As I stumble through life I've found that writing is a strength for me to work through, look back on, share, and enjoy. I hope that I can share life experiences with others and hopefully learn more along the way. And if you like art, check out my website.. www.paintexpressionart.com .

Life never stops.

I said bye to the kids today. I thought I would cry but I didn't which kinda surprised me. It was a happy ending in a lot of ways.

I have been so busy that I haven't had time to write which isn't like me. I like to have time to write.

Well Saturday night our neihbors house caught on fire. Our direct neighbors. We were watching Dexter (the perfect show for real life events to happen while watching) and we heard some funky noises. At first we thought it was the boys upstairs kicking the walls or falling out of bed so Brittany went up to check and a second later she yelled for us to call 911. So once we new it was a fire we rushed outside and woke up the house full of people. It's a 4-plex so there are 4 doors to knock. They all got out safely and within ten minutes the fire trucks were here. This was at 11:30 pm. It was probably one of the most upsetting things I've witnessed. But kind of beautiful--- not in a sick way. The fire was big and had already blew up 2 cars by the time the trucks got there and was in the house coming up through the roof. There were people everywhere and lots of tears. I shot a short video from our backyard but then had to leave the area. It started to get the electrical wires so we had to hose down the fence, grass and our house hoping it wouldn't catch. It took a while for the trucks to get the fire out, I wanna say it was probably 1 or after. All our friends showed up which was the best part of the night.
We got to bed around 4 and still all got up and went to church the next day.
I must say that I had absolutely no idea everything that comes along with a house burning down. Sunday we spent most of the day with the neighbors helping them and just being around for them.
sad but everyones ok!

I was soooo tired monday from the weekend it had felt like I didn't even have one. I actually can't remember what I did monday aside from sleeping in the sun.
Yesterday was such a long day. We took the school to a park for field day and it was hot. We ran around all day and I didn't leave work until 4. Then went straight to a friend's house to tattoo him, which I did until 9pm. I'm working on a sleeve for him and hoping to get as much as I can done before I leave. I'm tattooing him more tomorrow.
My one complaint about tattoos at this current moment would be= If you cannot handle it do not get one, especially in an area that needs higher pain tolerance. Now this is for people who know what it feels like. =)

My nephews are coming over soon for pizza, hot tub, and a movie. I LOVE spending time with them and am trying to spend as much time with them as I can before I leave.
My time here is running short and the shorter it gets the less time I have. It's kinda crazy how fast its going.

Well I gotta go draw up a tattoo now while I'm waiting...
