HOME SWEET HOME!!!
ahh.. my fat ass is getting back to it's original size
We stopped in Abilene, hoping to find some cool souvenir for Grandson. But they ain't got nada.. We were driving through 'the town'. Well, I thought I saw George Washington. I was like "WTH??" "What the heck did George do here?" So, I pulled off the street and went there.. phsft.. It's a lady.. OOOps! We rolled around on that, laughed and acted like dumbasses.. Top it off I couldn't speak right. Troy looked and smelled my coffee...
We even asked around for Walmart. Just maybe they would have something. Well, we found it, only I went in the wrong entrance.. We drove around in the back parking lot and back into the street. I was just being woodled around. Still Walmart didn't have anything.. I just bought him a toy and a magnet. Some more retard situation occurred.. that done did it, my coffee got tossed.
On the way home, I decided we visit the National Monument. The Long Walk, and Billy the Kid's Burial site. I stood there and stared at their sites. We all know he biffed it with his pals. So, I stood there and envisioned his battle. I looked at the coins people threw on his grave. I thought about his friends. Time wasn't of essence is was probably more of getting to an understanding. I dunno, I was just drawn to it. I felt a lot of emotions run through me.. more importantly the peacefulness.
After visiting his grave I moseyed over to 'The Long Walk". There I felt so much pain, the loneliness, sadness... Trauma, losses, confusion, emptiness.. yet the gate was still locked.. I looked to get a feel of this place once filled with grief and hopelessness.
When I got back to my car, I felt a big squeezed around my chest area I had to take a deep breath. It was painful. I smiled at Troy and got him resituated. I hurt inside, and took another deep breath and got in the car.
On the way home, NY GIANTS were playing, just where we ran around the day before in Arlington. I wanted to listen to it on the radio. Couldn't, I think we killed or blew a fuse. Nothing worked in that area. All the way home, the lit street lights went off once we got near it.. all the way out of Albuquerque. I blamed Troy for the jinx, poor kid I think he took it to the heart. I kidded with him.. finally got a smile and a laugh out of him.
Remember the storm I was yakking about? Yeah, well, it was still raining side ways.. and mind you.. I can't see well in the dark. SO REALLY had to slow down to 55 and try to see the road.. Aii, there it be and we took off again.
In Cuba, I was throwing out my empty sunflower shells out the window. Yeah, I was littering. I noticed I was still above 60 so I popped the gear while I was throwing the shells out. I heard some shells fly back in and hit the back window. One even flew all the way around and hit Troy.. then landed on the floor.
I saw a cop parked in the parking lot. I thought I was still in gear, the ICP was still 'bumping'. I stepped on the gas, nothing happened. I stepped on it again.. Now, Troy was looking at me again. I started to laugh like an idiot when I realized the gear was in neutral. All this in front of a cop.. my car stalled, I put it in the wrong gear. Dumbass.
We stopped to get gas.. a bum came by selling stoned carve Indian stuff, and bracelet. The whole thing for 15 bucks.. we all know why... I told him I ain't got money, but I would love to give him a drink or food instead. He took them. I told him if I had an extra jacket or something, I'd give him that too.. but I don't. Ahm... we left.
O WE FINALLY GOT HOME!! After we made one more stop at the HillTop for sodas.. Ya see we forgot it when we got gas in Cuba.
Grandpa and Grandson were already by the car window with big hugs waiting for me. I got out, Grandson kissed and hugged me.. he was a chatter bug, Grandpa held me for a long time. He kept kissing the top of my head while he held me. You think I felt loved?
After dinner Granpa had prepared for us, I took care of what needed to be taken care of. I laid down. I was thinking I was gonna go out to the dream land, quick. Nope, instead I got kissed by an angel. I kinda freaked, but I was later informed of my experience.
I wanted to take my boys somewhere special for lunch.. I grabbed my purse, and started to look through it.. Guess what???
THERE'S MY WEDDING RING!!!! ~YAY~
I am so thankful and relieved... I told hubby to put it back in the safe. Oh, what a relief!!
