The NIGH****CHMAN - 1/29 - Friday

Good afternoon all.  Wonderful, wonderful Friday!!!!  Looking forward to Tuesday (my next day off).

Rain finally stopped.  I know it will be cold tomorrow, but looking forward to Texas Rangers Fanfest.  Doing some OT tonight and tomorrow.  

Guess I will head on to work now.

Pray for Jenn R. and Eric.  Please.

Just so you know, you need to TAKE YOUR VITAMINS  & SUPPLEMENTS and make sure you get your daily allotment of PROTEIN.

If you are new to the board, this link explains what the NIGHT WATCHMAN is (if you are interested).  Otherwise, just read on, you will probably figure it out anyway.

MariPW - prayers during a stressful time dealing with her job loss.

Vivian - Pray for her during the stressful time she is having with her son and GF moving out in a not so positive manner.  She also asks for prayer for Shawn. 

 

 George....please add Shawn to the prayer list.    He and Natalie came by last night.    He said that they were sleeping in her car.    He also said he had not eaten in 2 days.    i fed them both and then they hung out till 1:30 AM.     When they decided that I was not asking them to spend the night ( told Shawn he could but she wasn't welcome ) then they both left.    My heart breaks for him but he has made his decision.     He needs so much prayer.    Not sure what to ask prayer for though.....wisdom, to have common sense ....not exactly sure but I know that God knows exactly what he needs and I am praying for God's will to be done in his life and for him to wake up and come back to God before it is too late.    We love you and Mary.   Have a great time at Ranger's stadium tomorrow.    Mary and you will be missed at Bayley's.

You gave them the tough love.  They have slept in the car and now know that you are serious. 

I know you might be waivering now, especially with how cold it will be tonight.  If you are bending, what I would do is....  Okay guys, here it is.

1.  Signed contract about following my rules.  Period.  No waivering on them.

2.  No smoking in the house.

3.  You take your medication in front of me or my spouse.

4.  You are expected to be aggressive looking for a job.  Every night, we will talk like a family.  You will let me know where you went looking for a job.  I want details.

5.  If part of the problem with her is they would be sleeping together in your house, it is your house and you can make the rules.  One sleeps on the sofa, one in the bedroom.

6.  Emphasize again, it is my house and I make the rules.  I am doing you a favor.  If you don't like it, get a job and move out.

 George....she is NOT coming back to my home to sleep EVER !!!!!  I can't stand the sight of this girl.   She is BAD NEWS and extemely bad for my son.     Her sister is going to Grapevine Police on monday where she did idenity theft there after being arrested at Target.    She gave them a expired DL of her sisters.     Her sister was stopped the other night and was almost arrested because Natalie didn't show up for her court date.    Her sister had to get out in the pouring rain to show a policeman that she did NOT have any tatoos.    UGH Makes me so angry....her is her sister....single mom trying to raise a 4 yr.old and then she goes out and ruins her baby sister's name to save her own hide !!!!   Someone needs to lock Natalie up and throw away the Key forever !!!!  UGH  SHe is NO GOOD !!!  I will hush now about her.

Why don't ya tell us how you really fee?  LOL.

Sorry you are going through all this.   Just remember, what goes around comes around.  She will get hers.  Some day.

Vivian, I'm praying for you.... that you can get some peace in your heart and your mind to know that you're doing the right thing..... I know it's hard.... but please take care of yourself.....

Hugs!

 Thanks Karen......I KNOW I did the right thing....but I am EVIL to my son right now.   BUT his GF's days are numbered before she is caught and will go to jail and hopefully prison after that....she did idenity theft on her sister.     I am taking care of me.....vitamins and protein in everyday.   Not eating much but I make sure I get my vits, water, and protein in.    Thanks for the prayers Karen.   It is really tough not knowing where your son is and if he is sleeping at someone's home or in his GF's car.     I wouldn't wish this on my worse enemy.


Hugs and blessings ~~ Vivian

Evenin' George...
Well, my parents are packed up and heading home tomorrow.  I really wish they would wait it out one more day because the weather through Arkansas is horrible right now.  Mom is soooo antsy and, well,..."the Weather Channel says it's going to be ok"...so that's how she bases her reasoning for going ahead with plans to drive.  I know it will take them a while to get up to the area where it is crappy, buuuut, they are leaving by 5:00 am for Pete's sake so will hit that area by 10:30-11:00.  Just hope the road crews have that stuff cleared off by then.  My sister heads home from her week long vacation with a group she's with tomorrow as well.  They were in Cancun all week.

I had a sort of stupid, emotional day today for some reason.  Just got bummed.  Heather was at a tennis tourny (yes, in this crappy cold/windy weather) and had won two matches.  Needed one more to advance.  She lost in a tie breaker.  Broke my heart as she wanted it so badly.  I think V's win earlier this week was some motivation on her part, too.  I instantly got teary-eyed thinking what their old coach would have told her.  Dumb, I know, but just wish that guy was still around.  He was so wise and didn't even realize it I guess.  Sigh....

Ok, gotta run.  Paul is exhausted and wants to head upstairs so I need to go puppy-sit Schnitzel.  He's fired up and wants to play so I'll roll the ball to him a few hundred times until he decides he's had enough, curls up next to me and will fall asleep!

Hope you have fun with the Rangers tomorrow......

Nothing wrong with emotions.  She did well regardless.  A little competition doesn't hurt anyone.  Do they go out and watch each other's matches?

You were okay sitting out there?  You need to take care of yourself too.

Gonna have a blast tomorrow.  They came out with the list for who was signing when, and they are split up enough to where Mary and I should be able to get most of the players we want.

Well spring tennis is so much different than the fall "team" tennis.  In the fall, they go as a big group to another school and play just that school so everyone can watch each others' matches.  In the spring, it is scattered.  There is one central "host" location where they all initially go to.  Then, they send them in different directions.  This tourny, for example, was in the Cy-Fair district, so the host school was Cy Springs I think which is where our coach drove the bus to initially.  Then, Heather was assigned to play at Cy Woods, another girl to school B, another to school C, etc.  Each coach from every school is assigned as the location director so they get on a bus with that person and stay with them until all the matches at that particular school are played and over with...which is usually until 4:30 or so.  After all the matches at each school are played and completed, everyone at that school gets back on the bus with the coach who was the director and they go back to the host school and meet back up with their own school.  Kind of confusing but they all figure it out.  The crappy part about that though is generally only a couple kids from the same school are together so none of your school's team mates can watch you play.  I have had to bring Heather hot chocolate or a blanket, etc. in the spring because the weather can be crappy like it was yesterday.  Viktoria wasn't even at this match because earlier in the week, the coach had assigned her to be in a JV/Freshman tourny.  She is on Varsity and not JV, but since she is a Freshman, he was allowed to have her play in that one.  Kind of stacking the deck as most freshman are not on Varsity, but hey, he's allowed and he did which is why she did so well.  I think he knew he had a better chance of pulling out some wins from that tourny than the full blown varsity tourny that was yesterday and today.  None of the kids from our school advanced to today's championship matches.  She is definitely sore this morning.  Obviously playing THAT hard in colder weather beats the body up a little more.  She took a hot shower and will be going to the gym to work the muscles out later.  If not, she'll tighten up even worse!

I didn't sit...I stand/lean on stuff.  Much easier than sitting.  Sitting is definitely easier, but those bleachers are like sitting on cold concrete.  No thanks!!!  I keep a chair out in my Suburban anyway (for Sarah's soccer games) so would have used that if I needed to. 

Hope you and Mary get all the autographs you are hoping to get today!
