OMG!!!! AND THE SURPRISES JUST KEEP ON COMING....
Last night, I had came home from a lloonngg Monday at work...just wanted to relax, have dinner with my family and mentally prepare for the rest of this week (as most of you know, my baby, MY BABY, will be a Senior next week....that's a whole other post, my emotions can't handle it all right now....) anyway, back to my story. I arrived home, went and visited with Momma and Daddy for a few minutes, really just went to get a few laughs because they took my Grandmother to the doctor yesterday and that's a story in it's self...so after I left their house, I went out to Pamela's (aka EmmaeRae's Mommy). Pamela, Susan, Whit and EmmaeRae were getting Yaw-Yaw (EmmaeRae's new kitten) situated in her new home. Pamela "looked" like she had been crying...and you know me, I jumped right in...
Me: What's wrong with you???
Pamela: I just don't feel good, I've got a headache.
Me: Are you pregnant? (jokingly)
Pamela: HA!
I head home to cook some potatoes (because Pamela is grilling some chicken). As I am cutting up the potatoes, I am thinking..."What in the world has Colby (aka EmmaeRae's Daddy) done to her...I know he rides around all day in his "big" truck and has lots of time to think, but he needs to realize she is at home raising a 2 1/2 year old that NEVER sits still." Boy, I was fuming...I was gonna call and give him alittle "heads up" on NOT making your wife cry. Because as his Aunt, that's my job...to keep him in line...whether he wants to hear it or not!!
Ok, so after they got Yaw-Yaw situated and Pamela finished grilling the chicken, they came over to eat. Me, Pamela, EmmaRae, Susan, Whit and Honeybun (aka Dustin, Whit's boyfriend) were sitting there eating a wonderful dinner...I look over and Pamela is waving her arm like something crazy...
Me: What are you doing?
Pamela: (innocently..) Nothing...
(Little did I know, she was making hand motions at Whit so they could "text" each other and leave me and Susan clueless to what was going on.)
Ok, back to dinner, because the food is so delicious and she can act crazy if she wants to...I'm hungry!
After we finish eating, Colby calls Susan and she walks outside...(and for those of you who don't know, I DON'T LIKE SECRETS THAT I'M NOT INCLUDED IN ON) I'm standing in the kitchen nibbling on a piece of chicken....and out of the blue....
Pamela: "I'm pregnant..."
Ok, I start crying...Whit, Pamela and Honeybunn are just looking at me like I'm crazy and....LAUGHING!! Apparently, I'm not the only one who visits other family members, just for that daily dose of laughter!!
Susan was outside on the phone with Colby, who was sharing the good news with his Mom and apparently Whit and Honeybun already knew the news, so that just left, poor, clueless me...
Congratulations Colby, Pamela and EmmaeRae!! Can't wait for the new Baby Odom to get here! Rae-Rae (aka EmmaeRae), you know Sissy (aka ME) will always love you the MOSTEST!!!
Hey Christy, I came straight to your blog after reading your comment on mine. I am so glad you have a blog and that now I can know what is going on in your life. Whitney is beautiful and I can't believe you have a senior! I will be reading!
