Crawfish Festival

Tonight we went to the crawfish festival. Nope I didn't break the heads off and suck anything out.
I'm normally the type of person that well try anything once twice if it is good. But those little buggers I just won't try.
The boys got to see Nascar #8 and the Hotties, they wouldn't talk nor take a picture with them.


We heard a few different bands, two were awesome.
Villebillies & Uncle Kracker


Needless to say, my voice is hoarse, my ears are ringing, but I had a great time. Connor had a blast dancing. Jacob was embarrassed. Got to love the fact that when they get older they get embarrassed so easily.
I took Loads of Pictures which I will upload later, but for now, I'm going to bed, cause I'm not as young as I use to be.

New Orleans Trip

So we drove too New Orleans to go to this 3 story mall. There was a 24 Annual French Quarter Festival going on so the road to the Mall was closed off. We couldn't find parking so we just drove around.
Some of the photos are of how close the houses/businesses are together.
One is of the fence if you tried to climb into this persons backyard OUCH.
And the VW Bug was for sale. Come on, lets say Dream Car. LMAO!
Some nice art on a building and a statue, there was more there, but the traffic/people was horrible and I didn't get much. Sorry!
If and when we go back I will get more photos!

SC Trip

Short Version: Ole Lady (Grandma) is getting back to normal. She has someone to take care of her and we came back as a family no grey hound etc.....
Didn't make it to the beach, I did see Pearl and her family. That was the best part!

Warning: LONG!!! If you know my family history all of this is normal for them:

