Prostitutes and Boom Mania

Well I have pretty much been a slacker with the blog. I have been seriously running around like a mad woman. Don't ask me what I have been doing because I don't know. Iseriously don't know how people with small children manage to stay alive. I think that people must be locking their kids in cages when they need to get something done. I have pretty much figured out that people are in one of three categories and I have nothing against any of the categories. 1- they have tons of family help or some kind of major support system 2- they are on medicine 3- they are from another planet- Vylee just left and she pretty much saved my life. I have this habit of going strong day and night for months and then one day I just crash. it's like my body says, "ok, you're done" and then I need to sleep for like 3 days straight to catch up. James was like "How about you go take a nap for 30 minutes" and I pretty much just said "I'm gonna need like a 5 hour nap, seriously". Elisabeth is also so good to come and help with dinner or watch the girls- she is an angel. A lot has happened in the past few week. Where do I start? Oh yeah, a prostitute/meth addict ran into my house and told me that her boyfriend(my neighbor) was going to kill her-that was fun. I am not going to tell the whole story because it would take a week, but basically she was hiding under my van and popped out of the darkness and scared the crap out of me. she said that she needed the phone and that her "friend" ws going to kill her. Of course James was out to dinner with an old friend and I was home alone with the girls. I went in the garage to get the phone and when I came back out she ran into my house and said he was coming for her and that we had to call 911. I was so freaked out. She called 911 and then I called James and my nieghbor all the while waiting for some scary man to come get me, and then realized that this lady was definitly on drugs and that she had to be a prostitute. The police came and then this scary man came walking around the corner of my house (but he wasn't the guy she was afraid of) he was just her friend, and then James pulled up and it basically all went down on the front lawn. Anyway, I guess it was some action for the day. My neighborhood is very very nice, you would think I lived in the ghetto. I am actually very convinced that most of the worst crimes are commited in very nice neighborhoods. Nicole tripped and bashed her teeth into a table in our living room. I was watching Maya's friend Kate and I loaded everyone into the car and headed for the dentist's office-who happens to be our close friend which is amazing. He had to pull her tooth down a tad. She was so sad and kept saying that she had an ugly tooth and asking when her ugly tooth was going to get better. I felt so bad. I hope it doesn't turn black and fall out. if it does then we'll have to work around it and I'll make her some kind of toothless zombie for Halloween. I'm sure Maya would like that-since she is going to be a witch with a fake nose and warts-lovely. It was so funny to hear Nicole try and talk Maya into being Prince Eric for Halloween since she is going to be Ariel. She was like "Maya, you are going to be prince Eric" and Maya said "No, I don't want to be a boy" and Nicole pretty much wouldn't take no for an answer so I guess I will have to deal with that when the time comes. James and I are going to this strengthening marriage class that our ward has. The bishop pretty much asks people to participate- I think it is a new church experiment. The first class was on Friday and I thought it was pretty good-except the fact that James was out of town and I was by myself. Can you believe that- I went to strengthen my marriage solo- this couple was talking about how they haven't let their kids watch tv for a year. I about fell out of my chair. I think it is great but it is one of those things that I just can't imagine. I need my kids to watch at least 2 shows a day so I can take a shower or do something for 3 minutes. I would pulll my hair out without tv-especially Boom. If you don't know what this is then you are missing out on the greatest channel of all time- All I have to say is Popoye, smurfs, snorks, pink panther, jetsons, scooby-doo, flinstones, and pretty much every other awesome cartoon from the 80's. It rocks. Well, just so you know when I write I never go back and check anything and I never use correct punctuation so don't think I am crazy. Oh yeah, I have to leave with this lovely story that happened to my sister Angela who lives in SLC. She was up in this parking lot that she likes to go to to read in her car, and she looked over at this man a little ways in the distance and he was giving her wierd looks so she looked away, and when she looked back he was running at her car full speed totally naked! Can you believe that? He was sitting in his car waiting to charge at her car naked- I was dying when I heard this. I mean come on put it away!- I love you ang.
