Catching Up

So I guess I need to catch up on a whole week. I hate being sick -it sucks and I get cranky lol. I spent most of the week babying myself so I wouldn't get any worse. Got a phone call from my friend Angie. I always love hearing from her, we've been friends since we were 8 or 9 years old and lived around the corner from each other until I moved away from home when I was 16. It's funny how we've kept in touch all these years, sometimes we don't talk for months and have even gone years but we always seem to find one another again. We were both pregnant at the same time and our daughters are only a month apart in age. I can't wait to move back there so that I can see her more often.

Katie didn't end up going to New York, Potsie's aunt passed away a day before they were going to leave. I'm not sure why they were going in the first place as the aunt in question was in a coma and wouldn't have even known they were there. Maybe I don't get it because I have so few relatives, almost all of my extended family (2nd cousins, great uncles etc) still live in Scotland so I don't get to see them much.

While I wasn't feelin too hot, I was surfin the net and I came across a group that is tracing the origins of my family(maiden) name. It's kind of cool actually, they are going to do DNA testing to see how everyone is related. These people are serious geneology folks, they are tracing stuff back to the 1700's so far - hell, I'm lucky I've traced anything to the late 1890's lol.

Jamie has been a freakin doorknob again. Friday he came home from school, dropped his stuff in the door and buggered off. He strolled back in at MIDNIGHT! The deal we had when he moved back in was 10 o'clock no ifs ands or buts. Not only was he late, I'm totally convinced that he was high as a kite. So I tell him - grounded , seems like a reasonable resonponse doesn't it? He just shrugs and drags him ass up the stairs ( it wasn't booze - I have a nose like a bloodhound for drink - ask my ex's lol). Soooooo 12:30 my phone rings, and I'm thinking OMG who died? It's Tonya's mother ( Jamie' s little g/f is Tonya). She wants to know if Jamie is home because Tonya isn't home yet and they are freaking - seems they have been out looking for her since 11. I told her I would ask Jamie and call her back, I shake him awake with great difficulty and all he says is "She should be home, she was walking home". Then he rolled over and went back to sleep! Selfish little prick wasn't the least bit worried that his g/f wasn't home and it was the middle of the night. I called her mom and told her where they were hanging around and if she wasn't home in half an hour to call me back. One o'clock the phone rings again. Tonya's mom again, she still isn't home. BT and I got in the car and start looking for her, about 1:20 we are driving past her house and there she is walking up the driveway. So we pull into the driveway and I get out and start to talk to her. At that point, her parents come out and Tonya goes in. What a wonderful way to meet her parents, I mean I've talked to them on the phone but never in person. Grand, just grand. Very nice people that I like very much and this is the first time we've actually been able to compare notes on our monsters. It's kind of scary just how alike Jamie and Tonya are but at least now her mom and I have the beginnings of good contact becaues it doesn't look like the relationship is going to end anytime soon. *sigh* BT keeps asking if he can "kill Jamie just a little" lol.

The only other interesting thing to happen is that I'm going to be in a "focus group" tomorrow. It's probably going to be about politics but hey what the hell, they are going to pay me $75 to sit there for an hour and a half and talk lol. I think I can do that.
