The Cop and I...

Ok this story starts back in november, I think... I went to pick up Hannah from gymnastics decided that I would drop Josh off at Arkrod to turn off the wheels, and I would pick him back up when I came through with Hannah. I got to gym. and picked up Hannah and took off, it wasn"t long and I realized I had a flat tire. I pulled into Hudson's and called Josh (who is at work vehicle-less). He said go in and buy some fix a flat and when you get to arkrod I will change your tire or patch it for you. OK , so I bought fixaflat, put it in and took off. I made it to the mall parking lot, you know the dark side where Quality Cleaners is, and pull over. I call josh back and he says well, I will walk up there (About a mile and a half) and change your tire. SO I tell him, no I will change the tire, I just wanted you to know what was going on. He said ok call me if you have any more problems...So I get out my donut, and start looking for the jack... there is no jack (oh yeah, I remember Josh taking it out to fix his trailer...) So, I call Josh back, I cant change the tire because I dont have a jack. So he decides to walk home to get his truck, so he will have a jack to come help me..meanwhile, back at the car.. (I am in my work skirt, Hannah in a leotard) Hannah decides she needs to pee. so we run over to the mall(me thinking the whole time josh is going to show up and we aren't going to be here and he is going to freak.) and the doors are locked... at 8:30... sad... so I tell her she has to hold it. We get back to the car and wait. Then here comes a cop, he turns his spot light on me, guess he thinks i am up to no good. Asks if he can help me, I say yes, let me borrow your jack, so i can change my tire. Sorry Ma'am I cant do that. WHat??? If there is an emergency, I would have to leave and that would leave me without a jack.(ok jerk, how long does it take to change a tire? 5 minutes max?) He asks if i have anyone i can notify so I tell him about Josh going to get his truck. Then this brilliant plan pops into mind. Can you go pick him upand take him home so he can get here faster? The cop agreed.lol so there he goes ... Skip to Josh... he is walking home probably cursing me for dropping him off and who knows what else.. then a cop cars pulls up and asks if he is Josh Smith??(LOL) so Josh says yes, (probably really confused.) The cop proceeds to tell him about me sending him to Josh.(LOL) anyways, so the tire gets fixed and everything is good. ok Skip forward to 2 weeks ago..... I am on my way to get Hannah from gymnastics. (again...) I have my MP3 player in my ears and I am cruising. I am almost to the square, when all of a sudden there are blue lights behind me..SHIT! So, I pull over, SHIT, I am in front of the only fire hydrant on the whole damn road, cant move because he is behind me. I go to unroll my window..and SHIT, I forgot, my window doesnt work. So I sit there, do I open my door? or will he pull a gun on me if I do, or do I sit here and look like I am going to be difficult? (SHIT) So I wait, better safe than sorry, I dont feel like being shot. I put my hands on the steering wheel so he can see they are empty (no more COPS for me) and then I open my door, and tell him about the window he laughs and says ok. so he wants to know if I know why he pulled me over? Ha its not my good looks, so what did I do wrong? was I speeding? possible, do I admit it? what if that wasnt the reason? So I say no. I was pulled over for a tail light that is out. ok, I can get out of this I think. Oh I didnt know... Blah blah blah.. He is real nice and tells me no big deal..Oh did I mention, this is the SAME cop as above?? (and I think he remembers, I mean how can you forget, I sent the poor man to pick up my walking husband....) <--- them guys gotta stick together right?? lol any ways license and insurance please. ok I got those... Let me see..... Where the hell is my license...SHIT.... Oh yeah, Johnathan put it up earlier when we went to doctor.. ok here it is... ok where is my insurance??? SHIT! I am flipping through everything in my glove box... including tampons... and he says.. you know, when those are expired, they are no good and you can get rid of them... NO SHIT! but where is the current one??? Cant find it anywhere. SHIT! now I know I am going to get a ticket. so he says hold on and he steps back and runs my license. thank GOD it came back clear and he says I can go.. WAit, What? no ticket. ok! He says make sure you get it first thing in the morning and get that light fixed! Yessir! Hopefully I will not have many more encounters with this poor man! (and I bet he went home and said the same) The End!

Johnathan

Yes, I know this is signaling out one kid, but I have some stories to tell you, the boy kills me. ok first of all, he is a real prankster and likes to trick you. Well one day he said something silly and I asked if he was pulling my leg. Which led to the discription of what pulling some ones legs means. So now, he only half has it, he will tell you something silly and then run around the room literally pulling your leg. He just doesnt get it and I think it is so funny. Also, he thinks that my knee is tickleish. ok it is, but not with his little hands, but I do this high pitched fake laugh-squeel and he beams. He has just tickled mom. I thought he realized that I was joking, but then the other day Kaleb is trying to tickle me, and I am holding out on him. And here comes Johnny. He tells Kaleb that He can make mom laugh, so he tickles me.. and of course I laugh my obnoxious, high pitched, squeel of a laugh, Johnathan is proud..lol ok ok one more Johnny story. Johnny is missing his 3 top teeth. He is starting to look like an old man, I will try to add a picture if I can get a good one. The other night we went to eat at Dixie Cafe, we had gift certificates from christmas.Johnathans favorite thing to eat there is fried corn on the cob..hehe get it he is missing his top 3 teeth. we watched him for about ten minutes trying to get his(Missing) teeth into this corn so he could take a bite. oh my sides were splitting. It was so funny. I ended up having to cut the corn off the cob so he could eat it. it was definately priceless. Kaleb tells him we are going to have to start chewing his food for him. It pisses him off. lol

Well, what do you know, a new year, a new me... naw really its still me, nothing has changed yet.I wrote up a list of new years resolutons, but have already scratched about half of them off...lol. Some just went to the "maybe next year list." Some went straight to File 13. ( the trash can) The kids all had a wonderful christmas. We have had lots of fun during the holidays, but I am real glad the kids go back to school on Monday. I took Hannah to the eye doctor this past monday and she got glasses. I think she looks real cute in them, and I think she thinks so too, but of course she is worried that the kids at school will make fun of her. I told her the story of when mom took me to get my glasses, if you don't know this story I will tell you. I didnt want glasses, I wanted to go to contacts straight off the bat. but mom wouldnt go there with me, so the whole time we were at the eye doctors I cried. I wouldnt pick glasses, because I thought mom would feel bad for me and cave. She kept on trying to get me to pick some glasses I would like, but instead I cried. So she picked for me. which was ten times worse, because as every teenager knows, mom has no style. I don't care whose mom you are or how hip you are, you have no style. Any ways this cracked Hannah up, but the moral of the story was if you dont pick them, I will. Well I didnt have half the problem with my daughter that my mom had with her daughter.lol

She doesnt look to pleased in this photo, but she is doing quite well with them.

Kaleb's hair is getting longer and redder by the day! lol

I love this grin of Johnny's it doesn't get any bigger than that, and it's all because of a hat at gloves...

Anyways, more at a later date....
