Nice day off

So my car's gas gauge went up to full Friday night and then my assistants husband came with his car computer sensor thing to see why the check engine light was on and it said overflow gas sensor. He cleared the check engine light. Today me and John went fishing and we each caught 2 1/2 fish each. I laid out for a while and actually fell asleep for a while. It is so relaxing there. I read some of my book Forever Odd and I can't put it down. I read Odd Thomas and it was the same way. But it makes me sleepy and I fall asleep even though I want to read. So I off tomorrow also, maybe I will get out to Tuesday Morning for those sheets and to TJ Maxx or Marshal's or Ross for some tableclothes. I bought some running shoes for playing softball. I have to call Maryanne and tell her that I'm going to play on the team with them. She works for the Downingtown Post Office and it is there team but they needed some more female players. I haven't decided if I'm going to take the vacation in August or not. John can't that week because there is someone else on vacation at his job that week. So if I do take it I will be doing stuff around the house and maybe we will go somewhere on the weekends.

broken car

So this morning I only had about an 1/8th of a tank of gas and I don't usually go under a 1/4 of a tank so I stopped by the gas station on my way to work and pumped a full tank of gas. When I got back into the car and started driving I noticed that the gas gauge only went up to were it was before I got the gas. I was like what the hell. So when I got to work I turned the car off and back on again hoping that it would reset its self but it didn't. So I went to the bank and then the check engine light came on and the out of gas light came on. So I didn't want to get on the highway to come home and run out of gas, so I stopped at the gas station and I had to force $2 in the tank so it is full. So I guess my day off Monday will be at the dealership.

Boring life

So I have a boring life, I work and thats about it. My husband says I need a hobby or project to do with my time. I wanted to go to see Jeff Dunham tomorrow night buy John didn't want to see the show and I don't want to go by myself so thats out. I am thinking about playing softball with a team and that would be fun and take up some time. Week nights and some Sundays. I haven't made up my mind yet. I will need to purchase some sport shoes and some clothes to play in.

Day Off

Well I'm off today and I've done laundry and thats about it. I want to go to Tuesday Morning and see if they have the 800 thread count sheets that they have on the website, and I need to go to Ulta to get some make up and I wanted to go to T J Maxx to get some tableclothes. But I didn't do any of it. I was afraid that if I left John would come home and he could go with me shopping. So it is now 3pm and he's not home and I probably won't go today. Oh well. I should of just gone. Part of me just wants to sit here on the computer and watch TV because I'm tired from working so long without a day off. I called today and had my dr.'s appointment changed to the 5th of August. So I have off Sunday and Monday. Maybe I will change Monday for another day. Sunday I would like to go out on the boat with John but the weather might not be good. Jeff Dunham is going to be at the Delaware Statefair on Friday night and I would love to go see him. Tickets are $45 plus the cost to get into the fair which I think is $5. I'm hoping that when I ask John to take me on Friday night he will. I'm not going to get my hopes up to much because I'm sure it will go this way. "Herrington Delaware, that is too far away on a Friday night after work. I don't think he is that funny to drive all the way down there to see him. " I will check back and let you know how if goes.

two weeks

Its been two weeks since I had a day off and that day was spent in the car for half of it traveling back from Virginia. So I've been contemplating going to California with Amy again. The tickets are $99 each way and we would leave on Tuesday morning and come back on the red eye Saturday night which means arriving at Amy's Sunday morning. I have a vacation scheduled for August 16th thru the 23rd because we were going to the Outer Banks because my sister in-law won a weeks rental in Coralla but because she wasn't going to be staying at the house she go written up at work and gave the rental back. John won't go with us and I don't want to leave him home alone so I decided to stay at home. I haven't decided whether to take the time off and do some housework or just work and take the time off some other time. We are also looking at beach houses for October and we need to find out how many people are going so we can get the right size house. I'm looking at a 9 bedroom now but I don't know if we are going to need something that big. Steve and Vicky and Family need 4 bedrooms, then me and John and momma and daddy and John' mom, that equals 7, and then John's mom's sister said she wanted to come so we need confirmation on that and Dave and BJ and John's daughter. Ok well I'm going to bed now 14 days has taken it's toll on me and my body.

Baby Claire

Last week I had off Wednesday and I went to Rehobeth Beach to see my friend Sheila and spend the day on the beach. As I drove down, its a 2 hour drive the weather was beautiful. I ran into some wet spots on the road where it had rained before I got there but the skys were clear. I got to Sheila's and we loaded the car and stopped by Wawa to get some lunch and by time we got to the beach a storm was coming, we could hear thunder in the distance. We took our chairs down to the beach and sat and talked and then a big thunder clap happened and we jumped up and got into the car and waited it out. It was over in about 15 minutes, so then we took everything down to the beach and it was sunny for about 10 minutes and then the fog rolled in. We talked for hours and walked the beach and saw the dolphin playing in the water. It was a great day. When I got home me and John went to McDonalds for dinner and then it was off to bed for me since I had to get up at 2:30am to go to work. On Thursday I got all of the truck done at work and was out of there by 2pm and got home and John was there, he took a shower and we left for Virginia. We decided it would be best to travel 301 instead of 95 because we would hit DC at rush hour but before the HOV lanes opened for all traffic. So we drove and saw different sites than when we travel on 95 (boring). We went thru Tappahanok and the GPS sent us down some dirt road in King and Queen it was so funny. We turned around and got back on a hard surface road and made it home. I got a picture texted to me shortly after we got there and Baby Claire was born at 9:16pm weighing 6lbs 1 oz and 20 inches long. She has lots of hair, unlike all of the other children that have been born in our family. We finally went to bed when Momma got home, she was with Jennifer at the hospital all day. We got up Friday and went to the hospital to see the baby and we had Maggie with us so John took her back to see her neice and then I sat in the waiting room with her while Jennifer visited and then I went in and heald the precious little girl and got some pictures. Then we went to Ross and I got some things for the baby and some shoes for me, Jennifer and Maggie got bathing suits. We got back to West Point and we went to a new store that is very nice. The prices are great. I got a necklace and a shirt. The shirt is awsome, I can't wait to wear it. We chilled at home the rest of the day and Saturday Me Jennifer and Sandra went back to the hospital to pack up Brittany and bring her stuff home and get John something to eat and of course hold the baby. When we got home we had crab cakes for lunch, oh my goodness they were so good and then we went to Jennifers to play in the pool. Oh I forgot we had awsome chicken tenders for lunch Friday. We went home for dinner and Billy lighted some fireworks for us. Sunday it was chilli and rainy. We had a great big breakfast and after that daddy started on dinner, we had Chicken Pot Pie, WOW it was good. We left at 4 and when we got on 95 all of the lanes were full of stopped cars. Oh My we said it's going to be a long ride. We traved to Fredricksburg with traffic stopping at each exit. We got off 95 and on Rt 1 and here again we were in stop and go traffic. Finally we started moving and we got back on 95 and had no more problems. We got home in 5 hours instead of the normal 4. Not to bad for a holiday weekend. We decided we would not travel on a holiday weekend unless it is Christmas.
