go at the State Fair? So glad your whole family could be together today. I know you all had a great time, but what did you see, do and of course, what did you eat? LOL!

But my night ended on kind of a sad note. I ended up with a bad sinus headache and dd called me in tears. She hates her roommates and the living situation so bad. She rents a house with 4 other people and the others are SO irresponsible. She came home one night to find the house unlocked, the lights ALL on, and the TV blasting and NO ONE home! She was fierious! The other roommates all have parents that are paying for EVERYTHING (rent, utilities, school, etc) and dd is doing most of this on her own. Her schooling we help with but the rest she does on her own. She is SO responsible and having the others not be is really upsetting her. She says they party ALL the time and are so noisy that she can't sleep or do homework. They make fun of her when she doesn't want to party cause she has to work early the next morning or has a class. I tried to comfort her and told her to keep her eyes and ears open for anyone else that is looking for a roommate. I told her not to nag them and just follow behind and turn things off. The more nagging you do the more they will try to do to make you mad. Its mostly the guys that are doing this. You have to understand, my dd is a real sweetheart but she is also very high strong and WILL NOT allow anyone to step all over her. She knows what she wants and she goes for it. When others don't cooperate or act stupid, she lets them know! So I told her she needs to do her best to tone it down a bit. But I hate doing that! I hate telling her to be someone else in order to keep peace. You know? She loves school so thats a good thing. I told her to try to do most of her studying there where its peaceful. She has a lock for her bedroom door so at least she can keep others out while shes away. But once those bills start coming in, she is not going to be able to afford it and she can only do so much! We have a son in college also and it isn't easy helping two and maintaining our own household. I think all of this added to my already headache and turned it into a full blown whopper. I took a Motrin Sinus headache pill and went to bed. I sure hope things improve. Time will tell, I guess.
But anyway, you were asking about our state fair trip and thank you for asking. We really enjoyed the day together. My kids, as you all know, are my entire life!
I had just read your initial post before I went into the shower. Sure glad to hear your DD has a plan of action and hope it works out for her. It sure is difficult when you're living with roomates with different ideas than your own and also when you're picking up your own bills and they're not.
My DD had some bad experiences with roomates also. She lived with a bunch of party animals suite mates too. Fortunately she changed roomates and although they lived barricaded in their room for most of the year they at least had each other. Those girls unfortunately weren't going to listen to reason about anything. It was their first time away from home and they pulled out all the stops! The stories still make my hair stand on end!
Good luck to her! She's one level headed and wonderful sounding young woman! Wonder where she got that from!
