Yesterday we met with EC's new migraine doctor. She was awesome and left us feeling like their was hope after all, maybe even without drugs(Good grief -a teenager not interested in doing drugs!)which is EC's wish! The only unsettling moment was when she shared with us that she and her mother did CIA boot camp together! I was very impressed-I asked why they did it and she answered "for fun". Now call me an underachiever but CIA boot camp does not sound like something you do for kicks and giggles!! And not with your 60 some year old mom (no offense Ma)! It's also alarming that the CIA lets random old ladies and neurologists come to "camp" security?! So WOW we were a lot impressed and a little scared. As she was describing her experience it became apparent we were not all on the same page. Apparently she was referring to the somewhat less top secret,less strenous Culinary Institute of America boot camp! We should have figured it out since we had just talked about my Culinary Arts degree-but NO(I blame it on daylight savings time).Fortunately we all managed to keep our mouths shut and not say anything that might give away the fact that we were complete idiots!! but as soon as our butts were out that door....
I feel like I've been gypping YC out of blog time. It's not that his life is less interesting (he has a better social life than me!)nor is it dull(there's always something) it's just that I'm having trouble making fun of him. I must say though that his judgement seems to be getting some what more impaired the older he gets. This was evidenced by his appearance at the front door in Saturday's rainstorm. Now you send a kid to friends house when its raining and you expect that they spend the day playing HALO-right? I mean they do this every freakin' sunny day! But alas no,they take this opportunity to creek jump.Obviously YC missed the boat because when he showed up at the door he looked like-well,Erie Dog(although he has considerably more hair on his head.)! Now ,the boy has ONE pair of shoes!!! That ONE pair of shoes costs $60!!! They are the ONLY shoes that don't hurt his feet-this is why I layout that much green for feet that never seem to stop growing(along with the rest of him). This ONE pair of shoes was on his feet when he missed the boat and are now so wet you could keep goldfish in them !!! It is now Tuesday, for those of you who need to use your fingers- 3 DAYS !! They can still be heard sloshing away in the furnace room! No, I will not put them in the dryer-I like my dryer. Okay, well I'd rather have the cherry red LG dryer but I'd have to break the washer too so they'd match. Besides-I can't afford new appliances (maybe PECO can help me out here)I have to buy SHOES!
See maybe I can share more YC than I thought!

O.K. so you were surprised YC played in WATER! He loves it more than air! I'm sure it was his idea to creek jump and he had to drag his friends along. Next time it rains just have him go barefoot. To his friends - barefoot. To the bus stop - barefoot. Towards the door - barefoot. Just confiscate those sneakers. He'll hobble home when he needs them. Hey! How about inventing the sneaker dehydrator. You're motivated and capable. And did I mention motivated? S
So what has he been wearing to school--Teva's? That's what he should creek jump in. Hello to all the Lehmans, and Monks too. Gave your blog address to L&M, they were interested in your surgery. Lou said general anest. and your hamstring. John is home, did ok at tournament.
