Back from Kansas City

Can you believe I forgot to take my camera to Kansas City? Oh well, it's not like I haven't been there dozen's of times! We got the boys to the Rockfest concert about 10:45am. They got to share the experience with 50,000 folks. They were offered pills, weed and beer by 1pm. Thank goodness I have smart teenagers who don't partake of such offerings. When Kaitlin texted them about 1, Brandon said they were enjoying watching boobs and beer drinkers. Yeah, I said they were smart teenagers, I didn't say they were blind! They saw people getting sick, people passing out, and a some people actually enjoying the concerts. Kaitlin and I spent the day shopping, and we didn't spend very much money at all. The most we spent was at Bath & Body Works at Oak Park Mall. They were having a great clearance sale and we stocked up on lotions and hand soap. We ate dinner at Macaroni Grill. YUM! Kaitlin swam for a while in the hotel pool while I dangled my feet in the hot tub. We went back and picked the boys up around 9:30, and after stopping to get them some dinner, were back at the hotel by around 11pm. GREAT fun!
I guess we missed the excitement at mom's nursing home yesterday morning. They had a deer jump through one of the resident's windows and run up and down the hall. They finally got their front doors open and the deer ran out. It was subsequently run over by a car and had to be euthanized. No one was injured, but it sure caused a lot of excitement.

Corby did the rest of the laundry for me this weekend, as well as cleaning the kitchen and bathroom. What a guy! Thanks hon!

Doh?!? A deer. A female deer! I'm glad no one was hurt, but the poor deer. Crazy! Glad you're back safely from the sex, drugs and rock 'n roll mecca that is Kansas City!

Holy crap. Who said nursing home living offered no excitement?
Glad everyone had a good time.

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
