UT Bound

Sunday Noah and I went with Darlene and Mom to take Jay back for her spring semester at UT Austin (Go Longhorns!) Before I forget I had to share this verse that Darlene said Jay sent to her when we were dealing with the loss of Ernie and Mom moving in with her: Anyone in the world can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength. I guess i have to say that Jay and TJ are like my kids, because I really never thought I would have my own, I love them so much... I was touched by the insite this little girl has...to me she will always be a baby, it scares me when I think of her at college because she still seems like a kid to me, but I am SO proud of her, because she is doing exactly what she said she was going to... My sister lives stressed...but to see all that she has done for her kids, is a true accomplishment... and now to take on my Mom, absolutely amazing...
So, I think people need to know that my family can find humor in the sickest situations...that's how we roll... :) First, me and Darlene driving the truck to Austin in the first place is an adventure, needless to say...my stomach was hurting...we're on 35 in traffic she almost causes a chain reaction accident because she didn't see traffic stop, had to swerve onto the shoulder to avoid hitting the car, all of us jerked forward...and I am positive my mom squirted in her pants... I actually remained calm and told her what the ???? she said, it was my fault... I WAS TRYING TO READ THE CHIC FIL A BILLBOARD... yes, my sister almost killed us to read what the damn cow was saying to talk her into eating chicken...like you seriously need to talk her into eating period... then we had to take Jay to sign her lease before we went to the dorm, so on the access headed towards the road to her dorm and my sister has to give money to every homeless person and each stop light, holding up traffic and violating every CSI rule I have... I really think they were radioing ahead to the next light because I swear the were running up to the truck when we got there... but we made it and Jay is safe and sound back at school...
