Ruth and IC still at her mom's house. It sure appears that the trip to my house isn't going to happen. Supposedly the whole reason that I couldn't take Elmer to the fair was that if we took him to the fair - they wouldn't be able to meet up with her mom till this evening which would mean that they couldn't drive home till tomorrow. So I gave up taking Elmer to the fair so that they could leave last night. Supposedly if they left last night, they'd come home tonight so that IC could leave with me tomorrow. HA. That didn't happen. Now, the story is that they're going to meet up with me tomorrow before I hit the highway. Anyone wanna bet that this never happens? So basically, I got ripped off. I didn't get to take Elmer to the fair and I'll be surprised if IC gets to come home with me and see his brothers. How mad will I be? Probably not. Why get mad? Either he's going to cowboy up and stop giving up things that he wants and stop putting her family in front of ours or he won't. Its his life. He's the one that has to be happy. So long as he's happy and doing well - it's not my business. All I can do is to be here when he needs me.
Fair story of the day: I had a girl today doing the happy dance in line. She "had to go"! Right then. So by the time we got to the bathroom, she went to pull her pants down and squat and I heard this good large pop and urine went EVERYWHERE. I mean on the toilet, the floor, down her pants and even all over the wall. She said " I had been holding it for so long I really had to go." I was biting my tongue and cheek trying not to crack up laughing in her face. I knew what had happened. She had had a balloon or condom with someone else' urine in it and it had broken all over her. Can you say.... KARMA? Oh and BTW... She failed. She admitted to Teri (the lady that owns the company) what had happened. No
Teri had a good one late this afternoon too. He gave her a cold specimen. For those of you who might not know what this means - it means it wasn't his urine. There are temperature strips on the cups. The strips turn blue/green someplace between 90-100 degrees. No color on the temp strip = specimen not body temperature = someone trying to cheat (or a corpse walking around trying to get a job). When Teri told him that she couldn't take his specimen, he pulled a wad of cash out of his pocket with a $100 bill on top and asked her if she couldn't .... "change her mind". Ummmmm - no. Not a chance. Like Teri said- big wad of cash probably equals drug dealer looking for a free pass into the fair to deal more drugs. That would be a bad deal.
So, I'm looking forward to heading home. Homecoming is tomorrow night. I'll be back in time to watch my
Hurricane took care of my car today. It was running rough. There was apparently a june bug and a couple of butterflies and some other assorted things in my massively dirty air filter. He checked all my fluids. Went and got me a new air filter and put it in and did a few other maintenance type things that really needed done. He went and did some Christmas shopping with me. And then he put the Rangers game on and watched the last few innings with me. Probably one of the most enjoyable times I've spent with him in I can't tell you how long. Now we're laying in his room watching one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen. Well, he and Donna are watching it. I'm desperately trying to ignore it. Well, there's a relief. It's over. Don't ask me what the name of it was - I really spent the last few hours tuning it out. It was horrid. Ok, well off here - it's late. One more day. The car is loaded - I'm ready to go. I'll have to be careful to not speed on the way home.
*keep smiling!*

I'm sorry things didn't work out with Elmer, but at least you spent some quality time with H. Have a safe trip home.
