Biker Chick

So much like her daddy, my little helion longs for wheels of her own. Two days ago now Doc purchased a new Harley-Davidson Motorcycle, much with my approval. Yesterday he brought home a license plate cover and took WildCat down to the parking lot with him to put it on, she loved every minute of it. While down there he called me on the cell, 'Get the camera and get some shots of WildCat on the Bike' he said. So I go to the balcony with the camera and there WildCat is, straddling that bike and streaching to keep her hands on the handlebars (fear not the engine was not running). While I snapped pictures she vrrummed and pretended to ride, smiling up proudly at me periodically. Today her grandma L. sent her a black leather jacket to go with her black leather boots he Uncle Phill sent her for christmas. So she's all decked out and ready to ride....if only she was old enough that I'd let her. Oh well Doc promised a new bicycle as soon as the snow's gone for good, but right now she'll just have to dream of wheels as the snow falls. In a few days when the snow melts again I'll have Doc take her out in all her biker gear to pose on the bike again.

WildCat turns 5!!

Happy Birthday to my little WildCat! Today is WildCat's 5th Birthday.

We threw WildCat's party yesterday because Doc couldn't get off work today, but she dosen't know the difference anyways. We had cake and presents and then let her play with her new stuff till we sent her to bed, not a big deal, but I had the pleasure of having Wildcat say "Thanks mommy, that was the best birthday party ever!" It made all the work I put into it worthwhile. :)

Home Sweet Home

Well Vacation was fun but now it's back to work.

I had a great vacation catching up with friends, beachcombing, swimming, and getting my tattoo re-done.

Wildcat and I collected a lot of seashells which I'm sure we'll use in some crafty way, we spent hours walking the beach on the two warm days we were blessed with. Doc had arranged for us to stay in a king size room which had an adjoining living room and kitchenette. It also had two TV's hooked up with cable which came in handy on the wetter days, and a balcony overlooking the ocean.

It was great, it was fun, I'm glad we went but even happier to be home.

G-Mail invites

This subject seems the biggest news in blogdom. It seems G-mail just dumped another 50 invites on their users, and consequently I have run into no less than a dozen rants on this subject today.

AngelBoy

I just totally had my night made, my AngelBoy sent me an e-mail.

AngelBoy is my oldest child, WildCat's half-brother. He dosen't live with me, he lives in Alaska with my parents, so i don't see him very often. Every once in awhile he e-mail's me a little note, small treasures in otherwise unremarkable days.

I gave you a bit of the story of WildCat, so here's the one about my AngelBoy.

I gave birth to AngelBoy 6 days after my 19th birthday, his father was a married man just not to me. When we started seeing each other he said he was divorced, turns out he was only separated. When I was four months pregnant I called him to tell him the baby was a boy, he responded by telling me that his wife wanted him back and he didn't know what to do. I was calmly furious, broken hearted, and a bit in shock so I told hi that, that decsion had nothing to do with me then I gave him a terse goodbye and hung up the phone. I have never heard from him since. By the time my son reachen 5 months old it was aparent that he was sick, no one knew with what. I was jobless, and clueless so I did the what I belived, and still belive was the best thing to do. I gave him to my parents to raise. I miss him yes, every minute of every day but that's just a fact of my life that for his happiness and welfare I have no problem accepting. So when I get those special little notes, it means the world to me.

No Silence....Please

Once I could sit in complete silence and it didn't bother me a bit. Now with Doc out of the house the silence is near defaning, despite the aquarium sounds, the hamster on his wheel, the occasional bell ringing from the birds cage, and the radio playing less than a foot from my face. When Doc's here, I can handle silence, but without him the time when WildCat's asleep takes alot to deal with.

Truth be told it's mostly that I worry about him when he's not near me. January 2003 he was in a very bad motorcycle accident, so up until eight or so months ago I spent my time caring for him. I guess that makes me overly cautious about his well being, even more so than I am about WildCat's. He must realize this because he calls a lot when he's out of the house, which he never did before the accident. He always calls to check in when he goes out with friends, and more often than not they just get together here instead of going out. It's nice to be humored, lol.

Anti-terror chart

Okay, so a couple of days ago I instituted a sticker chart for WildCat, usually it works great and she's been relativly good since I put it up. Then this morning rolls around and she decides she dosen't care about stickers today, she just wants to lounge around watch T.V., read, and draw in her pajamas. Can't say I blame her though, Doc is on duty today so we likely won't see him till at the earliest tomorrow afternoon. So I'm in my jogging suit, and she's in her jammas and it is a lazy day today. Unfortunatly lazy days make her a bit cranky lol. Soon she'll be in bed though and it'll finally be my time.

Now, if I had any friends in the area I would be havin a girls night in, as I don't I am going to play on the computer, draw, and watch t.v. lol.

I'll Think About That Tomorrow

Sorry for the lack of communication, been busy on some artwork for WildCat's Auntie Legs. I will be back on to post at least a small update, even if the urge to create art hits me instead. Fear not I will leave you at least a crumb.

Sir Teddy the Brave

And now we bring to you The Adventures of Sir Teddy the Brave. The story of a young squire and his quest to become a knight.

Okay so I'm bored, but it's cute and intresting. WildCat and I have knights adventures with her favorite bear Paddy 'teddy' Bear, Raggedy Anne and often other of her stuffed friends. I decided to pen(well type anyways) our adventures so she can read them later, and I though y'all might get a kick outta them.
