DB in NJ Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I spent the morning worrying about Becky. She lived through her surgery. (If you have no clue what I'm talking about, it's in my Very sad tonight thread). Came home from co-op to find out my 13 yo niece passed out today; my sister was hysterical worried about her. She's fine now. My 9 yo has chicken pox. Then, as I'm sitting here enjoying the peace and quiet and CALM, the neighbors start SCREAMING at each other. This *never* happens here. Ever. DH goes out to try to break it up and keep everyone calm. Neighbor 1 hits Guy 2 with a metal pipe (Colonel Mustard with a lead pipe in the conservatory ;) ). Me? a) call 911 then b) open mouth, insert peanut M&M's. :glare: What a day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oak Knoll Mom Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I read it as your niece passed *away* today. As I continued to read, I realized that you said she passed *out*. That's much better than passing away!:grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
