7:39am

Too darn early to try to even become

fully functional.  Eyes are still held open

with toothpicks!

There's a knock at the door and I'm

wondering who in the world!!

And here sits this kid on my front door step.

He says he wants his bike back that he

left here.  I think he was wanting me to

wake the kids up which is something 

I am not doing and are going to enjoy

my quiet couple of hours in the morning to myself.

So I take the kid around to the back yard

to where we have a pile of bicycles behind

the shed.  Of course his bike is the one

on the bottom of about 8 bikes and I got it dug out.

I think he was wanting someone to 

put the back tire on and replace the inner

tube.  I don't think so!  Kids seems to come here

and expect free hand outs for bike parts.

I am to the point I'm not giving out anymore or we won't have any for ourselves.

For starters he abandoned

this mountain bike over here about 2 months

ago after telling him several times he

needed to get it out of here that we

weren't a storage facility for other people's bikes.

 I kept stressing to him that it's been over

here quite awhile to the point it's on the

bottom of the bicycle stack and is covered

with spider webs.  He took his bike apart here

and now thinks I should know 2 months

later where bolts and tires are for it.

And all the while I'm thinking he's got the

nerve to come over here at 7:30am!!

Where are his parents at and why

is he running the neighborhood at this hour

of the morning.  I'm going to guess he's

10 or so years old.

I don't let my kids go to anyone's house

unless it's about 10:30 - 11:00am or so out of respect.

Tony came home from work and took
a quick shower and left around 5:35pm
to head towards Toledo this evening
with his friends.
I got his bag packed and thought
to include his handicap plaque
hoping he wouldn't have to walk far
with the foot, hip and back problems he has.
Tomorrow they'll be going to 
Brooklyn, Michigan to see the race
about 50 minutes away,
then return back to Toledo to spend the night.
Then Sunday make the 2-2.5 hour drive
back home.



Too quiet around here!
I think we've only been apart about
6 days in 12 years.
Truck driver neighbor is watching
over our house while Tony
is gone to make sure me and
the kids are ok.  


Tomorrow we're going to UV
apartments to check out the
college move outs.  Mom said
she'd go with us, woo hoo!  I think I took
her to this event once before.
It'll be fun.  Can't wait to see
what kind of goodies we'll find.
