Tuesday!

So far so good, hopefully the weather will stay a little dry for a while in the state of New Jersey, I know this is only temporary but I will take it LOL.  I started reading the book everyone is talking about, you know what its call  Fifty Shades of Grey, only on the sixth chapter of first book so I have not got to the heated stuff yet! LOL Everyone is talking about it so I thought I have to see what this is all about so I jumped on the band wagon! Friend all tell me you have to read it!! I will fill you in as I go, at least what is appropriate to say on my blog! A little embarrassed that I am telling you all this but what the heck, every other women I know can not seem to put the book down. Later all!

Great time!

Prom went off without a hitch and Robbie had a great time!  Him and his date looked great and guess what no rain for the spotlight showcase the kids get to have!  We jumped from one house to another house to take pictures than we made it in record time to get to the showcase and be there waiting when all the kids pulled up in Limos, Mercedes and what ever other nice car they could find and all of them were dress to the nines and looked great! Some of the gowns the girls wore were just absolutely beautiful! Had a great weekend with family and friends, but what is the old saying went by way to soon, for sure. Pics to follow if I could just get my son to do it for me!!  I really have to learn to put the pictures up by myself. You would really get sick of looking at me than!  LOL

Prom Pictures with us!!

At least to me it is, if you see my blog you will know my son's prom is tonight, he said to me and his dad, mom you guys have to dress up so we could take pictures. So here I am a little dressed up with shoes on that I would love to throw across a room my feet hurt so bad. He also tells his father to not wear his work boots.   Robbie in case you do not know this, we are not the ones that are going to the prom, we are spectators, and as for the pictures half shots will be okay!  Only kidding what ever he wants, he will get, this is his day and getting a little dressed up and him wanting us to all take pictures with him is so sweet!

Rob's Prom Friday!!

Making all my check marks  Tuxedo, flowers, shoe's shine, hair cut, camera ready, limo, date, I think that's all folks. lol now for him to go have a good time and be safe.  The drinking is not an issue because he is not big on drinking, I know what your thinking, boy this women is stupid!  Guess what no, I'm not. Drinking is a big part of family get together and my son has all the options in the world to do so at these parties, but he does not! He will take a wine cooler maybe one or two and that's it. I am blessed, and I know it!  To all the prom kids and graduation kids, be safe have fun but always remember you have a long life ahead of you, think before you do is my motto.  I have told Robbie that for years and I truly believed he listen!!!

Drinking and Driving!

My son calls me just a while ago and tells me, mom this women was in school and told us the story of her son getting killed while a passenger in a car!  A drunk driver hit into the back of the car he was in and some of the people in the car got out but he was trapped and 90% of his body was burned, he died that day! He was only 16yrs old at the time of the accident, I believe he said it happened in 1999. She proceeded in telling them that she wanted to see her son and told the class that his nose was burnt off and all his skin was burnt and his hand were gone and so much more.  He said she showed videos of him along with pictures and began to cry.  She goes around to schools and talks about what drinking and driving can do to people and their families.  I thank her very much, it was very obvious this affected my son the way it was meant to, there are times with young people that the only time they talk to adults is when they want money or they are in the mood to do so. He called me and said mom, I could not help but cry with her, he listen and listen hard! I thank this women so so much for continuing to tell her story of what happen to her son!  With each and every time she tells her story the pain is relived all over again for her!  I wish I could tell her that as a mom I thank her from the bottom of my heart! She is making a difference, I know because she did with my son!

Back to UCC !

That means back to the college with my son right after work today!  I told him once you retake test go to counselor and than the finance dept. and set everything up, well guess what he did not, I said why Rob he said lines were to long.  I want to strangle him because now I have to go with him to get it done!!  I love him to death but sometimes, just sometimes I would like to ring his neck. LOL  At least I could have a sense of humor about it, I figure if I didn't I would only be hurting myself in the long run!  It really would not be worth having a heart attack about it, next best thing is to just go along with the flow!!! Fax proof to College about check so the women is working on it! Once all is done, my life as I once knew will be back to normal!!  Wait a minute, what am I saying my life has never been normal!!!

Short week!!

Thank you Lord!, but still have stress, why do I have stress, I will tell you why, the college my son is going to does not have the scholarship money from the person who issued it. the school did get it and cash it and claim they send it back,but it was cashed which means that they, send there own check back! Now it is a case of a missing check and a  back and forth game between school and the person who issued the scholarship and me the in between the both!!  Whew, that was a long sentence need to take a deep breath on that one, for sure. In the long run of things just a bunch of aggravation to get this mistake fixed.  Do I need this heck no! Problems just seem to find a way to my doorstep, that's for sure!!!
