Teenagers...grrrrrrrr..when they are a round life is never simple and you spend your time worrying what they are up too..
********
Take my 17 year old daughter: she stays at her boyfriends every weekend, as her brothers dont get on with him he doesnt come around very often, Any ways...she always sends a text message Monday morning to pick her up after i drop her brothers off at school..Mums taxi is already at the cab rank! Not a problem as its on my way home. She then gets ready and heads off to school.
********
But this Monday no text message.. Mmmm i think maybe she is walking or catching the bus, maybe she is going to school straight from boyfriends? Well 4pm that after noon, still no daughter.. Phone just rings out, no one at his place..Mmmm thoughts of accidents? car? traffic? can happen,,,,, she has run away? No she has it too good at home....She has been abducted?...mmmm nope no ransom money here.... She has been sexually abused and lying in hospital..yes my greatest fear!
********
Keep ringing..still no answer..
********
The on the tv big accident on M1 with a semi..great ex husband drives a semi and oldest son (19)he is on holidays at his place in Sydney, he does interstate trucking..was due to come home today...Oh great try ringing him, no answer...havnt heard from him in two weeks; panic about him now....later in night the accident involves a garbage truck,,, releif, he doesnt drive a garbage truck , even though he comes close to being regarded as garbage.....feel very sorry for those involved in the accident..
********

Oh so do I - and next time I am chaining the next daughter to me, so that she can't go out. LOL.

Oh Fran I can so relate to that. They just don't seemm to think you'd be out of your mind worrying about them, imagining all sorts of awful things have happened. And they ring and it's like hi I need to be picked up! Hang in there.
