Dec 09 PTR The Molecular change is in full swing. pg40 the pink puppy

Gross huh? She told the Dr. she wants to return it to it's maker, I assumed she meant my mother, Mom had hers removed a few years ago, if Bo were to give hers to Mom then Mom would have a pair of uteruses and could wear them as shoes. But Bo actually meant return it to her maker as in God.

LOL are you going to have a uterus funeral? Have you ever seen Fried Green Tomatoes? There's a kid that looses his arm in an accident and they have a funeral for it. I thought it was classic, there was a headstone and everything. It said, "Buddy's arm." Bo can have it buried in a lovely spot, and since Kent works in stone he can make a headstone that says "Bo's Uterus, Served it's purpose, not so sad to see it go."

I have officially started packing for Disney, I got out my big suitcase and my carryon suitcase, I have packed as much as I can for now. Some things I will need to wear before then but for the most part I am halfway done, I iron everything before I pack it, I have 2 pair of capris, 2 pair of shorts and 1 jean skirt, 6 T-shirts and a short sleeve zipper hoodie. I will add 3 pair of blue jeans, a pair of khaki's another hoodie and a couple of dress shirts later. I also packed my new jammies, I am a hot sleeper, so I only packed the bottoms for the jammies and T-shirts instead of the long sleeve flannel tops that go with it. I want to buy new socks for the trip. I really am trying to pack light.

YAY packing!!! This weekend I plan to get all my Disney shirts together and our toiletries. I've saved all out travel stuff from past trips so I might as well get it all together in one organized heap. I wasn't planning on actually putting things into my suitcase until after Thanksgiving. I have a boat load of people coming and really there is no good place to put a suitcase that would be out of the way. Plus my BIL's kids are monsters.

I was thinking on bringing my portable DVD player so I can hook it up to the resort T.V. and we can watch Christmas movies, but then I think are we really going to waste time watching T.V.? should I bring it? What do you all think?

Honestly, you probably won't even have time to enjoy it except at night and at that point you'll probably be so tired you'll just pass out. Plus it's just something else to pack and worry about.

I plan to go this weekend and deposit all my change into my Disney account. I have been adding up in my mind how much I will have when I go and I think I will be set, There's my change I have saved, my Disney account that I add to every 2 weeks, Kent is hooking me up with a nice set of fundage and my mom is going to give me birthday and Christmas money plus my Disney gift card on my birthday. I won't have to worry about funds and I will still have money left for Christmas. Being out of work I was starting to sweat the dollar amount that I was going to have, yea I get workmans comp, but not what I was making at work. So this is a relief. I can actually stop saving for Disney as of right now and start focusing on christmas.

That's such a wonderful feeling. Our Disney money and Christmas money are combined. We'll be doing our shopping down there. I have two more deposits into our savings scheduled, which will cover Disney shopping for us and Christmas, plus there will be left over which will cover Christmas Eve cooking and all that jazz.

So exciting!!! Tuesday is 30 days!!!!!!!!!

I don't even have words... all I can do is:

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

I go away for a bit and look what I miss!

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I would like to sign up for the surgery also! LOL

 

[DONTMINDME]

Tell Kent it's a masterpiece I absolutely love hand made furniture and lodge style is the best. The stone work around the stove is beautiful too. I am thinking of doing one wall in the livingroom where the fireplace is in stone. Do you think he'd come all the way to maryland and do some great work for me. I know it's almost hunting season. I had to catch up I been sick but the WHAT TO DO WITH THE UTERUS made me perk right up FUNNY in a kinda disgusting way but I love the Mickey ears hat idea. Saves you a little money too. I just got my MICKEY MAIL yeah!!!!!

Having a funeral for the uterus is not a bad idea, Bo oves any excuse to make up a crap load of food and have people over. She would probably make up cute invitations, something she might have seen on Martha Stewart and invite the whole neighborhood.

I love packing, but only for fun trips, back when I was coaching cheerleading I used tohave to go to clinics and what nots in order to keep my certification and insurance up, they always had gift bags filled with travel size toiletries, I saved tons of them and completely forgot about them until you said something. I dug them out this afternoon and was able to cross alot of stuff off my list.

The only christmas shopping I plan to do at Disney is for myself Nobody in my family cares much for Disney so no need to bring anything back for them. I will bring back chocolate for my kids though.

