Day 6 {Your day}

I had a fabulous day today. This morning our neighbor invited us to go for a walk. I had tons to do and Shelby was still in bed, so lil man went with them. I finished cleaning up the dishes from last night, and vacuumed the house. My husband had a class so after it was over he came home for lunch.

My parents arrived about five minutes after he left to go back to work. Our neighbor came over to meet my parents, they brought a gift for her baby girl who is in the NICU. After our visit we went to Kroger's to  buy the ingredients to make homemade chili, because that's what my husband wanted for dinner.

My Daddy helped me by opening all of the canned items while I chopped up the onions,garlic,and peppers. My mom helped stir the meat until it was browned. {I always cook the meat and then drain the fat, so that its a little healthier as opposed to just putting the raw meant and everything else in all at once} Shortly after that my husband arrived home, we all ate. Then I started getting our little ballerina ready for her dance class. She looked ever so cute. Then my parents left because they were going to stop by my aunt's house on the way home.

I dropped her off at ASD, then went to get gas. I went home after that until it was time to go pick her up. After I picked her up we went to the mall to find a hairbow to match her beautiful Straussburg dress that Mrs.Kathy bought for her back in the summer. I wasn't able to find matching ribbon or I would have made my own bow. I couldn't have found a better bow  than the one I found at Hair Holiday in the mall. I'm ever so excited about having their Christmas photos made tomorrow. My friend bought us the gift certificate to have their photos made. Plus our friend Kathy had bought both of them an outfit back in the summer, so it's only costing me the price of the bow $3.99! I can't wait!

When we were at the hairbow store there was a lady in there who noticed my call my daughter Shelby. She looked at me and said that her granddaughter was also named Shelby. She said that she didn't know of another Shelby. She also said that her granddaughter lives overseas because her father is in the military.  I think it is a rare name. I told her that my Shelby was named after Carroll Shelby. Carroll is the owner of Shelby Customs in Las Vegas. He  also created the Shelby  Mustang, the Shelby Cobra, and Terlingua Racing.  She said her granddaughter is also named after Carroll Shelby. I think its awesome!

Mr. Shelby

My daughter was also named after Lauren Conrad. You may know her from Laguna Beach. She is better known for the hit series called ''The Hills'' I absolutely love the show! I own almost all of the season's on DVD, and her books. Lauren is classy, sophisticated, beautiful, intelligent, she's a great clothing designer among many other things. So now you know the story of how Shelby Lauren got her name.

Then we went to Wal-Mart to get popcorn seeds. Baby girl and I arrived home, and we made popcorn. I fixed myself a margarita. We all enjoyed the popcorn together while watching X-Factor, which is still on. Gotta love that show!



Overall I have had a fabulous day, with my family. I'm thankful for this day. November is the month for giving thanks, so I thank God and my family for such a lovely day. Even the weather was nice!

Doesn't mix well with alcohol

My  precious baby girl learned to swim Sunday night without having to hold onto anyone. I'm so very PROUD of her!!!! We had a couple of friends over this afternoon to join us for a swim. They were amazed at how independent she was acting. She doesn't want anyone to touch her or try to play with her. She is super proud of herself. We were enjoying ourselves so much. Colt got crabby and went upstairs to take a nap with his Daddy. Later on Jerry had to be at work so Colt came back to join us in the pool.

We were all having a good time. This guy who lives at our apartment complex came to the pool. He seemed friendly enough. We enjoyed a small conversation with him. He had a type of sports bottle with him with a blue liquid inside. I could smell a faint hint of alcohol. I wasn't certain so I didn't say anything right away.

He picked Shelby up {she is three years old and today was only her second day of swimming on her own} he launched her in the air and  threw her across the pool! (Watch out y'all mama bear is about to attack) He could have EASILY miscalculated and threw her on the edge of the pool and hurt her very bad! Not to mention the fact why the hell would you pick up a three year old whom you have never met and throw her????  By this time our friends had gone home, and a neighbor had joined us. He realized what a mistake he had made and apologized to both Shelby and I which was pointless because I was infuriated!

Our neighbor was holding both Colt and Shelby. I got out to call my husband. I forgot that he was in a meeting. So I called another officer. He was very nice and said he would be right there. I hung up the phone and then the drunk man was holding my son! WTF!!!! I said .....

me~I would appreciate it if you would stay away from my children.

drunk~ What?

me~ YOU ARE DRUNK STAY AWAY FROM MY KIDS!

drunk~ what's wrong with you? I'm not drunk!

me~ I'm not stupid yes you are so stay the hell away from my kids

He got out of the pool grabbed his towel, ipod and float and staggered off like an idiot.


The guy was being vulgar,rude, and was going to bust his head open if he continued to jump in the pool trying to land on his float or even worse hurt one of the five small kids that were in the pool!

The drunk guy left a can next to his chair. It was one of those four loko drinks! The officer arrived shortly after and by this time I looked up which apartment he lived in. The officer picked up the can and started towards the man's apartment.

Within five minutes he came back. He said the drunk man was in the process of walking back to the pool. He asked him for his i.d. the guy said sure and went inside his apartment and got  a military id. Turns out his name is Bryant he is 25 and he is a lieutenant in the Army. (his father is a Colonel  and brother is a lieutenant and  are both medical doctors for the Army) He was so drunk that he didn't even realize that in the short journey from the pool to his apartment he had injured himself. The officer asked him why his foot was gushing blood and he didn't even know it was bleeding. He advised Bryant that he should remain in his apartment and sleep it off because he was highly intoxicated at this point. The officer was very nice, and told me if there were any more problems to call him back on his cell.

We decided to stay at the pool for a while longer. Finally we had been in for well over four hours. I got the babies out cleaned and dressed. We ordered pizza, and by this time my husband was at home. All of a sudden we hear a pounding sound. It stops, then starts again. I step outside, and its the drunk beating on the downstairs neighbors door and peering through their windows. I went inside and told my husband. He went downstairs to deal with him. He tried to weasel his way out of it by saying 'you have a beautiful wife'' (hahahaha this guy is EXTREMELY DRUNK) My husband dealt with him and came back home to enjoy being with his family!

Alcohol and water don't mix. He could have easily hurt himself or an innocent child. I understand people wanting to have a good time,but this is ridiculous! STAY at home and get drunk if that's what you choose to do! Don't do it around children! I really hope he wakes up tomorrow and realizes what a complete fool he made of himself and apologizes. Not that it would matter. I hope that he gets his pool privileges taken away permanently! Or better yet doesn't get to renew his lease. It's sad that people can't enjoy a nice evening with their kids and friends because of stupid people like him. I'm still mad about the whole situation!
