Trent's Dreams Fullfilled Continued!!!

Well the pursuit Trent was in was published in the local Lawrence County Newspaper. I figured I would post what was in there so that my blog Policeman's Wife and Fullfilled Dreams would make more sense.

A Summertown resident who allegedly dragged a Mt. Pleasant Police Officer while fleeing the scene of a traffic stop early Saturday morning, was apprehended after leading authorities on a three county chase. Mt. Pleasant Police Chief Tommy Goetz indicates that the incident started when Officer Brian Bedsworth, a former Lawrence County Sheriff’s Deputy, initiated a traffic stop on a driver for speeding. While conducting the stop, Goetz indicates that Bedsworth learned the driver of the white Ford Focus, Eddie Eugene Roberts of 80 Highway 20, Summertown, was unable to produce any sort of identification. At that point Roberts allegedly began to flee the scene, trapping Bedsworth between the door and the car and dragging him a short distance. As Roberts fled, Bedsworth was able to fire upon the vehicle.
A “Be On the Look Out” alert was quickly issued for the surrounding areas, and Lawrence County Sheriff’s Deputies made their way to two addresses listed for Roberts, to determine whether he had gone home. Deputy Brian Thomason reports that he drove past Roberts’ Highway 20 residence, then turned around. As he once again approached the home, he reports a vehicle pulled into the driveway. He quickly pulled in behind the vehicle, exited his patrol unit, and drew his weapon. He indicates he ordered Roberts to stop, but that he, “looked at me, turned and walked into the house.” Thomason reports that Roberts walked to a rear bedroom and shut the door. A short time later he exited, walked back through the home, and opened a window. When Thomason again ordered him to “put his hands up,” he indicates that “Roberts just smirked and shut the window back.” Roberts then reportedly walked back outside, got into his vehicle and left. Several Lawrence County Deputies gave pursuit, following Roberts along Highway 20 into Maury County. They indicate that he wrecked around the Mt. Pleasant Quik Mart, then turned around and headed west on Highway 20 with his headlights off. They indicate that while traveling without his headlights Roberts swerved into the path of an oncoming patrol car. The deputy indicates he swerved and was barely able to avoid a head-on collision.
Reports show that Roberts continued to travel the area, turning onto several streets before returning to Highway 20. Deputies report that he was traveling at excessive speeds; sometimes with his headlights on, and sometimes off. He lead deputies into Lewis County for quite a distance before turning onto Swan Creek Road then Mt. Joy Road, heading back into Maury County.
After entering Maury County, deputies report Maury County Deputies took the lead. When Roberts stopped along Mt. Joy Road, they report deputies attempted to push him into a ditch to stop him, but that he exited the ditch, striking Thomason’s patrol car. Maury County deputies then deployed spike strips. Roberts ran across the strips, puncturing his tires, however he continued to flee for a short distance. At that point, deputies report that Roberts lost control of his vehicle in a curve and crashed. He was then taken into custody by Maury County officers.
Once Roberts had been apprehended deputies returned to his Highway 20 residence and obtained permission to conduct a search. They report finding a small amount of a substance believed to be marijuana, along with rolling papers.
Roberts faces numerous charges from multiple agencies. Following his arrest Saturday morning he was transported to the Maury County Jail where he has since been held under a bond of $170,000. He had an initial court appearance in Maury County General Sessions Court on Monday.
Authorities with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation are currently conducting an investigation into the discharge of Bedsworth’s weapon. The entire matter also remains under investigation by authorities with various other agencies.

This is what made me say Trent's dreams had been fullfilled. He finally got his high speed pursuit that he has wanted every since he became a cop. This pretty much sums everything up. Way to go baby. That a way to SERVE AND PROTECT. I love you my Little Hero!!!

Anywho, I posted another blog earlier concerning my test today. Keep scrolling down and reading to see about that.

Could the Monster be Defeated???