Tuesday will be one month I can't wait for Wednesday when I can say, "Less then a month till Disney"

I don't even have words... all I can do is:

Bo and I tend to leave people speechless alot., when we were in highschool we took a bus trip, I can't remember to where, but we got so bored, I told Bo I hate buses. She said she hated being bored on buses. I said I hate boring scenery. And then it turned into an I hate session, for an hour we sat there saying, I hate, Trees, I hate carpet, I hate the sky, it just went on and on, we didn't realize that the whole bus was quiet and just listening to us.

I go away for a bit and look what I miss!

Really, you think you missed something

I would like to sign up for the surgery also! LOL

You and me both sister. Twice now I have had my abdomen opened up and my uterus exposed, think the Dr. would remove it for me? He!! no!

Tell Kent it's a masterpiece I absolutely love hand made furniture and lodge style is the best. The stone work around the stove is beautiful too.

Thank you, he is quite talented. Our next project once we have the time and money is to build a stone fireplace in the T.V. room and have the one wall all stone.
He did a stone fireplace for a guy in MD before. Where abouts in MD are ya from?
You got Disney mail? I want Disney mail!!!!

I watched an episode of Roseanne tonight. I haven't watched her in several years. Anywhoo, on this episode they went to Disney World. I was so excited. It got me reved for my trip even more.
I remember the first time I saw this epside, Jimmy was just a baby and I was so jealous that the Conners got to go to Disney and I still had never been. They also included Epcot, Dan wanted a beer and was disapointed that MK didn't serve beer, so he got permission to go to Epcot and basically drank his way through WS. I had been to Epcot though when I was 16, so guess what? You all get a mini TR about that.

I was 16 and living with my aunt and uncle in Cocoa Beach. My Uncle worked for Nasa. The family had discussed going to Disney World, of course back then to me Magic Kingdom was Disney World, and Epcot was something totally separate.

