This is Jim, Son #1 and Daughter @1 in Rome --- the day we got there. That was an awesome trip.
My mom and D are here and they found a house today!! Right around the corner from our house at the lake. Hopefully it will work out and they'll be moved down here in a month or so.
We had fun Saturday night with the newly-turned 21 year olds. Daughter #2 had 2 drinks and a shot ---- #3 had THREE drinks and a shot. She's the professional. We had a good time -- I think they had a good time, too, even though almost everyone who came to celebrate with them was over the age of 40. What can I say? I have fun friends.
Tomorrow is a big day. Son #1 is a little legal tomorrow. Just a little. Legal enough to sign up for the fake-draft, I guess. Five more days until he graduates. Five more days until I sit on that stage and hopefully hold it all together. I wonder how many Xanax that will require? Maybe that can be a discussion question --- How many Xanax to stay in control and yet not fall asleep in front of thousands of people? It's a delicate balance. Maybe it should be margaritas instead? Nahhh, I'd certainly fall sleep.
Another question: how many Kleenex do we think it will take? A box? Can you hide a box in one of those robes? Oooooh, I just thought of something .... I'm going to totally look pregnant in that robe!!! Not my favorite look. Trust me, I've spent enough time in my life pregnant.
So, for those who will be there --- no whispering about how I look --- I'll know what you're saying!
I need to figure out what shoes I'm going to wear, too. Comfortable, yet with a little height so that I don't look like a black fire hydrant. But not too high or I'll stumble. And my feet will swell.
Sheesh, I may have to start the Xanax/tequila now!!
But first I need to get through tomorrow. Stay tuned --- you'll be glad you did!!!

M says he heard that if you hold a penny between your toes and squeeze it real tight, you won't cry.
Hmmmm...could be a dream he had while suffering 3 degree burns to his eyebrows after he lit the fireplace...maybe he was wishing he had a penny between his toes so he woulnd't cry then???
I don't know. Your guess would be better than mine....I know,I know, he's a TWIT. (your twit...I can't type what I call him! )JK-But he can tell you!! LOL!
I say wear the coach sandals, drop a xanax in a frozen margarita, blow your nose and wipe away tears on the kids robes as they go by. (they'll never know!)
XOXO
Thinking of you!! ;P and nice talking to ya today, even if it was by accident!

You are not going to look pregnant! Ummmm, you’re just a tad too thin to pull that one off at the moment! Besides, L.F. wears the robe and I don't think she looks pregnant. I think your okay on that one? Now, a fire hydrant- well I can't picture that either...
... For some odd reason, here is what I picture:
The Owl from the Tootsie Pop commercials?? A one.... a two.... a three... Crunch!
Not sure why?? I think it is because the owl wears a cap and gown in the commercial (I think- at least that is how I remember it!)
how many Xanax will it take? many!I don't know if you'll be able to find the right amount!- it will definately be a very hard night. Now, if you stuff enough kleenex in your gown in order to last through the graduation- you just may pull off the pregnant thing??? Hmmmm?
I'll be thinking about you tomorrow! call or text me and tell me how things went.
Oh!Oh!!and it is now the 27th so I can officially wish Son #1 a Happy 18th Birthday.
And... as is the long standing tradition (somewhere in the world I imagine? and if not, we can make it a tradition) let me wish Happy 3-days-after your 21st birthday to K and L too!
Love you, K
Hi, It's late, I'm tired, but I wanted to tell you that I love you.
