Well, Sunday me and Gracie took Tonjia to Chelsea to meet an online friend of hers…so it was just me and the kids for a few days…and we had a really nice time…isnt it funny how kids are so much nicer when their parents are gone?…thats fine with me, more good times with grandma…lol…she was supposed to come home tuesday…well I woke up tuesday with no cigs…( that always sucks when that happens) so I looked around for some change and a coupon…and got Molly( my pup) in the truck for her first ride…figured I'd start her young…I like riding dogs…anyway, so I tell the kids I'll be right back, just goin' to the store for some smokes….and off we go…got the cigs…talked with the lady who works for awhile ( thats whats so nice about a small town…you can talk to everyone…its real friendly) go back outside and go to start the truck and NUTHIN!!! oh shit…this is not good…lol so I get out open the hood and start checking battery cables and stuff…( every once in a while it wont start and Tonjia wiggles something under there…seems like she said it was battery cables…but nope they are real snug…hmm so naturally i start messing with everything under there…cause something is bound to work…the sun is HOT!!! and the puppy is crying…she's about done with this riding shit….a couple of people pull up but no one asks if I need help…no biggie, im not used to getting help…lol ….but the kids are home alone and im starting to get worried…so I call Tonjia( like she can help from where shes at lol) …but its always nice to have someone on the phone when you have a problem…you got to have someone to laugh about it with…shes not answering…hmm…nothin to do but get back under the hood and pray for guidance…lol  finally I saw something interesting and tried that…run to turn on the key…vroom vrooom …AWESOME!!!!! I did it….not sure what I did, but who cares,,,I did it…when I get inside the store to let the lady know everything was fine,,,another woman had shown up and looked at the truck,,, my greasy hands  ,,,,and said,,,I always knew women were smarter than men !!!LMAO!!!Of course this is all amusing as hell to me,,,specially since I was about to be walking home with a pup who isnt really trained well on the lead…Im just happy I hit the right thing…lol…jump in and head for the house…and theres Tonjia just gettin' dropped off…HEY GIRL!!! I been broke down…course she laughs,,,cause we always laugh at goofy stuff like that….lol thats just how life goes… …………So Im writing this for everyone because you know we lost the internet…and Tonjia got us this great deal on dial up…LMAO!!!! But sometime tomorrow we'll be getting our high speed back…and boy will I be happy…it is so hard to get someones page to come up with this stuff…I've spent hours trying to send a few graphics…I bet I'll feel like Im on the freeway tomorrow…lol…and I'll be so damn HAPPY!!! Well, I have a pup at my feet, a kitten in my lap, Tonjia jammin' in the next room and Layne and Gracie playing Oblivion in the living room…Ty is dow the road being a teenager…and my son should be calling me any minute to bitch at me about how I never answer the phone when he needs me…I'm sorry, but I find it very uncomfortable walking around with a phone up my ass…and I dont answer it when Im driving either…but he always likes to call and fuss about how I never answer the phone…him and my mom…you ought to hear the messages they leave…who wants to answer  a phone when youre just gonna get bitched at…??? NOT ME!!!!thats for damn sure…lol anyway hope ya'll have a nice day…Love & Light,,,,Shadow
