KG's Hideaway

There are so many girls at Ryan's school who are pregnant!! Seriously, there's like 20 of them. It just so happens that Ryan's best friend is one of them. They just had a little boy and Ryan has been appointed "God Mother."

Siranda is a sweet girl who just got in over her head. I love her and her parents and have offered to do what I can to help her make sure sure gets through school ok. I guess I'll be baby sitting for at least 3 days a week.

Anyway, she had the baby on Friday but with all the tournament hooha today wasn't the first time we could get out to get house. We just stayed about 15 minutes so that she could rest but that was enough to snap a few cute ones!

That baby was wide awake the whole time we were there and didn't make a peep, even when Ryan held him (as above)

Today ended up being quite fun, though I wasn't expecting it!

We started out at the vet at 8:30 this morning but ended up having to wait almost 45 minutes due to an emergency euthanasia. Finally, Dr. Hendon came in and the dogs were so excited to see him! This was Jade's first check since her ACL surgery last month and he declared her "remarkably healed!' However, there was this mole/nipple looking thing on her abdomen that cropped up the visit before her surgery and they were supposed to take it off when the did her leg, but it somehow got overlooked. In the month since her surgery it's grown alot. More on that in a sec.

Woody's back has really been bothering him and the rimadyl wasn't helping so they put him on tramadol (same as human ultram). I really don't like the ultram so they're trying a combination of the two, hoping to get him more pain control. Hopefully, as spring nears his pain level will decrease. They still say it's the narrowing of the spine near his tail, but the xrays were done in 2005 and he said the vet that did them (in the same office) also noted something about his neck... but I can assure you I was never told anything about that. So, in the next couple of weeks I'm going to take Woody in and they'll knock him out to do the xrays and clean his teeth while he's out. At the same time (but free of charge) they're going to knock Jade out and take that thing off her abdomen.

Then, I came home and crashed. I spent all night having strange nightmares. Craig said I was talking and moving around all night. Not exactly atypical for me, but it was really scary nightmares and I was exhausted.

After the nap, we headed to Waco for the final game in the tournament. Ryan's team played The Woodlands and royally kicked their ass. Finishing 3rd in this tournament means we've captured first, second AND third in our three tournaments this year.

Ryan played pretty good. Not her best, but its about what we expected after hearing about her visitor this morning. That's never good on game day... or ever, really. I'm just sayin.

After the game we stopped at Jos. A Bank to get Craig some dress clothes. He wasn't happy that they were so expensive but he liked the clothes. Then it was off to Nike so I could get (yet another) pair of white Nikes (11pairs now) and Eddie Bauer for a couple of things. That's all!

but this time it's a "good news-bad news" kinda thing.

Good news. Ryan had a fantastic game today, scoring 18 with a triple, double. Yay.

Bad news. We lost. By 4. But in yet another twist to this good news-bad news thing, we lost to a 5A team who is ranked 8th in the state. Not so bad when you look at it on the face.

We play tomorrow at 5. Either of the two teams we could play SHOULD beat us. They're all 5A and state ranked. Maybe we'll have a good game.

Let's just hope that I can tell them in some manner that will make some sense.

So this weekend the girls are playing in the MT Rice basketball tournament in Waco. It's a little over an hour from our house so its not a bad drive but the 6 hour gap between games did suck. The bright spot on the day is that Midway High School (where we're playing) is really nice, but I'm a little bummed that there aren't more photographers there this year taking pictures of the kids (you can usually order some of your kid)

First off, I have a fucking awesome camera but I'm basically an idiot with it right now. However, the upside to that is that I end up with some strange pictures that actually interest me. I don't think I've ever seen a picture this blurry though, where you can still see what their faces are doing... if that makes any sense.

Moving on to story #2. I could have beat my daughter with a broomstick tonight!!! She had two horrible offensive games. I mean, seriously bad. Just no energy, but in the second game her and the other leading scorer on the team ended up with 3 fouls each before halftime. The team we played was NOT better than us, but they did seem to get into position well enough that the calls kept going their way. The officials were beyond ridiculous. All varsity games use 3 officials and these three could NOT work together. THeir whistles would blow and one would call an offensive foul while the other would call defensive. Anyway, the girl in this picture was playing.... strangely. I won't come right out and say she played dirty, but as you can see in this picture she plants her knee into your back or would slice the girls legs out from under them.

