I had a date tonight with LilE. We just needed time for the two of us to hang out so we did. We went to see Paranorman.

We laughed and had a great time.

We ate after the movie and came home. WE were having a great night then we got home.

As we were walking to the front door we heard 5 gun shots and even saw the flash down the hill from our house. As we were reaching our front door we heard a woman and a younger girl scream out, "No, no, nooo oh my god NOOOOOOOOO."

I ran in and called 911. It so happenes it is for the sheriff's #. As I told them what happened and general idea of where the very nice sheriff informed me that area is slightly out of their jursdiction and would I be willing to tell the police department what I told him.

Of course I was.

So he got the police department on the phone and he asked if they knew about it. Yes they had just heard.
He told the lady that he had someone on the line that called in and was willing to give a statement. She asked who I was, what # I was calling from and where I was.

Then I told her what I heard and saw. She didn't tell me thanks or anything like that just started talking to the guy.

I didn't know if I should hang up or waht so I listened to them he offered to send help as he noticed that a 420 was in progress and there was only 2 cars responding and he had a car slightly over a mile away. She told him they had it covered.

At this point I asked if I was needed any more she didn't reply he thanked me again for the help and told me I could get off the phone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My little oasis away from the shit is getting smaller and smaller.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the four years we have been here there have been a murder/ suicide 5 blocks away, and a multipul murder suicide 3 blocks away. There was a 2 child abduction 2 miles away. There has been a 1 child kidnapping 3 miles away. A drowning murder with a shooting 4 miles away. And a few others I can't remember at this time.

Now this 2 houses away down the hill.

I don't like this. I know there is truely no place that is away from this kind of thing but it would be nice if I was in a bit of a calmer area. Somewhere that the crimes are less.

I know you must get tired of being walked on, spilled on, rarely cleaned and all those lovely things, so when someone who likes you keeps you cleaned and swepted 2 times a day likes how you're cool on a hot evening lays down on you to just enjoy a nice cool sleep, it's rude of you to poke and prod and pummel their back while they sleep so they wake up early with knotts, bruises and cricks in neck and back. I think for punishment you should be carpeted or not cleaned for a day or jump-roped on.


Painfull backed person,

Dear car,

I know you love to be driven and especially on rough dirt roads. Sadly, when your owner washes you biweekly I am not allowed to take you off road as much. It would also help if you didn't drink gas like a boozing hobo with a new bottle of cheep wine and $50 just burning a hole in your pocket, if you didn't drink so much I could take you out more often.

Missing you,

M E



In real mews. The weather is quite hot my floor is cool. In this werther the dirt roads are callling to me but sadly I am not able to get to them much with the gas prices.

My weekend while good was long. I spent loads of time in a hot kitchen and over the bbq.

We celebrated MidE's 16th birthday with my parental unit and My sisters son T.

T is so quiet hard to draw out and so different from the boy I used to enjoy talking with. Yet toward the end of his time here he was a bit more open and willing to talk. He takes everything in and shows little emotion. He must be a mater at occlumency.

MidE had a good time. He received quiet a few things he wanted and a bunch of things he didn't know to want but loves them loads.

Sunday night we heard about an organist camp sort of thing POE (Pipe Organ Encounter) concert that we went to. The kids wanted to go because the advert said "Star Wars theme and many other contemporary tunes. Funny part....towards the end the gent asked if we wanted to be done or take an intermission and come back for a little more music/lesson to which WahE yelled out "Star Wars Theme!!!!"

The whole of everyone listening laughed. The lecturer/preformer said, " Oh sorry I didn't bring my sheet music for that but how about this."

He went sat down and played Leia's theme, Darth's march song and went off into some other contemporary themed songs. He then took an intermission and played a few more songs.
The concert was a full 1 hour and 45 minutes long. He lectured of how different themes have been taken from the 16 and 17 hundreds and influenced our culture today. Played for us a song written in the 1600s and then it morphed into The Addams Family theme song. They were so similar and so much fun to hear and learn.

All my kids liked it. I think T might have liked it as well. My parents certainly liked it.

Then back to my house for food and then my parents went to thier hotel room. At that time I took the time to write out and draw pictures to go with on how to do things on his computer and what each page for what he wanted to do will look like. Now he can: write on word/document program, save to, get on the internet, check his email, search google, find info, wikipedia, and most importantly use scan disk, defrag, and scan and clean viruses.

I was tired and found out that at 1 am monday morning I needed eggs and milk for breakfast so off to the only store that is opened 24 hours. And since we needed to drive past Coronado I figured that I would stop and go for a quick walk. Did that. Shopped. Got home just in time for E to go to work. Up at 9 made scrambled egges and german pancakes for everyone.

Then the parental unit and T left to go back home at (if I remember correctly) 1:30.

Today is a recoup day.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

The day started early with the kids getting up and trying to sneak game time. Then we had apartial Brittish fry-up.
I know this sounds normal but while eating we had to talk in our best Brittish accents. The posh accents

After that was over we went on to our normal day stuff. some ligt reading, singing and dancing about as we cleaned up a bit. Then on to a movie.

After that we just cleaned a bit mor, ate lunch and went outside to play.

The day ended with baked chicken (my bbq is out of gas), garlic noodles and veggies.

Now just sitting around with LilE waiting for WahE to go to sleep.

The day started different than most days, I woke up at dirt thirty or as few humans call it 355 am. I drove E to work so as to have the car to get some running around done that I wasn't able to do over the weekend. When that I was done a nap was in order.

Back to bed I went till 8 am. Up I got (sort of I lay in my sleeping area till I was forced to move) and was productive. Then I really got up and took BigE to do the recycling so he had a few extra $ to be able to buy something for me and the boys.

Then back home to get cleaned up so he could go to Preview Night at ComicCon. When he was done MidE decieded he wanted to go and see some costumes downtown so into the shower he went. On his way out the spigot broke off!!! So we all loaded ourselves into the car spigot and all and drove to take BigE to SDCC (sanDiegoComicCon).

The first thing we saw as we entered DownTown SD a bill board. The photo was of a yacht and some bikinied lady with high heels on. The caption over it said. "BOOT WORLD"

BigE commented....There are NO BOOTS in that photo.
WE all giggled. Then we specutated it must be a type-O they are trying to advertise B O A T s not B O O T s. Of course my near 16 year old MidE commented that is was actually for plastic surgery that specializes in B O O B s X-)

And the light changed before I could get my phone turned on so I could snap a picture.

On we went, WahE commented that it was like a safari we were on. We are hunting costumed people with our camera.

We drove the whole length of the convention center and saw a few costumes. They were on little kids (we got no pictures) and a few caped buxom women but other than that just a standard herd of nerds

The really cool thing is at this time they paint the trolleys and buses Or really large decals of all things ComicCon and Geeky. It is so much fun.

When BigE got out of the car we went on to get E from work, eat dinner, take MidE to his father, and purchase new spigot and required piping for repairing the bathroom shower.

While buying the spigot BigE called and needed picking up.

He had a great time. Met some chicks that exchanged emails with, got some swag and home to get ready for a new day at comiccon.

He was off this morning for his work at SDCC today will be working in the game room. His job,..... Making sure that everyone that is gaming plays fairly and finishes the game. He gets to watch people play Settlers of Katan, Munchkin, All Aboard, and many many other games.

I look forward to all he has to say about his day when he gets home.
