We had Family night last night. We met up for dinner and then went to see
Ghost Rider. The movie was fine, but the dinner was much, much better. I swear
my family are some of the funniest people ever!
My parents were telling us this story about how they went to bed the other
night. My dad, who usually falls asleep in about three seconds was laying there
wide awake. A few minutes goes by, his mind racing, and he says to my mom “are
you awake?". My mom jumps a little and says, "oh no, I had just
drifted off to sleep". Dad says back “My mind is racing, I am just not
tired at all!". So mom (totally being my mom and always being up for
talking) starts telling him about her plan for the flower beds. She is just
talking away when she hears my dad say "Shhhh...It’s time to sleep
now". Mom, a little taken aback says, "so, did you just wake me up to
tell me it was time to sleep?!?!" Dad just says "Shhhhhhhhh..."
Then he starts snoring!!! Mom, of course is now wide awake thinking about her
flower beds. She actually laid there for half an hour then got up to take a
Tylenol PM! My parents just crack me up.
The entire night was filled with stories and laughing. There was even a
little political debating going on (never should have told my parents about my
liberal side). We then headed to the movie, which in my opinion was a little
over done. Mom and Boo had issues with the ghosts and what not, but I would not
ever call it scary. It wasn't anything I want to own...or really ever see again,
but the movie doesn't really matter. We had a wonderful night hanging out with
the entire family. Perfect!
I can relate to your mom, no doubt! This post reminded me about your wedding present... let's get that planned!
