Crying....

This weekend has been another one of those weekends. Gary and I got into an argument, well actually it was more of a blowout (we only do this about once a year so I guess it was coming) and I cried all day Saturday. I should have been over it by Sunday but no I cried all day then too. I don't know why I am so emotional this weekend but I have been. This morning I was cussed out by one of the defendents that come thru here, normally this wouldn't have bothered me at all but this guy got under my skin. I shouldn't have allowed him to get to me that way but as soon as he left I started crying again. He didn't get his way so he took it out on me and my department. My co-workers witnessed it and he was even chased out of the building my the court clerk and an officer. What I should have done is walked away from the window when he started up and let him stand there for a bit. I shouldn't have put up with him. And he called me rude, sheesh!! Hopefully the rest of the day will go along smoothly and I won't have another incident today.

Horn Lake Explorers

My son is an Explorer. Maybe I should tell you what being an Explorer is. Our police department sponsors a group of young men and women that are interested in law enforcement. Our group are led by a wonderful young man who has done remarkable things with these teens. He is one of our fine officers here in Horn Lake. This weekend they participated in a Police Olympics. Our team of Explorers excelled!! We took home the majority of the gold and silver medals and our group was given the honor of being the color guard for the award banquet. My son was given the opportunity to be apart of the color guard and carried the American flag. I am so very proud of my son. He has come a long way and I believe that he is going to grow into a fine man. This is a picture of him in his Explorer Uniform.

March already

I can not believe that it is March already. Good grief the months are flying by. Does this mean that once again Christmas will be a'knocking before long? I swear since I had children (no there are no new ones) time just flies by. I really wish our lives were not so hurry hurry all the time. To lay down and take a nap and not have to worry about waking up at any certain time because something has to be done or to sit on my front porch and knit or crochet for as long as I wanted without having to worry about taking one of the kids somewhere or answering the stupid phone. Man, can you imagine just slowing your life down to a walking pace.
On a good note, I received my purse/tote from my partner on the Swap Spring Purse and Tote swap from Crochetville. I am so impressed. It is gorgeous and I love it. I hope that the lady I made the tote for likes hers. I'm so nervous about her getting it. I shipped it today so I will be hearing something soon I hope. I always get so nervous about giving anything I make to someone.


I wish everyone a safe and happy weekend.

Bye Ya'll,
