A poster, hung by an extremist right wing group, depicting Obummer wearing a traditional Arab headdress is seen in Jerusalem, Sunday, June 14th, 2009. Senior aides say they don’t expect Benjamin Ninnyahu to explicitly endorse Palestinian statehood when he delivers an anxiously awaited policy speech Sunday night, a stance that would preserve an uncomfortable impasse with the United States.
#Technology Ben had a another rough day yesterday —— he had to make two more trips to town and back before he got his computer stuff right.
He took the remote keyboard / mouse back to Radio Shack and decided to get just a remote mouse. When he got home with that he discovered the battery cover was missing and had to make another trip in to Pekin to get that replaced.
I have to wonder if everybody has this much trouble with getting broken or incomplete products when they buy something or is it just us? It is not as if this stuff is free!

The #Piaggio dealer never called back so I called them again. I was told their mechanic is gone until next Tuesday. I had planned to take the scooter in today but there is no point in it sitting there for a week.

Aaron left in the early afternoon yesterday to go visit a friend and didn’t return home until 9:45 p.m. We always tell the boys no booze, no drugs, no sex and no fun when they go out but I still worry sometimes. They are responsible and we trust them —— it is still a parent’s job to worry though I guess.

Hey...that’s why they have cell phones...so mommys and daddys can call and make sure all is well! I just learned how to send a text message. I don’t like it, but if I have to send one, I can now.
Here’s a funny...Ashley went to the park Sun. night from 10 p.m. to midnight with friends and had a bonfire. Some of these friends are Andy’s friends and his age. Well, I was talking to Andy last night and he told me he saw pictures from the park on the computer (my parents have a laptop for the motorhome). I asked if he saw Ashley and he said yes. I asked if she was behaving. He said, well, she wasn’t drinking or smoking in the pictures so I guess she was behaving. I told Ashley that Andy “saw” her at the park. It took her a minute to figure out that the girl taking pictures has a facebook and that her brother was on facebook yesterday. I told her that MOM IS EVERYWHERE so look out!
Ashley is taking a class at ICC through College for Kids. She’s really a year too old, but they let her squeak by. It’s called Project Fashion Design. This is what she thinks she wants to be when she grows up. She took a different fashion design class through ICC a couple of winters ago. So, I’m the shuttle bus Mon -Thur for 2 weeks. The class is 2 hours long. Yesterday was the 1st class and she seemed to enjoy it. Off to work today! Rain, rain go away so we can be outside!

I know, I know —— but my kids would purely hate me if I was calling every 15 minutes to check up on them. And, it is illegal for them to yak on the cell phone while driving so I hesitate to call when I don’t know if they are driving to and fro from hither and yon. I hope we don’t get any rain either but I wouldn’t bet on it. Have fun being shuttle Mom —— I am soooo glad the boys can drive now (even with the angst and worry).
