NOTE TO SELF - Read the label!!

I'm SO STUPID!!!




For the past 3 weeks I haven't felt - GREAT.  I started taking these all-natural products in August and have felt AMAZING until I slowly started to decline, it was crazy, I was having allergic reactions but it would be a HUGE hive here and there.  And, USUALLY with me - if I'm allergic to something, I get hit within a 2 hours span not a month.  I was freaking out because now I'm selling these products and when I take them I feel AMAZING and then I go to bed and cant sleep - wake up feel sick - nausea - dizzy- sweating.  So I stop taking everything... now I REALLY feel like SHIT!!! And I'm being a CRY BABY- I'm not a CRY BABY - I don't CRY.  I went and taught my Jazzercise class Tuesday night and thought I was going to pass OUT it was HORRIBLE.  Thank goodness Jodie was there and took over my class.  I could NOT figure it out. I call Dave..

Me " almost passed out on stage - I'm dripping sweat like crazy - something is wrong."
Dave "you need to go in, because I don't want to wait until something bad happens and I have to call 911"
Me "and what happens if you have to call 911??"
Dave "I make sure your hair is combed and you have a bra on."
Me "thank you"
Dave "it's not funny, make an appointment"
Me " I hate Dr.'s"
Dave "but you HATE hospitals more."
Me "yep"
Dave "make the appointment"

I go to my store because KIM SHAY (holla) is working and making the store pretty.

me "I feel like shit"
Kim "why is your face SO RED?"
me "I don't know I think something is wrong."
Kim "go to the Dr."
Me "grrrr"
Kim"you're scaring me - I'm gonna work fast so you can go home and sleep"

I watched Kim and tried to help but I couldn't :(  Get home eat and shower sit on my bed and go to take my pill that I have been taking now for a year to make MEGAN a happy girl that doesn't want to kill people and then cry over it - and I look at it and it says take 3 every 4 hours for pain.  I double take and realize that I have been taking 1 of these every night and I'm allergic to these.  So not only have I been off my HAPPY MEGAN PILLS but I have been putting poison into my body.....

ME  "DDDAAAAVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEE  COME HERE I KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH ME."
Dave walks in "what???"
me - I look down "I have been taking the wrong pills for the last 2 1/2 weeks."
Dave "WHAT??"
me- "my pills - must have fallin behind my night stand and instead of looking at the bottle I pulled these out because it had the same Dr's name on it and I thought I had gotten rid of all the other pills."
Dave "REALLY???? WHAT THE HELL????  ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF??"
me - "no - I wouldn't want to do a slow painful death"
Dave - "this would only happen to you."
me "no, I have a friend that took her dogs pills for a week on accident and she felt pretty good."
Dave - BLANK STARE
Me - "well now that we have solved the mystery of why I have been a cry baby and breaking out in hives and just all together feeling like shit - life will be better now."
Dave "good because we cant have 2 cry babies in this family - ONLY ME"
Me "I will leave you to the cry baby part of this relationship - I'm not a fan."

Finally 3 days later - I feel GREAT again....flushing that toxic shit out of my body and life is good....wish I wasn't so stupid!!!

The Dance Train!!

THE DANCE TRAIN!!!

It's a BIRTHDAY PARTY for Dena this time, and we head over to the bar to dance.  I'm a little tired and might have said a couple times to Dave "let's stay home and go to bed and watch the news" But he didn't listen and I get my dancing shoes on (converse) and off we go.  We get there around 9:00-ish and its pretty busy for THAT bar.  We are watching this table of probably 15-20 people that are D-R-U-N-K!!!  I mean DRUNK one girl has fallin twice since we have sat down - and not the ohhhh HAHAHAHA I fell it was the ...I TOOK OUT A CHAIR AND A COUPLE OF PEOPLE FALL.  We look over again because of the loud noise and another chair down and the same girl laying on her back and another girl laying on top of her. and I just flip my head and look at Jocelyn and we just start laughing our asses off.  Now I know how to have a good time and I know what it feels like the morning after but I don't think I have EVER been THAT DRUNK.  This girl is going to wake up in the morning and say "who kicked my ASS??"

