Glad she had a safe prom night, and I'm sure there was some politics behind her

engagement at the prom, but that's OK. I can imagine you're hoping for a long

engagement.

Good to hear about your call to your mom and that your brother will finally be

able to move. Sounds like some nice changes ahead for you.

Yeah, I finally crashed around 3am. I slept until 8am when my phone started

ringing again from the telemarketers. Oh that just makes me so mad. I'm even

on the do not call list and they still get me.

She survived the night safely. Her school is very small and they actually

have a police officer come do a breathalizer at the door for them to get in. I

don't know about the movie. But they do show them those at other times like in

health class, driver's ed, DARE classes, etc. Her bf asked her to marry him at

the prom. Of course I'm biting my lip very hard but my daughter assures me she

wants to finish college before she gets married. So its a long engagement.

Mostly I think this was a stunt to upstage the prom.

Long story. Typical teen games, my daughter got outplayed and boosted from

her prom queen position; on a screw up by the administration who can't seem to

add properly. You know, the mom a few years ago would have gone down there and

raised hell to make everything right and fair. But she didn't want me to and

the mom today has figured out the world of today screws over you all the time,

and if she can get past it alright, and finds a way to upstage the prom queen on

prom night to boot; so be it. Yeah, I know, shame on me; but I got too much

scare tissue to be sunny. Besides, I didn't know they were going to do this,

but I'm not sorry they did.

Ok so I hope its a long engagement. Plus I know he wants to be engaged. He's

also going back to school himself. She just wants to be able to make it on her

own before she gets married. Something I tried to encourage her to do; not get

married and be dependent on someone to survive.

And my doggies survived their morning out - for those of you around long

enough it was Mother's Day last year that we lost our Boxer puppy Krash, and

never found him again.

Oh and I made the call to my mom last night. She's an insomniac like I am and

it was easier then. It's always easier to talk to her then; she seems more

relaxed and my brother and dad are asleep and not bothering her. So it went ok.

Oh and my brother called today and said they've got the first 'chunk of money'

to make their move out here!! Whoohooo!! So they'll be out in 2 weeks to get

started looking for a place to live, etc. Gosh it will so be nice to have

someone around. Not 24/7; we're both very independent, but it will be nice to

have someone at times. Besides, he's a biker!!
