Busy, Busy

Well, it has been such a hectic week. First of all I was sick part of the week with a kind of weird flu. I really felt sick on Wednesday night then just felt very crappy on Thursday. That coupled with the fact that I have a boil on my neck is driving me nuts. I have battled this dumb boil for 2 years over and over. I am going to have it lanced tomorrow and maybe that will do it. Brother!!!!!You would think modern medicine could cure something this simple. I 'm actually sure they can if I could find a doctor who wasn't the biggest retard on the planet. I HATE going to the doctor because they act like they have no clue as to anything other than how to bill you.

Mom and Dad came last week and spent the week. It was sure nice to see them. I felt so sick that we didn't do much but it was nice to see them. Then more and more family started arriving for the weekend. My sister Diane and her extended family, Jan, Chloe, Lindy, Skye and Chancy. Charlee Ann and I had everyone over for lunch on Saturday and Ron, Sharon, and Megan came too. It was really fun to see everyone. We ate on the patio and the kids played in the yard. They ran Oli's Barbie mustang until the battery ran down. It was a big hit. They drove that thing all over the yard until it made me tired. Later in the day Diane had a barbecue at the park to welcome her son Issac and her daughter Ashley home from their missions. We went down for a few minutes but my neck was hurting so bad from the dumb boil we didn't stay long.

Sunday morning I got up and felt a bit better so I cleaned the house and got ready for Cliff to come home. He had gone to Laughlin with the Mexican to the River Run for the weekend. When I knew all those people were going to be in town, I told him you boys better run for the river!!. They really had a great time. Leo's dad and some friends met them there and it sounds like quite a party. I got a cool shirt out of it so, sweet!! I think we are all going to try to go next year.

I was so excited that Sunday was the race in Talledega I could hardly stand it. It is my favorite track and I LOVE watching them race there. It is the track that Cliff and I spent our honeymoon at (Only then we didn't know it was our honeymoon when it was happening ,we just thought it was a cool trip HA) But just 4 laps into the frigging race they have the big one and take out about half the field and of course Gordon is right in the middle of it. I was so pissed off I could hardly stand it. Cliff wasn't home yet but was listening to it on satellite radio in the car when I called him. I just had a hissy fit that I am sure he thought was funny. It sucked so bad that I am still disappointed. Anyway, they got Gordon back out but not till he was 55 laps down. At least he finished the race and was only 5 points back from first place in points. The rest of the race was OK but not what I had waited for months to see. The last lap was nuts with 4 cars scrambling for the win when Carl Edwards got sideways and flipped and hit the fence at 200 miles an hours, pretty spectacular. A rookie won and Big Daddy just shook his head cause Dale Jr took second (you go little Mexican boy)
