My Mama was all pissed off today because I slept through the family dinner even though everyone took turns hollering at me to get up. This evening me and Kiah had some fun with the camera.






I came across this picture again. I posted it a long time ago when I found it on my computer at home. [inlink]robin,105[/inlink]



I went and asked my Dad who they were and he told me the craziest story. The couple in the picture were my Granny's grandparents so I was right in guessing that they were my Great Great grandparents. Here is their story.

The woman in the picture was married twice. The man in the picture is her second husband, both of her husbands were drafted by the confederacy and fought in the civil war. Her first husband was injured in the war so she left North Carolina to go to Richmond and nurse him. She left her two children in the care of a neighboring family.
She got to Richmond and her first husband eventually died there. When she got back to North Carolina and went for her children she found that they had died of starvation and abuse at the hands of the family who she thought would care for them.
Then she met the man in the picture and married him. When her second husband found out what happened to her children he went to the small mill (where the child killers lived) and he murdered them. Then my great great grandparents moved in there and took over.
I don't know if I wrote that coherently but I tried to tell it like my Daddy just told me.

Deliverance is a sick movie. I liked it. It was lawless, with the law ever present of course.

last night I sat up with Andy's housemates and watched half of the Lord of the Rings movies. I went to sleep at 7 and around 8 Skip came running in waking us up while freaking out because his girlfriend kicked him out of her life. Skip had a drunken wreck and drove 10 miles to Andy's with one tire missing. He woke us up yelling about

beautiful kids look at you you're sleeping, ah God.
sleeping
wrecked my fucking car,
Kelly kicked me out,
awww
Go back to sleep
my life sucks right now
look at me

and he went on like that till Andy woke up. Good Lord.
Andy drove Skip all over then he had to go work at the packaging store.
I'm getting up the energy to drive back to Adairsville.
Kiah drains my energy. i think it's because when you're a child time seems to go by so slowly and you have excess energy but as you grow older time speeds up and your energy is zapped.
