runAWAY

Ok .. MIA … I’ve been asked about blogging. And What happened? Well at work I can’t upload anything to my blog .. I can’t even view it. So this leaves at home time. With 3 kids … there isn’t any ME time .. so there is no blog time.

So .. I’m writing this up at work .. then I’m going to post it tonight at home.

Whats been going on you ask

Littleb turned FIVE. BabyJ turned ONE and BigB turned EIGHT. School ended. I started working from home 2 days per week … and that is DIFFICULT without any help … I get very stressed because nothing gets the attention it deserves. I scramble to Work, feed kids, try and entertain, give naps, feed bottles and clean clean clean. The house is forever messy with us all home. I end up working strange hours especially after the kids go to bed .. which sucks for me. AND I TURNED THIRTY SIX .. blah

The boys are with their Dad for 2 weeks .. so maybe this will give me a chance to catch up .. But I sit there lonely and missing them like crazy. This is just killing me to be away from them. I pick them up on Wednesday for a couple hours .. but then have to return them to the EX …..

Thursday my Mother is having surgery on her brain aneurism. My brother is coming into town and I am taking the day off. IT is supposed to be a minor surgery .. no cuts on her head ..all done via the groin area. Cross your fingers all works out.

Went to the spa on Saturday with my bestest ever friend ever. We chatted for hours and it was so wonderful. Being with her away from the daily stresses was more relaxing then the massage .. not that the massage was bad or anything. It was just great to sit, chat and have coffee, get massages and then come back to reality. Smooches to you BFF …. My heart belongs to you!

June .. what happened to June. Its already on the downside of summer .. I view the year as a big circle .. The summer being on the top …. And now after the 15th of July we are headed back down the rest of the year. And HOT its been so HOT so miserably hot here. I wish for it to be 75 degrees all the time …

We went on our 4th of July camping trip again this year .. however it held much drama for us.

Thursday the 29th of June I worked from home and packed the camper... Plan was to Leave at 2:00ish

We left about 3:30 .. not too bad .. met up at the beginning of the mountain with everyone .. Filled up w/ Gas

BigB decided that he wanted to Ride in our Friend 350,000$ motorhome . it’s about 35 Feet .. they were pulling all the ATV's in their 30 foot trailer attached ...

D (my 8 year old niece) and her friend J rode in there too.

We were coming out of a tunnel and its straight down hill..... We see Sean almost clip a semi w/ the trailer ..... Then our friend calls and states that they have lost ALL THERE BRAKES!!!!!

they have 4 miles of heavy traffic to go to the next run away truck ramp. He is in and out of traffic ... all 70 feet of him .. I'm in hysterics and I think in shock. I'm watching my son in a motor home that is out of control. We lose them around a corner ... then we see them FLYING .. literally all 70 feet in the air as they hit the ramp. I'm screaming .. Hijo is freaking .... its unreal .. I don't know what to do .......

they go 852 feet up the ramp .. then start sliding back down. I'm thinking they are going to roll over the edge ... then it stops ..... and I see the driver get out ... but no kids??? we had pulled over and Hijo was running up the ramp. I had to stay back w/ the kids .. plus I was pretty much in shock. Our friend calls to say the kids are okay and then I see them getting out .....

I lose it right there .. hysterically crying and thanking GOD. What a miracle I had just witnessed ....... when he hit the ramp . he was going 108 MPH .... NO BRAKES!!!

ahhh .... deep breaths. It took about 5 hours to get them back down and the Motorhome is TRASHED. The trailer has nothing wrong with it. But .. that is what insurance is for.



So they stay the night in the town we were closest too ... and then headed home the next day. We drove on to our friends house and made it about 3:30am. Hijo had so much adreniline that he made it just fine. I slept a bit ... but it was hard as I was pretty worked up too.

So all is good ... we are having fun. Then T my 13 year old niece (D's sister) comes running over all bloody and a HUGE bump on her eye and its already black and blue and she can't remember anything. She was riding her little sister's 4wheeler (identical to Littleb's) and flew off ... w/ NO helmet, in a bathing suit and flip flops ... WTF? Anyways .. we showered her off .. she had scrapes everywhere .. they took her to the doc in the small town and they ended up flying her out by helicopter to the biggest town Grand Junction and she had a cat scan .. all is okay . but still a reason to yell at those darn kids as to why they MUST wear a helmet!!!!!!!!!!




So that was amazing eh? I still think I’m feeling the effects of all the emotions .. it kinda put me into a slump .. and I’m trying to dig my way out. I’m just really blah! I always think of things and say .. “I should blog about that” .. but then .. you know I just don’t get the time to type up an entry! I will try harder and make this a priority. Since I’m in a slump .. it might help keeping the blog to get out my feelings a tad ? who knows? I should just see if it’ll help!
