Evil Supervisor is dead in the water. Nothing is set yet, and legal matters are unclear so I cannot talk about it and probably won't again until everything is over, but that may be several months. At any rate, she is going down in infamy, which is quite a feat at my company, and will never ever be my boss again. Good riddance. And long live the new Supervisor in training - my officemate Corina!!! My company is even going to put her through school which she is very excited about and I am so so proud of her. Speaking of school, mine is going fantastic. I almost have straight A's at the moment. I signed up for my classes for Spring, and found out I cannot retake Algebra OR the review. So, after 18 years I have to go straight into Algebra 2??? I have to see a counselor to see what to do, but if I can't get into them then I guess I'll just be studying out of Spike's Algebra book this semester. So now my Spring schedule is: History 2, Environmental Science, Survey of American Literature B, and World Literature. I will probably drop World Literature, but we'll see. And now, my darling children. Actually, Buffy is being good at the moment, so I have no story about her. But Spike... Oh Spike. I think another grey hair just sprouted as I typed his name. We signed him up to go to Sacramento this weekend on a church sponsored community service trip. Hundreds of kids from all over will go to Sacramento and either paint houses or do stuff with the elderly, etc. Then Saturday night was to be a big Christian Rock concert and a dance. As I was driving him to church for the trip Friday I suddenly realized I was giving him up to spend 2 nights in a hotel where there would be GIRLS. I begged him on the drive there, "Please, Please, PLEEEEEASE, don't touch the church girls! PLEASE, Spike. Just do your work and go to the concert and have fun and PLEASE don't touch the church girls!" His answer: "No, Mom, of COURSE I won't touch the church girls! Never! Ever! I would never DREAM of touching the church girls! Absolutely NOT!" So before they left the leader got all the kids together and told them there would be NO GIRLS in the boys rooms, and NO BOYS in the girls rooms, not for ONE MOMENT, and if anyone was caught, they would be calling their parents and sent home. Now I personally have no intention of driving 3 hours to Sacramento to pick Spike up in the middle of the night and you would think Spike would know that. So for some reason I just believed that I would not be getting a call... Saturday night. Scott and I were sound asleep in bed and my cell phone started going off. I have no idea what time it was, could have been 10pm, could have been 3am. I scrambled out of bed but by the time I got to the phone it was off. So I went through the missed calls and didn't recognize the number, but since Spike was away, and Buffy was also away at her aunt's house in Modesto I figured I better call and see who it was. Spike answered. "Uh yeah, Mom, Um, no everything is okay, yeah, it's all okay, um... well I don't really know why I have to call you so here's Lillian." He put the church leader on the phone. Well. They found 3 girls from our church in Spike's room. My heart dropped into my stomach as I wondered what he had done and how I was ever going to show my face in church again and then the leader says, "And I am pretty sure that Spike had nothing to do with it, I think it was all the girls, but we have to call you anyway. We're not sending anyone home, but I am making them call their parents, because you know, this could be a lot of trouble, but I want you to know that I don't think it was Spike's fault, I think it was entirely the girls." "Okay," I said, "And Lillian... good luck to you," as I thought how I was never never EVER going to chaperone a trip like that. And then I wondered how my son, who manages to get away with everything here at home by putting on his happy sweet innocent face and saying all the right things, managed to pull this off with a church youth leader - who happens to be an adult and a mother of two teens. It's most probable that nothing happened in the room. I know those girls, and while they may have crushes on Spike, I know they are not close to Spike's type - other than being girls. And I thought back to my teenage days when I went on a band trip to El Paso and somehow ended up in a room that adjoined a room full of boys. And our TV didn't work so we went next door and were sitting on their beds in our pajamas watching MASH on TV and the evil chaperone lady caught us and WOW was there hell to pay, even though we didn't understand why they were so upset since we were only watching TV. Now I understand, heh. So anyway, I'm sure it was innocent enough, but I cannot believe that A) Spike let the girls in after he was TOLD how much trouble he'd be in, by me AND the leader, and B) that he somehow managed to come off as perfectly innocent. Yes, I know - all the people who know me in real life are going to say he gets this talent from me. That still doesn't make me worry less about what the future is going to bring, heh. Probably makes me worry more. Okay, that's it for an update, and back to writing essays for me.
