Helium Hello

Because it's always funny when someone sucks on some helium and says "Hello"

what's a schedule?

.

Yesterday was great. We spent some time in the pool, the girls working on their tans, I in the pool, Larry in the yard. It was very nice. When my sister and neice got home, she joined in the pool fun as well. Hannah and Dejah were being cousins - arguing in the pool and I tell Larry, I'd rather hear that than nothing at all.

We all got in the shower and ready for the ball game. A couple of the "boys" from work came over and played pool before the game. Clint brought his 17 year old brother over with him. Ashley was playing him in a game of pool and as he was about to shoot the 8 ball, he stops. He looks over at her and says "How about we sweeten the pot?" Larry & I were right there, and I can see it coming. I'm thinking, he won't possibly say something bad when we are *right here*. Yeah, he does. He says, if I make this shot, you have to give me a kiss. Im dying, it is toooooo funny. Ash says how about if you don't make it, I punch you.

He makes the shot then proceeds to try and collect his rewad, to no avail. It was really funny. He is 17 and we all know what 17 year old boys are like. This was enough for us to go on for the rest of the night.

All but 3 of our employees and their familes were at the game, and a great time was had by all. Cory (the little brother) followed the girls around the stadium and everyone knew what had happened (did I mention we have a very tight knit dysfunctional little family at work? LOL) The Astros won, 9 to nothing, the roof was open and it was a gorgeous night.

We had seven in the tahoe, me, Larry, the girls, Clint & John (the boys) and his little bro. A drive home at 10:30 after several beers by the boys was quite funny. I adore these boys I work with and they protect me like brothers would.

It was the first time all four of us (me, Larry & the girls) all went out and had a good time in a LONG time. After we got home, and everyone left Larry & I settled in to watch Survivor tivo. I couldn't get over Tom winning. Someone tell him the Godfather bravado is way over. I get to bed just after 1am thinking I am going to be toast in the morning. I was to work 9:30 to 6:30, or so I thought.

Right as I am putting my shoes on I get a text message, it is from Mandy, the assistant manager, it reads "Kim, you work at 12, John is 10:30 - 7:30" CRAP! I could have slept in, argh. I send John a text, want to switch? He agrees.

So, here I am completely dressed and ready for work with an hour and a half to spare. Guess I will go ahead and watch the desperate housewives tivo.

***Side note, I am letting Ash out of the house this afternoon, it is her "anniversary" with Chanell. It will be a one time thing with her having to be home at 7, and check in during the day. We'll see how it goes.
