Tales from Senior Grad Trip and At Home Escapades

<p>Nothing much to report. Son and his friends are in Orlando - alone. Today is their final day for fun in the sun, prior to tomorrow’s departures for home.</p>

<p>Son just called, sounding bored. He said they’re all bored now, everyone is tired of spending all of their own money for overpriced Disney fun, the house is now out of food and they aren’t buying any because they leave tomorrow, the house is now dirty and nobody wants to clean up, and they just want to come home.</p>

<p>“We need moms” says son solemnly. Actually, I guess this feeling stays with us because I feel this way when I look around my house some days - bored, don’t want to spend money, don’t want to clean, out of food and don’t feel like buying any. </p>

<p>While he has been gone, (since last Sun), we’ve been playing “Extreme Makeover” on his room. Actually, it’s not that extreme, but we did some major cleaning, carpeting, redecorating. Book packing was major since he took our bench form the kitchen table and was using it as a bookshelf…'cause his shelves are still full of GI Joes. Anyway, the room looks MUCH better now. I forget whose son eats sunflowers and tosses the seeds around his room…but my son’s room was fertile ground for sunflowers galore. Glad these two aren’t living together.</p>