The drive up was good.
I was talking to my friend Randi in Guam and Mike woke up and the sign said Macon/Tampa 285. Well that was my exit, he said it wasn't because it said Tampa. He was going insane thinking how in the hell I drove to Tampa. So about 30 minutes later I finally got back on the right road towards Macon/Tampa. It was funny.
We stopped at a rest area and slept for a few hours, then finished up our trip to Florence SC. Grandma didn't get out of the hospital Thursday Morning like they said she would. She didn't get out until Saturday afternoon around lunch time. Some how she was having mental problems, they didn't know what or how it was caused. She said she was talking to people that weren't there, she was angry as some lady looking at her, and come to find out she was looking at herself in the mirror.
Friday Morning we called before we got off the interstate to see if she was going home she said no not until tomorrow morning (Sat). So we got a hotel room with an indoor pool. *Remind me I still need to complain on that hotel it sucked butt.We went to see her at the hospital and she didn't look right mentally and physically. She was going in and out of sleep talking out her ass. Tammy (Step mother, Adoptive Dads Wife) called and asked how she was doing. I said not too good, they don't know what is wrong with her. So Tammy said they were on their way up. (Sammie~Sister, Luke~Brother, Bobby~Adoptive Father, Aubrey~Uncle)
Before they got there the nurses figured out that her blood pressure and blood sugar were very low. They corrected the blood pressure and then the blood sugar went lower, finally Friday Afternoon they got it all corrected and she wasn't talking out her ass as much.
I asked Aubrey what he wanted to do if Grandma died, live with us in MS or live with Bobby & Tammy, he said he wants to live alone and travel the world. I asked him how since he can't drive, he said walk.
I got into 2 fights with Bobby. 1 about what Grandma said she wanted if she died. The other because he thought I was trying to steal Sammie. Mike stood up for me (I have always told him I would take care of the fights, I finally told him he could help me). Mike said he was tired of the way they treated me and all the name calling. Bobby yelled I haven't called her I can't hold my hand up to my ear. He was thinking about talking on the phone. Then Mike said something else and Bobby got up out of his wheel chair and told Mike we can settle this right here like men. Tammy jumped in the middle like they were really going to fight, telling Bobby he needed to sit down. Mike and I looked at each other like what the hell. At this point, I told him lets go, this is bullshit, we got the boys out of my grandmas room and we started to leave. Ms Debbie Grandma's nurse said she would call if anything change with her and she gave me her number.
Bobby is yelling we can take this out to the parking lot if you like. I looked at Mike and said he is left handed he can't hold the phone how in the hell is he going to hit you. We were both thinking WTF?????
My sister was suppose to go with us to Pearl's house and then back to the hotel, but that didn't happen.
We went to lunch then we went to the hotel to swim, Sammie did finally come because her mom felt back for everything that happen. While we were there, Bobby called over and over again to Tammy. We got done with Swimming took Tammy & Sammie back to the hospital to see Grandma, they didn't know how to get there. Then we left after visiting a bit longer. My Grandma at this time is still a little nuts, she kept telling the nurses she was going home and trying to climb over the bedrails. Oh she said she doesn't trust me and that I'm playing April Fool's Day tricks on her, but she trusts Mike.When leaving the hospital, Bobby calls Tammy and tells her to tell Mike he is sorry for the way he acted, he didn't say I'm sorry to me, just Mike.
We left there and went to Pearls house. I got to talk with them and Summer wasn't home so I got to talk with Kevin and play with their little girl Gracey. (Kevin~ex boyfriend of 7 years I was suppose to marry him, instead I married Mike, Pearl~Kevin's mom she thinks of me as a daughter even after I dumped her son, Chuck~Kevin's Stepfather, Gracey~Kevin's Daughter, Summer~Kevin's Wife, they are having problems and she hates me with a purple passion, Dylan~Kevin's Son, we didn't get to meet him) Mike and Kevin got along great, I was happy to see them being friends. Jacob enjoyed Gracey. Connor was asleep the entire time because of swimming et.... We left Pearl's went to get Supper and then to bed.
End of Friday
Saturday morning we went to Target, I forgot to pack socks, oops. It was chilly up there.
Then we went to the hospital to see grandma at the hospital. She was still acting a little weird, but they were sending her home anyway. They said Physically she is fine but Mentally no. It is a catch 20/20 they can send her home because she is better physically, they can't keep her for the mental part. So I talked with a mental health nurse she said there isn't anything we can do. She can go home.
Finally she got released, she got 3 pages of drugs. I took her over to Pearls cause Pearl wanted to see her. I got to play with Gracey again. I walked over to Kevins house and his wife was leaving to go to the grocery store. The boys asked Kevin if they could play on the trampoline and swing set. I talked with Summer for about a minute. She said I'm going to the grocery store, Gracey and Kevin are in the house, Gracey is in the high chair. She didn't know who I was. Mike and Kevin talked maybe 5 minutes outside before she called the house and he went in the house to talk with her. Needless to say I don't think she went to the grocery store after it hit her who was at her house. I had went back over to Pearl's with the baby. When I went to tell Kevin bye and thanks for letting the boys play my grandma took it as I was whoring around on Mike and got pissed at me. Mike said she was saying all type of things to him. Not actually calling me a whore, slut, tramp etc..., but was hinting at it. So I with Connor and Mike said Thanks. I also said thanks for the 3-some in the front yard. Mike joined in and said it was great lets do it again sometime. Laughing!!! We stayed about 30 minutes then we went back to Grandmas house. On the way we had to stop and get her drugs in Latta. The drug store was closed so we went straight to her house.
Sammie, Luke, Tammy & Aubrey was already there. We went in. I asked Sammie to ask Tammy if she could go to Kings with us. (YUMMY SUPER SUB). Tammy said Yes. We left went to CVS to drop off the drugs to get filled. While that was going on we went to Kings. While at Kings Tammy called my cell over 10 times. I finally called her back and she said where are you. I said we are back at CVS and Mike is getting Grandma's Drugs, she said what is taking so long, I said um, you said we could take Sammie out to eat. She said but I'm cooking, I said So, you knew what we were doing. Later she yelled at Sammie for eating at Kings. Come to find out Tammy doesn't cook at home, the only food Sammie gets to eat is at School during Lunch and Breakfast. School is out for Spring Break, so we gave Sammie the money Grandma gave us for the drugs (It wasn't enough to pay for the drugs away $7.00 ha ha that was funny it cost $20)
We got back to Grandmas and she was a little upset that we weren't spending the night. I told her before that Mike has to be back to Work Monday and I wanted to give him enough time to relax. I was telling everyone bye and my Grandmas Roc got loose. This huge dog, bit my elbow, I have teeth bruises on it and a little scratch. I also have bruises on my leg. I don't remember if it bite my leg or scratched me with its huge paw. I was soo pissed. I was just thinking how in the hell do you think I'm suppose to let my kids stay in a house with a dog that bites people. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.My grandmother is still a little nuts she wants to drive and can't for 3 weeks.
So in the 2 short days I was there, Mike was God, The kids are beautiful, well behaved, and I'm a Bitch, Slut, Whore, Tramp, bad wife, mother, daughter, granddaughter, and sister.
I So love my family!
Pearl said we can't wait 10 years to come back, she doesn't care what Summer thinks, we Mike, the boys & I are family. That was my trip to SC!!!

See told you it was Long!!
