theo... The storm is coming to us friend. Do you have any warnings yet???

[Yoyowife]

Tal and Theo,
I hate to hear that the storms are headed your way. This is our first rainfree day in four days. I forgot what the sun looked like.

I'm headed to the first HS football game of the season. It's hard to believe this will be my DD's last year to dance and cheer at the games.

Hugs, Yoyo

((((yoyo)))) Thats got to be a hard one. I'm just beginning, but I know how fast it can go. I remember just saying to my friend "Oh I have 3 more year with S5 home with me" Yup its over already!!

Time goes by so fast, makes me not want to waste one minute!

Our warnings are saying flooding and strong winds. I hope its not too bad here, H won't be home til late on Sunday.

Have fun tonight!

TAL,

Did OK in the storm, no flooding.

But if it did flood, I'd have my Tevas. ;-)

I've been pretty busy lately. I've had a meeting Monday night and last night I took DD shopping for her homecoming suit and hat. Believe it or not we found her suit in the first store we went to. She tried on three suits and ended up getting the first one that she tried on. It is gorgeous. We were also able to find her a hat that matched perfectly. We now just have to find her a gown for the school assembly. So we are half way finished!

I wanted to catch everyone up on the latest with my H. He of course continues to baffle me. One minute he is telling me he doesn't see how we could work out and then here he comes again.

Last week we received a lot of rain from Gustav. On Tuesday parts of our city lost power. H called to check on DD and me to see if we had power, we did. It was a very brief conversation. Friday afternoon he called me and asked me what time the football game started that DD would be cheering at. Funny thing is that DD was at his house the previous night, I think he could have found out from her then or even called DD on her cell. We talked about if her dance squad was performing before the game or at half time. I then asked him if wanted to pick me up. He said "I can" in a very pleasant voice. DD20 and her friends came to the game to watch DD17 dance and then left. When we got back to my house DD20 and her friends were on the deck hanging out. H got out and talked to them and then we went in the house and he stayed about 45 minutes more. I told him I was going to the college game the next day with his cousin and wife. He seemed like he was a little surprised. The cousin's wife and I are very good friends. H asked me all kinds of questions about it. I think he was a little jealous.

Steady as she goes, huh?

He is torn, my yoyo. You seem like you are in a good spot though, so what's the harm in standing. As long as you are good.

When my daughter learned that she was on homecoming court she called and asked her grandfather (my father) to walk during the ceremony along with her dad at the ceremony. After she called her grandfather she asked me if I thought that it would cause a problem with her dad. I told her that it was her night and no one elses, she needed to do what pleased her. I told her that I knew both men are very special to her and she shouldn't worry what her dad thought. I told her I also knew it would mean the world to her grandfather. She will not be the only girl being walked by two escorts. Typically, the girls are walked by their dads and brothers or grandfathers. I'm not sure if H would know this though.

My father lives about 4 hours away from us. My H and he have not seen or talked to each other in the two years that we have been separated. My DD said that when she told her dad that her grandfather would also be escorting her, he looked away and didn't say much more after that. My father is a very kind family oriented man. I'm guessing that my H is dreading facing him because of all of the pain he has caused me and the girls. They will be in very close proximity for at least 30 minutes or more. It's sad that my daughter has to worry about this. I am glad though that she did what she wanted to do.

Good to break the ice now, and not at one of their weddings. Your H really seems to like to go to the high school games with you and see DD dance. Maybe next year she'll be on the college dance team, and you guys can graduate to the college games.

Sara,
Do I note a little sarcasm there? LOL Maybe she will be a dancing grandma and we can stand on the sidelines with our walkers and cheer her on. Of course that would be our once a week date, LOL!
