Still, that had to be a scary hour or two for you. <BR/><BR/>I'm with Laura, silly men. BF has done that with me -- we'll agree to meet at his house and he's not there. It's very odd but I rarely get notes either.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you had a fun weekend (after the Lifeline incident); the party sounds really funnnnnnnn.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you got to see your uncle and aunt but I'm sorry for your uncle. I know he must be hurting.

That is all too much. I...Holy freaking cow, woman. That is all too much. I'm so glad your mom was OK. Things happen for a reason sometimes. Even though this test run was crazy stressful, at least now you know what to fix and if it happens for real, you won't have to go through all that again. <BR/><BR/>I've had DH do that to me before, leave and not tell me where he's going. The worst was before we had kids, he'd still go out with the guys and would drink and stay out really late (like 3 a.m.+ late) and I'd worry & worry, b/c he always drove himself home despite me begging him not to. Finally, only through one of our marriage counseling sessions!, did he get the message that it wasn't OK to let me worry about him all night. Obviously your BF isn't doing anything that drastic to you! It was sweet of him to let you sleep. What is it with men and NOT leaving notes, though? Like it would kill them to write "Be back soon, xoxo, Me." I guess they are missing the note-leaving gene. ;)<BR/><BR/>Your fun times sound really fun. What joy you have in your life!Laura Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07916626845812229646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603236343539244152.post-49726574004668129272008-11-11T20:13:00.000-08:002008-11-11T20:13:00.000-08:00good heavens - mine was quite uneventful in compar...good heavens - mine was quite uneventful in comparison to all that scary stuff! <BR/><BR/>glad all was well in the end! <BR/><BR/>It is good that you have a system for her - and you are right - if she got in the habit of calling you and telling you her plans for the week - or even leaving it on voice mail - it would be safer.<BR/><BR/>I know two different people (that I actually KNOW) that both had mom's lay for 2+ DAYS before they were found - both lived and recovered - but the adult kids felt terrible that they suffered for so long.<BR/><BR/>Both fell and had broken hips/legs and couldn't get to phones - and had no check system of any kind. <BR/><BR/>One of the women was out in her barn (winter) near Bloomington - her two large dogs layed on her and kept her warm for 2 days. <BR/><BR/>When she didn't show up for her weekly hair appointment - beautician sent her own husband to check on her - all her kids lived out of town - she lived alone on a FARM - and they had no system in place.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.com