The DJ gets there, and they obviously know him because drunk girl is all over him while he is trying to get his stuff put together- and he is trying so hard to be nice, but you could tell that it would go a lot faster if the 2 tables of drunks would just get the hell out of the way.  DJ is ready and on the mic he says "these 2 tables are here (and he is pointing) to celebrate a man's life that we all knew, and I'm going to sing (karaoke) his favorite song.  So now I'm thinking "OHHHHHH- I get it now"  DJ starts singing and they all get up and dance, not pretty, a lot of falling on the ground dancing.  and this lady comes to the table and right over me starts screaming at us to dance - not a normal scream - think of a HIGH-pitched whining teenager- then hold your nose and scream. 
"COME DANNNNNNNCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEE WITH US"
I turn in my chair so fast that I thought "OH MY GOD I'M GOING TO PUNCH WHOEVER THIS IS"
I don't know how I didn't - but I got it under control and the girl across from me is laughing so hard she can't even talk to me- but she sees that my eyes are popping out of my head.
the lady again "COME DANNNNNNCCCCCCCEEEEE - (insert the guys name that they were celebrating here) HE WOULD WANT YOU TOOOOOO DANNNNNNNCCCCCCCEEEEEEEE"
A couple of people from our table go and dance with these people and they are all over the place, Dave gets up and says "Do you want to dance?"
Me: "NOPE chair dancing right now I'm fine."
2 seconds later---- white shirt guy grabs my hands and pulls me up on the stage.  I just smile and give everyone in my group the "PLEASE FUCKING SAVE ME" eyes
they all laugh and keep dancing- so I smile at white shirt guy he says "YOU HAVE A GREAT SMILE"
me: "THANKS"
I look over at Dave and he is laughing too, and this guy is all over the place trying to get everyone on the floor to dance, so as he is grabbing a drunk from his table I run and dance with my friends and tell them how SHITTY that was to laugh.  Song is over we all sit down.
Couple of GREAT singers get up and sing and drunk table is all over dance and we are laughing because one of them is eating shit almost every song.  So a song comes on and the whole table gets up, again crazy lady says "COME AND DAAAANNNNNNNCCCCCCEEEEEE" I ignore her and then out of NO WHERE white shirt guy is back grabbing my hand- UGH- I get up to dance and he does the same thing goes to get another person and I run over to my group and he comes back I can tell he is looking for me but I don't make eye contact. 
One of the girls in our group says "LETS MAKE A TRAIN." so I think okay I can do the "DANCE TRAIN" so they all start and we all agree to do it - It's a girl I JUST met- Gina- Jocelyn and then Me.  I look at Dave like get behind me and he gives me the "I'm not doing the dance train" -LOOK
So I turn around and ALL OF A FUCKING SUDDEN - I feel someone all up on me- and I KNOW it's not Dave, because it's like crazy out of control hands everywhere grabbing - I look back and it's white shirt guy and as I'm deciding if I can play train with the crazy guy he does a PELVIC THRUST like NO ONES BUSINESS right into my butt.  I didn't even have to think about it- I let go of Jocelyn and went right over to Dave and hid.  Jocelyn came over "WAY TO STAY ON THE TRAIN- WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED"
I said "WHITE SHIRT GUY PUT THIS PENIS ON MY BUTT"
she started laughing - and I said "NO TRAIN FOR ME -THAT IS GROSS."
Jocelyn said your gonna have to blog about that one :)

Just to give you an idea of the Dance train - but not to THAT MUSIC- and NOT with THAT HAIR AND CLOTHES!!!

DJ is SMARTER than DAVE!!!

DJ is Smarter than DAVE!!!


