David just said, "Ow! Shit! Damn!" I knew he had turettes (sp?)!
Michael accomplished his once-a-year duty of waking up the whole house on Christmas morning. This year he woke up a little later (7:15) and said, "I guess I woke up late this year. I smelled something burning though, and it woke me up." Yesterday he was playing around with the telephone and dialed 911. Once he heard the operator pick up, he hung up. Then they called back and mom answered it. She told them Michael was just playing around and that there was no emergency. Of course, they didn't accept this answer and sent an officer out to our house promptly. Michael explained to him what he did and the officer said something like, "Normally we'd put you in juvenile hall for 30 days." I guess he had compassion in his heart when he saw Michael crying his eyes out though, and let him off. I was taking a nap during this whole exchange, which is a probably a good thing because I'm sure I would've said something stupid to the cop and been thrown in jail myself.
It's been a nice Christmas so far. Just some little things from my parents...gift cards, body spray, teachery stuff. But I also received $500 in cash in my stocking! Grandma Winstead left us some money in her will. It was kind of a weird moment....I keep forgetting she's gone. Now the question is...what do i spend it on? Should I open a savings account? Should I use it to buy health insurance since mine will be running out very very shortly? Or should I use it selfishly to buy things for myself?
Merry Christmas, my friends! I love you!
