Long Day

Left home at 10am this morning.

Visited mom - who was in a good mood and happy to see us. She repeated the same story over and over, but that's not unusual for this stage of her dementia. Thank goodness she still knows who we are. She may get our names confused, but she knows us.

Headed out to Suzuki to look for a new car. Brandon had a great car-buying experience there the first of July, and bought his first brand new car all on his own - with no co-signers. Three and a half hours after arriving, we left with a brand new 2012 Suzuki SX4 - Crimson Red.

I was getting pretty desperate for a car. My Saturn was getting more and more unreliable. We haven't sold it yet. I think we'll keep it for Kaitlin to drive when she can so she doesn't have to drive her truck and spend so much on gas. I do know I'm not putting any more money in it.

Had my birthday dinner at Abuelo's after we left Suzuki. Brandon graciously bought our dinner for my birthday, even though he already bought me a Blu-Ray player. What a great kid!

Corby & Brandon left Abuelo's and headed to the Thunder hockey game, while Kaitlin and I headed home to relax after a hectic, busy day!

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...
