2 weeks ago, I was imagining my friend Carmon coming here for a visit. I knew her kids would be out of school for winter break(for ya'll in the south, this is an extra holiday for the children in the thick of winter), and I was so hoping that they could come. But for the last month, she had said that she couldn't find any cheap flights. I suggested just driving, but she claimed that they had plans at home for winter break.Daniel had a party planned, he also had a snow tubing trip to go on. Then she said she had to work as well. There was just no way. So she claimed. What I didn't know, was that she had called my husband about a month ago, and told him she was indeed coming, and he needed to make sure I didn't know. She also informed my daughter, Alexx. So, the scheme began.......... I came up with all these scenarios that I thought would actually happen. But she continued to claim that they couldn't come. MIke played along very well, and even teased me at times. So, last Friday night, which was the 15th of February, I called her one last time. I asked her if she was on her way down here following her Pastor, as he was coming down with his family that night. She said that she wasn't. I told her that I wouldn't bother her anymore about it as I had been pestering her for a month to find a way here. So, Saturday came, and for me was a very depressing day. I didn't even get dressed. I decided it was a good day to catch up on American Idol. I had about 4 or 5 episodes recorded, so I found a spot in the living room, plopped myself down, and wallowed in self pity....... Toward the end of the evening, one of the episodes cut out before we found out who the last girl to make the final 24 was. So I called Carmon to ask her. She didn't answer, but texted me back that she had gotten called into work, and she would call me at 9pm. Then she texted me back, said she got my voice mail, and told me who won. Then she started chatting with me about who I liked on Idol and who I wanted to win. I told her I wanted to win, but she could too.(we are too old to audition, but it's a nice dream). Then she asked me what I was doing. I was actually online chatting with my mom. She asked me what I thought she was doing. Joking, I thought maybe she was on a break having a smoke(neither one of us smoke, it was just a sick joke, I laughed)I started to text her back that I actually thought she was on a flight here, but couldn't type fast enough when another message from her came throught. She said," I'm petting your dog." the next few events take place in about 30 seconds.What? I thought. My dog? Then I remembered that Mike was out walking Carly. Alexx was sitting innocently on the couch while my brain pistons began firing. My dog....my dog....outside....she is petting.....my dog....here...outside......(I throw my cell phone down, I spin around quickly in my chair, my arms extend out in front of me, I literally fly out of my front door) As I see the rental car, and Carmon's head, I scream. I am sure the neighbors thought something bad had happened ie; a murder, a robbery, etc. But no, it was just the best ending to a perfectly bummer of a day!!!!! She really was coming, well she was here. Her and her two boys. Wow!!!!!!!!! She was lying all that time. Wow!!!!!! It couldn't have been any sweeter. |
