Those DSs finally got here abt midnight, and teh 17 yr old goes downstairs to bed without coming back to even say hi! grr! and the 22yr old dropped him off in the driveway and left to go back to Sioux Falls!!!! Oh, they just tick me off!

Steve is all upset because Kandyce told him it's over on Fri night so I guess I must cut him some slack but I still told him that he was behaving very rudely. The least he could have done was come in and say HI to his 'poor old worrying' mother and then say he wanted to go back to SF. He's really upset, apparently she's been seen with this other guy the past two weeks and have him overnight, etc. She is living exactly the way her mother raised her - different guy in the house anytime there was an issue with the last boyfriend. K. said she wanted to break that pattern but I don't think she's able to yet. Who knows, makes us all sad for her and DS. And of course baby k. She spent the wknd at the neighbor's again. Tough situation.

I'm going to try call her because I really want to make sure that she gets that 3 month followup MRI done. It's vital that she be vigilant! I was reading on the ependy site recently and the longest post-op survivor w/o reoccurence is 11 years. Now, not everyone who has had ependymoma tumors are members of the ependy group but it does give an indication of the seriousness of the illness. And to come out of surgery with NO deficits is almost unheard of!! I wish she realized how special she is. I ache for her and baby k.

And still no word on the paternity issue. In some way, I wish DS was the dad because then I could have more influence in k.'s well-being. On the flip-side, I know it will involve a lot of work and some day even possibly having her living with us permanently if we are her grandparents. If Kandyce continues in her destructive behavior, she will, someday, lose baby k. I'd like to be there as a constant, steady influence for her. We shall see...

On a happier note, the lilies are blooming their heads off! hurrah! I'll have lilies in bloom for the next two months- oh joy!!! Here is a new one for me, I think it is gorgeous, compliments of llilyfan.

This afternoon I need to get working on the parade stuff. As chairman again, I am behind in lining up announcers and judges, etc. I better get at it. Have a wonderful day all!
