We had the storm last night too (in Western Ohio)! Mom and I were driving home from the movies. We ended up sitting on the side of the road for a little while until the worst of it passed.

DramaboysMom - I have a friend that was at the Fair when the collapse happened.  He had video on his phone.  Pretty scary for all, I'm sure!  Can't imagine!  The storm was pretty bad where we live just southwest of Ft. Wayne.

Was at Lucas Oil Stadium watching the Drum Corp International Finals last night about 4 miles from the Indiana State Fair stage collapse.  At the end of intermission it was announced that there were several thunderstorms in the area with damaging winds and hail.  We were all advised to stay away from all window ( of which there are many).  Thoughts and prayers to the families involved.  

On a good note, DCI Finals were fantastic. Congrats to the Cadets of Allentown PA for the win, All  corps were fantastic ( Phantom Regiment, was spectacular, as were the Cavaliers, both from Illinois)  Amazing kids, amazing talent!

Kat- Don't worry too much about your son. :) I'm glad he had a good birthday. Was probably super good for him to just forget everything for the weekend. 

Aaron's 21st birthday was almost the death of us. It was a Wednesday and he was in A school. And the class alcoholic (literally. He showed up to take the E5 exam drunk and was kicked out of the program) took him out for his birthday. I basically begged him to wait until Friday since he had a huge test the next day. But nope. Went out and got so drunk his buddies had to carry him back to his room. I worry a lot like you moms do-- Sometimes I have to seriously watch my nagging. At least he passed his test the next day?

With son home for his 10-day leave after A school, I'm back to staying up and waiting for him to come home safe and sound.  While he was in GC, at least I knew he wasn't driving around LA in the middle of the night.  Oi!

Vent all you want Emily.  I just don't get some people.  They have to know you can't leave a message like that and not expect to make him panic a bit. Then to leave him hanging.  What are they thinking?  UGH.

I heard on the news today something about a boy getting a bunch of fingers cut off when he reached under a lawn mower, so you had me worried there for a minute.

My dumb brother actually lost part of a finger that way.  the mower got clogged and he reached in and lost part of a finger, down to the first joint.  and he was in his 20's when it happened.

 

Well, just found out my son is safe and sound in his room after a couple of days of celebrating his 21st birthday.  yeah.  Last night he did a little too much so was much smarter today.  One of the married guys had a bbq at his house for him, and his wife even made him a cake.  about 30 people came, so they had a good time.  He said he was tired and didn't want to go too far like last night, so left early and one of his friends drove him back to his room.  yeah.  i'm glad.  I was worried all last night about the other guys challenging him or pushing him to do more.  Evidently they did a bit because he doesn't remember much.  But he's safe now, so that is good.  Maybe it will be out of his system for a bit.  ah, the rights of passage for a 21 year old.  I do remember it well, but I wasn't in Nuke school and needing to be at the top of my game.

Colleen- Have her search Facebook. And you can always send her my way if you'd like. :) I have a friend from Buckeye Girls State that went through BMT with her boyfriend. 

Thanks for all the advice! And Kat, I will be sure to call my mom a lot. :) More than the boys seem to. haha.

I do have to admit I was pretty upset with Aaron's family today. He came home from work (at 7am) to a text that said his brother was in an accident and was in surgery. That's it. He tried calling everyone in his family and not a single person answered their phone. He managed to find out it was a lawn mower accident before falling asleep. Then at about 4 this afternoon he called his mom and all she told him was she would let him know... Didn't even tell him how serious it was!! Turns out, it's nothing too bad. He slipped and hurt his big toe when his foot went under the mower. But the way that his family handled the situation made me very upset. If something serious ever happens, I would sure hope that they would take more of an initiative to get him the information. Ugh. Sorry, had to vent on that one.

You are a good mom Sherri.

so, Sarah is flying out on Monday morning, and on Tuesday evening her and my son will be married. Kinda bittersweet for me, since it'll just be the two of them, but I'm a big gilr and can handle it.  THey are so young, so I asked her if she had flowers...I said even if it's just you and him you need a little bouquet.  She's allergic to real flowers, so I went out and looked, she is using navy blue and silver in her real wedding, found some very light pink roses in a bundle--premade for a bouquet, and un-done them and added these sprays of navy flowers in. 

 

Also, I figured she didn't have clothes (lingerie) for the wedding night, AND as MUCH AS IT KILLED me to do so, I bought her a cute little nightie.  (nothing slutty, etc, just a cute satiny nightie).  I was right, she hadn't thought of that either.  I figured they needed something special since it was just the two of them and no family or wedding, I thought it would be something special.  I'll just have to get over that night!  haha....anyway, I'll keep you all informed. 

 

Oh, Michael went to get fingerprinted and they didn't have fingerprint paper...and they don't know when they may get it.  Another delay!!!!