I did not realize until yesterday how stressed I was about my test today. Yesterday all it took was the drop of a pen and I was bawling like a baby. I felt absolutely crazy. Any who, I got up this morning to a very sweet note left by my hubby wishing me luck. Needless to say, that had me crying again. The trip to Nashville for the test went well with lots and lots of prayers on the way. I go in there, get seated at my computer and said yet another prayer and then got started. The test was not much what I expected. Yes it was like all other test (tough and tricky at times) but seemed to be easier. There were 2 main topics that I noticed what seemed like a ton of questions on. One of which was REM behavior disorders (RBD) and the other being medicines. I thought RBD was an odd topic for then to just focus on so much but I was glad because all of those questions seemed to be really easy. Medications on the other hand is a weakness of mine. The one medicine it seemed they drilled me to death about was Anti depressants which I knew what they done to sleep so it was good. I did not go back and re answer questions but I did notice so many of these questions on the same med, I went back and re checked all of those because I thought they were trying to trick me. There were 6 questions on that one med alone. All of which of the questions were basically the same thing just worded differently. So I know I got those 6 right. There were a few also on EKG which is also a weakness of mine but luckily they questioned on VTach and Bigeminy which I knew what those were also. Seemed like every topic they asked me about, I was mostly familiar with and able to answer pretty easily. I was still tripped up by one thing and I remember about 4 or 5 questions on the one topic and I think I got 1 right but the other 3 or 4 are very questionable. I may have missed all of them. Who knows.

This test seemed so much easier than my last 2. I feel so good about this test. I really have NO Doubt in my mind that I passed it however, I am trying not to let myself get my hopes up nor get too excited just in case. Once I submitted the test, it said it would be 20 business days before I would receive results. This means I will not find out until April 24th. Yuck that means I will find out while in Boston. Matter of fact, that is the day of the Game we are going to. Lets hope and Pray for a big PASS so that it will just make my day even better and not ruin it. Better yet, lets just hope and Pray that I get them in before we even go on our trip. Could the monster possibly be defeated this time? We sure hope so, that would mean a good raise is in store for me.

Lesson Learned!!

This will be a very quick and short blog. I just had to post it though.

Tonight me and Trent had a steak dinner. Trent always fixes the steaks while I fix everything else. Well everything was ready except for the steaks and I had it all sitting on the stove and went outside to Trent. There were 4 pieces of bread some potatoes and some okra sitting there and this is what I came back inside to.

Only 3 pieces of bread. Of course the bread was on the front of the stove because the steaks were not there at that time but I figured I would show our whole yummy meal. Bullet had jumped up on the stove snatched a piece of bread and had it demolished by the time I got back in the house. I was not outside no time before I had came back in. SO LEASON LEARNED, DO NOT leave food on the stove and leave Bullet inside by himself. Thanks Trent for teaching him to jump on counters. lol.

Policeman's Wife and Dreams Fullfilled

It seems that the past few weeks have been so crazy as far as Trent's work is concerned. There have been several calls that I have known he was going on and all I could do was suddenly pray for him and his safety that everything would be fine. You hear so many people say how hard it is to be a policeman's wife, blah blah blah. I feel that it could be difficult in its times however I do not feel that it is hard in the ways that most people mean it. The only way that I think it is hard is the part of being worried about his safety and his safe return home. Here is a Poem that I sometimes think about and I really try to take the last verse to heart. When he gets home I always love to hear his stories of what happened that night just to give him a chance to get everything off his chest and let everything out if he saw anything crazy or if he just needs to vent or what not. I always try to be brave and a good support for him. I must admit it is hard for me to be brave at times but I just trust in God that everything will be fine.

I Am A Policeman's Wife

A policeman's wife I'm proud to be
But in my heart I know
He might not make it home again
Each time he's called to go.

I believe that as his wife
I have a special part to play
To encourage him and love him
And support him all the way.

He always does his very best
But society has its flaws
And he's in danger everyday
From those who break our laws.

And so I say a prayer and hope
That there will come a time
When we don't have to live in fear
Of violence or of crime.

I know he is the bravest man
That I will ever see
And I will try, in my own way
To match that bravery.


As I was typing this, I knew that Trent was in the middle of something serious as it usually seems to be lately. Trent has always dreamed of and wanted to get into a high speed chase for whatever crazy reason. I guess it is just the crazy cop adrenaline rush type of thing. Lets just say his Dreams have been full filled and he got what he wanted. He says he is good to go now. I say I am ready for everything to calm down and there be some peace and quiet every now and then (at least for a while).

As I have previously mentioned, I am so very Proud and Honored to be a Policeman's wife. I love him so much and respect him for his bravery. Even though I am proud, I have to admit, it can be a bit worrisome at times. I love you Trentie. You are my Hero!!!

