Hey guys!

Well, being on the high from our anniversary weekend came to a screeching halt yesterday as I drove to work. My Lola, my 2000 Ford Explorer, decided she was going to overheat on me. I put extra water in and limped her to work, arriving 10 minutes late. I called DH and let him know what was going on and he suggested taking the rest of the day off and getting it looked at. He came to get me at work at 10AM and we left for the shop.

Hey everyone,

So, after FIL made a big deal of calling DH and saying he was going to call off the engagement and not allow "L" to move in, we didn't hear from him for a week. Now, this was telling, since FIL usually talks to DH several times a week, if only to ask a silly question about his computer (to me) or just a quick hi.

Howdy all,

Had a nice weekend, albeit busy. FINALLY got the chinchilla mansion done. DH did a fantastic job! I helped make the shelves and bridges and installed stuff but really didn't contribute much. It looks wonderful and the chinnies LOVE their new digs.

Didn't do much yesterday. DH went to the cemetery while I was still asleep to leave his mom flowers and then brought home donuts. DD15 called to wish me a Happy Mother's Day. I slept in.

Stepdevil14's awards ceremony at school is tonight. My guts are all twisted up with nerves about it. I know BM and likely her boyfriend will be there, DH and I and Dh's dad and his girlfriend. I've never met BM, never spoken to her or had any contact with her other than seeing her at the door during drop offs or passing her on the road (we live in the same town). BM has refused to meet me since DH and I started dating more than 2 yrs ago, and I've given her several chances but she's never wanted to which is fine by me.
