the weekend is here

Last night was my lame attempt to try to get the house fixed up for this weekend. I was juicing up the battery of the weed whacker and the automatic dustmop. Then I tried my hand at cleaning the bathrooms. Did you know that if you don't dust for years that dust turns into cotton? :)
You would not believe how thick the dust was in my mom's bathroom but believe me I attacked it like I was Rambo in the middle of a jungle chasing Charlie. Hey it's Memorial Day Weekend, I had to come up with a soldier story.
On that topic, the lady I work with has a son that's in the Army and she got quite a surprise at 2:30 in the morning. Her son came home for the weekend and she is just walking on a cloud today. As I've said before, everyone here is so nice and it makes personal moments like this feel great for all concerned. I mean I feel like my brother came home last night. God bless all those poor souls over there and all the guys and girls in the Armed Forces for putting their lives in jeopardy and defending our way of life. Anyway He's home and she said that on the way here some jerk actually drove them off the road and they ending up running into the guard rail. IN THEIR BRAND NEW CAR! I can't believe how crazy some people drive. They ending up getting stopped by a cop and he let them go with a warning. I guess good cops do exist. My last story is that he brought 2 of his friends with him and when she left for work this morning her home alert system sounded when she opened the door. Well one of the guys sat straight up looked around and went back to sleep. I guess he's well trained to wake up at the slightest alarm. Good Boy! LOL
Another cute story is we taped the last hour of American Idol to watch the season finale of Lost (Unbelievable) and when I got home we were gonna watch the end. Well she didn't find out who won and she was dying to see if her Taylor Hicks took home the prize. As we were watching she was saying stuff like "I have a bad feeling about this" and "he better win. I was dialing all night for 4 hours straight". Well of course I was saying stuff like "remember mom they are both winners" and "hey isn't it nice that they at least got cars". The big moments came when Prince came out and she says "Oh wow look its Prince!" For a second she forgot about her sweet Taylor. Then the real moment came and I swear I wish I had a video camera so you could see her face as her hands flew into the air and she screamed "OH OH I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! THEY GAVE IT TO HIM! OH OH!!!"It was so cute and funny, guess you'll just have to take my word for it.
So I will be heading home later on and finishing the bathrooms and then weed whacking the docks outside. Wish me luck!
