Why is it when a person has there day completely figured out everything that could go wrong does.

Well today was not the best day I ever had but it was a good learning day especially for re. Sometimes a person goes day to day thinking they know how much is coming in and going out but then realize there was more than they originally thought.
Well to sum it all up it was like this
Your driving down the road and hit a few bumps. Then you figure out how to get around the bumps and you are steady going again when you have a flat so you get that fixed and continue on for sometime when you find your self low and fuel and the gas station is 50 miles away but you by the grace of god coast into the station and fill the tank and things are looking brighter and your feeling that your determination with a lot of luck and many many prayers have helped you to almost reach the end of your trip you can in the final home stretch when out of nowhere you crash right into a brick wall.
Well that's how my day was.

Hackett Car Show
on april 11th we entered our first car show of the year. it was in hackett arkansas to benefit the seniors of hackett high school and help fund there senior trip. the judging was done by the entries but they also had many speciality awards to be given as well.
this car show holds a special place in re's heart since that is where he graduated. he was the kid who didn't have much and his class of 17 helped him by donating money so he could be able to attend his senior trip if not for them he would not have been able to go. i to am from a small town with then only one red light (through the town has now grown since my years in school) we were all close in school because most of us had gone to school since kindergarten together. that is one thing that my kids don't have is small classes and to me they are missing out.
the weather was perfect car show weather and the setting for the show was as always beautiful. the city park of hackett is the perfect place for a car show. we invited a friend to join us and left rogers at 6:30 in the morning. we arrived and there were several cars already there so we unload my truck and cody's golf cart while bob found us the perfect spot. the entertainment was mr. cabbage head and the screaming raishes (great band) and the outlaws also gave us a good show. we talked with some of re's old classmates and walked around taking pictures and admiring the other classics that were there. we always enjoy meeting people at the shows we attend and since this was our 2nd year to attend this show we seen folks that we had met at last years hackett car show. re's brother and sister in law came my nieces (m&m) and one of there cousins.
when it was time for the awards to be handed out we all moved closer to the band stand under the shade trees.
bob won 1st in his class. he has a 2007 mustang. hes name for her is MISTY. she has mystic paint and is a true show stopper.
cody took his 2008 escalade golf cart and would had won an award had there been a special interest or most unique class.he had to enter the class with the new trucks. never the less he had a great time and his ride was loved my all. 
i got second place in my class for modified trucks 1900-1964.
and i also received the award for principals choice. this is the second year that i got this award which means alot cause then you know that you have gotten 2 awards in a row for this certain award. i have also won fire cheifs choice in cave springs two years running as well .

THE PEPPERMINT EXPRESS. she is a 1950 chevy 3100 5 window and has won multiple awards.
i use to just want to win but now i get more pleasure from meeting and talking to folks about her and just pretty much showing her. the speciality awards are the best win for me. she has won several best paint, best engines, best interior, best wheels, and the best of show award last year. that was one of my goals is to win a best of show just once and when i did that i had a feeling of accomplishment. ever since i just want to show win or lose car shows are my way of relaxing away from the office, and socializing with others. don't get me wrong though it's always nice to bring home an award for your ride.i got second place in my class for modified trucks 1900-1964.and i also received the award for principals choice. this is the second year that i got this award which means alot cause then you know that you have gotten 2 awards in a row for this certain award. i have also won fire cheifs choice in cave springs two years running as well . 
the truck that won first in my class was well deserving of that awards. beautiful truck which i have seen win numerous awards at other events as well. i love this truck and the owners are very nice folks.
so tomorrow i am going to enter the gateway show and will post more about that after the show.

