What did you do over Christmas Vacation...?


So my parents have been visiting for the past week.  The kids loved having their grandparents around for X-mas.  My brother also was able to drive down for a few days and spent time down here with us.

The most memorable moment though happened the night that my parents arrived.  Their plane landed around 11:00pm, so i drove out to pick them up with the little girl.  We came back and unloaded the car and started putting things away that needed to be refrigerated.  That's when my mom noticed that her medicine bag was nowhere in sight.  Apparently she had taken it out of her carry on bag in Charlotte and forgot to put it away again.  By this time it was past midnight and all the calls to Charlotte and US Air were useless since everybody was closed.

We kept calling US Air Lost and Found in Charlotte for the next few days, but it kept saying "Leave a message, Voice Mail is Full" and hanging up on us.  My dad then decided to go to the drug store at that time and getting all new prescriptions.  By the time we got back from the 24 hour pharmacy it was close to 2 in the morning.

I went to bed, dead tired.  Sometime around 3:30 i hear my husband saying "What are you doing?  Getting into bed." He smacked my bottom and asked me why my brother was in bed with us.  I jumped out of be and turned on the light.  Apparently he sleepwalks and he walked right into our bed.  It took about 15 minutes to get him to move.  He finally got up from bed, grabbed to pillows and said "Fine i'm leaving but i'm taking the pillows with me."

It was the longest night of my life.
