I hear it!

Wow! It's been a while. It's been an "exciting" few days if you can call it that. There has been quite the drama at Johns work and the news reports prove it! On Tuesday Tommy and I kept hearing something loud that sounded similar to a helicopter. I went outside and the sound went away then we heard it again. Not sure why I called John but I did. I figured since he works outside he might know what's going on. I asked him if it was a helicopter and he replied (casually) "Yea, it's a helicopter. He shop is on fire. Let me call you back in a few." Ummm.. What?!  So Tommy and I watched the news and sure enough...there it was! Luckily, no one was hurt - except Vernon's dog and he seems to be recovering well! If you know me, and I'm hoping you do if you are reading this ; ) then you know I am a stresser. I was worried, but overall had an "oh well" attitude about funds. I realize stressing out isn't going to give us money but I still seem to do it most of the time. I just kind of felt like... It is what it is, deal with it. John went to the shop yesterday to talk to Vernon and came home with great news! He will still be getting a paycheck and helping Vernon out with whatever he can, but he will be having a lot more free time! Woohoo! It will be nice since John and I don't have a single day off together and it gives my parents a break! Maybe after they move everything from the Lakehouse (they just recently sold it. Boo hiss) then they can watch them one night so John and I can have a date night?! It's been a while.   So today, I took the kids to a new park in Colleyville with Valerie and her kiddos. John had left for work right after 9 and called me around 11:30 and said he was done with work for the day so he got to meet up with us. Tommy lit up when he saw him! Seems like its not so bad.
