Well, my time at home was much too short, the first day, we got home around 3 p.m. after unpacking, I then proceed to mow our yard which wasn't as tall as I thought it would be for 2 weeks growth. The next day had my doctor appointment in a city about 70 miles away and took most of that day , got home around 3, so most of that day 'home' was short, the next day I had to go to town and get this weeks supplies and groceries and spent about 4 hours in town,got to go to a new store in town that is up my ally, a flee market/ antique kind of store, I found me some neat treasures, an anaconda purse, for only 10 $, some real stone jewelry with very cheap prices, and so I was in 7th heaven with all my finds, did spend way to much, thank goodness I don't do this kind of shopping too often, so there went my next 'day' home, so yesterday spent my only full day at home, it rained all day got about 2 inches of rain, spent this home day piddle farting around, and doing laundry and packing to go back on the road.
We are now headed out to West Kansas to pick up a load of raw milk to take either to Winnsboro Tex. or Sulphur Springs Tex. don't know exactly the destination till this evening.
I got a call this morning from my brother who is truck driver too, and he told me of an humorous/sad situation according to how you want to view it, He was spending his sleep time at a pickle park just north of Wichita Ks. As he was trying to sleep he was wakened by a naked drugged 'lot lizard' /prostitute, she had needle marks all over her arms and legs. anyhoo, she hollers out at him asking if he wanted to have sex, He told her to leave, she then goes and knocks on other trucker doors, and then came back to his, he then calls 911 and the cops show up about 5 min. later and proceeds to try to get her, she is higher than a kite on drugs, she is screaming and kicking and hitting these 2 officers , they try to handcuff her she then kicks one of then extremely hard in his 'manhood' area, apparently so hard that it incapacitates him, he is puking and so the other officer tries to go it alone, she pees all over the guy, then hwy patrol shows up, and man and woman officers and the 3 of them wrestles her to the ground and finally get her in back seat of the patrol car, the ambulance shows up to take the injured officer to hospital. Of all places for something like this to happen , Kansas, of all places, 'they' are definitely everywhere!
Life on the road can be interesting at times, but more times than not it is same o same o just like any other job. I do hope this week is interesting in a good, way!
I hope all have a wonderful week, take care,
blessings,

CANTON, N.C. -- A state Highway Patrol trooper was shot and killed Tuesday night during a traffic stop on Interstate 40 near here, authorities said.
Lt. Everett Clendenin, public information officer for the patrol, said in a news release that the trooper had stopped a vehicle in the eastbound lanes of I-40 near exit 31 at around 10:20 p.m.
Patrol First Sgt. S.D. Greene confirmed early Wednesday morning that Trooper David Shawn Blanton Jr. was shot and died after he was taken to Mission Hospitals in Asheville. Greene said a passerby called to report that Blanton had been shot.
Blanton, who was from Cherokee, was a two-year veteran of the patrol. He was married and had one child.
Lt. A.J. Dickey, who is based with the Highway Patrol in Asheville, told the Asheville Citizen-Times that Blanton stopped the eastbound vehicle for a traffic violation, but it's unknown what the violation was. Blanton got the driver out of the vehicle and an altercation followed. Dickey said the man shot Blanton twice, once in the shoulder and another bullet grazed his wrist.
Dickey said it was not clear whose gun was used to shoot the trooper, who was wearing a bulletproof vest.
The newspaper reported that after Blanton was shot, the man fled in his vehicle and immediately exited I-40 at exit 31. He turned left on N.C. 215, where Haywood County sheriff's deputies and Canton police officers located him a short distance up the road, Dickey said. He was taken to the Haywood County jail.
Dickey did not immediately know the suspect's name, but said the man was from Florida and was driving from Tennessee. No one at the jail could be reached for comment early Wednesday morning.
After that week two weeks ago, I was ready to freaking snap on anyone and everyone! I even called Randy this past week and said your turn to plan date night and it is going to be after Father's Day!