Dave has started gardening, he loves it, he is out there all morning watering, picking and tending to his little garden.  He his on YouTube non-stop learning about gardening, and every time something shows up we all have to go out and look at it with him.  We have gotten a ton of tomatoes, jalapenos, basil, cilantro and pumpkins - it has actually been a GREAT little side thing for him.

Dave has decided now that he is going to start composting (little late in the season) the mice are eating his tomatoes so the ones they have eaten and anything that is produce has gone into this container, not sealed, not something a normal person would start a compost in, but whatever.
I say to Dave: " DJ is going to get into that."
Dave: "No he wont I'll put it up here." he picks the thing up and puts it in the planting box he has made which is maybe 3 feet off the ground.
Me: "he can still get into that, and now that you made it a challenge he WILL get into it"
Dave: looks at the cute little DJ says "don't get in that bastard"
Me: "okay, don't get mad - because he is NOT listening to you"
Dave: "it will be fine"
This is what I saw when I looked out the window this morning.........

I text Dave this picture - NO CALL BACK, so i call him.
Me: "Did you get my text?"
Dave: "no, why? what is it???
Me: "I want you to see it for yourself."
Dave: "well, I'm driving so it will be a minute - just tell me what it is."
Me: "NOPE!!"
Dave "Damn you woman."
I wait about 5 minutes....call again
Me: "have you seen it?"
Dave " NO, JUST TELL ME!!!"
Me: "what the hell are you doing??  I know you have stopped your car at least once."
Dave: "yes, but I didn't think to look."
Me: "WHAT THE HELL??"
Dave: "JUST TELL ME."
ME: "NO, look!!!!"
Dave: "FINE BYE."
he texts me back about 3 minutes later "IT WONT DOWNLOAD" the phone rings...
Dave:"just tell me, it wont download"
Me: "You know that bin outside that you are composting in? and I said DJ is gonna get into that? and you said NO?"
Dave: "He got into it?"
Me: "he was standing in your little garden and eating out of it."
Dave: "THAT FUCK NUT - STUPID DOG"
Me: "NOPE!! Stupid-DAVE Smart-DOG"
Dave: "I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU JUST SAID THAT"
Me: "well, that was P-R-E-T- T -Y STUPID"
Dave: "well now you have to go buy me a REAL composting bin - they are $200.00 because of your fuck nut dog"
Me: "NOPE - conversation is over I'm right - you were wrong and the dog is SMARTER THAN YOU!!! - love you BYE"

NO MORE SPANX FOR ME!!!

Getting ready last night, cant find the right thing to wear - are we going out after our Anniversary dinner (of 16 years) or are we coming home because we are old and need to get some damn sleep.  I get my outfit together, and of course I have my spanx on -
Dave - "why are you wearing those hideous things"
Me- "because I have to - it smooths everything out and helps me not look so damn fat."
Dave- "I don't think you should wear that"
Me -"too bad, you are not a woman and you have NO IDEA what you are talking about."
I finally pick what I'm wearing we are off to a wonderful dinner.

