Ghostly Adventures,,

I was on a road trip to Georgia, my brother was driving and my son Devon was in the back seat.  

To kill time and our boredom, I downloaded a ghost hunting app that records EVP's. (it lets you hear what spirits are saying) 

So I opened the app and my brother started to ask questions; "Is anybody here with us?", "What's your name?", etc. 

After about the third question we got a very creepy, whisper of a voice say "Help Me!"  My brother Kevin looked at me with bewilderment in his eyes and asked me if the app was real.  I said "I don't know, let me ask a question".  

I proceeded to ask "Who is driving the car right now?" Again a creepy, whisper of a voice said thru the app "Keeeevin". 

My brother and I looked at each other with jaws dropped. I screamed out "Oh my God!" and begin immediately deleting the app out of shear panic while my brother began screaming to me "Get the app back!"  "Do it again, I want to talk to it!!!"

I was yelling at my brother, he was yelling at me and then in the background a slight giggle became audible.  My brother and I slowly looked into the back seat and saw my son now in a full fledged cackle, cracking up at us. 

He said "uuum  that was me, I was just messing with you guys. Ha Ha Ha!!! oooh my gosh, that was soo funny! "

I don't know who wanted to hurt him the most LOL... silly us for being so gullible.

Funniest Mom on the Block

So last nite around 7:30, my son asked if he could go outside to talk to a couple of his friends.

It was already getting dark but I allowed it and told him he could have 30min.

At the 40 min mark, I called him on his cell and told him to come inside.

At the 50 min mark, I texted him to get his behind in the house. He texted in response "Neeevaaaaah! :)"

At the 55 min mark, I opened the door yelling for him to get in the house and his friends who were in my driveway scurried away laughing as he ran past me and inside the house.

"Devon?" I asked, "What exactly was that about?"

He replied "We were waiting outside the door for you to come out and yell at me, I was purposely not coming in"

"And why exactly would you do that?" I asked.

And through his own laughter, he says  "Cause my friends think it's funny when you come outside mad at me, you get red and your face has the funniest look on it, it's just funny"

"Well" I replied, "I'm glad I could be a source of amusement for you and your friends!"

"Aaah" he sighed "You always are mom, your the funniest mom on the block!" 

Glad to know these kids are taking us adults seriously these days...

Don't touch the remote!

We were in the living room watching TV together.  

My son was on the loveseat and I was on the couch when I got up to get a drink from the kitchen.   

The dog jumped on the couch and sat on the remote inadvertently changing the channel to a station that was playing a Victoria Secret commercial.  

Devon yells “YES!” 

I look at the TV and see the half naked model in her undies and so I run from the kitchen to get the remote so that I may quickly change the channel.  

As I do, Devon dives onto the couch shielding the remote with his body yelling “Yes! Boobs!”  

Hey Victoria! … it’s no longer a secret, thanks a lot.

Stella aint getting her groove back

So there is this guy in my community, he lives in the end unit and everyday I drive by his house. He is usually outside, most of the time with his shirt off and he is the most gorgeous man I have ever seen.

Apparently it's obvious I find him attractive because according to my son I slow down when we drive by and my face gets bright red. Dev has even started trying to cover my eyes or block my view whenever he is outside now.

This is important for you to know as my story progresses.

This evening Dev and I went to my community's gym so I got to walk by his house but he was not outside.

We work out, I do the elliptical, the treadmill, I even do some weights. I realize I'm only thirty minutes in and I'm exhausted... "Dev Im done" I say, "let's go!"

We leave the gym and Dev trails behind me to stretch. As I round the corner I realize my guy is outside. "Oh my" I think to myself, "I look like crap but this may be my only chance to ever say hello." I pull the scrunchie out of my hair, begin to jog as fast as i can so he knows I've been "working out" and I look in his direction.

It was like a movie, his muscles clinching to his Tshirt, his beautiful skin glistening under the light of the moon and in slow motion he looks up and makes eye contact. I begin to smile as I jog by while my lips slowly begin to form the word "hello"...

Before i can get the word out of my mouth Devon comes walking up behind me at a normal pace actually passes me as Im trying to jog and says "Jeez mom you only worked out for thirty minutes the least you could do is actually jog home!"

I hear the guy laugh and I run the entire rest of the way home in shame.

Yeah...Good times, Love that kid!