My younger cousin Amy came home from school and said that her class was doing an overnight trip to Disney World as their year end field trip. Then my even younger cousin Ryan got upset, he wanted to go but his class wasn't doing anything like that at all, so my Aunt Judy said she would take Ryan to Disney on that day as well. This ticked off Amy, last thing she wanted was her mother and younger brother showing up on he trip, but Aunt Judy said if she saw Amy at all she would act like she didn't know her.
At this point I am all kinds of excited and ask Aunt Judy if it was ok for me to miss a day of school and go too. I was going to a private christian school at the time, it was the PACE system, you basically work at your own speed, each day we had to fill out our goal card, I had my A privillege which meant once I reached my goal for the day I could leave school as early as 10:00am, so really I wouldn't miss that much school and I could do my PACE work in the car. Aunt Judy agreed to it.
So the next day at school we had our morning service and the head of the school anounced our year end field trip, it was to Boardwalk and Baseball. I was all excited for this trip too until they anounced the day, it was scheduled for the same day as Disney World. I had to make a choice and I chose to go on my field trip with my friends. I had a great time but was still bummed that I missed out on Disney, My Aunt Judy said we would take a family trip over the summer, so all was good with the world again.
I had another Aunt who lived in Ft. Pierce Fl. She wanted me to come visit her for 2 weeks over the summer, I was like OK.
Her and my uncle have their own CPA business, I spent alot of time in their office, she gave me a type writer and I got to work on writing my first novel. serioulsy I did.
Anyway one morning she wakes me up at the butt crack of dawn and tells me to dress comfortable for the day. So I dress as comfortable as any teenager who wants to be in style could dress and we headed out the door, we stopped for breakfast at McD's and then we were on our way, after a bit, (I don't remember the amount of time it took to get there because I slept) we pull into a huge parking lot and I see this great big golf ball. I asked my Aunt if we were going to play miniature golf? I honestly thought that's what it was. She was like, Didn't Aunt Judy tell you where we were taking you while you are visitng us. I told her no. So she filled me in on Epcot. When I found out that it was right next door to Magic Kingdom I was kind of bummed, I would have rather done that, but oh well.
So we get inside and I am seeing teeny boppers everywhere and I think Damn!! how am I going to do this place with my Aunt and Uncle and no other teens to talk to? Don't get me wrong, my Aunt Mikki is a great lady and she really shows an interest in what you have to say, I have always loved that about her, even as a teen she really seemed to care about my thoughts and feelings.
So the first thing we do is get a map and check it out, that's when I discovered, or thought that this is not an imusement park, there are no rollercoasters or thrills here. OMG!!! It's educational blaah!!!! Then my Uncle mentions the 3-D show with Michael Jackson, What? Michael? I can do Michael, (that came out so wrong) Michael? I would love to see Michael. So we head over. I can't remember if it was Captain Eao or Captain Neo, but anyway it was with Michael Jackson and I liked him.
We get in line and it's about a 40 minute wait. No fast passes back then. We finally get up to the doors and are given our groovy glasses, once we are seated I am starting to feel the excitement, but once the show starts I was floored, I had never actually seen a 3-D show before, I reached out and tried to touch things, I was very tempted to try and pinch Michaels behind too.
Once it was over I wanted to go again but Aunt Mikki said there was so much more to see and do and we would come back again.
So we go ride some boat around a greenhouse, I was impressed with the Mickey head shaped tomatos, at one point I remember it got really hot and humid and I wanted off the boat.
After that we went to Ellens Energy thing, only back then it wasn't called Ellen's Energy thing, I was amazed with this ride and couldn't believe how real the dinosours looked. From there we went on Spaceship Earth. We waited a long time for our turn to ride, it wasn't anything like it is now, but at the the end we could choose our form of travel, I think we chose underwater.
Then my Uncle had to make a business call, this was also before the time of cell phones, so he had to go find a payphone. My aunt Mikki had bought a bunch of stuff and went to go find a locker to store it in because soon we would be heading to WS. So I was left alone, the perfect opportunity to go talk to some cute boys.
His name was Jay, he was a surfer. Very tan, very buff, very much a hottie hottie hot hot!!!!! He asked if I had a boyfriend. I said no, not anyone inparticular. I asked if he had a girlfriend, he said no, not anyone inparticular. Then his friend came over, his name was Duffy, he was a true surfer!!! and Very much a hottie hottie hot hot hotter!!!! I wanted to marry Duffy. I find out that he's from Cocoa Beach. I'm thinking "Yes, there is a God and he wants to give me this present." Jay realizes pretty quick that I have dropped him for Duffy, Duffy and I start to head off into the sunset when my Aunt starts yelling for me "Ty, Ty, did you need to go to the little girls room before we head to world showcase.?" Duffy actually said to me, "I didn't know someone could turn that shade of Red."
I told him that I was there with my Aunt and Uncle and it would be rude to ditch them. So Duffy and I exchanged numbers and said we would meet up in Cocoa Beach. And then off to WS I went.
I didn't want my aunt to think that I go picking up random guys, so when she asked about him I kind of misled her to think I already knew him. I said, "Oh, that's Duffy, he's from Cocoa Beach too." and I left it at that.
We started out in Canada, I don't remember any of what we saw until we hit Germany. That's when I got homesick, my mom, Dad Sister and Brother were still living in Germany and I missed them and my little town of Schwabach so much.
sidenote:I was sent to Fl. to live with my Aunt Judy because I had witnessed a horrible crime, the guy saw me right after he had done it, the police didn't catch him but I was terrified he would come find me, I started having night terrors and sleep walking, the Dr's diagnosed me with post tramatic stress disorder, so my parents thought if I left the country I would feel safe and the night terrors would stop, which they did.

