Daddy's Town Fair

Not much has happened in the way of the school board lately, of course we haven't scheduled her IEP meeting yet. I suppose once that's done and over with there will be a blog entry 5 miles long. I'm so sick of fighting.

So yesterday after dropping of Faith to her Daddy, I run over to Family Dollar to pick up some "must haves" and actually found quite a bit of "don't neccessarily need, but want" and decided to live on the edge and pick those up. I needed something to do till I had to make the drive to Pittsburgh. Hey, that's what happens when he (Joel) goes out of town and leaves me here all alone. I do the obvious......blow money.

So I'm browsing the store and my cell phone rings "Dueling Banjo's", the ringtone I have set for Tim....ummmm, what other ringtone would I apply to him? Fits perfectly. So, I pick up and he says to me, "You'll never believe what Faith and I just did!". I was a bit wierded out by him calling just to give me the latest scoop on his day, but I played along. My comment was, "Ok, I'm scared...but what?". His response? He says, "Faith and I just took a ride on a helicopter!". Faith's been on a helicopter before, not sure if she remembers anything as she was flown out because of seizures. He said she LOVED it! That's so funny. My little rebel. Now me? There ain't a million dollars.....well, I dunno...let's go a bit lower when talking cash, eh? You couldn't give me a hundred dollars to get on an airplane OR especially a helicopter. Now see, that's where Faith and I share something. I was life flown to a hospital back in '92 as a result of a car accident, but I don't even remember the accident let alone the helicopter. Nope. I'd HAVE to be unconcious to fly.

Anyways, Lost Creek (the town Tim lives in) was having their wonderful annual hillbilly ho-down yesterday and I suppose they were giving helicopter rides. I dunno. I try not to think of everyone in that town in one place at the same time. It scares me. I had to go to that friggin thing year after year and the visual memories are haunting. Well....maybe not that bad, but you get the idea.
