Yesterday at the lake started off very fun and nice. The weather was perfect, the kids were playing in the water, me and my mom and brother were chatting on the beach. Then, around 1:30 pm the unthinkable happened. An 8 year old boy was missing...his parents were frantic. The police were all over the beach on a megaphone calling out his name. They weren't sure if he had been abducted, drowned or just wandered off.
They made all the people get out of the lake and they began the search....combing the water for a body. It was the saddest thing I have ever seen. The busy loud happy beach suddenly came to a deafening silence and calmness, as people watched on, hoping that the child would not show up drowned, but at the same time hoping the child would show up so the parents would know where he was.
An hour later we decided to leave because they weren't letting people back in the water and it was just heartbraking to watch the parents in agony over their son. As I was walking back up to the car with my beach stuff I saw bloodhounds and more police driving in with sirens. A big rescue/search boat was pulling in, as well. The mother of the boy was walking around barefoot in her beach clothes........It broke my heart.
As we left the park, the rangers checked our car. They were checking all the cars. I cannot stop thinking about this. I tried to look it up on the internet...the newspapers for that area, but I cannot find a single thing on it. I need to know what happened. This morning in church during communion meditation, that is what I prayed for. I prayed that those parents know where their baby is tonight.
During the time when they made everybody get out of the water, we took the boys to the snack bar and I took this photo of them. In the background you can see that there is nobody in the water...and people are staring off watching.
Yesterday was much more of a productive day than the rest of the week has been. I didn't have to work today, so I went to the gym, ran some errands, grocery store, and Camden helped me pick some hot peppers off the pepper plants outside. I made some awesome homemade hot/spicy salsa with the peppers! Good stuff!
We went downtown to a brewery that has this awesome deck for some after dinner drinks. I always love going down there and sitting on their deck in the spring and summer months. Ron had the beer special and I had wine. Camden had a plate of colored torilla chips. What a warm perfect evening! It was nice to just sit there and chill out after a week of stress.
I got up this mornig early and went running and now I'm getting ready for a day at the lake. My mom is picking Camden and me up at 9 am. My brother and his son are also going. Ron and Austin are doing some volunteer work building homes today at our church.
Well, I should get going..coffee is calling my name....... ammmmmmmyyyyyy ammmmmyyyyyyy.............. LOLOLOL
Today sucked. Another long day of too much work and stress and this time I DID cry at work. What a shitty day. Then to hear that Farrah and MJ died. What a crappy week. I am very very down this week. I feel like I have lost something and can't get it back.
I just wish I could find true happiness again. Why is it so hard?
Tomorrow I will be running errands and then working from home on my office laptop. This weekend will be quiet, as well. Ron and the boys are going to the Indy car races Saturday night, so I'll be alone.
OMG I totally suck. This blog is dying a slow death. Why don't I care anymore? What is wrong with me?
Last week I flew to Texas to meet up with the rest of my family. Austin flew with me and met his dad at the airport. They left and I haven't seen him since. He will be flying home tomorrow.
Ron and Camden picked me up at the airport and we drove down to his parents' house. His sister and her family and his cousins were all there. We had a nice time spending time iwht them.
Camden and his cousin.
I stayed there a couple days then drove myself back up to Houston to hang with my girlfriends for the weekend! I even met up with my ex-husband's ex-wife. We had a good time together!!!!!!!!
We partyied pretty hard at a few bars and listened to some great bands. We also hit up the Houston House of Blues one night!!!!!
I can't believe how much fun I had and really hated coming home. I wish I could have stayed there for a few more days!!!
We are officially in our new office building, yeah!!! The move took place Saturday and today was our first official work day in the new space. The drive wasn't too bad...no accidents to deal with, thank God! The unpacking is overwhelming, but we will get it done.
Me in my new cube. My hair looks hideous in this photo...must be the lighting or something. Icky!
Friday night Ron and I went to the Greek Festival and had some yummy food, desserts and wine. Speaking of wine....Camden was Whining the entire time! We stayed long enough to enjoy a little bit of the music and then we left. It wasn't worth my time listening to him bitch and complain.
Saturday my mom kept Camden overnight, so we went downtown to a fun place with friends and had a blast! We sat on the patio all night long eating and drinking. Good times good times! I love summer months!
Sunday we got up to go to church and I had a bunch of office work to do (did it at home) and laundry...boring...but I was exhausted after the night before.
Check out these photos of my garden. My squash plants have babies on them. How adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
