That would be why my son spent the night in the city jail Monday night.
No kidding, the legal document said he was "hooting & hollering".
Only in the South is it illegal to use your "outside" voice, well, outside.

New bed
We went and got a new KING SIZE bed. For the first week I kept waking up several times a night and would wonder what hotel I was in then I would see my alarm and realize I was home :)
I got a new down comforter and a duvet set....I love the new colors that we are going to do our room in.
We are going to paint the walls blue & white.
We color matched the tan and painted the bath that color.

Cell phones
I took my boys yesterday to upgrade their cellphones.
My youngest knew exactly which phone he wanted and didn't take long at all.
My oldest on the other hand, must have taken a "drama" pill before we left.
I told him to pick a phone and he said "I want the IPhone." to which I replied, "No way, pick something else."
He then proceeded in with begging, pleading and somewhat whiny tirade of "I'll get a job", "if I don't pay, you can turn my phone off". To which I responded, "You have had 2 months to get a job, which you haven't, what makes you think I would trust you to pay your bill every month??"
At that point he exclaims in a very loud voice, "I have been talking about getting an IPhone for the last month, if I can't have an IPhone, I'll just go home and slit my wrists (deep sigh)".
The guy that was setting up JC's phone looks up at that point looks at Jules and asks, "Dude, I like your jacket, can I have it?", which startles Jules and he looks up at the guy and says "Thanks man".
The Sales guy then says, "No really, if you are going to kill yourself, I want your jacket, it's really sweet."
Jules really had no idea how to respond so he just said again, "Thanks man".
At that point Jules walks off and we complete the transaction for JC's phone.
Jules comes back over to us and exclaims that the only other phone worth getting is the one JC got and he doesn't want the same phone as his brother. JC (being the diplomat that he is) suggests we go over to the AT&T store and check there, that they would have more phones.
So off we go to the AT&T store, JC thanks me and kisses me by (He had drove the truck to Best Buy so he could go to a karate match that his friend was in) and Jules and I get in Grandma's car and drive over to the AT&T store.
After about 20 minutes of fretful looking, he finally finds a phone that he could live with and we get it.
I am so very thankful that the renewal contracts are only up every two years. I just don't think I could do it any more than that!

Bringing Mom home for Christmas...
Well, I flew to Ohio on Friday morning and Jackie picked me up at the airport in Cincinnati. When I called her to see where she was at after I got off the plane, she said she was at the luggage pick up. I think she was going for the whole Kodak moment by meeting me at the luggage pickup and giving me a big hug. I followed the signs to the luggage pick up area and....No Jackie. I call her again and she was insistent that she was at the pick up between 1 & 2, I tell her well that's where I was and she was not there, I finally ask what terminal she's at and ...unfortunately, she was waiting at the luggage pick up in terminal 3 and I, well, I was at the luggage pick up in terminal 2 :(
She has to get her car out of the parking garage and drive around to pick me up :)
So we get on the road and she says there is a traffic back-up on 75 and should we take the by-pass? I tell her go for it. I then say that I'm hungry and she is too.
Guess what? the first exit we come to has a FRISCHES BIG BOY...yummmm my favorite!
She got breakfast and I, of course, had the Junior Big Boy w/fries and salad bar....I wanted a nap BAD after that.
We got back on the road and got to Mom's around 1pm. We visited for a few minutes. Mom wanted to watch the rest of her soaps so Jackie and I decided to go to Kroger's so I could get some Skyline Chili to bring home with me. On our way we decided to stop at Linda Goodpaster's...I have not seen her since before we moved to Louisiana 5 years ago!
She looked really good, we had a great visit but couldn't stay real long. We left and headed to Krogers for my Chili...(Rob LOVES Skyline).
After we got back to Mom's we loaded her car with just about everything except the kitchen sink! Really though, she didn't bring all that much considering she's staying for 3 1/2 months.
Jackie left to go home and clean up a little (she claims her house was messy). Mom and I relaxed a little then called in Marion's pizza to pick up.
We went to Marion's and got the pizza's and then headed to Jackie's (during the 5:00 rush hour) Brilliant plan of mine, NOT.
We finally get to Jackie's and her house is all decorated with lights outside and her tree is in the front window...it was so pretty...My baby girl, all grown up...makes me want to cry a little!
We ate the pizza, visited with Shan, Jackie and Vincent for a while. Shan gave me a beautiful wooden snowman! and a box of summer sausage & cheese! She's so nice...I hate that I didn't think to get her anything :(
Mom and I headed back to her house about 7pm. I called Vanessa to let her know I was at mom's and she should stop by to see me.
Of course she came over, unfortunately, I fell asleep before she got there, so the first 20 minutes or so, I was trying to wake up enough to pay attention :)
We had a really good visit, albeit, a really late visit! She didn't leave until midnight and Mom & I were getting up at 5am to get ready to leave! I loved seeing Vanessa and wish I could have had more time with her.
Well, Mom and I put our excited selves to bed. I woke up around 6:18am (or so I thought due to the clock in the room I was in said it was 6:18am) and freaked out a little! I went straight into mom's room and laid on her bed..she woke up, patted my face and I said "It's just like Christmas morning!, I'm so excited!"...She called me silly and got up. It was actually 5:18am...she had never set the clock back in the room I was sleeping in.
We both got ready, she checked her list of things to do, checked that list at least 3 more times and we were finally on the road at 6:30am!
It was a good drive, only took 13 1/2 hours, the dogs were awesome, never once barked, had an accident in the car, moved around...they were really good.
I drove the whole way so Mom would not get stressed or upset...
We pulled in my driveway at around 7pm Louisiana time (8pm Ohio time)
We carried all her stuff inside, put our jammies on and finally relaxed...which translates as Me:sleeping on couch, Mom:watching tv.
So far, I love having my mom here!
She actually went to church this morning with us (totally didn't expect that!) and then we had lunch at the Olive Garden, came home, decorated the Christmas tree and now her and Rob are watching a movie.
I love my family so much at times it's a little scary.....
