Good Morning, AM I finally on this PB again, wow its been a crazy weekend, since I have moved in to my new Apt I am starting to feel like its HOME SWEET HOME again, but I need to get some new furniture’s. I will succeed in that some day soon.
Well on Friday I nearly climbed 3 floors probably over 50 times carrying stuff to my apt and I was so so exhausted by 830 PM as we had started at 9 AM. The heavier stuff Rocket and my son in law helped me move. I was so unfortunate I didn’t have to carry any heavy stuff up the stairs but just the fact of carrying the little stuff, I was always out of breath by the time I got to the top of the steps. I drank so much water to make sure I was hydrated but yet I sure got so SORE the next day as I didn’t sleep well that Friday night as my legs were hurting so bad, and I was cramping all night. I was in so much pain all night that I got up and continued to get my apt all organized. My Boat even text me around 2 am to make sure I was doing alright, we talked on the phone for a little bit as I was hurting so bad, he was concerned I over did myself. Well I did but I finally had to take a pain medicine as I didn’t want to. I have been trying so hard to go off a lot of my Psoriatic meds as it has been causing a lot of side effects on me. I do have a high tolerance of pain but this time I didn’t. BUT I did rest up all day Saturday and stayed in my PJ’s all day. I did take some naps here and there, by Sunday I was doing better but still hurting some. I forced my self to take Dakota out for walks and bathroom times. I started to feel some what better by Monday Morning. Although the air quality was so horrible as we got all the smoke from Montana fires and there is one major fire North of Wyoming as well.
SO sad the news is not reporting on the news about the fires in Montana and other states.

Now kids are all back to school, and I hope to find my self having some time to my self and get this all figured out for the year. I am ready for a better year here in Casper. I hope to make this a regular habit to come into PB and read all my faves people and make an entry at least every other day. Let see if I do.
BUT let me share of what happened to me this morning, I made a horrible decision.
I woke up at 5:30 am to get my self going and took Dakota out for her business and came in and got my Hot Tea ready, I had to leave to get to my daughter Cat house to get my grand kids ready for school, their mom and dad leaves for work at 6:30 AM and I arrived at 6:45 and Cat was concerned that Rose didn’t (my grand daughter) didn’t get up with her alarm clock, as she is supposed to text her mom letting her know she was up and getting dressed, As I arrived to their house, wow they were ready and dressed for their first day of school. I gave JB (grandson) his meds he has to take to help him focus at school. We all left to go pick up Rocket back at my apt. I first dropped off Rose at her school, that was easy, not much traffic, got to Rocket school dropped him off, but Traffic was horrible. BUT I had patience. Then found a way to get away from the traffic and arrived to JB school but I missed his entry to drop him off, but I had JB come up to the front seat and I had told him to put his seat belt on and I didn’t check if he had done that as I was paying attention to the traffic, JB school is like 6 blocks from the High School, SO as I missed the entry drive way to drop him off I went down a block and as I was about to make a U TURN ALL BE DAMN JB suddenly decided to open the door as he was thinking I was going to park the car, HE ROLLED out of the car onto the street, HOLY MACKEREL, he scared the living S*** out of me, WHY on earth did he decide to do that to me.
I will have to explain his behavior as we have been working on him this whole summer since I have arrived here I have had several near heart attacks from this kiddo. HE has Severe ADHD, so his focus is so bad that we have to keep an eye on him constantly. His mom had to get him on medicines to help his behavior and focus on school this past spring as he was starting to act out during school last year.
BUT my biggest mistake was having him come to the front seat and NOT checking his seat belt and SO I have been dealing with this shaking all day I am so new to this issues of him making choices that don’t make me think further about him as I never had those issues with any of my boys in the past. BUT that is not the issue, yes I know. I was trying so hard to focus on the road and people around me and I made some bad choices my self. This was my first time even having to take kids to school as I never had to worry about that with my boys as they always rode the bus or walked to school when I lived in Texas. SO this MAMO has LOTS to learn about JB and making better choices around my grand kids.
I am so glad to report that JB is ok and not a scratch on him, he was just more scared than anything. SO I will never let him come to the FRONT seat until we have arrived to his school destination and I am parking right in front of school.
Lesson learned!!

Well I hope every one has a great week as SUMMER is officially over here and its now getting cooler in the air now, loving it here as its now 65 degrees at 1 PM here. Air quality is still brown in the air from the smokes but I can have the windows open for now, it depends on the winds around here too.

Have a great day folks!