Just Blah

Wow, our lives seem so hectic and drama filled lately. We will just leave it at that. Everything is getting better and we are moving on from ignorant people. Me and Trent both were in very rare form from yesterday afternoon until we went to bed this morning. Don't think anyone wanted to mess with us lol. We have just been so blah. Needless to say, now more than ever, we are looking forward to and counting down to our vacation. God knows we need it to get away from here and leave all the Lawrence County drama crap here while we go and enjoy ourselves together.

I am still so very grateful and Thank God each and every day for giving me such a Wonderful Marriage and such a Wonderful Husband. Trent is the best man ever. I love the way he is so level headed and thinks things through before speaking or reacting and how he is so laid back and just does not let things get to him. I guess when you have a "flighty" person like me that reacts so quickly to things and does not just let it go so easily, it is an even balance to have him on my side trying to make me realize it is nothing to fret over. "Let it go" as he says and I need to learn to do that more often.

Anywho, to the good stuff. Yesterday we got out electricity bill in. Must I remind everyone there were 2 of them that was $280 and then the next month it was $230. That last month that it was $230, was the month that half of the bill was with the old unit and half of it was with the new unit. This month was our first full month with the new unit on it and it is back to normal, only mid $100's. That is just such a sigh of relief. We were really curious how it would be and how much it would help with the new unit and it has already made a huge difference. Thank God.

Yesterday was day 4 of Bullet on his chain while outside. Day 1 he snapped the collar and Day 2 and 3 went well. Day 4 Trent took him out when he got home from work and he done well for a while and then he got hyper when Trent was getting ready to bring him in and low and behold, he snapped the other collar too. I went to Walmart and got a new color which buckles like a belt buckle and I think it should work better since it is metal and not plastic and should not snap the buckle as easy. The other few times yesterday and today, he has done well and so far not broke the new collar. I guess we shall see. I guess if we have to keep on replacing collars, we would maybe be just as cheap to just do the wireless fence and see if that works, if not then return it. Who knows what we will try. Right now we will keep trying this collar and go from there.

Anywho, just a quick update. Not to much interesting but some of you already know what the first thing was about. I just not going to get into all of that on here. Life truely is great.

Passport

I had applied for my passport a month ago today. I was starting to get nervous becuase they had told me I could track my application and the status and everything online but my information was not showing up basically as if I had never even applied. I called today and everything is showing up fine in their system, just for some reason not showing up on the tracking website. I had learnt Trent social and was afraid I had added a few of his numbers in mine instead of my actual numbers so I was afraid it would not process or that it had gotten lost. I then was afraid if it had gotten lost, I would have to apply for a new Birth Certificate since they had mine and I was terified I would not get the new one back in time to reapply. I had all kinds of things running through my head since it was not showing up like they said it would. It was such a relief that they said it is showing in their system with no errors or anything. Basically everything is good to go and they are working on it now. It has not been shipped yet but it is being processed. Anywho, I can now relax and just get ready for all the fun to begin. Boston is coming up quickly and I can not wait to go watch the RedSox vs. Yankees. I even had a dream about it last night. I can't wait. On the cruise, we are not sure yet what we are doing in Grand Cayman which is our first stop. We are thinking we might go on a helicoptor ride but have not made a final decision on that yet. However, in Cozumel, we have already reserved our excursion and all that is finalized. We are going to take a speed boat over to a private island called Isla Pasion (Passion Island)which is supposed to be the nicest island of Cozumel. I figured I would post a video of the actual speedboat ride for everyone to see. Just click on the link below and it will take you to the site to watch it. I can not figure out how to get it directly on my blog but will keep trying for convienience.

It looks like so much fun and I can't wait but at the same time, I say that this looks like a rollar coaster ride and I don't really like roller coasters. I can see it coming, I will either pee all over myself or will be throwing up one.

Just wanted to post the video.

So Far, So Good!!!

Here is my baby on his chain. Today is day 2 of trying it out and it seems to be good. One of the neighbor kids ran over here today and their black lab followed him. Bullet just sat there with his butt in the air and his belly on the ground just waiting for the other dog to get closer. He knew he could not pass his boundaries because of the chain. I think he is already getting used to it and it is gonna work. There has not been anymore tugging to break the collar. I said my luck it won't be until 2am until he decides to do it on me again. I sure hope not though.

