i forgot to tell you that "V" did something for me that was truly helpful. we all know that i've been "supposedly" doing a thesis paper to graduate. well, i've printed out a couple of sections of civil war records and have been meaning to bind them, but i always forget them here or just forget to bother. anyway, yesterday, she asked me for the papers and she bound them at work. isn't that sooo cool?
so, how many of you all got those "Missing" messages from me dealing with a cousins neice? TRUE! don't worry, it's all true, but also, she's back at home. safe and sound. just a warning. for those of you with kids and those of you about to have kids and those of you who plan on kids; don't hold the reigns too tightly. when they reach a certain age, if they are trust worth, let them prove it to you. let them go out with friends, but give a curfew. if they break curfew or if they do something that makes you not trust them any more, ground them. there are other stipulations and other things that can be added or amended to this, but in all, allow kids to go out or else they'll RUN AWAY WITHOUT LETTING YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING AND WASTING TAX PAYERS MOMEY AND FREAKING THE WHOLE FAMILY OUT. honestly, i may like to see family members faces on milk cartons but don't let it be because of something stupid like this. the story from the home front is that the neice wasn't allowed to go out of the house AT ALL and so, she split with a female friend and told no one about it.

glad she is safe, but uh, just so you know, if i ever split like that and didn't let anyone know, as soon as i returned home i'd definitely be missing for quite a while. in fact, even though i know what it's like, if my kid ever did that, i'd be like, happy you're safe, then SMACK across the head multiple times + more. it's one thing to run away, but if you run away without telling ANYONE, a friend, a note, taking things, you scare your loved ones into thinking you got kidnapped or murdered instead of just choosing to leave and that's not cool. yes, kids need trust, but generally, by running away (and yes, there are always exceptions-the AT ALL part maybe) you are proving that you are not trustworthy. like the runaway bride. or like when fudge ran away with daniel in superfudge. great book.
