Quick, Fast, and In a Hurry

I am sure all of you have heard it by now, but one of the greatest sex symbols of our lifetime has passed away today after a long struggle. Farrah Fawcett has died at the age of 62 from a tedious battle with cancer. Please say a prayer for the family and friends of this fallen angel as I did when I read the story.
In other news, here in our lovely city of Memphis the mayor has finally resigned his post and is hoping to run for the 39th Congressional seat in the future. I hate to say it, but I will be thrilled to see him step down and move on from here. Maybe now we as a city can rise up and be greater. Hopefully we can keep all the sports teams and the new restaurants that have opened up in business and everything will transition well. Everyone around me has said that we needed to vote him out for years, and he has been our leader for 18 years now. Of course the person stepping in isn't any better. Over all I think that him leaving will be a great thing for this southern city on the river.
Work has been crazy busy lately for no reason at all. I constantly wonder if things like the heat contribute to sleep apnea, which is what I do. The summer is normally our slow time of the year with everyone going on vacations and not wanting to spend the money on medical testing. I suppose I can understand that logic because I seem to look forward to a slow and steady summer to get caught up on the paper work that gets looked over. Unfortunately, that hasn't happend this month at all. May started off slower and then June boomed. We as a group have mixed feelings about all of this because we want to be busy and then again we wanted to breathe a bit. Until it slows, we will just keep on trudging as though it were winter.
Grey baby is almost walking folks. Wish us luck ;) He is standing in the middle of the floor without any assistance at all needed. Five or six steps is what he is up to right now, but he is desperately trying to walk more and even taking a stab at some running. I think he's going to follow in our family's footsteps and want to constantly be on the move. This week his parents took him to the mall in the stroller and when they stopped to look at something he would rock forward and then backward in attempts to make it continue rolling. LOL. We need to get that baby a four wheeler, bike, or maybe even a little race car. Tonight I am reluctantly going to accompany Momma to Wal-Mart so that we can get safety products to drape our house in because the little bugger won't stop pulling open cabinets, trying to go up the stairs, and opening and shutting all the doors in the house. Psst... please nobody tell him about the electrical outlets because his Daddy was a pro and sticking things in those. The more vocal Grey becomes the more we laugh and have to call and tell each other how cute. Now, when I hold him while eating he will chew along with me even though there is nothing in his mouth. Take my word for it, you can't help but smile at how precious he is. He is just that darn cute and funny. How awesome it is to watch a little person experience life for the very first time. Crazy to think how fast he is cruising through all the steps in childhood. It goes by too fast. Alright, enough bragging for now I got to get back to work. Until next time, stay cool and if you know someone with sleeping problems give me a shout.