We called our instructor at TKD and I gave him the low down on why I have been so stressed and he said no problem, we set up a couple private instruction times for this next week on top of our normal class times just so we can get caught up. I am okay with that.
DeLaney had a play date last week. Her lil friend's mom and I don't totally agree on a lot of things but we agree not to hold that against the girls. Randy and I have to sit down every time that DeLaney is with that lil girl and explain some things to her that they do and why we don't. But I had to have some words with her friend's mom about men and kids and how she will NOT be poisning MY Daughter's head against her dad or any other man because she is having issues with her current hubby and is going through a divorce. The girls have one major thing in common concerning their dads. They both work on the road. And that is where the similarity ends. Randy is very logical and is a non practicing Lutheran that is slowly starting to go through my various religious and spiritual books and is questioning both my moms and myself on things. Laney's lil friend's dad is a fluff ball wiccan wonder. Randy makes a point in calling his kids and myself EVERY NIGHT he is on the road, even if it is for only one night he is gone. Laney's lil friend's dad doesn't even bother calling his daughter when he is gone and he is gone for 6 months to a year at a time for a job! Might only come home for the weekend once a month! When he is home he buys Laney's lil friend off and makes it a competition between him and his soon to be ex wife. Randy doesn't buy his kids' affection. He spends time with them even when he is tired!
Anyway the reason why I am so ReEnergized, we got invited down to the RiverFront Day's Dance Friday night by some of our friends! My parents took the kids for the night and over night so Randy and I could go out. Well Randy and my friend's ol man had to work the next day so they maintained. My friend and I said screw it! Her in laws had her kids over night, my parents had our kids over night, other friends that showed up managed to talk their parents into keeping their kids over night and we had a blast! We left our friend's house about 9:30 pm and went to go get gas. Where we laughed our assess off! Some chicy babe at the gas station was already ripped by quarter till 10! She ended up leaning out of a duel diesel big ass truck to blow chunks in front of the county cop no less! My girl then got hit on by that same county cop while paying for the gas!:P We went over to the Bottle Shop and got beer and ice for the cooler and toook a cruse down by the dance to see if anyone was there, NOPE! So then we headed down to the marina so we could see who was there.
We decieded to walk in and have a beer down at the Marina Bar. Nothing but out of staters, ppl from Omaha and the Bluffs, and ol ppl coming in from the river. The guys each had one beer. My girl and I don't like beer and knew that is what we were pretty much stuck drinking Friday night so we guzzled two down at the marina to get that nasty ass taste out of our mouth. Then we drove back up to the main street and hit the bar! The bar was jumping! We didn't get very far from the door it was so packed. But that is okay we had a grand blast (us girls) talking to everyone coming and going from the bar. Saw one of our friends' from higschool brothers there! That was a trip! He is older then my cousin who is older then my sister! And here he is trying to hang with the young bucks! Then we turned around to help out a friend of my friend who was being hit on by some drunk young buck straight out of highschool and saw "The Smurf and Torpedo Tits" from highschool! Two girls that are 4 years older then us and thought their shit didn't stink. Smurf is married to a guy from my brother's class who stands 6'3 and that bitch only stands 5'2! Talk about your odd couples! They weren't to happy seeing us there laughing at them! Especially knowing the fact we know they are two elementry school teachers and ten to one some of their school kids' parents were at the bar drinking up also! They stopped to talk to us because they knew we know more ppl than they did down there and Smurf's hubby was drunk off his ass really trying to talk to me about my brother! Our hubby's were just sitting at the bar trying not to go to sleep on us and chatting with various guys they knew or worked with off and on. I got Randy to do a Jager Bomb with me. We decieded it was time to hit the dance and the beer garden when one of our other friends FINALLY showed up!
