The Leaky Waterbed...

(not our actual 21 year old waterbed)

I woke up at 1am this morning, and my whole left side was wet. Our waterbed had sprung a leak! I hopped up right away to make sure it wasn't leaking through the floor into the basement (that happened at our old house!). Fortunately, the leak was on the top part of the mattress, actually in a spot that had been patched once before. This is only our 3rd leak in almost 21 years - with the same mattress - so I can't complain. However, finding a comfy place to sleep was a problem! We have a couch and love seat in the living room and a couch and loveseat in the basement. Corby slept on the couch upstairs. I started out on the floor, but that wasn't comfy, so I went downstairs, tried sleeping on the couch (uncomfy too!) and ended up sleeping in the recliner. Looks like one more night without the waterbed though. After repairing the patch you have to wait 24 hours. BUMMER!

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...
