I got up this morning at 4:30 am. M' is off for his very first Turkey hunt, and he is all decked out in camo. I made him a hot breakfast, and packed his lunch, and then drove him to the rendezvous point. He's off.
Three cups of coffee have not done their job, and I am facing a day of Zombie-ness.
This weekend was eventful.
We went to shop on Friday night. That was very fun. We went to the mall, and each of us had gift certificates to spend. I bought several things to wear in my new "gee-that's-a-double-digit" size. Clothes that actually fit are sure to be more flattering than squeezing myself into clothes that no longer do. D' bought socks. Socks are important to him, he is a sock-snob. M' bought cool clothes.
Saturday evening we went to see the Harlem Globe Trotters. That was very funny. The boys and I had a wonderful time.
Sunday was Sophie's sweet sixteen birthday party. She was in diapers only yesterday. Weird.
And last night was house church. I love house church. When it was time to leave, one of the girls shut two of the little boys into a car trunk. She's really old enough to know better...though why they climbed up there in the first place is beyond me. Unfortunately, someone locked the keys in the car. There was just no way to get them out! One of the children in said trunk was my own little D'. The two were panicing at first, as you might imagine. The did calm down. What else could they do? We had to wait for the locksmith to arrive. It was about half an hour, maybe a bit more. Very exciting. I'll bet they never do that again!
And then I was up at 4:30. It's gonna be a long day.

Oh dear! I think a half hour in a trunk and they'd be taking me straight to the loony bin as soon as I got out. That would just about kill me.
Here's some good news: your package is all ready to go to the post office! Only three weeks late... I'm such a good friend. Yikes!
Well Cathy, do not ever go in for an MRI!
Ah the lessons of rascally youth! Bet he brags about it later!!!!
KJP
Totally an excellent story for D'to share with all his friends. I can't ever remember anything that exciting happening to me when I was young. If only I had hung out with kelly more....
I think KJP would fit in perfectely with our little house church. While the boys were locked in the trunk several of us women were in the kitchen trying to decide if we should drink the margarita's outside or stay in? In the end we thought it best to drink inside just in case police assistance was needed. Never a dull moment, that's for sure. So KJP when are you coming to visit?
Kara, you make it sound like I would be part of an alibi! Make it a strawberry daqueri and we will see what I can do. Ha-ha-ha.
(I can now guarantee it would not be this year... and probably by the time I could M would still be locking D in the trunk! Or glueing turkey feathers to his back side!)
Kells, tell M fall turkey is better! At least in the southwest.
I can do strawberry daqueri's...or mojito's, or cosmos, or martini's.....
Whenever you can make it...we'll save one for you. Unless of course you come in the winter then we put the mixed drinks away and stick to the red wine. :) Malbec anyone?
