'Twas the month of hospital visits. Not me, I am healthy as a horse. *Aforementioned horse* Levi had a little touch of pneumonia, but is home now and loving life, but hating his breathing treatments.
Rebecca gave us all a week long scare in ICU, but all is well, and I will spare you the pictures that I received.
How am I the healthy one this month?
Jared was gifted a box of 17-year old MRE's.
I said that correctly. Now I can't remember the food that was inside, but these were the amenities.
He also discovered an underground spring.
We didn't do a lot this month. Worked, meandered through the Forest, watched documentaries and sports. Well I watched sports while Jared reads. We went fishing at the Falls, and Anderson's Pond. Zero fish for me, but I did see two alligators. Don't let the cute faces fool you. These little terrors will eat you alive. Their mama is Duct Tape Dodd, so I call these Light Bulb and Drywall Screw. Team Camo, Sharks, and Dinosaurs! Lily created family members with an app, and of course Jared and I were dead last, BUT, at least we made it in :)
Do you know what happens when it's warm for like 20 days and then a cold front comes through and you don't have any warm clothes with you on your day out? Well you wear a hat 3 sizes too small and socks on your hands, that's what!
There have been several times since Scott has passed where something happened, or I read something, I see something on NASCAR or WWE to where I actually go to grab my phone to text him. I messaged Jared the other night almost in tears. Living a life with only low sugar or sugar free food/drinks, Scott and I both always wished for orange Fanta. Guess. What. I. Found. One of my all time favorite actors passed away. Tom Sizemore. He played a tough military/cop guy in most of his performances. My favorite 3 roles were his in Saving Private Ryan, Pearl Harbor, and Dreamcatcher. I hope that he is at peace.
Me: Let's run into Ollie's real quick, I just need a couple of things...
Jared........ Jared: Hey, let's go set crawfish traps before it starts to rain. Me: I leave you with one of my favorite pictures of Levi....so far.

Levi's face sums this month up perfectly. 2/10. Not a good month, for reasons I am not putting on here, BUT....I have more than I deserve, a roof over my head, many luxuries that some cannot afford, and a loving husband, even when I want to square up.
Let me tell y'all something about this Ford Escape. It's working on my nerves.
February wasn't as long felt as January. I worked a ton, Jared is still on restrictions at work regarding what he can do physically with his knee not completely healed. Bailey and Levi are still living in Mississippi, and Lily pretty much refuses to acknowledge my existence. The work car, Aziza, decided to break down 11 miles from the office, so that was a whirlwind day. I should get it back soon. Until then, I am using the backup backup car. I finally got to go fishing again!
Papa, Rover, and Beaux made an appearance.
As happy as we are when Bailey and Levi visit, unfortunately they have to go home. When Christian pulled up, Levi was nowhere to be found....
Is there a more cuter Valentine? Jared left me the sweetest Valentine. *eye roll* I took off a day when Lily was out of school and Bailey would be in. It rained, so we just had to wing it. Lily was not so subtly adding stuff to my cart. She put these erasers in there, and I said "what on earth are you going to do with these?" Deadpan she goes....."erase stuff". This guy and his kids. They make my day. I know I've been complaining since October, but FOX and DirecTV broke up, and the channel was removed. Do you know what comes on FOX? The World Series, that I missed my team winning. The Super Bowl. Meh. WWE Friday Night Smackdown. But most importantly, almost half of the NASCAR races. What does Jared do? He bought an antennae. I pulled up and was like wtf, dude? He said "The race is tomorrow!!!" You gotta love him. Jared sends me this mess all day, every day, knowing dang well I am at work tryna teach folks stuff. Sometimes you don't even have to tell people that you're a dad. I said "maybe we shouldn't stop at the Dollar general right now since there are EMT's in the parking lot? He wasn't having it. Gotta get those snacks. I see this a couple of times a year. I snort giggle every time. Let me give y'all my opinion that not one person asked for regarding Sam Smith at the Grammy's. The song is called "Unholy". It's about a man who meets up with a chick and commits adultry. Otherwise known has half of the country songs on Earth. Otherwise known as half of Natchitoches Parish. Did I watch the performance? No. Get real, the Daytona 500 was on. I knew from my Twitter feed blowing up how the country was reacting. I was waiting for the self righteous to show up with their Facebook posts. I was not disappointed. Picture Charlie Daniels singing "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" in this day and age on a stage and scale just as grand. It would probably be more theatrical. "That's all I got to say about that"- Forrest Gump. I am going to leave y'all on that note before I get cancelled. Enjoy these pictures of my beautiful family. Even when I hide under a blanket and throw stuff. |