It's legal, but only by a hair. Some refs watch for that shit and call it all game every game. These didn't. Anyway, she kept undercutting Ryan on rebounds and midway through the 4th quarter she and Ryan were both going for the ball and Ryan clobbered her. Knocked her ass to the gound. She got her 4th foul, but the coach wasn't going to take her out because we'd come from being down 10pts to leading the game by 3. Luckily, it wasn't a shooting foul so they just got to inbound it and ended up losing the ball to us on a blocked shot (by Ryan).

Anyway, Ryan and this other girl both went up for a rebound and when they came down Ryan, in an effore to avoid losing the "tie" ball, swung the ball around pretty aggressively and this girl literally was thrown back about 5 feet. To me, it looked pretty dirty on Ryan's part and I was PISSED. I was upset with her because it was her 5th foul and she was done even though there was still two minutes in the game AND I was more pissed because she lost her cool and it made her look bad. To make matters worse, after we WON the game (I am still shocked over that!) the girls were shaking hands with the other team and the girl that Ryan fouled came at her HARD, planting her elbows in Ryan's chest and screaming, "Bitch!" Thank God, Ryan just looked at her, laughed, and kept walking.

If Ryan had reacted any other way I would have gone out on the court and drug her off by her ear. I shit you not.

On top of all this, I came home and its apparent that Woody is in pain. I've got to get to the vet tomorrow to get him his doggie crack. Poor baby. His back is so bad.
Let's hope tomorrow is a better day... all the way around.

We probably should have just been hanging out today since Ryan has a tournament tomorrow, Friday and Saturday. In Waco, yuck. (M.T. Rice tourney) But we spent the day shopping instead.

Normally, I don't step foot in a mall or shopping venue ANY time between Christmas and sometime around the first of the year but I was bored out of my mind today. Good thing I was because Craig was in a spending mood! Yay!

Ryan decided to go with us, but Kyra "didn't feel like it." So it was just the three of us and we had a great time. I bought an amazing ivory leather purse, some new sunglasses, a book bag for school, a movie and a gift for a family friend who's about to have a baby. Ryan got a few things then we headed over to PF Chang's for lunch. Yuuuum

Craig is sick as a dog, so I was pretty surprised he felt like getting out. He's installing his satellite radio right now. Personally, I'd have rather paid someone to do it but, whatever.

I meantioned before that Craig and I agreed to skip buying eachother gifts. It didn't work out so well for us. I ended up buying him a satellite radio that can be moved from his car to his office and he bought me a pair of diamond and sapphire earrings. It's like the 4th pair he's bought me... I don't know what his hang up is with earrings, but I'm not complaining!! HA!

Just a quick list of some of the things the kids got...
Austin got a new car stereo syste, tires, tinted windows, games... crap like that.
Ryan got a digital camera, printer, Disney stuff, clothes
Kyra got an ipod, itunes card, makeup, perfume, clothes... I don't remember what all they got but they were happy, and that's all I care about.

Tonight, we made the loooooooooooong trek (4 blocks) to my parents' house where my brother, nephew, sister and niece joined us. It was a smaller gathering than we've had in previous years but if you ask me it was just right.

My parents like to do their thing on Christmas Eve because they are firm believers that we should all be home with our kids on Christmas morning. I support that!!

Here are a few pictures from tonight. Hopefully, there'll be some good ones in the morning to post.
Left to right and front to back-Austin, Kyra, Mom, Dad and Ryan
Then, my brother is laying across the back of the couch,
Third row-my niece Rusti, my sister Rusti, my nephew Philip, me, then Craig

This is my sister and my brother with me.

This isn't the gretest quality from when I scanned it in but I think this is hysterical! Ryan and Kyra weren't exactly happy to be roped into sitting with Santa and I think its clear that the baby wasn't happy AT ALL! I love it! When Austin and Ryan were little they didn't mind Santa, but... well, I guess this must be from her dad's genes.

