RN it's thundering and the rain is starting to pour down. First time it's rained like this since we had a terrible storm a few weeks ago. I'm sitting here crossing my fingers that my basement doesn't get flooded again. I had the sewer rodded out and the gutters cleaned. I'm hoping that will alleviate the problem.

No, Dahli. I asked the same thing in the quit smoking thread. GAL hasn't posted in quite some time. I miss her.

RN Caleb's buddy just called and invited him to go to the fair tonight. He's got tickets to see Fergie...I'm not sure Caleb even knows who Fergie is (probably does) but he's excited. It's the first time he's going without us and will get to walk around some by himself (him and his friend.) Sigh...growing up too fast I tell ya.

RN - I know it's hard to start letting go War., trust me, not only did I have to go through it with my 3 but, I practically raised the 2 oldest grandsons until they were 8 & 9. Ya gotta trust your kid until they give you a reason not to (you also need to trust yourself as a parent that you've done your best in helping them to be independent a little). bitter-sweet!

Right now, just getting back from a "casual" barbecue at a friends' house, I'm realizing that in LA "casual" for women means showing as much boob as possible and teetering on stilettos. And here I was in my flat sandals, Target skirt and sweet sleeved top. What was I thinking?!

RN yep, Deb and Caleb's never given us a reason not to trust him (well except for turning in homework, lol, everything else he's great.) They had a fun time, spent all their money though. Their tickets were 13th row back (both boys mentioned there were hot girls all around them, lol.) Opening act was some dancers, hip hop I think they said, then Fergie came and did 3 songs. The electricity kept going out so after several times they cancelled the rest of the concert. The boys set in their seats, checked in to make sure they could go wander around for awhile, and then went and spent their money on rides and games. The only thing they came home with was a stuffed dog one of the boys won and decided to give to Caleb's buddy's 2 year old brother. Power went off a few more times (once while they were on a ride) but they said they had fun and saw quite a few of their friends, including the little girl who has a crush on Caleb and I'm pretty sure he has a crush on her! They called around 10:30 said they'd be home in half an hour and I said call buddy's mom, tell her I'll pick them up cuz buddy is spending the night here and I don't have to get a toddler out of bed, lol. And that was the one and only problem for them. When they came out of the fair, they waited up by the front gate. The only place I could pick them up though was a drop off/pick off lot a ways away. I was on the cell directing them towards Dakota and her friend who'd run up to get them and they kept saying we're walking, we're walking...still don't see them. Took me about six minutes to figure out they were walking in the opposite direction, LOL! But, the girls eventually found them and walked them back to the car and now all the kidlets are sound asleep...the boys were exhausted!

RN Yank, I'm always overdressed when we go to LA. RN Bee, I'm thinking if I have to let Caleb test out his wings in a big place with just a friend the fair is a great place for it. That place is swarming with cops and security, no real chance for big trouble (not that I'd expect that from Caleb.) My friends and I used to hang around the fair alone too and it was always the highlight of summer for us (most of us didn't get to go on big family vacations.) The big difference was back then, you knew everyone and even being alone...there was someone watching out for you. The big plus...he now understands how expensive the fair is, lol. The boys decided to skip getting something to eat (they did get drinks) since they'd both eaten dinner and knew they'd be home in a few hours for snacks. They also skipped souvenirs and just spent money on rides and games. When I picked them up he asked if we were going Thursday night (it's free and I'm cheap, lol.) He said, we can skip the rides. I said great! That was in the plan though...plenty to do without wasting money on the tilt a puke.

RN I just got home from the hospital. I was there all day yesterday and last night and released at noon today. Had a flare up of diverticulitis. Its very painful but once they get the antibiotic IV going it doesn't last long plus they give good pain shots. I slept almost the whole time. Its good to be home, though.

RN Wargod, I usually am either over- or just-about-right-dressed. However, in this case, I took "casual home barbecue" sorta literally and didn't realize I was supposed to be sporting a pushup bra, spangly clothing and stiletto heels! LA, LA, LA. And RN I'm sorry to hear that Twinkie had to go to the hospital, but happy that she's home. Feel better!

RN, hope that you continue to feel better Twinkie! RN, I'm going to start working on finishing up some things for my classroom. Institute day is tomorrow. The students come for an hour on Tuesday. I have my class list, but always hesitate to start writing students' names on everything nowadays because we always get the strict warning of "Lists are subject to change" every year now. That's due to the high mobility rate for the most part. Also, many parents don't even register their children until after the school year has begun. It used to be so nice to have everything labelled ahead of time, even their names on the desks, so that students really felt they belonged in "their classroom" from the minute they walked in the door. I feel that's important in bonding process. Currently I only have 23 names on my list. Boy, I would kiss the ground there (laying a Kleenex down first of course-LOL)if my class stays at that number this year!! Highly unlikely though.

RN Yankee I bet every other woman there was wishing they were as comfortable as you were. RN Twinkie is getting my best wishes for continued recovery. RN Just tossed in the last of our camping laundry and took a quick bath... feeling like I have completely arrived back in civilization. LOL

RN Thanks so much, everyone. I seem to be doing a lot of sleeping so I guess that's what my body needs now to keep healing. I'm faithfully taking all the pills they gave me so that might be contributing to the sleepiness also. Back to bed now. Thanks again.