We decide that we would go have 1 beer with Jocelyn for her Birthday we were pretty tired and I had told her that she had to learn the "WOBBLE" so we could dance at the bar.  We get there and it's so GREAT to see everyone - we are chit-chattin away and the DJ comes in and Jocelyn tells him we have to do the "WOBBLE" and then tells him it's are Anniversary so he needs to play it soon because -"they need to go home and have SEX!!" He buys us a around for our Anniversary and says he will play it soon.
In the meantime I go to the bathroom - I have a very hard time going to the bathroom in public, poop or pee, all the sounds in the bathroom have to be just right so I can go - that being said I think this bathroom in the WORST bathroom in Parker, CO.  I go in there another girl is in the big stall - and I ALWAYS go in the big stall, so I go in the little one, I feel like she is sitting right next to me and I could hold her hand - it smells gross- you can see many of people have thrown up in there - EWWWWWW!!!!  Sorry this story in not about the bathroom at all, I don't know why I'm even describing it in detail - it's gross and the sounds weren't right and I couldn't go - I had to go so bad that my stomach was hurting, but I just could NOT get it to happen, then I hear the DJ as I'm trying one more time to flush, so I would have the noise "WE ARE GOING TO WOBBLE- WHERE IS THAT GIRL???"
FUCKING REALLY I'm all nervous now trying to pull my pants up as fast as I could, but I have the Spanex and I was getting that in the right spot....I hear "WHERE IS SHE?????" ....SSSSHHHHIIIIITTTT, I know Dave is laughing his ass off because I'm in the shitter wishing I could pee, and he knows I can hear him asking for me.  I wash my hand real quick and run out like I was coming around the corner "THERE SHE IS!!!!" we are playing your song next girl - I ran out for THAT???  I put on my BIG smile and come and sit down next to Dave who is still laughing "HAHAHAAAAA YOU WERE IN THE SHITTER"
Me- "not funny because I didn't even go pee because the noises weren't right and now I might need to go to the store (my store) so I can fucking pee"
Dave is the type that can do his business anywhere POOP or PEE even the EXPLODING SHIT Dave can do it in public.....me--- NO, and he does NOT UNDERSTAND.
Dave- OH MY GOD you didn't go???
Me- NOPE I couldn't the noises weren't right and its gross and then I could hear him called me (of course as I'm talking my hands are flying everywhere because this is a HUGE deal for me) I just need to pee.
Dave - just get in there and go.
Me- what if I have gas, I cant go if the noise isn't right
Dave - that's stupid
Me - your stupid....UGH NEVER MIND


WOBBLE song comes on and Jocelyn, the DJ, me and this other chic are out there.  I feel like I have a little more room in my pants - and I start thinking as I'm wobble-ing how can that be because I'm bloating because I have to pee, I go to smooth my pants out and I feel it--- my fly is open, I try to zip it up, I cant the material from my jacket is in my zipper FFFUUUUCCCCKKKK!!!!!!!  I try again and everyone is looking at the stage because the birthday girl is up there and we are in a sense line dancing - but in a good way :)
 I say to Jocelyn "my damn zipper is down and my jacket is suck in it and I cant get it out"
she starts laughing so damn hard......
In this dance you move so your not facing the crowd, at that time I really start working on it - nothing - Jocelyn is laughing I'm thinking shit you can see my spanx and the whole bar is looking at us - COME ON - nothing - so I pull my shirt down so I can hide it and we turn again I see Dave looking at me, he knows something is up - he is giving me that "WHATEVER THE HELL YOU ARE DOING STOP' - face. - not facing the crowd again I try again  - NOTHING!!!  Pull everything down and wish this damn song would end - it ends.  I walk over to Dave
Dave - "what the hell are you doing lady??"
Me - "my jacket is stuck in my zipper and my zipper is DOWN"
Dave- HHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA - "that's funny - you couldn't see anything while you were dancing"
Me- "are you sure?"
Dave - "yes, I watched you the whole time"
as we are talking I get the zipper free and zip it up....the rest of the night I was worried about the zipper so I kept messing with it.  Time to go (because I still have to PEE) say good-bye to everyone, get in the car and Dave says "we have to talk about something."
Me- "what??"
Dave - "as your best friend for 18 years and your husband for 16 years I have to tell you NO MORE SPANX it makes you look like you have a diaper on - with a pile of shit in your diaper -  like the old people I help everyday - it looks like you have no butt crack, it takes your butt and flattens it - it's not attractive."
Me - "WOW, okay i will never wear them again...
Dave- "I'm just saying as your best friend - husband - as a man"
Me - "okay I get it"
Dave - "they are ugly"
Me "got it"
Dave "only old people wear those, why are you wearing them"
Me - "no, Dave not only for old people, where did you get that information, old people don't wear spanx, they don't care"
Dave - "well you cant wear that anymore"
Me "old grandma butt .....REALLY???"
Dave "YEP"
Me - "Damn that sucks"
Dave "YEP"

NO MORE SPANX FOR ME.....THANK GOD!!!!!!