There is an article (and picture of Ryan) in yesterday's Ft. Worth St@r Telegram about the Crowley girls and Joshu@ girls basketball teams. Yesterday was a big day for both teams because they were both undefeated and were set to play last night. We won by 20pts!!!!
Here is the article (its pretty small) and this is the picture.

Ryan had an outstanding defensive game but was held to only 9pts. They had her double teamed the whole game but that left Megan open to score 26pts!!! All in all, I'm happy.

In other news, Kyra has been sick with a pretty bad cold. She's been sick for almost a week and now Ryan appears to be coming down with it. I just don't want to get it- because it takes me forever to get over that crap.

I've had my niece here since early Thursday morning. My sister could take her to go see Santa at the mall so I stupidly decided to take her, then roped Ryan and Kyra into joining us. I'll have to scan the picture into the computer but it is seriously funny. Ryan, pale as all get out, is staring off into space while Kyra looks nearly as miserable. But the baby is stiff as a board and screaming her head off. OMG I laugh every time I look at it!!

That's all.

I've a bit of a conundrum. Craig and I have this "deal" wherein we are agreeing to not buy eachother gifts. I guess the premise is that we just buy what we want when we want it, or something like that. BUT... everytime (almost) that he proposes this HE ends up sneaking a bit of jewelry under the tree for me. Now, I don't THINK he's doing that this year but what if he does? I need to have SOMETHING to give him, don't I? Ugh, its a no win situation.

I have to mail two packages tomorrow and I'm done. I've been done with shopping for a while but I forgot to ship these two, so that's on the list.

Craig got something unexpected today. ANOTHER raise!!!! I mean, don't get me wrong. You can NEVER get too many raises but he got a massive raise two months ago so we just didn't expect an end of the year raise. Plus, he got a big bonus last week. YAY!!!

I bought family tickets today to go see A Tuna Christmas on January 6th. If you haven't seen if before do it as soon as you can. It's fantastic!! Craig and I have seen all three Tunas (Greater Tuna, A Tuna Christmas and Red White and Tuna) but this is the first time we've taken the kids. Austin and Ryan have seen tapes of it that we bought when we saw it so they know what to expect. Kyra doesn't have a clue. It is serious fun and I look forward to a night out with the family. (Let's not forget Van Halen on Jan 26th!!! Woooooooooooot!)

Tonight the girls played Alvarado. We won by more than 50pts... but Ryan scored 25pts, so that part of it was fun to watch. Other than that, not so much. I hate games like that because I don't think any team deserves to be blown out when they've all worked so hard! So while I love to win, its no fun unless its a good game. Coach Neff put the bench in for alot of the game. In fact, more than half the game had the 2nd string in. It was pretty sad.

This is the opening tip-off. The other girl didn't even get close to the ball.

This girl tried to step up on Ryan and shoot while in the lane. As you can see she never had a chance.

Ryan joked with Coach Neff all day that she was going to step up and shoot a 3 pointer. She's only shot one or two of them the entire time she's played basketball so he just rolled his eyes and laughed. It was late in the 2nd quarter and she was standing in the corner near the baseline and she started to pass... I could see her getting ready to dump the ball. So I shouted, "SHOOT IT!" She already had the ball up high for an overhead pass and she just turned, keeping the ball high (which indicated that she'd probably come up short) and the ball went straight through the hoop. Nothin' but net!! I was soooooooooo excited!!! Of course I didn't get a picture of that!!

I was going through some of my scrapbooking stuff trying to organize the next pictures to put in the book and I ran across this one of Woody on the first day we got him. He was born the day before Craig and I got married and I got him when he was five weeks old. He was soooooooooooooo cute, wasn't he!?!?!? OMG when I called the number in the paper to ask about her dogs she told me that she had a black lab, two yellow labs, one chocolate lab and one wild card. I asked her what she meant by that and she told me that the father of these puppies was 1/4 German Shephard and this one puppy ended up with what looked like Rottweiler markings, but he wasn't. I was pretty confuse but when I got to her house all these puppies came running out her front door and down the steps. One of the puppies tumbled all the way down them and finally righted himself when he got to my shoes. I knew right then and there that this was my dog.

