We're not in Kansas anymore...

Did any one happen to see the sky in mid-Michigan last night? This lovely green sky came about around 7:00 just as J and I were driving to another town to meet with some friends. Yes, driving away from my daughter, V. I can not tell you how horrible that was. I called a friend H who lives in the neighborhood where V was staying and told her to call me if something happened. (I didn't want to call V's friends mom because she would think I was a nut.) So a few minutes later- she called and told me the sirens in town were going off and they were going to the basement. So I immediately made her go upstairs in this weather (risking being a cast member in the new Wizard of Oz) and made her get me the number where V was. I called and told them that they should be in the basement. Thank goodness I did because they weren't. After a few beers my chest stopped constricting and I was ok- the weather cleared. I hate being a mother. It completely stresses me out. Really- I am so thankful to be a mother I just hate that I can't guarantee her safety.

So J did this really cool thing for me. I think he really loves me!! He sent me an email and has decided to tell me year by year certain important events in his life. How cool is that. I learned his birth minute, who his godmother is, etc. This email was birth to age 3. Age four will be much more detail I am sure since his memories begin there- and that was when he had his heart surgery. So it is the best pre-wedding gift ever!

Also I went shopping yesterday with a girlfriend and found a dress. I really love it! I am going to have to lose a bit and tone a lot but I think it will be worth it! Color may be an issue though... But it's second wedding and J will love me no matter what. His family may pass out. We'll see. I'd tell you more about it but I don't know if J reads this or not so if you do J- not a chance I am not telling you a thing!!

Finishing up with school work. Grant is due on Wednesday. Ba hum bug. It will get done though.