Anyway, I started crying cause I was so homesick, I didn't want to cry infront of my Uncle so my Aunt and I walked over to railing by the lake, I was a mess, aunt Mikki left to get me some tissue and who walks up? Yup, Duffy, my eyes are all puffy now so I wouldn't look at him. He tried to make small talk, finally I told him I was just missing my family in Germany, we talked a few minutes then my Aunt came back, Duffy didn't stick around long. My aunt calmed me down and we decided to go get lunch. We ate at some Italian place, I had ravioli and it was so good. We then walked back by Germany but we didn't go into any of the shops.
In Japan I bought an outfit for my little brother, it was all black and had a red and gold embroidered dragon on it.
We went on the boat ride in Mexico, and I know we did Maelstrom, it was after Maelstrom that my Uncle told me I was being followed and they had been following us since we left our meal. I looked back, it was Jay and Duffy. I waved, Jay blew me a kiss. I thought wow, you don't know me well enough to be blowing kisses, Duffy just gave me the peace sign. I giggled, it made my day. My uncle was all, "Are those boys bothering you, do you want me to say something.?" I said no.
We then went back to FW, we did some kind of sea life thing, I think we had to take an elevator down and we just looked at sharks and stuff, it was ok.
When we came back out Duffy and Jay were there, so my Aunt said if I wanted to hang out with them I could but be at Spaceship Earth in 2 hours. I felt wierd going off with these 2 boys that I didn't really know. Jay didn't stay with us too long. So Duffy and I went and got icecream and sat down by the water fountains and just talked about everything, I liked him so much, he wasn't the type of person I would date, I didn't surf, and I didn't like blondes, but he was so cool and so funny. I laughed so much.
we went and rode Spaceship Earth and it was getting close to the time to meet my Aunt and Uncle, so we made plans to get together once I was back in Cocoa.
I shopped a bit with my Aunt and then we all got popcorn and a drink and settled down to wait for Illuminations. I really enjoyed it, I had never in my life seen fireworks as big as that.
As soon as it was over my Uncle was dragging me and my Aunt through the crowds, he didn't want to get stuck in a line of cars getting out of there.
After we left Epcot we went and ate dinner someplace, I can't remember where, it might have been Dennys or IHOP, but anyway, I was so tired I could barely stay awake for our food.
And that was my Epcot experience.
I didn't stay at my Aunt for 2 weeks after all I went back to Cocoa Beach after a week so that I could go to camp with the church youth group.
Are you wondering if I met up with Duffy at all?
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Yes I did!!!! the day I got back to Cocoa Beach I called him and we went out the next day, he was going to teach me to surf but that never happened, we just talked and went out for lunch, then we went out again that night. Roller skating. He started going to youth group with me, he went on the camping trip with our youth group, everybody liked him. Just when things started to get serious with us, my parents called and said they were bringing me back to Germany. I was happy and sad at the same time, they gave me a choice, if I wanted to stay in Fl I could. But I missed my family so much I chose to go back to Germany. 2 months in Germany and my night terrors came back, so I went out Minnesota to live with My Aunt Jan, I didn't go to Fl. because my Aunt and Uncle found out that they were moving to Ohio.
I lost touch with Duffy after a year, He was fun and I remember him most about Epcot.

Comaparisons, then and now.
Epcot used to be in my book a big bore fest. They have added so much, I can't even begin to tell you how much I love Epcot now and how back then it was so unbelievabley boring. WS for the most part has stayed the same. Of course the 3-D show with michael Jackson is now Honey I shrunk the Audience. The whole dinosour energy thing is the same except they added Ellen and Alex Trebek. Over where Nemo is now, it was still sea life but they have improved it 100% since then. Spaceship Earth I want to say used to be about travel, that's I remember about it, maybe it wasn't and I just think it was because we got to choose our travel method for the ride back.

Now If I could just see Duffy one time

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

Love the shared memories! I remember Epcot being a big bore fest too when I was younger. It still isn't my favorite park, but I enjoy it a whole lot more now, especially with Spaceship Earth being refurbished and TT and Soarin' and all that new stuff. I remember Sea Life. Wasn't that ride way back when? I missed that in March. It would have been fun riding through there again like I did when I was a kid.

That's a sweet story about Duffy! Sorry that you've had to go through all that you've gone through. I hope that you have overcome it and are okay now.

Gotta work now! Have a great day!

 

[jenbear123]

I love the memories! Thanks for sharing. Sorry to hear about the night terrors and such. That must've been hard to miss your family so much but then be terrified when you went back home. You have an amazing memory. I barely remember anything about Disney World when I went. Then again, I was only 3 or 4 when my parents took me before their divorce. I guess being 16, you'd have a better memory, especially of the good looking guys! You have courage made of steel, Ty! No way could I have confidently walked up to a hottie and had a normal conversation. Let alone give out my phone number!!! I don't know what year it was when you were 16... but "those were the days" when you could do that. Now you have to watch your back at every turn.

Sad you lost touch with Duffy but there's plenty more fish in the sea

I think Epcot is my second favorite park, MK being my first. I love it now that they updated and added so much to it. If only they had it all back then...and fast passes.

Duffy, he was just one of the nicest guys I ever met, so good looking and so down to earth, I would love to see what became of him, he was in his senior year and had talked about taking a year off then going to school for marine biology, I wonder if he ever did.

