Update

I have not had much to write about. Things have been going well for both Michael and I, so I am just checking in. Last week at work was a total bear...I wanted to rip the next parent's head off who said "I am his/her parent, but I am his/her friend first...so I believe him/her, what proof do you have?"(and believe me, they don't care what proof I have). Seriously!! What happened to the parents who the kids would rather be thrown in jail than the parents called because there would be some responsiblity at home for their actions...thanks Mom & Dad!...you are the real good parents the world needs more of! I see that so often in the high school, parents who are trying to be friends more than parents.

Anyhow, last week was frustrating. To top it off, as I was driving home from Phoenix in my patrol car Friday, since I was there for work related training, I was almost hit by a stray tire. A woman pulling an old 5th wheel litterally lost the entire tire and rim while I was a few feet behind her in the lane next to her, the tire and debris from the dragging 5th wheel flew all over the place. That week at driving training in the police academy paid off and there was no damage to my patrol car. I of course had to stop to assist, and she insisted someone slashed her tire...it took me while to make her realize the entire tire/rim was gone... it wasn't flat...it bounced very high right by me as it flew off her 5th wheel and down the interstate. She was a little loopy too...it has been a week full of colorful fruit loops!!
