i got a text from oldest son and from daughter while i was at work Saturday......one right after the other. i knew something was up.........took a quick look at my phone and daughters text said "call me when u can"........sons text said "bought engagement ring for Rhae."............................i burst in to tears............I'm such a dork. called oldest son. he told me he had the ring in his pocket when him and his girl went to the hamburger stand.........the cute little one with picnic tables.........it was sunny, warm and clear skies.......they were having lunch....... he put the ring on the table in front of the girl and said "wanna get married?" he said she began giggling and crying all at once.
i thought about my mom and how she'd be the first person i would have called.
so I'm at the desk at the nurses station crying and congratulating son......a few other nurses at the desk
yelling congrats to him..................daughter still texting me wanting to break the news....lol...
get home from work last night....................daughter comes to my bedroom to tell me about her day at work.........how shes going about her day at the library when a man comes out of the bathroom, holding a knife, blood shooting out of his arm because he severed an artery on purpose.
she applied a tourniquet with the only thing she could find......a piece of "caution" tape used to keep the people off the wet floors. the police officer on duty called 911 then talked to the man until the guy became unconscious.
daughter said just minutes earlier the guy was talking to other patrons saying how pretty it was outside today.
she felt sad for him..... lamented that you really don't know what a person is feeling. shook her up a bit.
being her mom, my thought was I'm glad he didn't hurt her or anyone else with his knife, and i hope he doesn't have hepatitis or HIV.......and gosh i wish she would have run from him.....and just allowed the cop to deal with the situation.
the suns already out. it's going to hit 70 today.
our favorite roadside hamburger stand opened this past Saturday.......the one where son proposed..........we (me and boyfriend) have plans to go there for lunch, to sit at the picnic table and get some rays.........I'm looking forward to it.

" the police officer on duty"
A police officer on duty at the library? Boy, must be a rough town.
I'm looking forward to a warm sun in Texas.
it's a very rough town.
i didn't really like texas.......the warm sun i do like!
Depends on where you are in Texas, it varies a lot there.