In the back of this picture, you can see the tree line. This is the tree line that he ran through and found a break in the fence. If you look closer, you can see the field in the back of the tree line and how big it is. He was in the middle of the field by the time Trent could actually get him the other night.

Anyways, wish us luck that this continues to work so that we don't have to fork out all that money right now to either do the chain link fence or the underground one. So far, So good.

Kid in a Candy Store

Today, me and Trent went to Greene's Military and Police store in Nashville to get his vest. Now of course when a cop walks in, they can not just look at one thing. Trent was like a kid in a candy store gone crazy. He had been wanting a certain gun holster for quiet a while now and I never knew what it was to go get it and he never took the time to go get it nor wanted to spend the money on it. While we were there, I convinced him to just take a look at it. His face instantly lit up once he got to playing with it. He was not going to get it due to the money but I could not let him walk out of the store with out it due to him being so excited about it. I had told him now that I know what it is if he did not just get it, he would have a surprise one day because I would get it myself. It is a level 3 holster which gives him a quicker draw yet it is tougher to get out since it is level 3 and he loves it. Even if one of the things is not snapped, it is still a level 2 to where no criminal can get it out. We finally got him fitted for his new vest and it the exact one that he wanted plus they had it in stock. Everything worked out perfect and we got it today. While we were there, he had called to make sure he was getting the correct level of vest. The guy he had called is the same one that keeps saying the department has no money to just wait till July. He didn't understand why Trent had went to get one himself but said to make sure to save the receipt and we would get reimbursed. By the time he was getting off the phone with him, another officer called Trent and had actually called the Chief and chief had also told us their was no money in budget but to make sure to keep the receipt so that we could get reimbursed. It will be really good if we actually do get reimbursed because it about killed Trent to spend all that money. Trent all day just had a blank look on his face and was really quiet because he could not see spending that money but knew that it was something that he not only needed but had to have. I am so relieved that he actually has one that he likes and will wear now.

To a different story, lately Bullet has decided when he goes out, sometimes he will run off and sometimes he will come right back to us. As Trent explains it, Bullet decided to take a nature hike the other night. We were getting ready to leave and go see Leah and we took Bullet out to use the bathroom before leaving. He decided that he would just run off. Normally when he runs, he goes next door to his brothers but this time, he decided to run to the tree line. He then proceeded to run through the tree line, find a break in the fence, run past the tree line into this big field to the side of our property. Trent had to jump the fence and run around the HUGE field next to us to get him. That was not as easy as it sounds. Trent was out there chasing him and trying to get him back for 35 minutes. We had been getting tired of him randomly running off but this definitely done us in. We had then decided that we were putting up a fence. To make it a quick explanation, I will just say we have a huge back yard and it would be way way too expensive to fence in the whole thing and do not know how we would just fence in about 1/4 to 1/2 an acre without chopping up the yard with the fence and it looking ridiculous. I guess if it come down to it, we could do it in the very back possible corner? Who knows. We then decided we would try an underground fence. We actually found one that is wireless and you don't have to dig to put it underground but works the same way. We went to Pet smart and actually come to the conclusion we would just try to anchor something into the ground and get a really long chain and let him use the bathroom on that and also give him freedom to still run some. By doing this we will save a lot of money even a lot more than actually doing the wireless fence. The wireless is $300 and a fence would only be god knows how much to where we paid like $40 for the chain and anchor. I HATE the fact of chaining him like that but it seems that it will work OK. We will give it a trial and then if that does not work, we will get the wireless fence. We will probably eventually do the wireless fence anyways so we don't have to chain him but this will save some money for now since we spent so much already today with Trent police stuff. Any who, I hammered and anchored the thing down in the ground, gave it a shot and Bullet done good on it. He used the bathroom, chased me, ran around and seemed good until, he jerked so hard, he snapped the collar he was wearing and totally broke it. We then put another collar on him and he has been out several times on it and done well. He does not seem to mind it. However, I am sure he loves the fact of just being able to run instead of us beating the fool out of him for actually running away. He tried to dodge Trent and run from him earlier and realized he couldn't. As bad as I hate chaining him, I must say it is really nice to be able to take him out and not worry about him running away on me at 2am when it is pitch black and I am chasing him over the yard (not to mention others yards too). It also makes me feel better to know he is not chained outside all the time. He is still and always will be an inside dog but he will only be on it when he is using the bathroom and maybe to run and play a little.

