The weather is pretty decent right now, on Sunday it's supposed to be 71, so I think it's a perfect day for Michele & I to take the girls to the park & maybe have some lunch, but it's been in the 60's since early February which just depresses me. I like winter & in my opinion, it should be colder in February. And of course, as I usually feel around this time of year, I can feel summer looming, just waiting until the most opportune time to rear its ugly head. I hate Las Vegas summers. I've been here for 21 years & I'm still not used to it. I get hot when it's 75 degrees outside. The only thing good about summer, in my opinion, is that there are no school zones. Everything else sucks. I'm a winter time kind of girl. It says "comfort" to me. The cold, crisp air, a nice hot vanilla latte from Starbucks, even the clothes are cuter. I love shopping for winter clothes.
I don't have much planned today, Dave took my car to work to give it a smog, LOF, & put new tires on it & I don't like driving his truck. Partly because I can't park it without smashing it, & I don't like the bumpiness of it. I like my car. Low to the ground, loud, smooth & such power. You barely have to tap on that gas & away it goes. It's so awesome. Anyone who says you shouldn't have a coupe when you have a kid is just lazy. I have no problem putting Bella in the car or taking her out. The only thing I don't like about my car is that it's an automatic. I wanted a stick but it's not that big of a deal. I can't wait until I can get one of the new mustangs. You know, the 5.0? Awesome.
So if I don't have to go anywhere, I won't but I might take Bella to have some breakfast. I wish everyone a wonderful day. :)

Damn dude, you want to be here and I want to be there. Yet we want to be together! HA! Oh well. I couldn't get another car after this car goes. I want a Yukon or something. Hell yeah. I was thinking of a van cause they're better on gas, but I just couldn't do it. I can't be the typical soccer mom, it's just not me. We all could fit in a Yukon too. WHAT! That would be hella cool. We'd probably just go to Starbucks or something, but hey, we could ride together. You probably wouldn't let me drive though. You'd be like "hand over the keys", and I'd be like "okay". HA! Dude, I make $1400 now! Or something like that, it changes; for the better [or for the worse. Your Dad knows you got your diploma. He's probably complaining about how much you paid for it! HA! He's there though. It's sad, there's an emptiness in the house. Your Dad used to yell at the kids when they got too rough, he would cheer Aunt Dawn up when she was down, he used to sit in his chair. He wouldn't say anything, but his presence gave me comfort. He would always have the best advice, I wouldn't listen, but it was good! The best piece of advice he ever gave me was,"If you died tomorrow, what would you leave your kids?" Not just financially, but what are their views? Have I done the best I can every second of the day? Do the listen to other people? Do they respect other people? Are they gentle to others when they need it? Are they gentle to themselves. It seems a little early to be teaching major life lessons, but parenting starts when the child is conceived. After that, it's about them, not about you. Every step of your life needs to involve them, that means you need to live what you truly believe. Don't just think about it, be who you know in your heart you need to be. Then you have done your job as a parent, because you KNOW you have done the best you can possibly do. Our Dad's are awesome. :-)
