So me being the restaurant jinx has struck again. UGH.Tonight we went to Bass Pro Shop with friends. Kids had a blast. We were all hungry and Red Robin was not 10 minutes away. Greg had been wanting to try them for forever and I hadn't been to one since I was in the eighth grade. In 1993. Nineteen ninety three. So we went. It was Saturday and we had a party of 10 so when we pulled in we expected to wait , A LOT , but we only waited about 15 minutes. They sat us and we waited for our server to come and get our drink orders. We waited and waited and waited and waited. 20 minutes later I ha enough and called over a poor young man who was hosting . I told the host. " We got sat 15-20 minutes ago and no one has been by please get someone here to take our order , thank you. I was pleasant, heck I was freaking nice as a spring day.
All of a sudden we see some people talking a manager looking annoyed and someone came over to the table about 3 or 4 minutes later. She took our drink orders and we neversaw her again . Some other young chippy brought our drinks and took our order. It was all good. Then I look over at my friends drink glass and it is dirty , like really dirty. We tell the server she brings him along with everyone else at the table new drinks. Good thing she did because then I see my glass is gross. Strike 2, but wait folks it gets better. Food comes out , which took forever and Kaitlyn has no fork for her spaghetti. My food is wrong way wrong. There are those nasty red circles also known as tomatoes on my burger. EWWWWW, She brings it back. I tell her still didn't get my ranch dressing for my fries,which in the long run I still wish I hadn't.
I finally get my ranch , go to dip my fry in and hit the jackpot. I tell you the jackpot. There was hair in it. 2 dark curly hairs. Ding , ding , ding we have a winner. I lost it. That was it for me y'all. I called the server over showed her the ranch and asked her to get the manager. i was done. He came over an I told him about my adventurous night. He bought our checks. I ate sandwich when we got home.I shouldn't go out to eat , because something always happens. Remind me to tell you one day about some off my other experiences. This was mild compared things have happened.

I have the most amazing daughter that God has ever created. She is the funniest smartest , toughest creature. God could have ever have blessed me with.
It was 3 weeks before the wedding in fact on Valentines day 2004, I was at work at IHOP and was miserable. I ha the flu was sure of it. But Miss Sandy , one of the ladies I work with made me promise to take a pregnancy test before i took the NyQuil I was planning on taking. I promised, really thinking nothing of it other then needing sleep.I felt awful. So on the way back to our apartment, we stopped at Winn -Dixie and got DayQuil, NyQuil , tissues, and a pregnancy test.I went home showered the yuck of the day and the syrup. There was always syrup after a day of work at IHOP, everywhere . Could never understand it. Anywho before I got in the shower took the test placed it on the back of the toilet and showered. I got out and looked at the test and got the shock of my life. Two lines. I yelled for Greg, he came in and looked. We were both in shock.
3 weeks later , we got married as we had been planning for 18 months before. She was born that October. She being the most stubborn child ever was over due by a week so they induced. Stubborn girl wouldn't come out and was born by a c-section 24 hours later. And she was perfect. 6 pounds 13 ounces 19 inches long. 10 fingers 10 toes and perfect.
Greg treated her like a princess for the first few weeks. He was afraid she would break. Once she got to the age that she could do things they rough housed. And that is what they still do ;O). She is an amzing soccer player . OMG!! She rocked soccer this year. She playedd teeball for the last 3 years , this year is switching over to softball and not happy about it. She will live. SHe loves sports and loves to play games and loves all things boy. She is the biggest tomboy ever. She will tell you that. She loves music and loves to laugh and she is what makes me world go round. She amazes me all day everyday. She is the best thing ever.

In November of 2011 at a bowling alley in Orange Park, Florida I meet the man, the man who would love me like no other ever had or ever would and it changed me for forever. I would love to say our love story started out with a bang but it didn't. In fact not even close.
I was on the alley getting ready to bowl, waiting for the player to my left to finish. I hear behind me i the voice of Kitty ( the crazy lady lived with < story for later> ). I hear her say to someone " Do you have a girlfriend? Do you have a job? A car? I thought I was going to die. I have never ,ever been so embarrassed in my entire life , and actually still to this day. I heard her offer to pay him for the date , the gas , the food, movies , and pay him!!!! I felt like a $2.00 hooker on her night off. But you know what? It is the thing I am most grateful for in my life.
We went out that Saturday. We went to Carrabba's Italian food and Spiderman. it was awful. I was yawning,I was doing everything to get to go home. And I was miserable. We really thought when he dropped me off we would never, ever see each other again.Maybe at the bowling alley but I really thought that was it. Crap was I wrong.We bowled against another team about 3 or 4 weeks late team later that was next to his team. I hear Kitty tell her husband Luis something and then I see her talking to Greg and then she disappeared. Greg came up to me and said," Kitty said to take you home" We still had one more game to bowl. SHE LEFT!!!!!!! WTF? Well this happened in one way or another for a month. We would go eat at IHOP or Denny's and talk. we eventually started to have feelings for each other and then decided to go on another "date" a real date. And that night changed everything for me . We went downtown to go to The American Cafe in Jacksonville on the water. It was great. it started to rain on the way home. His windshield wipers didn't work . We ended up driving to his house ( he lived with his parents)and we kissed , like a couple of teenagers for hours. I in an instant knew that I had more feelings for this man , real , deep feelings then I had ever had for any one ever in my life. Greg brought me back to life. Made me a real live woman. And for that I will always be grateful. He is my magic and my love

18 Months
It has been more than 18 months since I last blogged . WTH? Busy life and stuff happens. So much to talk about but I don't think I am going to play catch up. I think I am going to just be in the present . Something I never do enough of. I have lived a lot of the past 13 or 14 years being so angry and hurt and emotional over the things that happened while I was growing up.Things that to be a full and round person I finally have to let go off. I thought I let it go a long time ago but I obviously didn't.I still get really angry at Peggy. She knew what my mother the one who was supposed to care for me above all others was doing to me. She knew what I was going through and didn't stop her, hell didn't even come close to trying. I am still angry at Karen and Bob and Billy, they didn't step in either.That was more than 10 years ago when it all stopped. I left on December 5, 1998. Just looking at that date in "print" makes me realize how long ago it really was and how I have to let go. My marriage has suffered because of it. My children have suffered because of it. My relationship with mother and father in law is crap because of it. I can't trust anyone ever. I am always afraid. Afraid to stand up to someone because I am scared of what they will do. Afraid of turning in to her, turning into a monster. But a monster I am. I want so desperately to change to be the perfect wife and mother. I am promising myself to work and work hard every day from now on. I won't call it my new years resolution, because that will make it fail I will call it a promise to myself. And I hope more than anything else this is a promise I can keep.