So we get to the dance, and of course it is one of the local bands that ruines every fucking song they attempt to sing or play, so we went on out to the beer garden where we promptly ran back into our friend's brother. Laughed our asses off at our friends' ex sister in law who was getting rubbed up on by ol men and nasty looking men showing off her fake titties that she got in an attempt to keep his brother from divorcing her! Nobody would do a shot with me so I talked my friend's brother into doing one. Then I had some dude buy me another shot thinking I would go down with back to back shots with all that beer in me already, suprise. That fucker took two steps from the beer garden and went down hard! I laughed and went back to our group. My girls were laughign and said when are ppl going to realize that when you drink you drink! Randy was suprised at hell because he was trying to keep track of how much I was haivng because he has NEVER seen me drunk until Friday night!
All we did was talk, a couple of dances with our men, go to the bathroom,a nd drink! It was a blast! We walked out of the dance about 1 and straight into a line of county cops and town cops waiting for the drunks to stagger out. We lost my girl back in the dance cause she got to talking! Her ol man went back into get her and Randy and I sat outside and talked to the cops! I promptly took my shoes, my earings, and my necklace off. Oh by the way you should have seen me! I was looking HOT! I had short black figure hugging capries on, a pair of heeled black slip on sandles, a brand new yellow, orange, and balck halter type top that showed off the tat tats (which I promptly made sure to say loud enough to my girls ex sister in law were REAL and NOT fake when my girl said loud enough boy you sure have big tat tats to be holding that top up!-were bad and catty I know!) and I bought matching yellow big hooped earings and a black and yellow necklace to go with the outfit! We finally got going back to our friends' house when he found his wife and he chitted up the cops a lil bit. Thank GODS that the men were stone sober and just maintained their drinking while us girls got ripped!
We took back country roads home and that is where I fully admit to saying I lost my cookies! Mixing all thsoe shots with beer and then hitting back country roads so the guys could have a couple of beers on the way home. Up and down, curves up and down on bluff roads with two very drunk ppl in the car is not a mix to make! My girl was laughing her ass off at me and laughed even harder when I mangaded to say "Hell at least I am not blowing chunks! It is straight up booze and beer!" They guys were laughing just as hard because Randy still can't believe I was that drunk and I was still very coherant to remember everything! Well I got the last laugh Saturday at 8 am when my girl woke me up! She admitted to loosing her cookies after she went to bed at 2! I was flopped down on my bed at 1:30!
We felt bad and fully admit we own our men big time! They worked 12 hours Friday, came home and took us out to the dance and turned around and got up at 5am after going to bed at 2 am! My girl had to pick up her youngest at her inlaws by 9:30 and I had to go pick up my kids sometime in the morning from my parents. Well we did that and low and behold my parents took off with my kids! So we went to my house with her lil girl and while I was picking up they sat back and relaxed! I called my folks to find out when they were going to be home and after they got home, we grabbed my kids and headed back down to River Front Days!
We watched the parade and laughed our assess off at her brother in law's ex wife (the one with the fake tat tats!) because she thinks she is soooooooo cute and she cant' even wear decent clothes and her ass crack was showing all day. Me and my girl are big girls but we have some class and know how to show our curves off properally! And again we did. We kept getting hit on all day long! plus ppl were trying to steal my cowboy hat! Yes I was wearing a cowboy hat! A black straw one with a skull and cross bones on it! Our four kids know how to work parades, they all had huge bags of candy which we promptly put away after the parade in the van. Then we bought all 4 of them wrist bands to hit the street carnavale and let the 3 oldest go off by themselves while my girl took her lil girl around and I hit the store for bottles of water and motrin to work off our booze headaches!
It was great. Once I talked to a few ppl making my way back to my girla nd her lil girl, we found out the bar we were at last night was giving free BBQ Beef Sandwiches away from one of my girl's aunties. So we went in and loaded up for us and the kdis. Then her hubby showed up and let me know my ol man was home napping!:D We loaded her man up on a plate and made our way back through the carnaval! My kids and I finally made it home about 3:30, where Randy was sleeping on the couch! I set the kids up outside in their lil pool and the phone. Told them if they needed anything to come up to my room and wake me up and I promptly laid down on the bed for a tw hour nap!
