A Man in Diapers

The kids run up to the door after school today. All three of them are trying to talk to me at the same time. The look on their faces is kind of a smiling scared if you can imagine.

I quieted them (I actually hushed them) and then listened as they proceeded to tell me that a man on our street came outside in "his diaper" and threatened the kids with extremely foul language. He screamed the "f" word among many other colorful words and told them he was going to kick their "A's" and beat them up.

Why? Well, they said he told them to stop beating Jax up. Beating Jax? I'm not kidding. We are talking about my three boys and their friend Jackson. Jax actually fell on the ground and Jackson was trying to help him up and make him feel better. NO ONE was touching Jax.

So, I meet up with Jackson's Mom and we head over to this guys house. We get to the door and it is wide open and an absolute disaster. I call out to get a response and sure enough HE RESPONDED.

He was in the locked bathroom yelling at Jen and I - totally disgusting language. He told us that one of the boys had to go to the bathroom and the other boys told him to run like their Dad would and he was obviously confused and not making any sense whatsoever. I finally told him that if he ever spoke like that to our children that I was going to call the police. He kept yelling so I got on the phone and called the police.

I was genuinely concerned about him. I never thought people actually talked to other people the way he talked to our kids and to us. Something MUST be wrong with him.
The police come. Take my statement. Take the boys statements. They leave and go to the guys house. They come back.

NOTHING wrong with the guy. He was picked on as a kid and he was trying to protect Jax - IN A DIAPER MIGHT I ADD! Protect him from WHAT??????? The guy has SERIOUS ISSUES! He lied and I think he is dangerous. He is going to cramp my life now that I have to walk the boys home from school every day! THANKS A WHOLE LOT GUY IN DIAPERS!!!!

We are getting excited about our new little puppy - HURLEY. He is so cute and not only is he coming from the Sallee hometown but I found out that he was born on my birthday and he will probably be shipped on Gary's and my anniversary! So strange how these things work.

If anyone has a big wire crate with the divider so it can grow with our Hurley please let me know. I let a few friends borrow the ones Matt and Jen had given me to use and I hate to take it away from them as they still use them. I also need a fairly big plastic travel crate with the latch door in the front to keep him in for a while. Anyone have a doggy play yard? I have looked on Craigs List and so far nothing worth much of anything. I guess I could have someone get me on to the Ladera Life site to take a peek. Let me know if you are getting rid of anything having to do with puppies!

I have another blog entry on my other computer that I need to post from the past few days. I promise to do that tonight.

Jax is having a hard night tonight. He has now voiced how unfair he thinks it is that all of his friends have Dads and he does not. It is so hard to go through this BUT we are making it through together and I thank God every day that Gary gave these 3 amazing boys to me! They are a true joy every single day!

God is good. Remember to look for the good in everything. It is there. Sometimes you really have to look but it is there.

Off to finish laundry, pack lunches, get the boys to bed, do the dishes and everything else that might pile up if I leave it!

Praise and Love,

Lisa
