May

Well.... lets see On May 1st Hubby and I celebrated our 15th anniversary ! whoo hoo can't believe we made it this long. I think we have come to an understanding of sorts  lmao 

I worked that day and when I was at the gas station filling the car I got a phone call from my VERY upset and distraught niece. She was crying and telling me that her apartment building was on fire and burning down as she and others watched helplessly! I felt helpless myself since I am all the way down here in FL and she is in Asheville NC. I tried to get info on the web and her news station only had a banner across the top of their web page with Apartment fire news at 11 which only made me more anxious ! It was a total loss and it took hours to put out. It started on the second floor, No smoke alarms went off. One of the tenants smelled smoke and called 911. Everyone was able to get out, one woman jumped from her second floor and broke her ankle. Could have been worse .

So now my Niece and her 3 year old daughter are living with my Sister until they get an apartment. People have been donating and it is greatly appreciated. My 3 yr. old Great Niece told her mommy that her apartment is Broken awwwww.I am hopeful that she is so young that she won't remember anything or at least very little.

On the Sunday before Mothers Day we met up with Husbeast's Brothers and went to see the Iron Man movie. It was great! We don't go to many movies since our tastes are so varied and there is so little time to go with our schedules. Mother in Law was supposed to go too but wasn't feeling up to going along. I think we are all going to try to go to Indiana Jones together ( I hope Mom can go too!) I really liked Robert Downey in the lead role.He is a good actor and now that he seems to have gotten his act (pun intended) together I think he'll be around a long time.

I found a spelling and writing curricula for Sydney and I hope it will finally click for her. She does exceptional in Math and her other studies. It can't all be easy right? lol She is reading chapter books with some prodding  :) and the biggest issue  That I am having is that Lazy Gene she has inherited from someone .... ;)

We have a fourth body at the Salon finally!!! but, I think he'll quit like the others. They all want $$$ NOW haha Where? have you been working dude??? got to pay yer dues first! lol I think HE thinks that it will happen thru word of mouth that HE is at our salon. I suggested HE go hand out some cards and he said nah HE thinks that if he runs into a former client they will tell everyone that HE is over here now. OY! good luck with that! I really want to take Mondays off so I can  have mon/ tues off  I have a feeling it'll be short lived.

My Mothers day was lovely. We went to the In- Laws and had BBQ and visited. Everyone played nice . Florida Niece was ill (has had stomach issues for over a year) and her BF took her to the Hospital just hours before we were to be at Moms. I really wish (along with everyone else) that they could fix her!

My  Mothers Day present was a new tattoo !!! the artist was an ass and I am not sure I really love it yet... Once it heals we'll see. I'll talk more about it later when I have pix. I also met up with my local knitting buddy for and hour after work Monday.Yes, I am still Knitting socks lol  I just havent seen anything else inspiring to knit.  My allergies were so bad that I had to cut our Knitting time short! I have had Clariton and Benedryl and finally I gave in and bought Zyrtec. It is sooo hard to pay more that the $5.00  I paid when I had Insurance. OY but now I can breath  YEA!!!!!!!!!