Any who, enough of a blog for the day. It is time for us to hit the bed.

My HUBBY, My HERO

All I can start out with is OH WHAT A DAY yesterday. Me and Trent had both only had 3 hours of sleep and returned to work that night unwillingly. I will not go into great detail on the blog about the things that went on due to them being work related for Trent. Trent does not like me going into much detail on the blog about some calls he goes on and this one would definately not fly with him. I don't think I would post it wether he agreed or not. Anyways. We will just sum the call up just by saying it came out on the radio like it would be a quick easy call but turned into more than it seemed. Let me take you several months back by saying Trent has not worn his Bullet Proof vest in several months and I have harped on him every day because of it. His vest does not fit him properly and that is why he does not like to wear it because that makes it uncomfortable. It still covered his chest so it was better than nothing but he did not see it that way. He had turned into the department a while back to get a new one but they never approved it so he just forgot about it. However I still pushed the fact that we would just pay for it and he would get a new one anyways. He had always told me to quit freaking out relax and everything would be ok. (me knowing anything is possible in his work force) Lets just say that after what had happened yesterday, he made the statement that he thought he was 10 foot tall and bullet proof but he realized that he is onlly 5'8 and not bullet proof. He said yesterday was definately an eye opener to him that no matter how small the call is anything could happen. He had told me that he was sorry and he understood my concerns but not to worry that from now on out, I can bet the vest will always be on while at work. Before leaving for work yesterday, he put the old vest on and will continue to until he gets a new one. He had went back into work last night and tried to get approved yet again for a new vest and they told him to wait until July. At this point, we are not waiting any longer. We will take matters into our own hands and get him a new one ourselves. If they can get one in July then we are just thinking they can reimburse us then. We will probably be going this weekend to get him fitted for a new one and hopefully they will have his size in stock if not then we will have it ordered. He knows exactly what kind he wants that is most comfortable and everything for him so it should not be very difficult. The one he wants is pretty pricey but price is not an option to me. I would and will do whatever it takes to have him safe and protected at night. I say it all the time but MY HUBBY truly is my HERO. I am so proud of him and everything that he does. I am so thankful to God for his safe return home each and every day.

Just want to end it with Trent's favorite Policemans Prayer.

POLICEMANS PRAYER
Oh Almighty God,
Whose great power and Eternal wisdom embraces the Universe,
Watch over all Policemen and Law Enforcement Officers.
Protect them from harm in the performance of thier duty to stop crime, robberies, riots, and violence.
We Pray, help them keep our streets and homes safe day and night.
We recommend them to your loving care because their duty is dangerous.
Grant them your Almighty protection,
Unite them safely with their families
After duty has ended.
AMEN.

Newness

The Weather is Wonderful. I love it and wish it would stay this way forever. We cut our unit off a few days ago and decided yesterday we would open windows. We are enjoying the breath of fresh air. It is so peaceful here in our neighborhood where we live. Even with windows open, it is just so quiet and perfect. You can hear birds chirping while just sitting on the couch and chilling. It is the best. Might I add, Bullet loves the windows open.

Every since the windows have been open, Bullet just sits on his chair (half the time with his paws on the window seal) and watches outside constantly. It's like he can't get enough of it. Half the time he just sits there and whines because he wants to go outside. Note: the other dogs right in front of us, one being his brother that he probably sees and wants to go play with. I would love to have a fence put up in the back yard so we can let him run around out there without being able to run over and wrestle with the other dogs. It nerves us so bad when he runs over there because it is so hard to pull them apart.

Today I decided to get my hair cut back to one length with lots of layers in it like I used to wear it all the time. I was doing this in hopes to letting it grow back out. I guess the back of it was shorter than what I thought though because once it was all cut it ended up being really short. Anyways, I can now try to start letting it grow out one length. It definitely needs to grow out a little more. It is not bad, I just have to get used to it being this short. I have always had short hair, just not this short. Usually about chin length. I do love the kinda sweeping bangs look though. I say kinda because that's not really what they are but sorta look it.

Warning: I look like a man in all pictures I have tried to take of it.

Very short but like I said, I can not get a good picture at all of it. Once it grows out just a tad more, it will look much better.

