I could go to dances, but not with a date, and I had to call my mom to come pick me up....that was completely normal. And I HAD to go to football games and basketball games because I was a cheerleader freshman year, and then later I worked at the games. So yes, I could go to those, but again, my mom could see the parking lot so she knew when it was over. And honestly, my mom came to most of the games herself anyway. What do you mean by senior trip? Like....I was allowed to go on the school field trip for the seniors, but it was required to graduate. I was NOT allowed to go with the other seniors on the school trip to Denver to do volunteer work in the projects there. And I was not allowed to participate in Senior Skip day when all the seniors skipped school. There were 2 of us in school that day. I was allowed to go to the after-graduation party in the next town over, but I was NOT allowed to go to breakfast in that town after Prom with the rest of the kids. But there was no such thing as a ski trip or something like that. The required field trip was camping for 3 days, but we did educational things like tree identification, visit a cave and a state park, learn about conservation, survival skills....it wasn't like a trip just for fun. It was all educational stuff.

Our senior trip was a day at an amusement park (cedar point) where all the kids were loaded into buses, with chaperones.

Having both an IP and nonstick(their 8qt came out before IP's) I like IP better. I'm thinking about replacing my nonstick with an IP stainless

What do you like better about it? Before my crock-pot brand one, I had a QVC brand one, and that was non stick too. I really liked it, but the handle on the lid was a poor design and kept slipping out of my hands and dropping it. After the last time it dropped so hard, I was afraid to use it again, for fear the seal could be bad, and I didn't want to take my chances. The crock-pot brand has a nice handle.

The stainless is easy to clean and I like the features and it feels rather sturdy

I have to share one more thing from FB. I literally did just cry while reading this.
So disappointing. This is the high school where my son will most likely attend.. it is a fantastic academic school with fantastic athletic programs and an amazing philosophy.
I know many people who currently have kids there and most of the men I know are alumni of this school. I am so shocked beyond words. This post is from a close friend of my sister’s and bro-in-law. Brother in law and him played football together there.

They are not the type to start drama on Facebook or call people out.. this situation is so bad that it had to be written.

It’s long, but worth the read. I’m so angry, I would never have expected anything like this from them. Just so heart breaking for the kid.

That is a shame. Rotten coach. I hope they get a lot of phone calls and reinstate him.

It’s been a long week of parent-teacher conferences two nights this week and other after school meetings the other days this week. I’m really looking forward to the weekend. But Singing in the Rain is currently on TCM (my favorite musical) and Pillow Talk (with Doris Day and Rock Hudson) is on next, that is my favorite romantic comedy. I wish I could stay up late to watch, but I’ll settle for falling asleep to it. 🙂

I love those movies also. :)

Our church parish picnic is tonight, at a local amusement park... it’s freezing, and it’s supposed to rain. I’m going to try to talk T out of going. I have no desire at all.

60 sounds good for Hershey! I hope it stays nice for you.

I have an answer for him
I'm not sure you're ready
this is rough
I love you but it's not worth going if we aren't going to be comfortable and be able to enjoy it. let's pick out a movie and make popcorn and watch it together

Why do I feel like this was your mother?
Click to expand...

Ha!!! That's hilarious. But no... I don't know how to explain it. I was allowed to do all the school activities I wanted. Plays, music, whatever. Though the part at the wedding was rather like her...I could see her deciding she was done and walking off, though she would never have listened to someone telling her to sit down. She wasn't one to back down or ask someone else to speak up for her. And where she goes in and just keeps hugging Amy and is bragging about her playing Amelia Earhart....definitely not my mom. She did not like displays of affection...I once sat next to my boyfriend on the couch (when I was in college)....we weren't even touching and she accused me of "being all over each other the whole night." And she got mad at me because I allowed him to call me things like "Sweetie" or "honey" and told me I needed to make him stop that....she didn't like it. (I told her tough, it was my relationship, not hers and -I- liked it) She came to all my concerts and such, but even when I was chosen to do a descant at All-State choir, she didn't clap. She never clapped for any of my solos or when I did the lead in a play or musical. She just wasn't one to dole out praise to me. And when I won a speech contest, I wasn't allowed to tell people because my brother had participated in the same contest and he came in 2nd to me, and it would make him feel bad if people knew I beat him. He was so used to being better than me. I'd say my mom was a bit more like Leonard's mom....maybe if you combined Amy's mom and Leonard's mom together...that would be my mom.
