"SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!!!"

Trey is so excited to be out of school. He had a great graduation. I can't believe he will be in middle school next year. He is MR. POPULAR at school. The guys think he's cool and the girls think he's hot. Here he is with his "posse" at graduation. I might have to lock him in his room and never let him grow up. Time flies by......

Roses are red, violets are blue....

who would have thought, I could grow something too! I kill everything. I've even killed a cactus. HOW is that possible? When we planted flowers and plants in April I had little hope they would survive. Not only did they live, but they have really grown and are just beautiful. Here are pics from April and June. My favorite are the red/yellow asian lilies.

"Mom, I'm still waiting for the bus!"

I get a distraught phone call around noon from Carlos. "Mom, I'm still waiting for the bus!" You see my son has to go to summer school this year. Due to the times, we could not take him nor pick up him for school. Therefore, he had to ride the bus. My children DON'T ride the bus. Too many things can happen on there! The last time he wrote the bus was when he was in preschool. However, I figured there wouldn't be too many teenagers going to summer school. He got on the bus just fine this morning. Apparently, out of the 2 buses (Yes....just two buses) he didn't get on either one. I guess I failed to tell him the bus number but he didn't have enough sense to ask either driver where they were going. So he just stood there as the buses drove away. Was he waiting for someone to tell him which one it was? This isn't preschool anymore. As usual, Daniel's solution was for him to walk home. This wasn't an option as this was too far and too dangerous. Besides, if he can't figure out which of the two buses he needs to get on, there is no way he could figure out how to make it home. Since Daniel and I were both at work and couldn't get off, I was frantically calling anyone I knew that could help me. I finally was able to get in contact with a friend and ask her to load up her 4 young children and pick up my crazy teenager. (THANKS AMY B!!) Oh, the joys of being a mother of a teenager!!!! What will tomorrow bring...................
