It's Friday...

and I'm working...................bummer!

love! love! love! having friday's off during the summer, did I do anything great and exciting? no not really...but I do so enjoy that one day off...but now it is time to go back to reality, school has begun and so it's back to a 5 day work week...so sad. ok I'll stop whining....but it truly is a bummer working today.

My day began, or never ended depending on how you look at it. And no this time it wasn't a wee one in the house keeping me up at unhappy hours because they were ready to play and just simply be awake...nope last night it was the trains... I know, I have lived near the railroad tracks most of my life you would think I would be use to them by now, but apparently my body isn't. (note here, thinking sleep is forever going to be an elusive thing in my world) so randomly throughout the night I awoke to the sound of engines running, sounded like low, distant,rumbling, thunder...so once I tuned in and realized it was trains and not an approaching storm I slipped back into sleep...there were a few times when cars were being connected that jolted me, so all in all I awoke quite often....of course the sounds have always been there, the difference...now I have the windows open rather than closed. So I finally fell asleep sometime after 3, only to awaken to the phone ringing at 5am...as I stumble to the phone I'm wondering who is not coming today, when I answer and realize it isn't a parent but rather the police department, I quickly switched gears to "who are they bringing so early this morning" which was quickly replaced by the request of the person on the other end to talk to Rebecca, "she's not here" I say "oh are you her mother" ok most of you are going to know exactly where my mind went, rational clear thought dissappeared, replaced directly with omg what has happened. Condensed version (or as condensed as my rambling ways allow :) They were wondering if I knew why her car, a 99 sunfire, was parked in Lewisville, (ummmmm I"m now wondering the very same thing) so I mention that she attends school in Moorhead, and has been there for the past 3 weeks,with her car, are you sure it's her's? He checks and comes back and says no it isn't her, apparently someone has a 99 sunfire with a license plate identical to Beckie's with the exception of 1 letter, their's has an N Beckie's has an M. So next he say's no worries mam, your daughter is excatly where she should be, this isn't her car...sorry to bother you, have a good day... "ok, thanks I will" of course going back to sleep was pointless, body was completely alert...getting a call like that will do it to you... and why did they need to check on the car at 5am???
Today is the big birthday party, Anthony is having some friends over to celebrate his birthday...he is so excited... trying to match his excitement, but I'm afraid I'm just a bit scared wondering what? am I going to do with a houseful of 4-5 year olds? this should be fun!
enjoy your weekend...
