Am I being a bitch?

Ok quick entry because I am kinda irritated right now... Maybe I am just being a bitch... I want you to tell me if I am ok...

We leave in less than 2 days... so you can imagine the stuff going on around here at the moment... garage is open, welding is being done in the trailer, I am doing tons of laundry... washing blankets, pillows, clothes gear etc...

Anyway, Kameron's girlfriend comes over because she knows Kam is leaving for 3 weeks... [Fine I don't have a problem with that] however, she brought her dog Jake [a Pomeranian / Chihuahua] to play with Bolts... Now if you read my last entry, you would understand GiGI doesn't play well with others...

So... because she doesn't play well with others... Amber has this metal gate thing going across the opening to the living room [which I have to walk over every time I go to the laundry room!] Meanwhile she has her laptop and school work all over the couch doing homework for college...

Now I don't have a problem wirth any of it except her bringing her dog over here... It isn't helping us get ready... It is a total distraction... Gi Gi and Rider are totally pissed they can't go in the family room and GiGI keeps growling at the new dog here...

I don't need this at the moment and I dont think it takes a brain surgeon to figure out this is not a great idea...

 

Ok... so am I being a bitch by being irritated or not?

Oh Mon Cheri, give it to me....

 
 Im a sitting here with Betty Baby Bolts on my lap so she will take a nigh-night;) 
I swear having a puppy in the house is like a having a baby in the house only worse... baby's don't run around eating everything they can at 6 weeks old!!!
 
Glamma Kendra has learned she falls asleep fairly quickly watching the letters on the screen getting typed and she loves the pillow I have her on LOL...
What am I going to do when she gets older and still thinks she is a lap dog?
 
GiGi is getting use to her, which is a miracle... huh Candice?
I should have a t-shirt made for GiGi "Does not play well with others
I could NEVER take her to a dog park... Sadly that is my own damn fault for not letting her get use to other dogs growing up....
She did get use to Koda [Candice's chihuahua] but that was because he was in LOVE/LUST with her...  He would wait till she laid down and hump her leg like crazy... she just looked at him like "ya whatever, as if"
 
I gave him a Pepe le Pew voice tho... and then said
 
"Ohhhh Mon Cheri, I love you, you are my big black bitch, c'mon give it to me, I know you have it with you!"
 
I don't really have a voice for GiGi...  I do however feel if she was a person she would be Venus Williams the tennis player because she is so buff,  graceful, and fast!
 
Rider I do have a voice for... He has an East Coast upper crust voice and he says
"Oh Really Mother, must you call for me like that? You know I simply will not listen when you do..." 
big sigh... from being bored with me!
I swear he acts like a cat... he is too cool and will not listen...
He is NOT into Baby Bolts at all and barks at her every chance he gets... I think he knows if he is nice to her, he will be all chewed up from her baby teeth... so he keeps her at a distance...
 
Gi Gi is getting much better and her hacklesdon't go up anymore thank goodness... the puppy can walk through her legs and follow her around... but when she needs to be put in her place... Gi Gi simply puts her paw out and pins her to the ground like saying "enough already"...
 
Anyway, this has been a nice break but I gotta go get us ready... besides Pam is going to be here any minute...  [My partner in crime woo hoo]
 
Ya'all come back now hear

This is where we are going first

Lake Whitney Texas... We race here for a week and then we go to Oak Hill Texas to race for a week... 

Over 3,000 racers from all over the country will be there!

We leave in 2 days....

Ahhhhhhh..............   It will take over 19 hours to get there... [well 19 hours is no stops!  That is not going to happen!]  So I would say 2 days to get there... Wow... 

Now everyone will be gratful we are pulling a trailer WITH a toilet! LOL

"Are we there yet?"

"Are we there yet?"

"How much longer?"

This and That

We are doing pretty good getting ready...

Today Kameron has to weld a new bar to go across the toyhauler to hold the bikes...

It has O ring things in the floor but to maximize the space, the bar works better, plus the bikes don't rub against each other and tear up graphics...

Anyway, I forgot to tell you about the owner of Perris Raceway...

Well there are two owners Rick Johnson and Sebastian Tortelli... these are very famous names in the world of Motocross...  They no longer race as pros but its kind of weird to see them walking around in the pits... what is even more strange is Sebastian Tortelli loves to cook, so you can find him usually behind the grill on Saturday and Sunday's...

Sunday morning he was making crepes

[he's french] and Kameron had some they were great he said...

Just try to imagine your favorite sports celebrity cooking for you?  Doesn't that seem weird? 

Like.... Phil... 5 years from now Tony Stewart is behind the grill at the local Nascar track making you a burger! Doesn't that seem weird?  or

Lisa Jo... Simon at the local Karaoke bar making you a crumpet and tea... See what I mean... strange... just feels weird... 

or

Ellen... Eddie Van Halen grilling up a hot dog at a local concert...

I'm sorry its just a strange thing...