I do have an amazing memory for the the most par. My DH hates it, he can never go back on anything he said cause I always remember verbatum what he said.

Back in the day, I think it was 1988 when I met Duffy I never had any trouble walking up to guys and starting a conversation, I think it was being in the military and moving so much, it takes the shyness away, I was always able to make friends easily. It was a little safer back then to give my number out, I usually didn't, Duffy was the only "stranger" I gave my number to.

Happy Halloween! Finally Found my Costume!

I'm speechless, but Jimmy said "ooooh sweet lovin."

How'd you get this photo of me from last Halloween?!?!

Love the hair Billie, did you use the bump it to get that boufant?

I'll join ya. Man that is crazy.

Happy Halloween.
That would have been orange if I could switch colors, but I can't so just imagine that it's orange .

The kids are at an 8:00pm to 8:00am Halloween party. I wasn't going to let Reese go but since Jim was going I gave her the ok, she could have gone but her curfew is 11:00pm I gave in this one time and let her stay out all night. I'm nervous though, the parents of the girl who is having the party assured me that the kids are not allowed to leave unless they call their parents and she gets the OK from them first. I am not going to sleep until they get home. I regret this decision, I should have stayed my ground and not let Reese go all night.

My sister had a Halloween party last week, she said her MIL showed up as the octomom, she was dressed in a hospital gown, had on a long black wig and was carrying 8 little babies in a basket.
Bo was dorothy from the wizard of Oz, sexy dorothy mind you, her panties were showing, but Bo is skinny and can pull that off.
Each guest had to fill out a toe tag explaining how their character died.
Bo's (dorothy) toe tag read, "Cut her finger on the tin man and died of tetanus."
Her husband was the scarecrow, his toe tag read, "Got to close to the cows." (I guess the cows ate him)

BO really wants me to go to her Halloween party next year, I have been to all of her parties, (she's always throwing one) but I have never been to her Halloween one. I have a Disney trip in the works for that time of year, but I am thinking on postponing Disney a year and just going to Mi for a week to her party.

ILMICKEY, you should go to this party, I already talked to Bo and she can put you and your hubby up in her spare room, Kent and I will couch it, think it over, it's cheaper then Disney, and almost as fun.

Bo goes all out for her parties, and I would love to go to the next one. She said she is going as Carrie next year.

Anywhoo seeing as it is Halloween I will post the last of the Halloween costumes I have made.

This was from a Halloween party that Kent and I went to years ago.
Reese loved my costume and wanted one for herself, so I made her one the next year.

This next costume I made was one of my favorites, Reese had read a story about Pipi Longstocking and wanted to be her for Halloween, this was a fun and easy one to make.

People kept asking how much hairspary we had to use to get her hair to stay that way. Really?! C'mon people, we used a wire hanger that I straightened out then molded to fit her head, I just braided her hair around the wire. We also spray painted her hair orange for actual trick or treating, but she didn't want it orange for costume day at school.

 

[ILMICKEY]

Oh Ty, thanks for the invitation!! Keep me posted on dates, I will do my best to come. I have 2 weddings in October next year to go to so hopefully they won't have them on the same dates. Oh, now I can't wait!!! You, me, alchohol (i'm assuming), sounds like a gooooood time! I can see the looks on our husbands faces right now. See Jay isn't hip to my fun. A couple weeks ago we were at a football game and the H.S. band was playing Crazy Train by Ozzie (I hope you knew that). I started head banging. IT'S Ozzie, doesn't matter who's playing it right? Anyway, he wasn't very happy with me UNTIL, they played another one. Hee, hee! I just kept headbanging. I was having FUN! He doesn't get my idea of a good time sometimes. I think it's because he has no sense of humor. Oh, well!

I think if we do go to Disney next year, it will be around X-mas again. Matt will be in his senior year of football and it probably wouldn't be a good idea to pull him out for it. Coaches are WAY overboard when it comes to football. You come to practice, sick or not!

I am trying to talk him into giving me a solo trip in April for Christmas though. We will see how that goes. He is getting a little leechy lately, so I'm not counting on that.

Are you on Facebook, if so, find me! We can chat.

I love all you Halloween pics. They are great, you are so creative!

I can't believe your Germany story, HOW SCARY! You must have been freaked out. I loved the Duffy part though! Teenage fun. Oh the memories.

