We went to the fair again tonite. DD was riding the rides and I had to leave. I can't handle her riding rides alone. I worry she'll climb out of the ride and break her leg and then be deformed because her growth plate got damaged. Apparently she had a ball. DH and his mom stayed with her. DH says I'm too overprotective.
Oh, and tomorrow is my last day of work!
Congrats on the last day of work!
And Nanu...you're overprotective? Yep, cause you're the MOM!! It is hard to let them do things that could hurt them. Always will be. You may have missed my near nervous breakdown after DS14 broke his arm playing Lacrosse and needed several surgeries...then he wanted to play again!
Lynn had the same issues after her DS18s terrible accident. And letting my 16 year old drive alone for the first time.
It's our job to keep them safe and to let them become independent--the two don't always go together very well!
AND CONGRATS ON YOUR LAST DAY!!
My back is sore below my shoulders from the stair express, but I'll survive.
That may be a little worse this morning. Say it after me....ADVIL!
I just finished watching Wild Hogs. I thought it was pretty funny and got a huge kick out of the credits.
Glad you enjoyed it too!
Had to post another because my post count was 8,666...

Good Morning! 
And today I was up normal time. But we left our laptop at DS's (we're in a hotel). 
So I'm in the lobby.
Today will be busy. WE found out having the furniture co. take apart that sofa will be $275. Uhhh...I think not. For that, we'll try it ourselves, and if we can't...oh well. We need to get DS's computer all set up in his room...without that sofa in there!
One thing went wrong so far...we had a wall and doors put up, and Home Depot ordered the wrong doors. So we have to straighten that out today, too.
Always something isn't there!
Hopefully Home Depot will be responsive.
There's always the issue of shoving the sofa out the window!!
Funny story, remember the friends whose home we visited in Grayton Beach? It was a three story (nothing really ON the first story) home, and the living area is on the top floor--they do that often near the coast because the view is better. But the stairways are in the middle of the house and fairly narrow. Rather than move the sofas, TV & armoire, big dining table, etc. up two flights of stairs, they got ahold of some sort of lift truck, lifted the stuff to the third level, and moved it in through the patio doors!
I would have had to leave the house while all of that was going on, I'm afraid!
Aaaaww...hope he wasn't too scared to sit on your hand. I hate when birds fly into the windows...and with our sunroom, there's a LOT of glass!
Every once in awhile we find one that didn't know our window was a window...but usually there is no point picking them up...
It's funny that you mention her growth plate. When my DD was 13yr old she was cross country skiing at her high school when she fell and broke her growth plate. She had to be carried out of the woods. I was in Boston for work and received that phone call...
She had surgery to put a screw in to hold it together and then after several months she had the surgery to remove the screw, after it healed.
And CONGRATS on the last day of work!
That's the worst feeling! I remember when "broken arm boy" was a toddler and fell and needed stitches. I was in a meeting at work and nobody could find me!
Thanks. It's sort of problem solving.
I like problem solving...but usually not this physical. Good thing is...there's 4 people of the MALE variety.
Ooooo! Lots of testosterone! It could take all day for them to agree on anything!
Let's just say that I explained to him that one does not roast a turkey when it's in the 80's outside and that one should not expect a frozen turkey to thaw in an hour or two...
..It just drives me 
that we as a country offer aid to other countries and we don't even take care of the precious lives we have here. 
Bye! I have to go too...gotta go over to DS's so I'm there by 8.
