A visit with grandma and Grandpa and cops

Ok so today was a busy day. We (being the girls) got up and showered and got ready for the day. Then Mom had to go to work for a couple of hours. When she got home all of us girls drove into Bakersfield to get some grocery's. We got so much food that Cheyenne and Shannon were covered in grocery's on the way home. Yes we bought so much stuff that it filled the trunk and the back seat. It was a sight to see. Anyway once we got home we picked up the boys and headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Carringtons house to have dinner with them and visit a bit. It has been a very long time since I last saw them. I think I may have been about twelve or thirteen the last time I spent anytime with them. It was a nice visit and great to see them again. We got to catch up and really get to know each other again. It was great. I got to drive up there since mom had a slight headache and didn't want to drive. On the way home though she drove because I have night blindness, which for those who don't know is when you are driving at night all the lights of the street lamps and on coming cars , even the dim lights, blind you and it makes it very hard to drive, and I didn't really know the roads well enough to trust my driving. Anyway we were about half way down the mountain when all the sudden there were blue and red lights behind us. I told mom she was being pulled over and to pull over so she did. When the sheriff came up to the car I was expecting him to show up on the drivers side so when he came over to my side it scared me a little and I jumped. I said sorry for jumping but I wasn't expecting you to be there. He explained that at night that is what they do so they don't get hit by an oncoming car. Good reasoning if you ask me. Anyway mom asked him what was wrong and he said she was driving with her brights on and swerving a little in and out of the lane. So ya she was swerving a little but I didn't think to much and as for her brights she claimed she didn't realize they were on. Anyway the cop asked for her drivers licence and registration and insurance which I gave to him for her then he asked her to step out of the car and meet him at the back. She did so then all the sudden she got a little loud and so I am not under the influence of anything but a Tylenol I took about an hour ago. He didn't believe her and made her do five subriatity tests to prove she was sober. When they were done which was like twenty minutes the cop came up to my window again and asked if I had a licence and I said yes did he need to see it and he said no but that I was to drive the rest of the way home. I said that was fine and got out and went around to the other side of the car. He got in his car and left and I for warned everyone that I would be driving like a granny because of my night blindness. They didn't care. On the way home we stopped and picked up four movies at the red box and then got some gas and headed home. Once there we had to start putting the food away. But when I opened moms refrigerator there was literally no room for anything so we cleaned it out and man was there a ot of stuff in there that Pat just would not throw away. Stuff that was like a year old. Gross. Anyway we got that done and everything put away and mom went strait to bed then us kids headed our separate ways to watch our movies. Us girls watched The Lovely Bones first while the boy watch Ninja Assassins. After our movies were over the girls watched New Moon which I have seen like a hundred times but the boys were watching a movie called The Decent part two so I went and watched that with them. It was a scary movie. It even scared the boys which was so funny. Anyway now we are done and it is like 1:30 in the morning so I am off to bed. The memorial is tomorrow morning so I need to go to sleep. Oh ya I will post Pics of grandma and grandpa when I get back home.

Blog at you later.
