oops i missed one

so i never did do a post yesterday and no the novelty isn't already worn off... i got home, took a much needed nap and then saw ray off to work... next thing i did was mooch a dinner off mom and dad... lol
really, i did call mom, asked what was for dinner, i wasn't picky, no food in the house when i got home and i was hungry. ray bought mc'ds and i was sol (shit out of luck)... lol mom came and picked me up and off to dinner i went.
dinner was leftovers but very yummy ones. i got spaghetti and chicken... dad had spaghetti and veal (yuck) and mom fettuccine alfredo... oh and we had small salads first and bread sticks with... yummo...
during dinner we had helicopters flying really low over the house and being of a curious nature, mom and i got up to go take a look... life flight, omg near by, something bad happened some place... he's circling looking for a place to land amongst the trees and power lines... and i'll tell you he was a heck of a pilot cause he did it.
next came the channel 9 copter circling and filming. they probably got a shot of mom and dad's roof and pool... they circled for a bit and then were gone.
next we heard the life flight take off again and sirens... lots of sirens... yep something really, really bad...
mom and i couldn't stand it anymore so off we went... walking towards where we knew the problem was. dad was worrying cause all he could think of was a shooting or something. nope not this time and yes we have shootings occasionally just like almost every other community on the planet...
we get to the end of mom's street and there is a huge crowd... i didn't know we had that many people living in the area... j/k i knew we were crowded it's really a great area and the houses are really inexpensive so just about anyone can afford to live here... oops back to the story...
it was a car crash... a really bad one... head on... both cars are trashed... there is a small sedan and one of those "racing" car types... no injured people... they are already gone so mom and i start chatting up some of the women there to find out what happened...
young, pregnant mom with two little ones in the car driving home... young man... driving off someplace in the opposite direction... he is driving really really fast, i know no surprise there, and crosses into her lane... smash, they collide...
life flight took out the young man and the pregnant mom needed to be cut out of her car... steering wheel jammed against her belly... both she and one of her little ones are put on stretchers and taken out in an ambulance... now i'm assuming they both went in one cause our ambulances are huge and can fit two stretchers... as for the other little one... not sure if they took that one with mommy or if someone knew them and took the child home...
crime tape all over the place wrapped around where the cars were sitting... what a horrible site... but it's a regular occurrence around here... usually you can hear the sirens in the morning at rush our, at lunch time and again at dinner time... you can practically set your clocks by them... it used to be a quiet area... well, my street is still really quiet. at least until all these small kids get their licences and start driving that is... lol but it is quiet... a street off another street which is rare in this area, down around a bend with woods all behind those of us lucky enough to build at the end of the loop...
as for the shootings i mentioned... nothing close to where mom and i live... well close to where i live... well one time...
guy goes to a pub... gets his check cashed at the bar... leaves and drives home but has company following... gets shot and robbed... can you say crime of opportunity??? who cashes their checks at a bar??? well, not this guy anymore and no he didn't die... the robber was a lousy shot and even a lousier robber... was a neighbor and was caught right away...
anyway, back to last night and why i didn't blog... mom gave me a ride home around 9 pm at which time i proceeded to clean and do laundry... remember, i just got home from being away for over 2 weeks... didn't finish what i had planned to clean until after midnight and by that time i was pooped... so i put emma's blanket over my clean sheets so she didn't get cat hair all over the bed and stretched out to spend some quality time with my kitty cat... she was thrilled as she missed me terribly and i was thrilled to be back in my own bed...
from then i don't remember much... ray came in and kissed me good morning when he got home from work at 5am... his alarm went off at 10:30 am so he could go play golf with dad and i am here... writing... something i'm finding i really like to do...
oh and no i didn't do any crafting... was busy... lol
maybe tonight i'll write again or maybe not... it depends on my mood... so keep checking in to see what all i've been up to... that is if you want to... lol
p.s. i love spell check... lol
