kids and I just laid around today. I didn't feel like doing a thing and neither did they. I did get some cleaning done though. Tomorrow I have to run to the post office, go to wal mart, and bake 2 cakes for Mother's day. Trying to decide what the plans are for Mother's day.

Not much for today though or at least right now. :)

Yay for me!

I really need to get to Macy's. I'm finally noticing for myself that I'm losing the baby weight! I'm still bigger than I would like but I think I can go and try on those cute pants that I saw last time I was there. I got a gift card for them for Christmas and haven't spent a dime of it yet.

Looks like it's time to get a babysitter and go shopping. I hate shopping but it's something that HAS to be done. The best pair of pants I own are falling down and the bottoms of them have been walked on for so long they are ugly and frayed. I think I may call Jeremy's step mom and see if she would like to go with me. That's a plan!

Maybe while I'm at it I'll go and get one of those excerise(I really can't spell right now) balls that I hear so much about. :)

Were you scared of storms?

When Jeremy left for work this morning a thunderstorm showed up. I was reading a book before I went to sleep and heard a big clap of thunder. Well, that woke up Christian. He came running to my room. He was so scared! He ended up sleeping with me. He was actually so tired that he slept with the light on just fine while I continued to read my book. By the way I'm reading Velocity by Dean Koontz, so far it's good.

I know tons of children and some adults are terrified by storms. It's just a foreign concept to me though. I've always loved storms. Hell, at one time I wanted to be a storm chaser. I've done everything I can to let my kids know that thunderstorms are just a part of life here. They're going to happen. When ever we have tornado warnings I don't get worked up about them. I talk about what's going on with the weather and reasons we have to go to the basement.

He is still terrified of these things. Just something I wondered about today. :)

He missed his first game today. :(

And it was all my fault. :( It rained today so I wasn't sure if they would have their t ball game today. I called his coach and left a message on his voice mail confirming plus I needed times for the jamboree this weekend. He never called me back. Well, there was water standing on my sidewalk about 30 mins prior to his game. I figured that the field would be too muddy to play. I went to Subway and drove by and low and behold they were having the game. I feel so bad. He doesn't know that he missed it but I do. I guess he'll be okay with missing one game. At least I hope so. :(

I love Subway and would eat there everyday if I could. Chicken and Bacon Ranch Sub toasted is awesome! Took me forever to try a different sub then what I was used to getting.

Jeremy cheated on his diet today. He had hot wings and pizza. Tomorrow I'm sure I'll have something healthier for him to eat. He said that his stomach has been bothering him since he went healthy. I told him it's probably because his body is just not used to it. Am I right?

Our friend and his little girl came over tonight. He has our boat so he had to come get the sticker things that we got when we paid the taxes and registration stuff. I for the life of me cannot remember what they are called. It's tired and I'm late. :)

As soon as he walked in the door Spidey(our cat) hunkered down in attack mode. I swear he went from playing to hateful in 3.2 seconds! I don't know what is wrong with him. I'm thinking of the possibility that he smells his dog on him. He does the neighbor kids the same way and they have a dog. I had to put him in the utility room. I only got him out after they left. I was putting Christian to bed and came back in here to burn a CD and heard Christian sceaming. The cat was attacking him. He told me that he wasn't doing anything and I believe him. The cat attacked me last night and I wasn't even moving.

His cat toys are in his house and I throw his ball too him so he can play but I'm about to go out of my mind. I love this kitty to death but I can't keep a ticking time bomb like this. When he attacks he uses his teeth and they hurt. I swear he's like a damned snapping turtle! Once he gets a hold of you he won't let go! Any suggestions? I would really appreciate it to hear them. He's not a yr old so that may be it. None of my other cats did this like this. Of course they hid under the chair and waited for you to come by with your panty hose on and then BAM you now have a run in your hose. lol This one does it no matter what! The only person he hasn't attacked has been Caitlyn. He loves her. She can poke, prod, and pull. The cat just sits there.

I don't know how to make him better. :(

Chucke Cheese

Yesterday was supposed to be a day of relaxing, hanging out, and doing nothing. That's not what happened! The kids and I went to Church then went over to my MIL's because Jeremy was fixing their tiller. His dad called to see if we wanted to go get something to eat. We agreed. Caitlyn and I came home and I had to get mine and Christian's jeans in the dryer. I only have one good pair(sad I know) and Christian had used his. Waited on them went to pick Christian up at MIL's because I had forgotten to get his car seat out of Jeremy's truck before we went to church. My MIL picks him up for Sunday school and she has her own car seat.

We get to FIL's house and they ask where we want to eat. Christian immediately goes for Chucke Cheeses. Ugh. I don't like their pizza. So we make a compromise, go eat at Outback and then go to Chucke Cheeses so he can play. He's not happy about it but agrees.

