We talked, talked and talked

Last night I announced to Vica that she was to be an Aunt again in March of next year. She questioned and I answered Michael's GF, Perla. She mentions how she likes that name. =) We headed to soccer practice and waited for coach, of course after some rain and no phone we didn't realize there was to be no practice. However, while we had waited for some odd 30 mins, we had a mother/daughter conversation about boyfriends, relationships, and sex. Yes I said SEX.

I asked her if she had a BF yet and she looked at me like I was crazy. =) I asked her if she could do me a favor and she said of course. So our conversation went somewhat like this:

Me: if you should ever have an interest in a boy who you like and he likes you, would you please come to me and tell me and not hide it? Like if you decide you two want to be BF/GF

V: yes (looked me in the eyes too)

Me: If you were to become serious with someone to the point of possible sex, would you please tell me, so I can take you to a doctor for some protection?

V: Well, you dont' have to worry about that, I'm waiting til I'm married, I already made that promise.

Me: (smiling) well you know Vica, things happen and things change so I'm just saying that IF it were to happen would you?

V: Yes (eyes)

Me: You know alot of moms dont' have this type of conversation with their daughters, but I want us to be able to communicate and not have secrets, if you were to come home one day and tell me you're preg, well, you would prob wonder if I would get upset but it depends.

V: depends on what?

Me: If whether I knew you had a boyfriend and I knew yall were serious or if you hid it from me. If you had hid it from me then yes I would be somewhat upset ok maybe even mad but if I knew you had a BF and were having sex then no it wouldn't come as a shock, things happen, however just remember that if that were to happen then of course your responsibilities would change dramatically.

V: I know

Me: I love you

V: I love you too

ONE WEEK..........

VACATION!!!!! OMG it's been prob about 12 years since my last FULL week vacation. I just don't know what to do. Well, seeing as my grandbaby hasn't come into this world yet I won't be making the trip to Georgia just yet. So I have decided to take my week long vacation by visiting some friends and maybe even taking some to lunch. I may even get a chance to go to the casino and stay a day or two. =) I know that I'll get some sleep done too while on this week long vacation. Of course I also know this next week will fly by so fast that I'll end up falling asleep Sunday 9/14 night and waking up to Monday morning 09/22 LOL.

Still not a grandma

No news and no grandson yet. Gabe said she may have to be induced however it wouldn't be til about the 17th of the month. So next week I have vacation and will be home doing nothing and hopefully I can go see my grandson in Oct or Nov.

Other News - have you ever felt like you can't trust anyone? Someone may tell you one thing and then another person may tell you another thing on the same topic and you're confused. Well try having 4 - 5 people telling all the same thing but in different versions then you would really be confused. This confusion could cost me to let go of what I thought was one of the best guys I have ever met. We laugh and joke together we can act stupid in front of each other and get each other. But what do you do when he may be the reason this news is going around and he doesn't deny it BUT says he didn't begin the whole thing. Trust is so important to me that it took 18 years and several dates with several men, yes I said several, to find one that I could trust with information I give him of my own life that no one else knows unless I want them to know. But now this. So much for thinking I could love again much less fall in love again. Well, I made it for a few months with him. Back to the old drawing board with another lesson under my belt. =)

Serial Drunk Driver - Let Loose

DALLAS -- A suspected drunk driver with four previous DWI arrests and a history of police pursuits was fleeing authorities when he caused a fiery crash early Monday, killing a married couple and seriously injuring at least three others, officials said.

Uriel Perez Palacios A Dallas County Sheriff’s Department deputy pulled over a Chevy Tahoe driven by Uriel Perez Palacios, 21, about 2 a.m. after seeing the vehicle weaving on North Central Expressway. The deputy suspected Mr. Palacios may have been drunk, said Kimberlee Leach, a sheriff’s department spokeswoman.

As the deputy approached the vehicle, Mr. Palacios drove away with his lights off and immediately exited at Mockingbird Lane, Ms. Leach said. He ran a red light at the intersection and struck another Tahoe, sending Mr. Palacios’ vehicle into the air.

The Tahoe landed on a third vehicle, a Scion SUV, killing Erika Clouet, 24, and German Clouet, 23.

“Many deputies said it was one of the worst accidents that they ever saw,” Ms. Leach said. “You couldn’t make out what kinds of vehicles were involved.”

Mr. Palacios was thrown from his vehicle, Ms. Leach said. His passenger, Didiana Espinoza, 23, had to be cut from the wreckage. Both were taken to Baylor Hospital in Dallas in critical condition.

Authorities arrested Mr. Palacios earlier this year for driving while intoxicated, his fourth, Ms. Leach said. He already was facing DWI charges from that incident and another in 2007, and had been involved in two police chases prior to Monday’s crash.

Ms. Leach added that, based on his most recent arrest, Mr. Palacios may have been driving on a suspended license.

Officials plan to charge Mr. Palacios with intoxication manslaughter if he survives. Deputies are still investigating his whereabouts before the accident.

Five Southern Methodist University students were in the other Tahoe, two of whom were seriously injured. The driver was in surgery today at Baylor Hospital for a broken left arm, which had also been burned. A passenger was undergoing tests at Baylor.

A tenant at the Hotel Palomar, David Wong, 33, of Tulsa, Okla, said he was awoken by a loud boom outside. He said he opened his window to see a car on its side and another on fire.

“One guy was on the ground screaming,” he said.

The intersection was shut down for four hours as deputies investigated the accident. Lanes on Central Expressway also shut down as deputies cleaned up gasoline that spilled onto the freeway. Officials re-opened the roads a few hours later.

***Me and a friend of mine, Hortensia stopped to look at the scene of this accident and witness the victims being pulled out. Yes we also witnessed Mr. Clouet being pulled from his vehicle, lifeless. It took workers 20 minutes to pull him out with the jaws of life. There is much blame to pass around and I would begin with the system that let Mr. Palacios loose.