Amazing what a weekend out will do for a person! Today after my Moms gets back with the rug rats from Mass, the kids and I are treating Pappo and Daddy out to a nice Brunch for Daddy's day.
Hope all the Dad's have a great Daddy's Day! Same with the single Mom's out there! Have a great Daddy's Day if you are also Daddy!:D
Police-Writers.com is a website dedicated to listing state and local police officers who have authored books. Police-Writers.com added three Florida cop writers: Art Smith, Susan Goreck and Ronald Hunter.
Art Smith had a career in law enforcement from 1970 to 1986. His book, My Life in the Blue Parade details his career beginning with the Wadsworth Police Department (Ohio). He explores the “unusual conflicts of a police officer with the public, other police officers, administrators, and family.” A divorce sees Smith moving to Florida and joining the Fort Lauderhill Police Department. According to the book, “after a couple years, because of internal problems, he moves back to Ohio on a promise of a position by a sheriff’s office. The promise was broken and he worked temporarily at the Marietta Police Department as a dispatcher. Art Smith returns to Florida and works five years as a police officer for the Sunrise Police Department. Again, according to the book description, “unprofessional and unethical treatment by his supervisors and another police officer made him lose all desire to remain in law enforcement any longer.”
Susan Goreck is a deputy sheriff with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office (Florida). Her book, Poisoned Mind, tells the story of her year undercover investigating a murder suspect. According to the book description, “Many of us have had neighbors whose loud music, objectionable habits, or destruction of property get on our nerves. This is the story of a man who got so annoyed, he poisoned his neighbors with an extremely painful nerve toxin. The personalities are what make the book: the cartoon-character nerd who was a disgruntled househusband to a female orthopedist, the quietly charming policewoman who went undercover to get the goods on him, the loving Southern family who suffered so much. And there's a revelation at the end of the story that will appall you. As the New York Times wrote, "Florida, the cradle of creepiness in detective fiction, offers up some weird criminals in real life, too.... The authors are good at portraying the oddly disconnected society of small-town Florida, as well as the man who almost committed the perfect crime there."
Ronald D. Hunter is Professor and Head of the Department of Applied Criminology at Western Carolina University. He has also taught at the State University of West Georgia (1999-2005), Jacksonville State University (1989-1999) and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (1988-1989). He received his Ph.D. in Criminology from The Florida State University. Prior to entering academia, Dr. Ronald Hunter was a Sergeant with the Tallahassee Police Department (Florida). He has published a number of articles, book chapters dealing with crime prevention and law enforcement, and books related to law enforcement and criminology. Dr. Hunter is on the Executive Board of Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences and has been honored in “Who’s Who Among American Teachers” (2004) as well as other prestigious acknowledgements. His books include: Police-Community Relations and the Administration of Justice; Crime and Criminality: Causes and Consequences; Research Methods for Criminology and Criminal Justice.
Police-Writers.com now hosts 474 police officers (representing 202 police departments) and their 986 books in six categories, there are also listings of United States federal law enforcement employees turned authors, international police officers who have written books and civilian police personnel who have written books.
I know, I know. 'Emily, you live in New York City'. 'Emily, where did you find a horse?'. Natural thoughts. But there, on the corner of Broadway and Bleeker (two famous, VERY New York streets which is not a natural horse habitat), on my way to help Emily G. dye 130 shirts for the impending Relay for Life, I saw 2 policemen on their horses just straight chillin', and I, the animal lover went over to say hi. 2 more horses joined us, overcome with temptation I asked the cop closest to me if I could say hi, he obliges, the horse obliges and is nice to me and my scratches. Then he nudges me, and then CHOMP.
Okay, it wasn't a chomp. There was no blood, and I have a very minor scratch where the tooth grazed my finger.
But that's what happened in my little world today.
***************************************************************************
also, apparently while I was at Emily's for 5 or more hours dyeing t-shirts in her bathtub, it rained. And as I walked from the subway to my apartment, I realized it smelled like summer rain.
And there aren't words for how much I love that smell.
