Well then, thanks to Tech I am making a post. Stuff has been a bit busy. My trip to Redding, California, was...long. We left at 7:30am and returned back home at 10pm. We hit almost every form of weather except for sunshine. *sigh* My hands were a little sore from white knuckling the steering wheel, but that was about it. My mom is here, and safe. He car is totalled however. We made a quick stop to see it and take some pictures. It's toast. I cannot believe she came out of that without so much as a bruise or a scratch. Maybe, now, she will believe in God.
I had a bit of a confrontation with my daughters father. He called me at work and asked why I would not let Rachel go with him to Vegas. It was a frustrating conversation. How do you get someone to understand that value of a child's welfare when they have no sense of their own? He just doesn't get it. I am to the point where I am not so sure I care if he does or not.
Today is Friday...Make it great!
A. Seven things to do before I die
1. See my daughter grown, full of joy, peace, health, Faith and love.
2. Experience Love and life with a man that "gets it"
3. Travel. Everywhere.
4. Build a cozy home of my own in the woods. (I have a home, in the woods, but I want a slightly bigger one. One that can be shared with said "man" and lots of extra room for my daughter to come visit with her own family :)
5. Attempt, yet again, to write that book.
6. Get that book published.
7. Make sure that those that I care for, know it.
B. Seven things I cannot do
1. Snap my fingers.
2. Ski. And I have no desire to do so.
3. Make homemade gravy. I have tried. Maybe I should add that to my list of things to do before I die?
4. Eat cooked Broccoli.
5. Trust, when I have been hurt.
6. Walk away when someone needs me.
7. Bungee jump. (Ok...I was reaching with that one. But seriously, I could not do that. I mean, don't we free fall enough in daily life? Certainly I don't need to do it on purpose.)

I'm glad your mom wasn't hurt, too. My son will start driving next fall and I'm thinking I'll buy him a tank, although a cement truck might be cheaper...
I love Pirates of the Carribbean..I can't believe I didn't put that one on my meme.
Thanks Frenzied, I am glad we made it back too. Well, her car is no more, so my sis in California is going to give her one of hers. I am not sure her having a vehicle is a good thing, but hopefully she will only use it to go short distances instead of 900 miles to see me. She will be flying on her return trip to California.
Rachel's father doesn;t really take anything into consideration except his own feelings. He wants what he wants and no one else matters. Including his daughter. It is sad but it is true. To be honest, it isn't just her that isn't thrilled with idea of going, but myself. I had to have a restraining order on him when we first divorced because he tried to leave with her. As in "I wouldn't see her again" kind of thing. He isn't allowed, by court order, to take her more than 150 miles from her primary home, me, without written consent. I am not going to consent for him to take her 2 states away. It isn't the marriage I am opposed to, God Bless his new wife, I am opposed to someone who has had less contact with her than the toothfairy. If the marriage was taking place closer by, I wouldn't have a problem.
We do have a lot in common don't we? :)
My prayers and well wishes go out to you Crystal. I am not looking forward to the day when Rachel drives. Sheesh. My daughter already has a few cars picked out, but I am thinking that your idea on the tank, sounds much better!
Pirates of the Caribbean is coming out with two more movies (sequels but they look more like new adventures with the same cast and all) I can't wait!
I saw the trailer for the new Pirates of the Carribbean. I can't believe I have to wait until this summer to see it!
I know...they start teasing you with stuff so far in advance these days. But the trailer looks so good!
