PART 3 "GONE COUNRTY"

This is the bait shop where we picked up "bait" of course, I think it was minnows. "We gone Country"

Getting ready to head into the woods, it look like the beginning of a horror movie.

The 4th, 2007, part 1

This is the Fireworks they had for us as we got there to Louisiana, nah the church our friends go to is next to an airport, & they had fireworks on the 3rd. Ok here is how it started, we told our friends we would leave after I would get out of work, which would be about 5 PM. We would start driving at 5pm & get there about 2 AM. We have done this in the past a couple of times, driving like this. I had a doctors appointment that day which I thought was at 4 pm, but it was at 10 AM. I asked some coworker if he would cover for me if I left the rest of the the day, & he said okay. This was going to be so cool, we left about 1:15 pm. Mind you we never told our friends we would leave early we wanted to surprise them. When we took off I turned off my phone so no one would call me, then our friend calls on my old phone which my son Mike is carrying with him. So guess what our friend call that phone & Mike answers so he tells him we left about 12, so I start giving him the evil look, & he hangs up the phone. Our friends start calling, & asking & we tell them we left about 12 till 5, (bunch of liars, hehe). Then I tell Mike its ok we covered it back up. When we get there, they were at the church watching the fireworks when we drive up. We park on the side of them with our light facing them, & they don't move. So then my wife starts flashing the lights, & that get there attention, but they are just looking, when I stick my head out the window & yell, "Hey". Then they recognize us & start running towards us, it was pretty cool.

Vacation

I so need a vacation, I am so burned out & just keep telling myself another week. I am so ready for that 3 day weekend in Louisiana. Just to get away from here, from work I mean. I love to work, & I know I have to work to support my family. But sometimes you just need to get your mind off of work. I also need to see about finishing the house, almost so close. I get excited seeing the house like that it looks totally different. If I was lost & wouldn't have no desire to go to church I would of probably already finished the house, but when Sundays come around I have no other desire to be in the house of God. I know it is in his timing, & it will be great. I like to do stuff around the church that need to be worked on, I figure if I give my time to the house of God, He will bless me in time to work on my house. My house maybe old, but it is mine, well "ours". he he. I have so many big plans, but I don't let my wife know because if i tell her I might get home & she already has started the project, love you baby. She is wonderful, when I had to do plumbing outside like sewer lines, she was out there digging the trenches also. She is a really hard worker, & is always looking for ways to make it easier for me thank you, baby. I love my life, & everything in it. It all has its place its connection to it all. I just owe it all to Jesus. If it weren't got Jesus, I don't even want to think where I would be right now. Got to move forward, "keep keeping on" not stagnant going nowhere in the Christian walk. I just owe it all, all to Jesus. Thank you Lord, for my Brothers & Sisters in Christ. Just rambling here 2 work waiting for the guys to finish there work so I can go home. Gonna head out to Wallbangers Lord Willing. See Ya

Thinking

Just here in my thoughts, the other day me & my friend were sitting in his truck in my driveway. Just talking having really in depth talks about our lives & where we have been & how things are now. Now I am in this situation where my baby is sick, he has a lump in his throat & it was going down, but this Sunday again it started to swell up. I just get lost in my thoughts of him, & try not to get after him so much, but I still have to be Dad & lay down the law. When he was in the hospital I thank the Lord for everyone that went by, & called to check up on him. That same week @ work we just got slammed with work I couldn't even think straight, I was screwing up my work big time, forgetting orders to go pick up peoples household goods when they are going to move. It was bad I did it 3 days in a row. I talked to my boss I told him what was going on I apologized, & he just looked @ me & said, "Its okay, we will fix it". Man I just wanted to give him a hug, but I held back, he he, this was in Thursday. Well David went into the hospital on Sunday, & then Monday was memorial day so I had off. When I went to work on Wednesday I get a call about 9AM, I say hello, then a little voice comes on & says," Hello Daddy, what is taking you so long". Man my heart just sunk I start to get teary eyed in front of everyone @ work. Then I tell David, "taking me long for what Baby?". He tells me ,"To get over here". Now my eyes are all watery. Then I tell him,"Daddy's @ work baby I will be over there during lunch then after work". Then he tells me "Okay I thought you went to the house to get clothe for me, Love you Daddy". Then he hands the phone over to his momma then we talk, & hang up. Then afterward then everyone @ work knew something was wrong, & they start asking, & so on & so on. Well we get this ordeal done in the hospital, but now it seems it is coming back so pray for David so they can take this thing out. I don't know how to handle this, this is my baby, & he is hurting & there is nothing Daddy can do to make it feel better. Well I have to confess one thing that is just killing me & eating me alive, it is that, that night on Saturday David was crying because he was afraid of the dark & I yes I told him to stop crying, & he starts telling me his throat hurts........& yes the jerk that I am told him that I don't believe him anymore that his throat hurts.....Then what do you know the next day he wakes up so swollen, I cant take this anymore, my baby was hurting & didn't believe him, It hurts so bad & I just don't, know what to do anymore. I Make myself to be this really tough father, but I love my babies. I still have to put my foot down when things need to be addressed. My baby was hurting, I just didn't believe him. Now I am just looking @ him & he is so forgiving, why cant we be like little kids in the forgiving business. We screw up, & they just look at us and tell us its okay. Now I look at them if they are hurt I look at it different, I don't want to push my boys away. I want them to be able to talk to me. It was a tough week that week, I try not to deal with things, I just try to sweep them under the rug, & forget about them. But you know what someday you will have to confront those things. I screwed up I didn't listen to my baby when he was hurting that will always be there, in my head in my heart. I am just rambling on it so late I have to work in the morning, I ask that you say a prayer for my David. I don't know what is going to happen next, he has to see the doctor on Friday so pray for that, I want them to just take it out already.Night all
