I ended up phoning the police last night after mam phoned saying Kay's dad was banging on the front door trying to get in. I could hear him over the phone and I'm sure mam wanted me to go up and confront him which wasn't going to happen believe me. I told her to stay inside while I phoned the police which I did then phoned her back until they came. She kept going on about how she'd done nothing to encourage him, this is despite Kay telling me that he'd slept at mam's house on Monday night, and you know I would say that was encouragement right there. Anyway, the police came and she put the phone down so I could hear what she was saying, at which point she told them she was fine, she didn't know why I'd phoned for them and crap like that. She then hung up on me. Needless to say she'd been drinking. More fool me for getting involved I guess. Add that to the powercut the night before and the nights have been fun around here I tell you.

But things weren't all bad yesterday. I went to the teacher/parent meeting and despite getting the steely eye from Mrs Glencross things went fine. Though I'm still amused that she used my first name when the other parents are Mr or Mrs. Corey is doing fantastically well, he's been moved up a group in maths, is doing great in english and she's very happy with his progress, which is wonderful. I'm so proud of him. Reading through his work it seems he's got a thing for wizard and kidnapping stories, a Harry Potter fan in the making I think.

After that we drove to the coast as it was a nice night. We picked up the MiL and went to our favourite beach and it was just so beautiful. It was late, about 8:30 then and Corey and I were the only ones on the sand. He was wave dodging as he still had his uniform on but I went for a paddle and you know the water was freezing but it didn't seem to matter as the wet sand sucked at my feet while Corey and I laughed and dodged the waves as the ocean turned dark as the sun set.

I also changed my journal yesterday as I thought it was time for a change, so I made a new banner, added some components and I'm pretty happy with it. Look here if you'd like to see.

Boo at the police business. :/

God, I want to live near the ocean, too. [sigh]

Chriiiiiis! Pretty. :))

Ohhh you added a google search. That has to be the most perfect addition ever lol

And your mam is... there's no word, really.

So you didn't get corner time, then? Good for you lol

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Wait... there seems to be a sort of... band of colour? Grey under the banner. Can you see it?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Man, so there is. It's not there when I look in Firefox but is in IE.

What it is is a transparent banner to give a space between the banner and the navigation bar. At least it's supposed to be transparent. I'll have to try and fix it. I may modify the colours too, they're getting a little greeny as I'm using LJ *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I had to have a google search in there when I saw the code for it, like you said it's the perfect addition *g*

Mam is annoying as hell. Kay came after I'd posted and said mam had been flirting with him all night which is why he followed her home.

I didn't get corner time, just a steely eyed look then things were fine ;)

The banner is absolutely gorgeous. Great job!

As for your mom *shakes head* ... *sigh* ... wish she'd just leave you alone, ya know?

*clings*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it wasn't the best time last night I have to admit.

I love the ocean so much, I know I'm lucky to live within easy driving distance of it.

He really is! I love him so much!

How are you, honey? Feeling better about things?

[agent99.livejournal.com]

Imagine that, a layout that dosn't suck! I wouldn't know what that's like hehe. Good job :D I dig the colors.

Sigh. Your mom sounds a lot like a friend or two of mine. You just..yeah. You don't know what to do about it anymore, your just like "..."

But at least your icon is hot. Because Chris clearly = happiness.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Expect mail soon, btw.

I wish she would leave me alone too, as it is I get torn between not doing anything and leaving things alone knowing they could get a million times worse by doing so.

*clings to you*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'm sure your layout is just fine, you have great taste in men so that surely means you have great taste full stop ;)

Yeah, you've got it in terms of mam. At this point it's just a case of carrying on the best you can because things won't change and you just run out of ideas.

Chris is indeed hot, and you have to happy when that much hotness is around. He makes me smile and that's a good thing :D

How are you doing, honey? It seems you haven't been around for ages.

[agent99.livejournal.com]

Awwh. Well, it's okay. I dig it, it's just kind of boring. I get bored easily with layouts and stuff though. I'm horrible. I change wallpapers at least 3 or 4 times a month. And I used to be worse! Yet I can fawn over the same guy for freakin' years, so I guess that's at least a good sign.

It's true. It's sort of like, why fret? You can't really make people change or see how silly they're being. It sounds so mean, but you do get to the point when you just have to put your hands up and go "Whatever!" you know? It dosn't mean you care less, but you can't drain yourself by caring more than they're willing to about themselves.

Exactly. It's cheesy sounding but if I'm feeling kinda blue or something, all I gotta do is pop in a DVD or whatever and I'm all set. Just stick Reel Nsync in and my day is made.

Ah I know sweetie. Sorry :| I've just been going through a lot. Between the breakup with my girlfriend and my aol being stupid and all of that, I've been a smidge MIA. I should be around a whole lot more, this place isn't as drama-filled as it is over at greatestjournal.com. :\

[digital-diva.livejournal.com]

Squee! Mail! I love mail! Most especially from you!

And I was totally gonna get on IM to talk to you, but I don't have much time.

How's tomorrow morning?

*cops a little feel while you're clinging to me*

Mmmmmm. Nice *wiggles eyebrows*

[ephemera.livejournal.com]

I have absolutely no idea what to say re your mam. just hugs for you.

your evening on the beach sounds amazing though and Chris! Pretty!

[saba1789.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry about the trouble with your mam. *hugs tight*


But it's great that Corey does so well at school *cheers* and the evening at the beach sounds again very wonderful. *is so jealous*

I like the layout! But I'm surprised - you like Chris? That's pretty recent, isn't it? Or you just don't talk about it much. *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

There's not much you can say really, but it's a new day and really I'm not going to dwell.

*hugs you tight*

It really was an amazing evening, I had a lot of fun, it could have been a little warmer though *g*

He is pretty! I don't know about the green though, it's making me seasick ;)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thanks, honey. *hugs you back*

I'm so proud of how hard Corey works and yeah, now it's warming up a little I'll be at the beach a lot. You'll get sick of my posts about it I bet *g*

But I'm surprised - you like Chris?

I do! He's gorgeousbeautifulprettysexyhot! ;)

[rikes]

*hugs*

a Harry Potter fan in the making I think.

Ahahaha. That's what happens when you have fannish parents :).

I really like the new layout. Chris!

[iconis.livejournal.com]

For the time being, yeah. Lots of stuff in my head - thank god for therapy, I tell you. ;) Thanks for asking, sweets. [smoochy hugs]

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Did you already change it? Cause it disappeared. Great banner, btw lol

[castalie.livejournal.com]

And re Corey doing good? Of course he does, he's your son - sounds logical to me *kisses*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bettina_/]

Ohhh, very nice layout!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

[raynedanser.livejournal.com]

Pretty!!! I absolutely adore your banner. Truly yes. And the colors are spectacular. :-D Nice and springy!!

RE your mam... I have no words of wisdom, though I wish I did. *cuddles*

Glad Corey is doing so well in school. YAY!!! (I have a meeting with Little Guy's teacher today *crosses fingers*)

[saba1789.livejournal.com]

Looks like you have a good reason to be proud. Of him and of yourself and James for raising him well :-) .

You'll get sick of my posts about it I bet

Oh no, at least I can live vicariously through you this way. *g*

He's gorgeousbeautifulprettysexyhot!

Heh, he really is! I quite like him myself ;-) .

[turps33.livejournal.com]

We do the best we can raising him, that's all we can do really. I'm just glad it seems to work *g*

I can't imagine how anyone can't like him :)