first in trouble letter...
ok people first please take a look at my baby boy. so sweet, always smiling, very bright, good at sports, loves his sister and family, helps his mom when she needs it, helps his dad work in the hot rod shop, does his chores most of the time, is a rule follower and very respectful to others at school.....................and all around good boy.........i'm so proud.........
until yesterday and then my sweet baby boy went from the above to an aliens child. not my child cause oh my child he is good to others not rude, not disrespectful. i'm just totally confused and not sure what to do about this little situation now let me explain.
i am a pushover with my kids yes i can be hard on them but it kills me to do so. i start screaming at them and they think it's funny and the first little crack of a smile and their i go busting out laughing. i hate to see them cry, but i know that's how they learn is by rules and trust me i have plenty of rules and have never had a issue with in trouble letter stuff. however even through i am a sucker for my kids all 3 of them they don't treat me bad or disrespect me cause they know i'll not tolerate that cause i can get angry and put the fear of life into them. i have a system for this it's called
"OK THEN I'M TELLING DAD!"
so then i tell dad he does the getting on to and then i usually end up crying in the bedroom or feeling guilty about tattle telling on them, but i have good kids for the most part. maybe this is from being raised by my grandparents spoiled rotten and hardly ever getting in trouble for anything. oh well back to the subject of how i came to learn about this letter.
so yesterday re and i pick up cre from school together because i had an appointment after school we are sitting in line had a good day and here comes Mr. Smiley (im referring to the sweet baby boy above) now he did not look as if he had gotten in trouble nor did he breathe a word about it (probably cause that re was with me) this was 3ish. we went to appointment headed back home and stopped and got a quick bite to eat quiznos as a matter of fact. sammies are the bomb! still nothing happy as a lark the usually chatty cre that he is. we go to shop to get re's tools so he and cre can finish his school reach project before the next weeks deadline. cre rides home with me cause re's truck is full of tools. we are cruzin home listening to the tunes home was about 10 minutes away the perfect time to let the bomb out but not a word. as it is getting to be about 7ish re and cre go out to the hot rod shop and i go down to my scrapbooking room to organize it but instead i started creating great pages, and then around 8ish i hear the door close and down the stairs i hear him come and then i see my sweet little baby boy tears in his eyes and a letter in hand and said with a sad voice i got in trouble (my first thought was that his dad Mr. Re had gotten tire and i little grumpy about this project ) and so i said did dad get on to you for something. and he said no.....i said why did you get in trouble he said for being disrespectful at school and handed me the first ever school in trouble letter. which i want to give props to mr. tuttle for making him write his own, please read below......
so then i went from ah poor baby to what the heck i raised you better than that and blah, blah, blah, i said cre did you tell dad he said no so i said i have to tell dad cause i'm not gonna have a kid like this and don't ask to go to the movies for a long time. like ever! so he goes back out to help re and i scanned the letter and started a scrapbook page with it cause i knew he wasn't gonna tell dad that i would have to so i want to make a presentation and break the news in a creative way, also so i could then turn around and stick it in his school scrapbook that one day we'll all laugh about but not through these pre teen and teenager years im sure. so around 930ish i hear a door and then things rattling in the kitchen and knew they were done for the evening and after re made a bowl of cereal here he comes down to see what im doing and so i called cre down and re said hey what are you working on and i then looked at cre and cre quickly put his head down, and re said what is it slowly and cre still not a whisper even about the letter and so dad reads the page and the vein that dads get when their blood pressure going sky high well re got the veins and then cre told him and after a 10 minute you will not speech from dad cre headed to bed.
ok aliens you can bring bad my sweet baby boy and return this one to his owner.

Question
ok so about 2 months ago ash got a bruise on her leg. then three weeks later it turned red and got to be a knot. she was hobbling around and almost in tears so i took her to the doctor who in turn sent her to orthopedic dr who sent her to have a mri done and said will have results back 2 days. i told her to mri and again they said your doctor will call you in two or three days to give you results. ok waiting worrying waiting....................2 weeks go by and not one word do i called and so goes the conversation....
me- "mmmm yes excused 2 weeks ago the doctor sent ash to have a mri and said would call in 2 days to give results and it has been 2 weeks, so i need to know those results please. "
nurse-"please hold..........................................................................................................................he doesnt give results over phone"
me-"oh may be you might want to tell him that cause he's the one who told me."
nurse-"oh well i have to make you an appointment(which really meant i need to bring you back in so i can get some more of that insurance money) how about next week.
me-"is that the soonest appointment to get results"
nurse-"yes he is a busy man"
me-"ok if her leg is falling off could he see her sooner i mean come on now it's already been a week and a half longer that it was suppose to me"
nurse :[-"do next weeks good then"
me-"no but it looks like that's when it's going to be so when"
nurse-"whats a good date and time"
me:)-"ok how about today and now"
nurse:[-"next week ma'am"
me-"well the sooner the better wouldn't you like"
nurse-"ok tuesday at 3:40"
me-"fine"
as i waited a whole another week so today has finally arrived and so goes the conversation..
doctor-"hi, well it's good new"
me and ash-"good"
doctor-"well i don't know what it is but whatever it is it's not anything bad."
me :{-with a weird look on my face clueless i guess
doctor-"the mri didn't tell me anything, no broken bones, no growth, so whatever it is it's not bad"
long silence...........
doctor-"does that make you feel better ash"
ash-"i guess huh huh"
doctor_"well maybe it is inflamed tissue i'm not sure though if it starts giving you any more trouble just come on back."
doctor-"oh yeah or you can take aleve"
me-still clueless wondering if he's not clueless too.
doctor-"ok see you later have a good day and oh yeah here's your paper so you can check out at the front. (which really meant don't forget to pay for my useless info"
so to my question....
IF YOU GO TO THE DOCTOR AND THE DOCTOR DOESN'T KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH YOU SHOULD YOU STILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY? just wondering if anybody had a opinion on this......
im sorry i haven't been blogging everyday like before but i have become addicted to face book. anybody else facebook? i also got to scrapbook sunday and enjoyed it so much will post pictures in another post.