This is the puppy that slept on my pillow every night, right next to my ear all night long. He only had one accident in the house in his whole life. He's just an amazing addition to our family and on my dark days he just brings me so much joy. I had an idea that he'd be a big dog, and that's what I wanted. I had no idea that he'd be an 85lb lap dog, though. He doesn't know he's not human... so shhhhhhhhh, don't tell him!

Jade loves Woody and takes such good care of him. They are perfect... that's all I can say.

So this weekend was more than a little strange. On Friday I went to get my hair done. I always have Courtney add blonde highlights and then run some lowlights through it, and then run that same color all over the underside. Well, the blonde highlights and the underside with color all came in fine, but for some reason the lowlights didn't take at all, so my hair is VERY blonde on top. I didn't have time to let her fix it that day and we were going to do it the next day while she did my sister's hair (more on this in a sec) and Ryan's. Ended up not having time at all. I've got an appointment to do it on Thursday.

Friday night was a big district game we had to get past and to be honest, I wasn't sure we would. Aledo's team kept Ryan triple teamed and held her to only 6pts, but Megan stepped up with 15pts and Jenny scored 8. In years past, we just didn't have anyone that stepped up on a consistant basis when Ryan was contained. This year, they're all doing it and I think that is what will really help us out. To top that off, we have a really strong bench this year. We've always had to keep our starting 5 in almost the whole game when we were in REALLY tough games but our bench is performing strong! I'm really excited!!!

I kept my niece this weekend and had such a fun time with her. She's almost always giggling and running behind things to play peekaboo.

She ended up sleeping between me and Craig Saturday night so I didn't get a lick of sleep because she was moving all over the place. After my sister came and got her yesterday morning I took my medicine and slept until 4:30. Craig kept everything nice and quiet in the house but I'm not sure I would have heard anything anyway!

So back to my sister. I got tired of my sister coloring her hair this orange/red color so I told her that for her birthday/Christmas gift from us was getting her hair done. She wears her hair very long and most often pulled back in a clip like something out of the early 90's. Courtney did her hair and my sister just kept scowling, making shitty comments about me... you name it, she did it. Then, when Courtney asked her if she liked her hair (It looked freakin' awesome!) she just said, "It's different." No smile, no nothing.

Then she picked a fight with my mother. Stupid stuff. Its ridiculous. She's almost 40 and still looking for fights. Now, she's not coming to my parents' house for Christmas in some idiotic attempt to punish everyone. Nice.

Finally, I can post this picture of Ryan. The file was MASSIVE and my other computer was so bogged down that it couldn't handle the size. In fact, it would shut down my computer every single time I tried to do anything. Dony made the file big enough that we could print a 16x20 and still have amazing quality. I've had it in my flickr but never here.

I took my final just a little bit ago and I missed two. Not so bad, I guess. Now I have to sign up for the 2nd semester but I really don't want to! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I guess I should since next semester is the last time they're using that book (it cost $130 bucks). Maybe I'll take two classes... I don't know. Maybe I'll wait and see what this semester grade turns out to be first.

Ryan is on the far right in the white uniform waiting for the pass. (not the girl with the ball)

Ryan had a fabulous game to get district play started. I didn't watch as intently as I normally do because the assistant head coach of UNT showed up to watch Ryan and he brought his 6 month old baby. Since he was in my lap I didn't yell except once when Ryan made an outstanding offensive move to get to the boards. This is the box score from the paper.

Stephenville 36, Crowley 51 (Tuesday, Dec 11, 2007)
Final 1 2 3 4 OT T
Stephenville (0-0, 0-1) 9 11 6 10 - 36
Crowley (14-2, 1-0) 12 9 13 17 - 51

Scoring Summary
Stephenville
Bledsoe 6, Tuck 3, Young 6, Christian 4, McNeal 14, Huckabay 3.

Crowley
C. Stamp 3, Dell 7, A. Stamp 2, Graham 2, Green 19, Vaughn 5, Jennie Thomas 10, Jessica Thomas 3.

