Myrick Family Update

Last night we received word that Lewis, Ira's father had a heart attack while during a stay in the hospital. Unfortunately he wasn't there for a heart issue and didn't have monitors on. Doctors do not know how long Lewis had been without oxygen, and after resuscitation he was placed on life support. After gathering of family that could make it in time, my husband, part of his siblings and mother are at his side at this time. The moved him onto Comfort Care where he will be given pain medication, taken off life support and be at his side to help ease him into his next life.


*****UPDATE*****
Lewis Myrick passed away 1245 AM September 10th, 2008

Bed Bugs

Last night I crashed early. During the 9 pm hour! That's just abnormal for me. BeBe who has been sleeping throughout the night decided he wanted some company by screaming and crying hysterically. My husband went and collected him then brought him into our bed. I learned this morning that this happened around 10 pm. Wow. I thought it was 3 in the morning.

Anyway as I digress, he rolls around and hogs the middle of the bed. Sleeps with his head towards the foot of the bed, so his little feet can pummel my head every now and then. He loves to sleep with Mom and Dad, and Dad loves it just as much. I married an early bird, and gave birth to one as well.

What did I do wrong in life to deserve this early morning treatment?

I love to sleep in snuggled into the warm bed linens. They want to play, talk or do anything but sleep.

I want to sleep. They want breakfast or to play with the remote control (that goes for the both of them).

I want to sleep. They say it's time for the day to get started.


Bah....

Baby Kisses and Hippo Walking

A Christmas present Anthony received was this cool hippo thing where he could push walk, and it can pick up and eat toys. Then when he is older he can sit and ride it around. A couple nights ago out of the blue Anthony surprised us by figuring out on his own that he could walk the hippo around. Of course I taped some of the first videos of it. By the next morning he is the hippo master and pushes the hippo everywhere he can go. My walls and glass doors are taking the brunt of it all. The joy in watching him move his little diaper covered booty is priceless though. Kisses are given frequently in our household. Nothing like the open mouth kiss that babies give. This morning while I was holding him, Anthony planted a big joyful kiss right on my mouth when I was talking to him. What a surprise! Usually I ask him for kisses and if he is willing he will give one. Today was different because he did it all on his own. What a moment! The only dark spot on it was that I saw him giving Mr. Pickles kisses on his nose a few mornings ago.

I know for a fact that Mr. Pickles didn't ask for them. So am I second to the dog?

Old page, New Words

So I finally got back on my old page and updated it to the new version of Blogger. Finally. The old style made me rip my hair out sometimes. I have to say I love the user friendlier version mucho better.

So I decided to bring sexy back, meaning my old blog.

It's made only for me and me only. My thoughts, stupid things I see and want to talk about. I like to save this blog for my family and happier thoughts. I really don't want to bog down this happier blog with the conundrum of my mind.

So It's BACK

YEA HAW!!

I was tagged

Well I really should head to bed, but hey why not live on the edge?

Things I was doing 5 years ago?
I was getting ready for my wedding. My face was swelling up really bad on one side, so much that I looked like Sloth from the movie Goonies. Which created A LOT of additional stress on me. No worries, it went down the week of the wedding. There was a little puffiness, but not like it was before!


Pet Peeves?
People who smack their food, and chew with their mouth open. Ick.
Bad drivers, getting stuck behind slow driver when you are in a hurry. Gum smackers or snappers. Snottiness. People who throw their trash on the ground.

Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
Move outta here and far far away. Buy a large ranch with a pond full of ducks and geese. Fill the garage up with all the cars my hubby wanted. Buy myself a grand piano. I too like Emily would hire a chef and housekeeper. Then I would probably have more kids so I could play with them. What a nice thought! I would vacation in all the warm white sanded islands.

Favorite Food/Snacks:
McDonald's French Fries
Chocolate
Lay BBQ potato chips
Pizza
Eggplant parmigiana
Brownies
green grapes
chocolate
cookies n creme ice cream
starbursts
rice pudding
movie popcorn with butter and salt

New Car

Well we traded in the corolla for a mustang yesterday. Ira has had mustang dreams since he was a little kid. Of course he has owned several old classics that needed to be worked on but they all needed serious money to be dropped into them. He never got the chance to enjoy them like he had hoped. So after some thought, watching a particular car on the dealer lot for months we threw caution to the wind and traded almost straight across. Of course we know that it isn't the smartest move in the world to trade in a reliable, economical car for the gas guzzling sport car, but if you knew my husband you would understand why it was a valuable move for our sanities and marriage.

I am hoping that this might quiet some of the demons that have plagued us since he has been home from Iraq. Ira doesn't get a chance to go out and do a lot of hobbies. Cars are his number one passion. He is wanting to get a local car club together so they can go on rides, compete in car shows and do service projects. Already the past few days I am seeing life back into my husband's eyes. He is working so hard 7 days a week lately and I am happy that he was able to reach out and touch his biggest dream in life yesterday.

I am surprised that he wanted a newer car rather than the classic. But at least with this one he can drive it and slowly build his 67 fastback. Instead of trying to get the 67 restored in record amount of time and HUGE amounts of money.

We recently sold our 1969 Mach 1 a few months ago. Now we are proud owners of a 2003 Mach1. I guess we just love our ponies and gotta hear the hoof beats all the time
