My day started with the tour of "the factory". Not so good memories from the past and not warm fuzzy feelings for the future. But what is one to do. I then came home and started to create, using my artsy crafty skills. It helped to pull me out of the OMG reality fog I started my day in. I created a head out of chicken wire and paper. Its for the sophomore float for homecoming. I also made a black and red tornado but they said the class already had made one and wasn't sure if they could use it. Oh well I will take it to the game if they don't .

Every year Sara's class comes up with these outrageous ideas which wouldn't be half bad if they didn't start building the float only 4 days before the parade. And being the perfectionist that she is she has to do it big and fabulous nothing less. So this year it is Wizard of Oz and the floating head of the fake wizard she has taken on. Yea right when and how between school and swimming? So I built it she painted it. It was fabulous of course. This all happened before her swim meet and after school. Then onto working on the float and the big bond fire and dance. I will post pictures of the finished product hopefully tomorrow night.

Home finally at 10:30pm wet and cold I find out that the college boy is smashed off his ass and its Thursday. He promised to keep the drinking only on the weekend. He broke that promise tonight. We will be having a discussion when I pick him up tomorrow to bring him home for homecoming.

I know some of it is the rejection he is feeling with the swim team and that makes me want to ream that coach even more. You couldn't ask for a more dedicated team member than Ian. He is a great moral booster and just a great person to have on your team. Everybody keeps telling me welcome to college sports etc. No I don't agree. He didn't give Ian a fair chance to prove himself. Even a new job generally gives you 2 weeks to prove yourself before second guessing a decision unless your a total screw up.

I got a call from my old boss yesterday because she was looking for something and was wondering if I knew where it was. I asked about the position and if she had filled it yet and she hasn't. I may beg for that spot back if I can get it beats the factory and at least its some money coming in on a consistent basis. I don't think I can handle the stress anymore. I hate money more and more each day the more and more I don't have it.

My kids are all some what safe and sound tonight. Everybody still loves me and I get to bring my boy home for the weekend tomorrow. Its a busy fun filled weekend with lots of events going on for homecoming. Parade tomorrow night and football game after. Saturday starts with Megan's football game and she is very excited because big brother will be home to watch it. Then a dance Saturday night which I was asked if I could help chaperon. My kids are mad and threatening to suffocate me in my sleep if I do it. Oh well they will just have to suck it up.

Okay its is time to hit the sack it has been a roller coaster of a day and my pillow is calling my name can you hear it.......Suzy Suzy Suzy zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