She was double and triple teamed much of the game (as you can see from the picture) but handled the pressure very well. Friday night is going to be THE game of the season. Aledo has alot of talent on their team, including Jeff Mittie's daughter (he's the womens basketball coach at TCU). She scored 22pts last night in their game. Aledo has three girls who are serious threats. AND one of them who hasn't comitted yet has scouts coming in from California to watch her so she's going to be very motivated.

The cold weather blew in yesterday in a pretty big way. I really love the cold weather, and I'd like it to stay this way for a while.

The asshole thats supposed to do the trees still hasn't come back. Craig talked to him on Saturday (when he showed up for about 30 minutes) and he told Craig that the guy he rents the stump grinder from is "... screwing him over." I don't know about that but what I do know is that Craig's country club recommended this guy because he does the tree work there, so he isn't going to hesitate telling them about this.

Last night was "Double Feature" night so we all (sans Austin) watched Hide & Seek and then I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. I didn't make it for the second one because I was just worn out from Saturday. I soaked in a scalding hot bath, put on my fluffiest fleece pjs and hit the sack at like 8pm. It was fantastic... until about 10:30 when I woke up because Craig was making alot of noise trying to get packed for his trip this morning. I can't complain really, because he NEVER does that.

So its back to boredom today. My house is clean, laundry done, Christmas shopping is done... and Wendy, I have looked for Catherine's denim jumper and can't find one! So, yeah... its going to be one of those days.

Yesterday morning Ryan and I left to grab presents for the secret Santa thing her basketball team does. After bringing that stuff home we ran to the grocery store to pick up a few items and when we got back about 3pm Craig said Kyra had gone up to the school to ride her scooter. Its really the only thing she does outside. When she wasn't back at 5pm I just had a bad feeling, so I jumped in my truck at 5:10 to drive around the block and look at the school. She wasn't there. I came in and told Craig who gave it another 20 minutes and went to look for her himself. When I didn't see him a couple minutes later I knew... this wasn't going to be just an accidental thing.

I hate saying this but Kyra has never earned the trust it takes to go further than the school. Yes, we've taken her to friends homes but she isn't like most kids who go and hang out in their neighborhood as a kid and get their circle slowly widened.

We knew she had talked to her ex-boyfriend, Travis, earlier in the day so we called his dad who told us that Travis had gone to the school to meet Kyra. Great, they were both missing. Sometime around 6:30 or 7 we went to the police department and filed the necessary paperwork. Several times throughout the night we'd pass them shining their lights in various places. They were definitely looking for them. By 9 or 10 I called Austin at work to come help look and he left early to go pick up friends and get them to help (10 of them came to help!!!) and even one of their parents came.

About 12:30 I called Craig on his cell and while talking to him he heard Austin yell, "Ive got 'em!" So I drove to this place by the highschool (all of 6 blocks from our house) that is basically a cow pasture with an abandoned house on it. Kyra and Travis were sitting in the dark (Kyra didn't even have a jacket) freezing their asses off. Craig and I had been there earlier in the day where we ran into Travis' parents there. I thought the dad looked through there when we were standing there but I guess he only went behind it.

SO anyway, Craig asks Kyra why she didn't say anything when we were there and she said she didn't know. We load the kids up into the cars and go to the police station where they really talked to the kids about not only the dangers of what they did but also the fact that they could have been taken to juvenile hall. After about 2 hours we came home. I started asking Kyra some questions and she blurted out that she DID know we were there. Lies, lies, lies.

So what finally came out was that she had broken the rules and went somewhere without telling us AND missed curfew so she got scared of getting in trouble and decided to make the most of it.

Craig was beside himself all night, almost sick. Ryan bawled her eyes out all night. Austin didn't know what to think. I'm just glad they're both ok, but now I'm pissed.

