It's Race Day Saturday

Well I didn't post anything yesterday but I was so busy. I did end up getting my truck back on Thursday afternoon. It runs so good. After getting the truck back Kayla and I went to Nacogdoches to visit Aunt Birdie. We also ordered a NASCAR birthday cake so we could celebrate Carl Edwards 29th birthday. Carl's birthday was yesterday.
Yesterday didn't start out too good. I got news that two of the boys that I taught (as a sub) at Chireno High School were in a car wreck about two miles from my house. I know both boys. I went to the bank to cash a check and the boy that waited on me told me that it was Kyle Moore and Deron Davis aka Fish. I was just so shocked.
Kayla and I then left to go to Lufkin to do some school clothes shopping and we found out from Susan Higginbotham that it was Kyle and Richard Miller. When I asked Susan how they were--she informed me that the doctors were saying that there wasn't anything they could do for them.
Ended up shopping--got some good deals and then went to Nacogdoches to pick up the birthday cake. After getting home, I found out that Aunt Birdie was re-admitted to the hospital.
Today, Kayla and I went to Nacogdoches to visit with Aunt Birdie--who happens to be doing a little bit better today. Then went to Wal Mart to get a few things we forgot yesterday. Then I went by the other Nacogdoches Hospital and was able to visit with Opal Moore (Kyle's Mom). There isn't much improvement in Kyle but like Opal said--he's still alive 24 hours after the accident. Richard has shown a little improvement. Opal also told me that she might need me to sub in the office for her at least the first week of school. I told her that I wouldn't mind subbing for her but wished it was for other reasons. She said that the doctor wanted her to go home and try to rest but as a mother--she couldn't leave Kyle. She had a waiting room full of people waiting with her so I didn't stay. I will continue to check on both of them.
Now we are waiting for the Nationwide Race to start--Carl is sitting on the pole. Now for tomorrow's race Carl is scheduled to start 27th but we know that he will start at least in 26th because Ryan Newman had to change an engine out so he will go to the back. But something really great--Carl was fastest in the last practice. Go CARL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will come back to post more later.
