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.

What's Good

Here's what's good right now: 1. Corby's OKAY after an accident at work today! He was on the forklift pulling onto a truck when the truck driver pulled away from the dock apparently to reallign himself (WHAT AN IDIOT DRIVER!!!) and he fell off the dock. Thank goodness there is a roll-bar on those forklifts. He has a headache and will probably be stiff tomorrow, but says he is okay. They sent him for a drug test. It's their policy if someone has an accident at work. 2. Feeling much better. I'm about 75% well now. Still have a cough and some sinus issues, but I think I'll survive. 3. Spending today with Kaleb & Kaitlin. 4. Having such good kids. Leeker's just called Kaitlin to see if she'd work longer hours today. They have a lot of employees out sick. She was supposed to work 4-8, but volunteered to work 2-9. Here's a pat on the back hon! 5. Enjoying some Josh Groban music. 6. Cleaning out my file cabinet and getting ready for 2008. I know, I...
