Isn't that the truth Tabby?! I'm so sorry that something like this had to happen to your son. Thank goodness, he's not hurt.

Thanks Pamy.

Tabby, parents will always be parents to their kids, no matter how old the kids are. Please let me know how things are going, and how I can help.

update: geico called son and told him about calling for a tow truck at 4:00 a.m. i will be up to call son! however, his cell phone is almost out of charge and i told him to charge it...watch him not turn it back on.
okay, i have to assume he may do the right things, and have his phone on and charged and actually take care of having the car towed to el monte... and get back to school in time for his 10:00 a.m. class, 223 miles away from where he is!

the sorta funny thing is, son always gets 'caught'. he stole a chicken nugget as a freshman and got caught and suspended for 3 days. he once threw one egg at a house, missed, but still got caught.... we never said he couldn't leave for a weekend and go somewhere, but we have always said we need to know where he is. i will say i was shocked to hear "i'm in los angeles" when i asked where the accident occured. i was sure he'd name some street in san luis obispo! little s#it! busted yet again!

latest: friend needs new tires before he can take a car to school. so i will call ds at 5:50 for him to call tow truck to have it there by 6:50... and then he and friend will be at a tire place at 7:30 a.m., when it opens,to get tires. no way will son make his 10:00 a.m. class :-)

i am feeling a lot better about the 'no one hurt' part, but still upset that we didn't even know son was away from school for the weekend! too bad cell phones don't show the city you are calling from!

turns out a dorm friend has a friend who is a girl, and ds started to instant message her--a whole group of kids instant message each other late evenings. this gal used to call him every night for an hour when he was home for spring break--imagine her parents when they got the cell phone bill--they don't have free long distance!


anyway, ds's friend wanted to go home for a weekend, but had no car, so ds drove him/ went down to meet the girl friend. rut roh...ds is growing up!

i have no idea how we will get the car back home if it can even be repaired...but then i think this is nothing on the grand scheme of things: i have a friend whose son died when his backhoe went off a cliff last thursday as he graded a road, so we will get past this shortly, while her pain will last probably forever.

(((weinerdaddykins)))) - she'll be down your way in about 6 hours. i've sent her away to camp, but i still get all weepy about it. she's my baby you know.

i just hope all tvch'ers will just say a little "watch over holly" prayer or send good thoughts her way, that she'll be okay while she's out of my care. thanks! i love all of you.

Hey Landi, I understand, that's why I got involved as a chaperone for my kids when they went on music trips, I took over trip planning and was always a chaperone, lot of work but I was always close by when they needed me and dh was there for the other kids.

Right now, my boy lost his tux. Some other person bid on it, but did the max bid thing and jacked it really high. Looks like it's a seller too. grrrr

(((((((Landi)))))))))

Right now I am saying a "watch over Holly" prayer. Landi, she'll be home before you know it, anxious to share all the wonders that come from being 14, trusted by your parent, and on an exciting trip with friends.

Thinking of you.

Right now I'm also saying a "watch over Holly" prayer and a "let landi be at peace" prayer too. It's hard to let our babies go and grow up. I have a feeling that Holly will be having a wonderful time and making a mark in her young life with this great experience!! Yay Holly!!

...and I betcha, they'll celebrate her birthday somehow, someway...so please let us know!

right now, you go, holly! i'll see your mama on friday and give her a holly hug...

the bug was towed at 6:30 this morning from my son's friend's driveway in la puente. son's friend's parents found out what 4 tires, insuring an 18-year-old boy and paying for a college parking permit cost and they are driving the boys back to school this morning. looks like ds will only miss one class.

i am guessing geico will call us after an appraiser sees the car at the el monte body shop.
i don't want them to total the car, but it will be a problem to pick it up when it's ready. i can't drive 2 vehicles at one time! and they probably aren't open weekends, either.
i didn't sleep much last night, but i was afraid to try and sleep in this morning because i have to go to work at 11:00.
i'm going to have to sell things on eBay to pay our insurance increase :-)

Right now I am watching quite the scene out the window next to my computer screen. I've called the police but they haven't arrived yet. A woman is beating the crap out of her husband in the driveway of the house behind ours.

I keep watching to see if he raises his hand to her but so far he's only turned his back when her punches and slaps get really flying.

OMG! That is horrendous Secret!

Hope they take the wife away...

They both need to get counselling or split up.

Right now I'm reminded that real life is nothing like watching the tv show "COPS". The police arrived, one came to talk to me, everything is quiet, the police are gone and I don't have a clue as to how it was resolved.

I know it's not my business but I can't help but wonder what happened.

Secretsmile, it's only natural to be curious about what happened. I'm curious too!

Landi, so glad you got to talk to Holly, and she got the comfort of talking to her mom. Hugs to both of you. {{{Landi and Holly}}}

Tabby, I'm glad it's all working out and your son has a way home. Another life lesson learned for him, I think. Ah to be a teenager again! I don't really want to be a teenager again, but I sure remember how it felt.

Right now I'd like to ask for a "private prayer" for someone on this board. I had some really bad dreams last night, and have felt so sad this morning that I couldn't get on the computer. I just didn't want to hear the bad news. No bad news as of 12:45pm, so I'm trying to get the sad mood away with the thought that no news is good news.

Right now, my other 3 cats have all decided to fight with each other. They never do this but they are going crazy! I hope this doesn't mean we are going to have an earthquake or something!

Serate, I'm praying and hoping you just had a bad dream.

serate, (((((special prayers and thoughts)))))

well, the insurance adjuster called and car was not where it was supposed to be LOL if the tow truck loses my car, does the accident not 'count'?! :-)

the downstairs toilet overflowed and i had to use all the big bath towels i just had just taken out of the dryer to mop up! water is still sitting at rim level. i am leaving home. i will either hit some golf balls before my shift or walk part of the course before it gets hot!

i'm off like a dirty shirt.

and i hope serate's dream didn't involve me. i've had enough problems lately!! but just in case, {{{{{{{{{tabby}}}}}}}}}}} :-)

but i do know the type of dream. and you can't shake the 'cloud' or bad feeling for days sometimes. fortunately, most of the time, they are just dreams!

Right now, I'm wishing I could go and give everyone special hugs, but since I can't:

Mamie, our three cats were going ape too; DH asked me if we had a tremor here, but I didn't feel anything and I normally do.

Special prayer said--hope whomever it is is fine.

Tabby: hope they find the car. Fingers crossed.

Still thinking about walking to the dentist office today. I'm scared though. Which is dumb, I know, since all I am doing is turning over the paperwork, but...I'll probably wait until tomorrow and set the alarm to be ready to leave by 7:30. Then I'll get to the dentist's office when they open and can be back home by 8:30--well before it gets too warm. It's already 81 degrees outside.