 

[Elevationist]

I love the 50s costumes. I'm totally ripping that idea off for me and Ron's 2011 Halloween threads. I might even be hitting you up with my measurements and a check, along with a note begging you to make me a skirt. You have been warned.

Bo's Halloween party is always the Saturday before Halloween, she never changes the date. It would be so awesome if you could come. Yes there will be alcohol, lots and lots of alcohol, and karaoky, which I will only do if I have had lots and lots of alcohol.
Kent isn't too into the major fun factor, he doesn't get it sometimes, he doesn't know how to let his hair down, I will definately keep you posted about all things, I know I am going to be in Mi this summer too, Bo will probably have a party just to have a party, she'll find a reason, like she just got a new haircut or something so we need to celebrate.

I am not on facebook, I will PM you my e-mail address though if you like.

A solo trip in April, hmmm I wonder if I can talk Kent into a solo trip for me in April, that's about the time the income check gets to us.

Way to support the school, if you can't headbang to Ozzy there is something wrong.

I love the 50s costumes. I'm totally ripping that idea off for me and Ron's 2011 Halloween threads. I might even be hitting you up with my measurements and a check, along with a note begging you to make me a skirt. You have been warned.

I would love to make your costume, you don't need to beg at all, I would be honored.

I love the fact that the kids share it all with me, the good , the bad, the ugly, the illegal. And where there is Reese there is drama. She's not a creator of drama, just a magnet for it. Poor thing.

the kids came about 8:30am and went straight to bed, I too went to bed as I hadn't slept a wink all night. But when we woke up the kids had so much to tell me, I will share with you because there is nothing else to do right now, T.V. stinks. And who doesn't love teen drama? It 's our own personal O.C or One Tree Hill etc..etc...

A little background info here. Reese has been going out with Devon 3 and 1/2 years, they did break up for about 5 months their freshman year and Reese went out with one of Jim's friends Bodi. Reese has always hung out with the older crowd partly because of her brother and her boyfriends brother is a good friend of Jim's as well. Also because the band she sang in was all older guys. She only went out with Bodi for a month, she ended it because he is super clingy, she can't stand to have someone hang on her all the time, and he was a fun sucker! Beside she still had a thing for devon.

Reese and Devon.

Anywho, so last night is the party, I took the kids up to Red Lion to meet their ride. Being the Mom that I am I had to get all the details of who is driving and what not, Reese was going with Devon, Devons' brother Pigmy, and Budah. Jim was going with Joe, Marci, Gumby and Phil, their ride home in the morning would be with jingles.

All the kids have nicknames that have been with them since Jr High. Devon's nickname..., Devanzel. Jim's nick name is Mowgli, I love that its a Disney character, they all said he looked like Mowgli and he is wild.


Anyway, I head home for a long night of sitting by the phone and worrying. It's my job and I want a raise!

The kids are home safe by 8:30am, they go right to bed, as do I since I hadn't slept at all. I couldn't Dis either because I had to keep the phone line open.

This evening the kids filled me in on how their night went.

They show up to the party around 7:30ish Jim said there were 27 people there and he knows this because the girl throwing it, Racheal, said she was only allowed 30 people.
More back ground info.
Rachael is not from Red Lion, she is from suburban but she is dating Shae who is from Red Lion and her best friend is Sara who is dating Bodi, Reese's ex. Reese was in a band with Shae and Bodi, Reese stayed friends with Bodi even after the breakup, Sara does not like this.

The party was in Racheals backyard, the food was in the house.
So any way the minute they walk into the party the suburban girls break up into their discussion group, topic...Reese! All kinds of drama broke out, "What is she doing here? She has nerve, how could Pigmy bring her, this party is ruined etc...etc...
This goes on for a bit slowly escalating to the point that Bodi tells Jim Reese has to leave. Well all kinds of people came to Reese's defense, she's here with Devon, she has no desire to be with Bodi, Sara shouldn't feel threatened...
Sara did not like that people thought she was jealous of Reese or that she might feel threatened, so she goes off on a tangent saying all kinds of stuff about Reese. First off, she doesn't know Reese, they don't go to the same school so anything she might have heard must of come from Bodi or Shae. Second Reese, Bodi and Shae had been friends for a long time and it was Shae who invited her to the party, maybe he should have cleared it with his girlfriend first?