I took this picture because I thought it would be able to give a little better visual of it. The picture from the front just makes me look like I have no hair I guess all the darkness just disguises the look some but here you can tell there is some there lol. It does have lots of short layers thought which I also love with the little bang look.

I started feeling sick on Sunday night. I did not feel horrible, I just did not feel well. I have just gradually gotten worse since then. (Still not horrible but enough to make me feel drained and just blah). Sore throat, pressure in chest, cough, nauseated at times. My mom has bronchitis that was almost Pneumonia and a guy at work came in last week after having a 103 degree fever coughing, hacking, sneezing, etc. etc. etc. I just knew I was gonna pick something up from him. Thanks Larry. lol. Anyways, I went to the doctor today and I have Pharyngitis and the beginnings of Bronchitis. He gave me an antibiotic hoping that this would make it go away before it actually did get bad. He said just a gut feeling but he thought that even with the antibiotic, I would get worse before I got better. I sure hope not but I guess we will see. He also tested me for the flu, that was negative but he did say it was really bad in this area right now that if I get worse, he did want to retest me for that. I really do not think it is that but I will just take my medicine and go from there. Hopefully the antibiotic will knock it out quick though and I won't get worse. I do not have time to be sick. I gotta be able to study for test, not to mention I don't need to use my PTO because that needs to be used for my vacations coming up.

I reckon that shall be it for now.

Trent's Family Dinner and More

I can't sleep right now so I figured I would just blog. lol. Yeah my complaint was sleeping too much and now I am complaining of not sleeping. Makes a lot of sense huh. I still sleep too much when I don't take my medicine but the thing is, when I take my Provigil (wake up med) and don't take my Ambien (go to sleep med) the next morning when I am ready to go to bed, then I never can seem to get good sleep. Sometimes, time just does not allow me to take my Ambien so I have to suffer through not sleeping and I can't stand it. Anywho to my point of blogging.

We had our dinner with Trent family last night and everything was great. Lots of good food and family time. There ended up being about 25 people there including Trent family, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, etc. At the end, we took lots of pictures and I figured I would just post some of immediate family for everyone to see.

"Just the Two of Us"

"The Kiddos"

The Whole Haddock Gang

Once we got home, we decided to just sit back and relax for a while and of course Bullet thought he needed to relax with us. Of course we can not have a night of pictures and me not come home and take some of the baby. lol.

First, just another one of us 2.


I swear Bullet is so Spoiled Rotten. I was laying on Trent lap and Bullet could not stand the fact that he wasn't getting any attention so he crawled up behind me and laid down on Trent lap too. As you can tell, Bullet then proceeded to wrap his arms around me neck and just lay there.

It seems every time Trent takes a picture with Bullet, he has a choke hold on the poor dog. I just thought this pic was funny how Bullet is got his tongue out.

Oh what a coincidence (lol), it also seems that every time Bullet is in a picture with me, he is laying on top of me.

Anywho, life as we know it is going well right now. No complaints just living life as it comes. We still on the same ol' crappy never see each other schedule however this month is switched around somewhat at Trent's work due to other shifts going to in service. Since it is switched around, starting this weekend, we will have a little more time together than normal. Starting yesterday we will have 4 days off together, next weekend I think will be 4 again (may just be 3)and then the weekend after that I believe is 3 again. I don't think we will know what to do with ourselves. Our Boston Trip officially starts in 46 days and my cruise starts in 76 days. I can not wait to just get away and have all that time off with Trent and enjoy ourselves.

On another note. I would be able to enjoy my vacations much easier if I can just tackle the monster and pass my stupid test this time. My test is coming up in a quick 16 days. Time is flying by and making me more and more nervous. I have definitely done a little more this time to prepare myself a little better however, I don't think anyone will ever be prepared for the monster that it is. I along with a few other people bought some actual Practice Test off of the sleep website which I think will help quiet a bit and then someones daughter at work took an A Step program and copied all the information from there and I have that information too. For people not familiar with sleep, A Step program is something that everyone is having to take now before taking the test if you have not been through the schooling that I went to. Since I went to the school, I did not have to take the A Step nor was I gonna pay for it but it ended up just being a trade off that since we bought the test and she paid for the program, we would just swap information. Hopefully all of this extra information will really benefit me this time. I sure hope so. I really felt so stupid when I failed last time and if the 3rd time is not a charm this time, I will feel like such a failure. It is getting to the point to where I just don't know what else to do. I feel like I know my job, I have been told I know my job, so why in the world can I not pass this stupid thing. I know I am not a good test taker, I know I have to read things 100 times before it sinks in and I understand it and I need to focus more on questions and answers before jumping to a conclusion about the answer but I really took my time on the last test and still failed. Granted only by 2 point but still. I have to pass the test by 2010 or I don't have a job. This still gives me 4 more times to take it but I am just not willing to do that. After 6 total times of taking it and still not passing, I would think I would need a new career anyways. I guess enough griping about the test. I am wasting time griping that I could be studying.

