KG's Hideaway

Believe it or not, this is the first real "party" that Ryan has gone to since starting highschool. She's a good kid, for the most part, and stays away from that scene but when we were out shopping yesterday she ran into a girl she goes to school with and decided that she'd like to go to her party. She's pretty upfront with me about things so these are the rules given to her:

1) If there is any, ANY alcohol involved she doesn't get in trouble as long as she calls home and asks for a ride.

2) If the driver of the car she's in has even had a SIP of alcohol she has to call home and get a ride. We'd also be willing to take the driver and their car home without saying anything to that person's parents.

Basically, we tell the kids that we don't want them to drink, but if they do we will not punish them if they handle themselves appropriately after the fact. Lucky for me, Ryan doesn't like alcohol but never doubt the power of peer pressure.

So she'll be home around 12:30 (little over an hour from now) and we'll see if she does what's expected. I have faith.

Today, we pretty much spent the whole day on the yard. I'm so damn tired of it. It's the biggest reason I want to sell this house. It takes forever and a day to do the yard. Today, I did the weed eater thing and Craig mowed. I'm calling in a tree company to take out a few of the trees because they just choke out the yard and front of the house.

Kyra just sat and watched us work today.
