Friday Roll Call
Dawn, you did the right thing. Liv is way to young for that. And if the boy got in troble from his parents, thats ok too. It might just keep him from getting into some real trouble with a girl.
Georgie, Nothing is wrong with holding hands. We do whenever we are out walking.
I am going back to work the last week of August as far as I know. We won't find out anything until that time. I know the program is still going to be used, it is just what gets cut, and if our year will shorten up. I am glad that I get SS and really don't have to work, but then, who knows about it either.

Good afternoon all,
Lisa so sorry sbout the issues with your daughter and the boyfreind. However, i am proud of yiur girl for setting her boundaries.
Just yesterday my son, who is 16, talked to me about his girlfriend and where they are physically. As he said, he did not want to upset me but he wanted to talk about his feelings. I have to say, I am proud of him as he told me he is inteerested in sex, but he feels he is not ready! Yeah!! He has even told his girl, he would rather not go there yet. He said he does not want to spoil their relationship. He did mention that he is interested in going there and what would I say? I of course told him that the feelings he has were verey normal, but sex will take his relationship to a level he would never be able to leave. I told him when he was ready, his girl would need to talk to her parents and get on birth control. I explained that cindums were not fool proof. I also explained I would rather he waited and not open himself up to adult issues. He knows Hiw I feel about sex prior to marriage. He knows I would rather he wait, but if he can't wahat he needs to do before hand. The fun of being a parent to a teenager.

I have to say you are very lucky to have a son with such a good head on his shoulders and such a good heart. It's very refreshing when I hear kids that want to wait.
I never preached heavily to my daughter about waiting till marriage but I did preach about safety and being smart about who she decides will be the one she gives her virginity to. It's only there one time and it would be so sad to regret something like that. I am very happy that she waited till she was in a commited relationship and they eventually got married (they were both virgins). I think it's sweet when two people get married and they are each other's firsts. You just don't see that anymore.

Waiting for our train which is close to 5 hours late coming from Seattle. The lateness is caused by the floods in N Dakota. We could have opted for a shuttle to Milwaukee but why would we do that when we want to take a train? We have nowhere to go later on so we can get home later.
Weather is picture perfect, sun is warm and no humidity to speak of. Bought 4 tee shirts and one fleece. Two of the t's are for my sister so we can be twins. Just going to enjoy the walking around and while Dave sits by at The 'Keg I will go to two of the consignment antique stores and then down Broadway to the book store. That last store is always a dangerous place for me to go. Thank goodness I do not have much room to carry anything so it more than likely will be a magazine or two and that is it.

Good Afternoon Everyone!
I am glad it is Friday! I cant wait to sleep in tomorrow! Yay! Work has been fine but incredibly busy and I have been tired by noon when I leave. My chair is really uncomfortable so I need to talk to my supervisor about the chances of getting something different.
Yesterday was a blur. There was so much to do. After work I had my nails done. For you ladies, I am now doing the nail shellacking. It is not a gel nail or an artificial nail but a different type of polish that makes your nails rock hard and does not change the surface of your nails when you take it off. I changed mine out yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to see a nice, normal nail underneath.
PT is getting harder. That is to be expected as we are trying to build up strength. Ugh!
Steven, I hope you have a great weekend. I am looking forward to seeing your picture posted! Smile!
Crystal, I thought about you several times today. I hope you had a good last day and enjoyed your night out with your friends. It probably is semi sweet in leaving. Too bad you cant take the coworkers you like with you! 
Lisa, you got everything done! Congratulations! I hope you have a relaxing weekend. Enjoy your new rooms. Dawn, enjoy the boy's stories. 
It is always fun to hear about adventures. About the drama .... Makes me glad I am not a parent. I applaud the relationship that you and Liv have that she was willing to talk with you. I agree, it was too far so early in the relationship. It is great that Liv was uncomfortable about it. That shows her head is in the right place and you can reaffirm those values. Good for you for contacting the boys parents. He is going much to fast in a relationship and is heading for BIG trouble if someone does not slow him down. His parents did not react the wisest but at least they talked to him. Kids today have such more open views of sex than our generation. Georgie, I am so glad you had fun in Chicago. The concert sounds like it was wonderful! I am glad you got to go. 
Debbie, it sounds like you have a great relationship with your son as well. 
Parenting is such a challenge and when communication is so open it is great to hear! Christine, I am sorry your train is so delayed. 5 hours and counting! You have to be kidding me! I am glad you were not in a hurry to go anyplace. Hope you get home safely and sometime today. 
Sandy, I am thinking of you as you recover this week .
The first few days out are often the hardest.
Everyone have a great weekend!