Oh my God!! lol He runs in and is in such amazement he tries to run off. FIL gets him some tokens and he just has at it. He's having a big time and me not so much. If I had worn comfortable shoes it would have been better but I had been in "heels" all day. During church I wore my actual heels and for the rest of the day I wore my boots which have a thick heel on them. Christian had a big time and now wants a birthday party there. Checked into it. They want $9.99 per kid and that's for a standard. He'll be in Kindergarten on his next birthday so I know we'll have to invite the kids from his class. Yeah, too expensive for my taste. I love my child but his birthday is in Dec. So, maybe we'll go bowling instead?

By the end of his time, he had won 86 tickets and was eating cotton candy out the door. Both kids fell asleep in the car 20 mins after we took off. They were too excited.

Jeremy decided we still needed to go to Wal Mart. The kids have been asleep for an hour. Since Jeremy had his problem we've been watching a little better about what we're eating. We bought all kinds of stuff for his bucket(lunch box) for work. Now he's got celery sticks, carrot sticks, granola bars, apple sauce, fat free pudding, and some V8 drinks. I'll probably make some kind of chicken bake for dinner tonight. Not sure what yet. Christian was ok but Caitlyn was sooooooo tired.

I hope that made any sense. My thoughts are not being put together well today for some reason. Have a great day and so far my day has been pretty good. :)

Saturday, May 06, 2006

I forgot to add these when I posted earlier...

Caitlyn watching cartoons.


She's getting sleepy...she went for a nap shortly after this was taken.


Another of my boys. Christian ended up catching 2 Bass but Jeremy didn't catch anything. *snicker* :)

Pics of the day....

These are some pics I just took of Caitlyn...I know she doesn't match but we aren't going anywhere anyway.
She had just finished crying when I took this one.


She wanted to look at the camara closer. lol


I love her smile. Look at her cheeks!


She was laying her head in my lap.


Jeremy and Christian came home for a break. I took this when they were getting ready to go again. So far they haven't caught anything but they still got the rest of the afternoon to catch something.

My MIL is coming over to mow the yard so I better get off here but so far its been a nice day. :)

Thanks for all the well wishes and good thoughts!

He is feeling much better today! I'm so glad. You guys Rock! I know where I can turn if things go sour for me or my family.

He is out with Christian right now fishing. So it's just me and Caitlyn hanging out right now. Of course she wants to be held ALL THE TIME. I'm going to get the camara out in a few and take pics. Gotta go for now though cause she's just not happy!

Jeremy had to go to the hospital last night!!!!!!

He was at work and started having chest pains and couldn't breathe. The first thing they thought was heart attack. They called an ambulance and my FIL called my MIL. She called me and told me that they were coming over and my step FIL was going to take me to the hospital. She said that he was OK and not to worry. When she started talking about the ambulance I got a very sour pit in my stomach. I wanted to throw up! This was at 1:30am. They only live about 10-15 min away and the drive to the hospital is about 45 min away. LONGEST time of my life! Of course my SFIL was driving 70 to get to the hospital. I tell you with that long of a ride it really gives you time to think. I bet I thought up the worst case senario 50 times on the way there, each time breaking down in a fit of crying.

We got to the hospital and the nurse in the ER pointed me in the right direction. He was still in his work clothes, well, at least his bibs, they had taken his shirt off so they could monitor his heart. His face and his hands were black from the rock and coal dust from work. His chest was white as a ghost. (It's funny now) They had already given him some chewable aspirins, shot of morphine, and a pill/shot(not sure which) of nitro gliceren(spelling?). Blood work galore. They were thinking three things; heart attack, blood clot, or pulled muscle. The ER doc was trying to be really cautous. He had told Jeremy that he had his first heart attack at age 36 and Jeremy is 32. I was still really scared. After a couple of hours they decide to admit him to run more tests. About 10:30am they did a stress test. He passed with flying colors. It was definately NOT his heart.

We are home now and don't know what caused it but I'm truly glad to have him home!

Ballgames are tiresome but LOADS of fun!!

We haven't been home too long after his second ballgame. He did really great! Of course, he was catching butterflies while in the outfield, dancing, and chatting it up to other players but hey he had a blast. He also looked super cute in his uniform! :) At this stage there are no scores and everyone gets to bat. Today he actually hit the ball off the pitching machine! I'm soooooooooo proud of him. I'm just sad that his daddy missed it. :( I took video but when I watched it on the TV the quality is so poor you really can't tell anything.

Oh well, just wanted to say how it went the last couple of days and that I'm proud!

Found the reason for the leak!!!!

Jeremy got up this morning and took down the leaking line that has now leaked so much water I'll have to throw out so many things. He took it down and showed me the leaks. The flippin CAT has been chewing on it!!!!! I don't understand it. He gets fresh water everyday, food, and love but he still has this need that he has to chew up a water line. WTF??? I don't know what to make of this really I don't. Jeremy was so ready to kick him out of the house when he saw that. GRRRR....damned cat is all I can say. Even though the cat did it, while Jeremy was putting the new one in the cat was in my lap and purring happily and right now he's taking a little nap in front of the door.

Please have some good thoughts for my son. His first ballgame is today. I'm more nervous than him but he has never been to one before much less played in one. I hope that he keeps loving the game! :)