I should have known this would happen. Seriously, I guess I deserve it. The tree guy we hired a week before Thanksgiving started working on the trees the day before Thanksgiving just like he said he would. He told us it would take two days, just NOT like he said it would. He said he didn't even mind working on Thanksgiving because his family had it the Sunday before, so we said sure, go for it. Well, on Friday after Thanksgiving he was STILL working on it and didn't want to leave because he had a hunting trip planned with his dad (a 10 day trip) so Craig offered to pay him all but $400 of the money so that he could go and then just told him to finish up when he got back. He should have been back on Monday. He wasn't. So of course, I started bitching at Craig because the trees HAVE to be finished before they start the roof. SO on Tuesday Craig called him. He didn't call back... and I bitched. So Craig called again Wednesday. Same result. And Thursday? You guessed it. Same thing. So I bithced up a blue streak.

Well, last night I didn't sleep very well and after my test today I told Craig I was coming back home to take a nap. So after what I'm certain was a miserable attempt at the test, I was home and juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust drifting off. You know the feeling I'm talking about? Where you're aware that you're about to fall off the edge of the earth? Yeah, I was just getting off to sleep and what happens?

A god damn chainsaw. Bastard.

... so I was able to upload some pics.
Ryan is #30 on the far right.

This was taken on Thanksgiving when DeMarcus was here.

Here is Jade curled up with Woody on my bed. Isn't she pretty?

Ok, I've had just about enough of trying to figure out this new computer. I just don't have the patience with it. Ugh.

Today has been the single most boring day of my life, I think. I was supposed to go to school, but didn't. Supposed to go get my hair highlighted and cut and didn't. Supposed to get my nails done, didn't. Sensing a pattern? Yeah.

I finished a book yesterday that started out so promising and turned out to be one of the biggest DUDS I've ever read, and that's saying alot (I read appox 3 novels a week).

I'm thinking of going back to work. I know, I know... I've said that like 3 times in the last year, so don't hold your breath or anything. I'm just soooooooo bored, and after 7 years of staying home (meaning sleeping) is almost more than I can stand. I don't really want to commit to anything because you just KNOW as soon as I do my brain will be like, "What the FUCK were you thinking?" So, maybe I'll volunteer at the children's hospital or something. Blah... I don't know.

So now I have to figure out something to do. I'm done with Christmas shopping, my closet is full, my husband's wardrobe is rockin', and I can't think of anything I want. OMG What am I going to do? I know what you're thinking... "Go figure out the new computer", right? See, that's my problem right there. I'm just not motivated. Now you understand my husband's life.

... to play basketball, of course! The girls played their last pre-season game last night, beating Irving McAuthur 45-38. Ryan had 12 pts, 5assists, 5 steals and 3 blocked shots. Tuesday we start disctrict play and this is the best chance we've ever had to win it all.

Last year we ended up losing at the Regional level, basically one game away from the State Tournament. Our team is better this year than last (we actually have some good people on the bench to back up our starters for once!) so we're hoping they'll do at least as well as last year.

I'm glad this semester is almost over for me. The last two chapters of the book have driven me nuts, so I've got one test and the final left, then I'm done!!!

In other news, the insurance adjuster came out today and decided there is enough damage from hail to pay for a new roof!! Wooo hoooo! We were going to do it anyway, but its a big bonus to get that free- well, almost free. Our deductible is $1000- THEN it's free.

Ryan called me from school today to tell me that her basketball coach informed her that she's been nominated for McDonald's High School All American! I can't believe it!!! I am so excited for her... and for me! LOL

After the East and West teams are selected, they actually play a game. Last year it was in Kentucky, but I don't know if it changes every year or if its always in the same place.

Wooooooo hooooo

This has been a banner weekend in the Rush household! First off, the girls won the basketball tournament in a BIG way, slamming the other team my more than 30pts. Ryan made the All Tournament Team! YAY. I took a shitload of pictures, but to be honest the programs on this new computer are a little different so the formatting may take me a day or so to get down.

But the other big news is... I got Van Halen tickets for me, Craig and Austin! I am SOOOOOOOOO excited! I have seen them with David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar (obviously at different times) fronting, but Craig has NEVER been to a rock concert! Are you KIDDING me?

His mother thought rock music was evil so the only thing he's ever been to was some weak concert like the Bangles or something. I've also dragged him to Josh Groban and Ty Herndon. But other than Michael Jackson (I know!), Van Halen is, by FAR, the best concert I've been to. January 26... I can't wait!
