Lies of Ommission

My daughter learned a lesson in Lies of Ommission today. Friday night she slept at her friend's house and apparently they went to see a movie...no big deal, right...but when you don't tell your mother before you go, or call her when you are going or tell her when she calls to say good night and she has asked you what you did...that's a lie of ommission. What's the worse thing you can do to a 14 year old...take her cell phone. It's in a "safe place" for a few days and hopefully lesson learned.

Graham had a bball game on Sat against the other KMBA team...big rivalry, so apparently there had been a little trash talk at school between the boys. Testosterone kicking in early! Anyway, Graham's team pulled out a win...they were pretty excited. To tell the truth I was a little excited as well. I admit that I stacked the last line but I did that first and worked the rest of the game around it. So no one played extra.

Elysia had a soccer game today and her team got creamed. They did not play their best but as I pointed out to Elysia, every time she battled for the ball, she won it and did something good with it.

We went to Josee's last night for candle light Valentines dinner...yummy roast beef and some birthday cake for dessert...guess when you turn 39 for the second time, you get two cakes...works for me!

Did make it to Halifax on Wed (yes, my birthday)...what a great day! Took the day off work and headed to Halifax wit Josee and mom. We had some retail therapy in mind. We met Patti and Reta for lunch at East Side Marios and I had some Linguine Chicken Tetrazini...Mike and I use to go there for lunch when he was off when we lived in Halifax. It was delish!! Josee and mom had the same and thoroughly enjoyed it. Reta even went back with her husband that night for his birthday supper and had it. Bruce (Reta's husband) and I share the same birth date...certainly not the same birth year :) Bruce is much older than me! I like to remind him that he's the same age as my mother.

Gotta go and eat some ham and potatoe salad...mmmm...my favorite!!
