Well I can't leave my house because my husband forgot to leave me the car keys,froze feeding my dogs I keep the dog food in an old frig outside and the door was frozeliked to killed myself prying it open.Should be cleaning but this is more fun. Have dinner ready for later . I know boring, but wait, with me something always happens.What's up St. louis? My life isn't that bad my husband and I built our new home for about 15,000.00 yes thats right15,000.00 that included new appliances too. Maintenance free exterior. Well I did get stiches out of the deal.
 Ask me how? I have had fun doing it the trick is finding deals on material doing it yourself and knowing where to go. And I know where to go, my husband kept telling me. I told him too, but like all husbands he didn't hear me.The picture of the baby is my grandson Dakota, who was almost born in my car, see we live near Potosi and our daughter was staying with us and she went into labor late at niteshe came and got me up, and said something funny is going on, yeah well I was half asleep, had taken a tylenol pm before I went to bed was planning on sleeping all nite, yeah right when kids are around you never skeep all night I don't care how old they are,anyways I asked her if she was hurting she said no not really I asked when everything started, she said awhile ago uurrgg it was her first she didn't know what to expect anywayI tried to get her out of the bathroom where she had been for awhile she thought she needed to be in there I told her no get out she refused saying she really had to go and I kept telling her to stop pushing before she drowned the baby.My husband by now had gotten up and asked if this was it? I said yeah but your daughter dosn't want to leave the bathroom. I made her call her girlfriend who is a nurse she told her what was going on and her friend said get your butt to the hopsital. Then she was ready, after asking me what she should wear, oh geez I told her go in what your in it dosn't matterWell as I said my life does have twists she was going to St Anthonys in south St Louisto have the baby, a good 50 miles away, first baby plenty of time yeah right,we hit hwy 8 to Desloge then to 67 north well there was night time road work going on speed limit was down to 40 for several miles plus down to one lane. Then my daughter deceided it was getiing very painful she had my arm in the back seat and was twisting ityeah it was getting painful and we weren't out of the lower speed limit yet. Finally we got through got near festus called her boyfriend and said get moving we are heading to the hospital, we are in festus. We left our house about 3:30 am. I called her girlfriend the nurse and said my daughter wants her to meet us she worked at St Anthonys so she was on her way boyfriend on the way and my arm was breaking.We hit 270 to loop to tesson ferry and I thought my sweet little girl was gonna pull my arm out. Finally the hospital was in sight her girlfriend was waiting with wheelchair readyhelped me get my daughter in it and into the ER entrance we heading to the elevatornurses at the ER desk stopped and said they had to call upstairs and go with us WHATwe needed to get going! We made it to the hopital at 4:04 am we got up to Labor and Delivery and her favorite nurse from the docs office was on duty that night she told my daughter calm down you got time I told them no we don't. Well the boyfriend got there and guess what he almost passed out couldn't cut the cordso I got to. Baby was born at 4:44 am just made it to the hospital. I told my daughter if you do this again you better live at the hospital near the end. Well I don't know if she will she didn't get her epidural like she wanted and wasn't happy but the baby was ok weighed 7 lbs 4.8 ounces and is almost 10 months old now and likes to bite and climb grandpa calls him Monkey. Check out the picsLet me know what you think of my story