My Anniversay - 09/07/96

This is going to be a hard one - one I work on for a couple of days - one that everyone has told me to write for about a year now....well here it goes.

September 7th 2011 - I was suppose to be celebrating my 15 year anniversary with my husband, we were going to go to our favorite Bed & Breakfast place in Evergreen, have dinner and enjoy the two of us.  But we didn't get to on September 7th 2011 I had already been in the hospital for 4 days and on THIS DAY I was going in for my 3rd surgery - but this one was an emergency surgery, they were opening me up to see what was happening inside, why they couldn't get my fever down, why I wouldn't stop throwing up or going to the bathroom non-stop.  As I was in the pre-op area, I remember looking at Dave and saying Happy Anniversary and hoping that this would not be the last time I would see him.  The Dr. came in and told Dave surgery would be about an hour and a half, I wasn't really talking much, but I do remember her looking Dave in his face and saying
"I'm not going to let her die."
Both of us started crying my tears wouldn't stop, and Dave held my hand tight knowing that I was scared to death but, it was a relief to hear that and then I remember, waking me up, I remember seeing my mom and Dave and my Dr. I couldn't talk for some reason but I could hear them talking over me, I couldn't focus my eyes so I stopped trying to open them -and just listened.  I heard the Dr. say
"sorry it took so long, we got in there and it was pretty bad, her ovary was the size of a large tennis ball and her cervix has been turned over to the lab, she has 5 scars and one is draining, with how bad it was she will be with us for awhile" (it took 4 hrs - I guess my mom was going CRAZY - and a couple of my friends that worked at the hospital were trying to get information and they couldn't)
I HATE hospital's so once I heard that I started trying to open my eyes again to ask "WHY" but next thing I remember is being in my room and SO MUCH PAIN.  I felt like crap, Dave was trying to rub my forehead because the tears would just flow and I couldn't get it to stop, the pain was out of control and since I'm a allergic to everything I don't get the good stuff.  An alarm went off and the nurse comes in and tells me the my oxygen is too low and I have to put those stupid thing in my nose - which is AWESOME when your crying.  So I would take it off and Dave would put it back on :(  I wanted Dave to stay with me but Devon was leaving on a school trip and that meant Dawson would be alone and I didn't want that- so Dave went home -which was probably good because Dr.'s, Nurse's, I swear everyone came to see me and he wouldn't be able to sleep.

