I hope you all had a great weekend. Yesterday when we took Michael to get his car, there was a little turtle in the parking lot. Michael pointed it out to me as he was driving away, so of course I had to bring it home. The girls are in love with it and have named it tutu froggy. Hailee came up with tutu and Lainey with Froggy. She gets frogs and turtles confused alot. Anyway my intention was to bring it home and let it go, but the girls were having no part of that. they made it a little home with grass, and we have been feeding it dog food which it seems to like. They take it out and let it walk in the yard ALOT, but they are careful that they don't loose site of it so they can bring it bag inside. I hate to keep this poor turtle in the house, but the girls are enjoying it so much. At some point we will have to let it go and I know they will be heartbroken. This is the second turtle I have saved, the first was in the rain on the side of busy street a couple of months ago, and after I let it go they looked for it everyday. It is so cute. i will take a picture of tutu tomorrow so you can see him. Again today for the 3rd week in a row someone woke up sick. Today it was Lainey again, she came in and in this poor little voice she said Mommy I cant talk. I felt bad for her, so again we did not go to church to share our germs. I spent the day unpacking the last of the boxes, it was just pictures, but I got everyones room done but the girls, so I need to hang their stuff and we will be done. I really like my new house and would love to just stay here for the rest of my life. We don't have a great yard, but we like the house and the yard is good enough. So I am praying that Michael's job stuff works out here or he finds a new job here and we can just stay here for good. We like the area and I am starting to really find a new life here. SO please pray that it works out for us here.
This past week has been a hard one for those of our former home, three officers were shot and killed last Saturday. My mom knew all three of them, and she has had to deal with this. Let me tell you a little about what happened. The OPD received a domestic disturbance call, and responded. When they got there the wife was out front ready to leave and told them her husband was drunk and they had her permission to enter the house through the back. As the officers rounded the back the guy opened fire with a shotgun. Two of the officers were killed immediately. Shot in the head. The guy then went inside until 2 hours later when he surrendered. My understanding is he was a real SOB. One of the officers managed to shoot him, so he was taken to the ER where he was an ass to the nurses and Dr.s working on him. The third officer was airlifted to Lubbock and was on life support before passing on Thursday. The community had rallied in support for these officers and their family, heck the state has rallied behind them Lubbock was paying for the officers to come to visit their fellow officer while he was in the hospital, including food and lodging for them . The Lubbock officers also came to Odessa to work the PD the day of the funerals so the entire PD could be there. Isn't that great? Too bad it takes something so tragic to bring a community together. The funeral for the third officer is on Tuesday. Please pray for all these families as they struggle to make sense of what has happened, and move on without their loved ones. Anyway that is it for tonight. Please remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come....................