Nothing new and exciting coming up so who knows when next blog will be but until then, hope everyone else is doing just great.

Accomplished

I am so proud of myself. Trent favorite ever is Chocolate Gravy and Biscuits that his mom used to make. I have made it 3 other times and failed. The last time I made it I swore I would never make it again becuase it had never ever turned out good. Well this morning, I decided I would give it another shot and I feel so ACOMPLISHED. I done it, they were so yummy and a great surprise for Trent when he got in from work.

I also had him a glass of milk with ice in it waiting for him. He shall love me forever now for that good breakfast he got. Lol. I know I am crazy for taking a picture of it but I was rather proud of myself that it finally turned out good.

Trent got home from work this morning and Bullet's lion tail was still driving him crazy so he decided after he ate, he was going to fix it.

Trent straddeled him and surprisingly, Bullet just laid there and let Trent do it.


Here, you can tell how much better his tail looks now. He ain't a lion anymore.

Anywho, I reckon that all for now.

Bullet Pretty Boy Hair Cut, Lions Tail and More

WARNING, LOTS OF PICTURES!!!

We took Bullet today to a new place to get him a bath and nails trimmed. While we were at it, we decided we would have him trimmed to see if it would help him to maybe not itch as bad. (We have noticed about 3 small sores on him because of scratching uncontrollable due to allergies). They said that it is a possibility it would help with that but it will also help with his shedding so bad. It was definitely worth a try. I guess we will see how much it helps.

I loved this picture for some reason but you can tell his hair cut in this picture. Look closely at the tail, you can see it looks like a lions tail.

Here you can see his tail a little better. It is beyond us why they cut it this way and we hate it but can not help but to laugh at it. Trent is going nuts and wants us to cut it. I would not put it past him to cut it himself tomorrow night while he is off. I don't like it however, it does not bother me that bad.

Once we got him back, you can tell how much he scratches, he has a lot of little bare spots on his back, legs, ears and everywhere. He is going bald where he scratches so much not to mention the little sores I previously mentioned. I do love the cut on him though, it looks much better and anything to keep him from shedding so horrendously is a big help. Don't know why but I keep calling it his pretty boy hair cut. If it helps, we will continue to keep getting him cut every so often. Even if it does not help the allergies, we may still do it to help the shedding.

We went to Manchester and had a great weekend there. It went by really quick but it always does.

Me and my daddy right after we got to Manchester. I gotta say, I look just like my daddy.

Me and my Trentie once we got there.

Me, Trentie, my cousin Shannon, and our Nephew Colton. Colton is such a handful. He so cute and sweet.

My mom, Trent, me, Shannon, Kate, Toni, Amber and Colton. We were over at my Aunts house visiting my Granny Sims.

This baby girl is getting so big so quick. It is hard to believe I was keeping her when she was just a tiny baby. I can't believe she is 4 now.

Brynlee is such a handful and so cute. I say all the time I feel like she doesn't know me because I have not been around much of her life since I live 2 hours away.

Trent had to scrape windows before we could go anywhere on Sunday. Yes, he is sporting our new RedSox Sweatshirts.

We got home Sunday night with plenty of Beautiful snow left. These picture were actually taken on Monday afternoon and we still had this much. It is still sticking around today. Not much has melted. I love the snow.

Well as you can see busy but good weekend. This next weekend will probably be the same. Scott (Trent brother) is coming in tomorrow and will be staying until early Tuesday morning so we will be doing stuff with Trent family this weekend. Linda has a big family dinner planned on Saturday with the whole family including Aunts, Uncles, Cousins etc. so it should be nice. Anywho, I am sure I will post more after the weekend.
