Long time, no talk

I can't beleive I have not posted in 11 days, you guys must be missing me?! I can see that I did not get any responses to my Valentine request! I did however receive roses for V day. Danny gave then to me. And although we are not really seeing each other it was a sweet gesture.
The Cub Scouts had their Pinewood Derby on Sunday. My son Feret won first place in his den and in the pack race as well. He will go on to race at District on March 7th. His car came in 1st in every race it was in!
My car was reposessed on Friday and I had to drive all the way to Port Charlotte to pick up my things. I was stressing for about an hour after I found out but then I realised this is the best thing that has happened to me. I will be able to start fresh with no car payment. A guy at work has a brother that has a Mustang for sale and the price is almost right. Other than not having a car this week things are going fine.
Baby was sick with the "pukes and shoots" this past weekend but he is good to go now. I just hope the other two boys don't get it!
I have yet again been promised money from their Dad. Don't worry I am not holding my breath!
My Mom has been giving me a ride to and from work so at least I can still do that. I Love You Mom and Dad. Your the Best!
My Mom has had some Dr's apointments latly and they tell her that she needs surgery on her back. Something like fusing the spine bones together. She will be doing it in the mddle of March! Say a Prayer for her , will ya.
Ok, I'm gonna get back to work. I'll let you know about the car when I find out more.

Not too much going on these days. Keeping busy though. I despretly need to spring clean my house. It's hard to do when the kids are there though, they always have the t.v. on or are playing on the computer or something. Very distracting.
Valentine's day is coming up this Tuesday. And we all know that I don't have one so I would appreciate some "I Love You"s! Even if you don't really mean it! Ok that is just a joke. I don't need any un-necesary love comments. I know my three sons will love me for the rest of their lives so that good enough for me!
ta ta for now...

Hello Lady

Busy as usual. Had our Blue and Gold Dinner and I think every thing was great. Good food, great people and lots of awards. I also filed our recharter. Lots of chasing down signatures but its all done. We are down to ten scouts, of which six are in my den. I must be doing something right!
This month is our Pine wood derby and I have yet to pick up the track. I finally got ahold of the leader who has it and got her address so I think I will try for this weekend.
Yesterday my car ran out of gas on the way to work. I managed to start it back up and prayed I would make it across six lanes of traffic to the gas station. It really was a surprise to me. This morning I dropped the boys off and headed to work and all of a sudden I hear this loud bang. Then I look in my rear view mirror to see what happened and all I saw was smoke. I had terrible flashbacks to when my Mustang caught fire in Ft. Myers a long time ago. So I pulled over. I thought for sure it was a tire but the tires were fine. I popped the hood and see that the water hose had split and was no longer attached to the radiator. Damn! I looked it the trunk for some duck tape but found none. I was about 5 miles from work so I high-tailed it out of there and by the time I got to work the car was overheating. I knew I shouldn't have said anything about getting a new car while it could hear me! The guys at work took a look at it and told me what part I needed so I called the auto parts stores and none of them had one. Finally I found one that did and when I was on the hone with him the guy at work comes in with this shredded wire and rubber thing. It was the belt from the water pump! Damn again! Then 10 min. later I get a call from the school nurse. I have to pick up Feret cause he's running a fever. So no car to drive and no boss in the office. I call the manager and tell him I have to take one of the company trucks to pick up my son. He tells me to lock the front door and so that what I did. I picked up the hose but they didn't have the belt. So I went to get my son and then I dropped him off at home. Then I went to work but on the way there was another parts store on the way so I stopped in there to get a belt. Now I have to wait for the guys at work to get back to the shop so they can fix it. What a day!
Hopefully this weekend will be better!
