Goodbye Emeril's

We dropped the kids off at Wendy's and left for a night out (Luci screamed the entire time we were gone). However, Tony and I were able to leave the house alone tonight and eat at our favorite restaurant - Emeril's. It is the place we celebrated our engagement, our anniversary, birthdays and special occasions. Tomorrow - its doors close. I am sad. Apparently they were not making enough money down here. So sad. I am so very happy that we were able to get out, get dressed up and go eat there one last time. It was so nice. :-)

On our way out the door, Tony stopped to play a slot machine and won $300. Ah, good night. :-)

Seriously?

Today started off with me picking Keaton up from Head Start to take him to the base for his physical. For some reason, Head Start requires it. Whatever, right? So, we get there. He puts on the charm for his doctor (who he loves) and then we head down the hallway to the lab. Apparently, Head Start requires a blood test with said physical. I calmly tell Keaton that the doctor just needs to check his blood to make sure it is healthy. Keaton loses it. And, when I say loses it, I mean L-O-S-E-S it. I have never seen this child act so insane. It took four woman and a huge dude to hold him down. He screams "NO, NEVER!!!!!" Then finally got the blood. He then runs out of the lab, down the hall and around the corner (all while screaming his head off). Four nurses run after him and then around the other side and up the other hall. I just stood there in disbelief - and embarrassment. The doctor is able to calm him and then carries him to me. He looks at me and starts punching and slapping me! My sweet baby was beating me up! I was so horrified. I grabbed him and headed to the car. I called Tony and made him wait inside with the Head Start paperwork so the nurse could write down the blood test results. When we returned home, Keaton swore he would never act like that again - and in the same breath asked to play the video game. Seriously?? .... Needless to say he did not play the video game.

Serta Sucks

I am highly ticked off at Serta. Here is what I just wrote them:  

I am very disappointed with Serta. I purchased a
mattress and bed from Mattress Direct in Gulfport, MS
nine months ago. The bed already falling apart and the
mattress is so uncomfortable with big, rolling lumps all
over. I took pictures that I guess did not show quite the
1 1/2 inch dip (even though the lump was deeper than
the brick they gave me). I received a letter saying it wasn't
quite deep enough to warrenty out and resubmit when
it gets worse. Seriously? That is poor customer service. Why
would I want to buy from you in the future with this treatment?
What an expensive mistake.

UGHHHHHHHH

New House?

Me and Tony have been thinking about selling our house and buying a new, bigger one. So, I found this fabulous house down the street. It's PINK and victorian. The only issues is it's $299, 000. WOW - that's a little more than our budget. But, I have an appointment to go see it! Yay! And, we have a realtor coming to the house tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. to evaluate our house to see if we can even sell it. If not, we may add an addition and a pool! Woot!