So Pigmy said that if Reese leaves then Devon would be leaving and since he was Devons ride he would have to leave as well, then Jim said If my sister goes I have to go too and then Joe said that means I have to go, in the end 21 of the 27 people at the party left because they thought it was unfair to kick Reese out. Jim and Bodi had "words" according to Reese Jim told Bodi what an @ss he was being, Bodi shoved Jim, Jim went to throw a punch but Joe grabbed Jim and told him it wasn't worth it so the group left and went back to Jeffs garage and had their own party. As they were going back through the house they took all the party food and left the food table empty. I feel bad that the girl was left without anything to feed her guests, but really, did they all need to make such a stink about Reese being there?
They could have ignored her and gone on with the party. Girls are so catty.
After a while they got a text message from Bodi saying they owed Rachael $100 dollars for stealing all the food. Jeffs party people played dumb. "What food?"

So I asked the kids, what about Rachaels Mom who had told me that no kids could leave early unless she talked to their parents and got the OK. The kids told me that there weren't any parents there. So that woman lied to me.
But Jeffs Mom was home and she made all 21 kids hot chocolate.
I hate the way things played out at first, and it seems like it was an unsafe situation that turned into a safe situation.

I called Rachaels Mom today and asked her why she lied to me, she said "I never told you I was going to be there all night, and if a kid wanted to leave early Rachael was supposed to call my cell phone so that I could call their parents."
I said, "well your Daughter was one of the people who kicked my daughter out of the party, Did Rachael call you and tell you this?" And the woman hung up on me.
She then called me back 20 minutes later and said, "your kids stole all the party food."
I told her all the kids took something from the table, I'm sorry that my kids were involved in that but really if her only complaint was food being taken then she didn't have it too bad, My 15 year old daughter who was supposed to be under your supervison for the night was kicked out."

She hung up on me again. Then called back again I wouldn't answer the phone this time, so she left a long detailed message and finished it with Reese is not welcome in her home ever again.

REALLY!!?!!! like I would ever send my kid back there, that lady is demented.

But I guess the kids had a great time at Jeffs, They said they didn't want to call me and tell me they had left the party because they didn't want to wake me. Honestly they thought I could sleep when they were going to be gone all night?

Bottom line, even though none of this was Reeses fault I have come to the conclusion that she doesn't need to go to parties like that anymore, she is too young, and even though her brother was there to watch out for her he almost got in a fight because of others girls drama with Reese. This was a bad decision on my part, I trusted a lady I had never met to watch out and supervise these kids and she lied right to me about it.

I kind of think that they invited Reese just so they could make a big scene once she got there.
Oh well live and learn.

I hate high school drama. And for what? BOYS!!!! Girls are very very competitive. Why can't they just chill out? Sigh... I feel so sorry for Reese. I would be SO upset if that happened to me. That mother sounds like a real piece of work. And we're how old? Even if that Sara girl was jealous, let her be. That's her problem. Reese is a beautiful girl and is bound to make girls of her age jealous.

And what kind of mother (or parents for that matter) has a house party full of 15-something year olds (I'm not sure if everyone was 15 here...) and is NOT home to supervise?!?!? Even if alcohol wasn't involved, it's still a big no-no in my books. Not only for the safety of the kids but for the house as well! It's a good idea not to let Reese go to these parties until she's a bit older. I know sheltering her is not the greatest thing to do (I didn't go to these types of parties until I was 18 and BOY OH BOY did I go crazy...not to freak you out or anything lol) but if it makes you, as a mom, feel better, I say keep her out of them until she's a little bit older.

The party was made up of mostly seniors, I think Reese and Devon were the only sophomores there, usually where Jim goes Reese is there too because they share the same friends, Reese is really mature for her age and has always hung out with the older crowd, I have always known the parents where she has gone to parties, this was a first for me not "knowing" the parents because like I said the girl was not from Red Lion. Reese's weekend curfew is 11:00pm I have never let her stay out past that. We had a long talk today and I let her know that I can't let her go to all night parties, even if Jim is going to be there, she is just too young and I feel stupid for letting her go in the first place. She argued, but I won!!!! She should be lucky that I let her do as much as I have been, I wasn't allowed to go out like that until I was 16, I could have a boyfriend but wasn't allowed to car date, not even in a big group. I let her go out with groups of people and Devon, but never just her and Devon alone. I honestly can not believe I let her do this. What was I thinking, we are all lucky that nothing bad happened.