Only a few years ago, I had to stand in line for his autograph and then there he is making crepes... 

Its a twilight zone moment I'm telling you...

Just wanted to share that with all of you...

Sunday photos

 
This weekend just wasn't a good race weekend for us... It happens...
 
[stickers on our old MX trailer]
 
Two weeks ago it was a good one.... Kameron and Kieffer took 1st place and Kameron won a new helmet in a raffle!
 
Everything was an uphill battle at the track... including sign ups... after sign ups we hear Kameron's name over the loud speaker to come to registration...
First they tell us there is another #491, so Kameron has to drop the 1 and become 49... we say okay and do it... [it happens sometimes]
Then they post the races and Kameron's name is not on it?
So we go back to registration and they say...
Oh we're sorry, we were wrong he can use his number #491... Ok so we put the 1 back on... then we find out they are calling him [Gus Butters] during the race? WTH?  We get that straightened out and the next day... they sign him up as Kanernon Silva [age 28] WTH?
 
I should have told Sam its a sign let's go home...
I'm big on signs in life or listening to your inner voice... How many times have you been to the store to buy something and your inner voice says 'get butter' or whatever and you think 'Oh I have plenty' and you get home and its all gone and you need some...  
 
Like I said I should have listened to my inner voice this weekend... What else happened?
Kieffer was in 5th on Saturday and him and another kid banged bars and Kieffer ended up going down and came in 26th I believe... Something like that also happened to Kameron... plus he snapped a foot peg in half [on a bike Kieffer had to use in his next race so they had to hurry up and change it from another bike... 
[above Kameron and Corey changing numbers
below Kevin and Joe helping too]
 
 
Kieffer's first race on Sunday he dipped his foot and then came of the track saying I think I broke 'my 5th metatorsal in my foot' but when he got off the bike and walked I knew he was going to be okay... 
[spoken like a kid who has broken a few bones 'my 5th metatorsal'] - rolling my eyes
 
It was a crazy day we were race 2,4,6,8, and 10...
[you race each race two times and then combine the score]
Sam stayed at the starting line all day
[he sweeps their gates and helps them pick a gate]
 
Sam's cousin Pam and her family came to the races again on Sunday... [we sold a bike to Pam's grandson Corey who is 13]  they came to pick it up at Perris Raceway which was closer than driving here to get it...
 
Note to Pam - you all are welcome anytime we race... we had a lot of fun hanging with all of you... you guys made a horrible weekend of racing much more fun...  Kept us from thinking about it... ;)
 
[Pam's daughter Christy, her hubby Troy and their youngest Blake]
[Kameron gave Blake his sunglasses to wear, see Blake looking up at Kameron]
 
[Below is Pam -my partner in crime ;) ]
[Pam's daughter Christy and Pam's grandson Blake below]
 
 
Pam is going to be staying here for the 3 weeks we are gone to take care of Gi Gi and Rider... They are going to think we are never coming back... Poor goggie doggies! 
 
[Kameron and Miss Betty Bolts]
 
 
Miss Betty Bolts will be attending the races with us... Rolling my eyes! 
 
[Kameron's white puppy] 
 
[her name is actually Bolts because he is a Charger fan but when I tell people that at the track they say...
"Is there a Nuts at home too?" 
[Nuts and Bolts] 
I am not allowed to think that is a stupid name for a dog because my dog's name is GiGi for Girlie Girl...
I can't help it, the name just stuck...
"You are such a cutie, girlie girl"
 
Anyway... have you ever heard of the way of learning your supposed porn name?
Here is how you do it... Take the name of the first pet you ever had and the name of the first street you lived on...
Mine is Boots Neece,
Kameron's is Czar Largo,
Candice's is Czar Prospect
Kieffer's is Domino Raposa
 
Get it?  What is your porn name then?
 
Today is Monday... we leave Friday morning
[ya right... how much you wanna bet we don't leave till Saturday morning]
because we are so not ready...
I have been plugging away at getting ready... you guys would be so proud of me...
Two days ago, when I was home alone [remember] I made a huge pot of Spagetti with Italian sausage, Huge pot of Chili, Big Cooker full of what I call gravy chicken, [I put it over rice] mmmmm mmmm good, made a bunch of burrito or taco meat, 
Then I put it all in freezer bags laid flat in the freezer for easy storage... that made about10 dinners... then I will take a crock pot and line it with a turkey bag and heat up my meals... that way when we are finished with dinner I remove the turkey bag from the crock pot and throw it away... crock pot is clean and ready for the next night... ta da...  I learned to do that little trick while working at Sacred Heart Catholic School Hot Lunch Program... on the day we had Nacho's [and burritos] it was so nice not to have to clean off that Nacho sauce out of a crock pot!
 
Okay well I better back to getting ready to go... 
Don't forget to give your porno name...
[pet and name of street you grew up on] 
 
[below is the old trailer we used... see no toilet!!]
 
PS: I am wondering if putting my pictures in the story makes it not flow as well?  what do you think?