On the morning of September 8th - Dave shows up in his Real Deals work clothes to say Hi to me and then he is going to work, he asks how my night went I told him HORRIBLE and then my Dr. comes in-
she says "we got your labs back from your cervix..." and .I. kid. you. not .it was like the movies - 2 nurses walk in fully gowned in yellow maze-mat clothes they tell Dave "we are moving her to the 6th floor, get all her stuff together and help us."
I look at my Dr. "what's going on??"
my Dr. say "they are overreacting, Dave get Megan's stuff and I will meet you up stairs"
They get me in the wheelchair and I ask "what is going on, why are you dressed like that?"
the one nurse says "your Dr. should have told you, I'm sure she will up stairs."  The wheelchair ride was a hard one, the pain was INSANE, Dave just held my hand, not knowing what is going on either but didn't show me any weakness.  It was the longest wait to get my Dr., but I was pretty weak - so I couldn't complain much.  I remember coming into this beautiful room, much bigger then my other one - a nice big window that I could look out at I-25 and WISH that I was in traffic.  I lay in bed and waiting to hear what has been found.  My Dr. comes in and Infectious Disease Dr.'s are with her.  They start talking I'm listening in and out - which is pissing me off because I REALLY wanted to hear what was being said, they are mostly talking to Dave but I hear jhlkdsjguth, I don't know what that one is I then hear E-Coli and the reason I was shipped to the 6th floor ...GANGRENE.  I did have the BEST Gangrene you can have, it wasn't in a form of a gas (fatal) and it wasn't in my blood stream - only the cervix was gangrene and had left pockets of gangrene everywhere it tried to stay because it was detached on accident.  Infectious Disease Dr's have NO bed side manners, they are not kind - well the ones I had - which I guess were the BEST - they say to Dave that they are going to try a different antibiotic- actually 4 different ones every 8hrs I will have to take them - if this doesn't work we will have to resume and try again.
I hear my Dr. say to Dave "we are going to need every phone number you have if you are going to work, she needs to rest and let her body try and heal itself."
I open my eyes and look at Dave, I feel pain and very weak, they are trying to shove Ensure in front of me because I cant eat or drink and they are freakin out, Dave looks calm - I don't know if it's shock or he doesn't know what to ask or say.
I remember looking at my Dr and saying "was this my fault??  did I do this to myself???"
she said "no this was not your fault"
I said "I called you 5 times"
Dave said "It's no ones fault, let's just get her better"
All the Dr.'s leave and I'm dripping sweat- the nurse is trying to help me get comfortable and Dave gets ready to leave.  He says he will be back in a little bit and tells me to rest.  This is a Thursday so I know he is at Real Deals and that if he HAS to he can close the store and come help me.  I remember opening my eyes and also hearing my Dr and the 2 infectious disease Dr.'s come back into my room - Dave is not there, I hear one of the Dr.'s say "if this doesn't work we are going to have to get her to St. Jude's and they will have to help her"
The other Dr. says "this is the best we can do."
I feel someone holding my hand it feels like a woman so I'm assuming its my Dr.  she is talking but I cant hear what they are saying or I couldn't focus enough to hear them.
Dave comes in later and it's dark outside he just came to sit with me a bit and whenever he would show up I would always try my hardest to get up and talk, but this night he knew I wasn't doing well - they were still trying to get me to drink the ensure so he was putting the straw up to my mouth so I would drink that nasty shit.  He wanted to stay with me but I told him to go be with Dawson.  So he left.  I was in a TON of pain and my body was dripping with sweat the nurses came in to change me bedding but then they decided not to because I wasn't moving that well. At 10:00pm my Dr. is there, I was very confused - and she took my cell phone off the side table and said
"if they move you or if anything happens tonight you call me, even if you cant talk call this number" she left it so it was on her number which was her cell.  she then said "I promised Dave that you weren't going to die, you've got to help me with this."  I remember smiling and her smiling back.

This is the part where it's gonna get hard for me.  After she left, I don't know how long - there was no pain, I remember feeling lite, I remember feeling better like I was flying, I heard no machines beeping it was quite and calm- I remember this feeling like I'm there right now, I was letting go - it was so peaceful and relaxing. It felt like I had been there forever - I felt clean and fresh, but the biggest thing was PEACE.  Then I heard this sound - I heard it again - it was pulling me back - oh my god the PAIN - the noises - my phone was going off - I look at it and start trying to reach for it but it was like my brain knew what it wanted but my hands couldn't do it.  Finally I got the phone it was a text from Dawson saying "mom I miss you, I wish you would come home." stamped at 2:34AM.  At that point I knew that more then anything I had to fight for 3 people Devon & Dawson and my husband.
 A nurse comes in and starts running all the normal tests and she says
"your pulse-ox?? is very low I'm putting you back on the oxygen"
All I was thinking is I cant go now, I HAVE TO FIGHT and though I so wanted to go to the peaceful place I couldn't, I needed to be a mom and a wife, I had to fight.  I stayed awake and tried to drink the stupid Ensure and even asked for another one.  At 5:00am every morning the Lab guy would come in and take my blood and by 9:00am we were going to know if I was going to be able to stay or if I would have to be transferred.  At 9:30am my Dr. and Infectious Disease Dr. came in and said that my white cell count went down a little, that is GREAT news, if we stay on this path you could be out of here in 6-7 days.  I was fine with that just let me stay here and be close to my family - I'M READY TO FIGHT!!!!!

I have told people this story before they would ask if I saw the light - no I don't remember a bright light, I just remember the pain was completely gone and that it was so peaceful and quite and I told myself that I was going to be okay.
Do you think you were asleep?  No, SOOOOOOO DIFFERENT!!!

I didn't tell Dave what happened that night until I was home - at that time he was going through a lot and I didn't want to upset him more. I didn't tell anyone, but my Dr. - she knew things were bad - that's why she put her phone number in my phone.

I can tell you- this has been a LONG road - but I'm doing GREAT now.  Things are good, Family, Friends....LIFE IS GOOD!!!!

Thank you - to all of you reading this story right now - YOU were probably one of the ones that were pulling for me - praying for me and my family.  THANK YOU!!!

I'm gonna celebrate my Anniversary - with an AWESOME man that I mess with WAY too much, that I love with ALL my heart, and I don't ever want to be without.  I LOVE YOU DAVID FOSTER!!!!!

Yesterday we had a stupid ass clear out our account with stupid stuff like Itunes and Proflowers so I said to Dave "now you can't buy me a present"
he said "I'll give you a kiss and a penis=BOTH FREE"
WOW best Anniversary EVER!!!!

RUN FORREST RUN

A couple of weeks ago my son- a newbie driver - followed Dave to the gas station so Dave could get him some gas, my son got pulled over and Dave called me LAUGHING his ASS off.  I told him it wasn't funny and to go to the cop car.  He said "NO WAY, am I walking up to the COP CAR"  we had a big "discussion" about how I would've gone up to the cop car, and how Dave said he would NEVER do that.

Last night we had my parents over for dinner and Dave and my dad were drinking their beers, I'm not drinking at all - well-my water :).  My neighbor text's and says come over when your parents leave and have some drinks.  Dawson is at the bike park and I need to pick him up at 10:00, he had called and asked if Tyler (never met him) and Issac could spend the night and I said "yes."  I called him at 8:45 and said "can I come get you now because I'm going to a party and I want to have a couple drinks?"
He says "NO, PICK ME UP AT 10:00"
I say to Dave "can you pick them up?"
he says "NO. I've already had 6 beers"
"Fine lets go to the neighbors and then I will come back and get Dawson and his friends"
the lights at the bike park turn OFF at 10:00pm
We walk to the neighbors about 10 houses up and Dave has 3 more beers and I have 1 1/2 and I say "we have to go, I have to get Dawson and his friends."
Dave finishes his beer and we walk home, at this time Dawson has called and said "the lights are off are you coming?"
"yep on my way."
I get into the car and start thinking about DJ snapping at a kid at the party- not hurting him, but I was thinking maybe we should've talked to his parents about it right -then and there.  I called to talk to Dave about and Devon answers the phone - "HELLLLLOOOOOOO"
I say "let me talk to your dad"
Devon starts screaming for his dad -and I get this idea in my head to tell Dave I got pulled over. (I'm so damn mean)
he gets on the phone "what??"
I say in a low voice "I'm getting pulled over"
he says "do you have something to put into your mouth?"
I wanted to laugh but I she "oh my god -no"
he says "you are going to have to deal with this."
I said "who is going to get Dawson?.... Oh I have to go" I hang up on him.  I start laughing to myself thinking well he wont drive, and he wont let Devon drive him I will call him back when I'm at the bike park while the kids are loading.
I get to the bike park and Dawson comes to the car and these 2 guys (I know them, but I'm not using their names) GROWN ASS MEN both in their late 30's- one has kids watching- are fighting in the parking lot - not throwing down yet, but SCREAMING at each other and circling each other.  Dawson says "dad said you got pulled over"
I said "I was joking- what's going on here?"
Dawson said "they have been doing this for hours"
his guy walks over to my car and says "this is crazy, one of them hit the other-ones kid and they crashed, so he told the other guy you're not a good dad because you're not watching your kids, and they are both in trouble with the cops so both of them are waiting for the other to punch first"
I said "are those his kids watching this shit?"
the guy said "yep - great role models"
I yell out "GO HOME"
the guy says "they aren't going to listen, and the cop is just sitting right there watching them anyways"
I look over and the cop turns his lights on and comes over I hear him say "what are you guys fighting over?" the whole gang of people start talking and the cop puts his hand out and says "ONE AT A TIME"
I have forgotten about my little joke I pulled, and Dawson starts telling me what happened that they are fighting over.  Dawson phone rings - I say "oh shit, don't answer it." Dawson declines it.
he says "I'm calling my dad and telling him you are joking, he is probably worried about you"
Dawson friends are in the back and Dawson is in the front.  Dawson calls Dave "Hey, mom was joking"
I cant hear what Dave is says but Dawson says "mom is stupid"
I say "HEY!!"
I take the phone from him and Dave says "I ran to Hess and Jordan looking for you."
I said "WHAT??? YOU RAN???"
he says "YES - I RAN!!!!!"
"honey I'm so sorry I'm almost there I will pick you up"
he says "DO NOT PICK ME UP!!!"
and he hangs up.  I say to the boys "I'm in BIG TROUBLE"
Dawson says "you're stupid"
I say "I KNOW"
we pull onto Hess and Dave is walking I pull over and he says "GO HOME MEGAN."
I say "NO, I WILL PULL UP-- AND YOU WILL GET IN THE CAR."
he says "NO - GO HOME."
so I pull up and turn around so I'm off of Hess (because it's a busy road)
we look down the street and Dave is gone - look up the street and Dave is gone.  Dawson gets out and I say "he is hiding in the bushes"
Dawson is kind-of scared because he has no clue what his dad is doing so he turns on the flash light on his phone and he can see Dave hiding and says "GET IN THE CAR."
Dave says "NO"
Dawson says "GET IN THE DAMN CAR."
Issac says "is this a normal night?"
I said "yep - hangin with the Foster's"
Dawson says "GET IN THE CAR."
Dave comes out of the bushes and looks at me and says "I'M NOT GETTING IN THE CAR, LET ME WALK AND COOL OFF."
I think to myself ....."oh shit - YOU IN BIG TROUBLE"
so the other kid in the car Tyler (who I just met) is in silence, does NOT know what to say or do.  Dawson gets into the car and says "he is MAD at you, do you think you will get divorced over this? If you do Devon and I will make your "NEW LIFE" with your "NEW FAMILIES" a living hell"
I say "Dawson we wont get divorced over this."
he says "this was stupid mom, don't do this again."
"I KNOW"  I get home park the car and start running, I run ...and run until I see Dave and then I run faster, I get to him - "I'm SO SO SO SORRY, NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS DID I THINK YOU WOULD RUN LIKE FORREST GUMP."
He laughs a little and hugs me.
I said "what were you going to do???  you don't go up to cops."
and through the tears he said "I don't know, I was so scared for you, I just wanted to be there for you.  I couldn't get into the car because I was so emotional"
I felt like a piece of shit, I BIG HUGE PIECE OF SHIT.
I apologized all the way home - and when he got home I said "REALLY??? You start running??? You don't run!!"
He says "I know, I think I should start, I almost passed out twice and had to stop once because I thought I was going to throw up"
Poor guy....NEVER doing that again he told me that one of my "JOKES" is actually going to make him have a heart-attack, and then I will REALLY feel like shit.
He is pretty sore today from his running...... but at least he is laughing about it today :)
