So I was planning on going to my dad's house this weekend until my mom sent me a text Friday. I love how she always hints at things but never comes right out with what she wants me to do. Apparently, she had the weekend off and wanted to spend it with me. She never asked me to stay home, however her cleaver way of reminding me that she had the weekend off and she didn't have any plans was a good indication she wanted to spend time with me. So I made the necessary changes to my schedule to spend time with my mom.
We all slept in on Saturday morning and it felt great. Well she tried to get me up early but it didn't work. So her second attempt was a little more successful. Somehow she talked me into putting my hair in a ponytail and going grocery shopping at Walmart with out my morning shower. Ugh, not something I was happy about. She promised it was only a quick trip. Whatever, 2 hours later we got home. Thank goodness I didn't see anyone I knew.
When we got home, my mouthy 15 year old sister was home. Boy she was crabby. We all decided to go to my grandma's together. Oh did I mention this was the first "Rio" outing? My sister was not happy! It's a dang bird not a member of the family. I like it when Samantha is mad at mom and not me, so I encouraged my mom. That and Rio is starting to grow on me a little. I'm not as scared of him anymore. I turned out to be an exciting ride to Grandma's house. Sam drove and she is very scared of the bird. We almost got in a wreck when Rio decided to go from the back seat to the front seat. I laughed so hard I almost cried. I didn't think my little sister was scared of anything, except now the bird......
We had fun at Grandma's. We talked, laughed and really enjoyed the day. It almost felt like a holiday because we never have days that all of us can visit at the same time. It was fun. I tried curling my grandma's hair. Apparently I'm not that good of a hair dresser as everyone laughed when I was done.
Either that or it was the homemade strawberry wine that they were drinking.
We finally went home. My mom made homemade lasagna and garlic bread. It was so good. We all ate too much. So I had the bright idea of getting the Wii out. We put in Dance 3 for the Wii. The family fun continued. My mom, my sister, my friend and I all took turns dancing and competing for the best score. Later we found out my sister was video tapping all of us. I'm not sure what was funnier, watching each other trying to dance or watching the video of all of us dancing like fools. All in all, I'm really glad I stayed home.

Bringing RIO The Bird Home
All this talk about my crazy mom buying her crazy bird. My mom says I might have to me eat my words someday when I discover that I may like Rio. I say no chance of that happening in my lifetime. I have been telling her all along that she was crazy for getting a bird. I told her that I'm deathly afraid of them. I told her that I was having nightmares about this, "middle aged crisses" of hers. All to not avail. She brought Rio home anyways!!!!
So the first day home didn't go so well. I laid awake all night scared that the bird was going to crawl under the door and try to poke my eyes out while I was sleeping. I told my mom that I was really afraid that was going to happen and she told me I was very dramatic. I didn't see any drama in that statement at all, as that was my nightmare. I had school the night he came home so he was in his room sleeping and my mom was asleep too, I didn't get to see him before I went to bed. So you can imagine my mind went crazy with worry.
I must have finally slept a little bit cause I remember being woke up by my mom talking to herself. Well, I thought she was talking to herself until the realization of the memory of "The Bird" came back to me. I decided to stay in bed as long as possible so I didn't have to face, "The Bird." I listened to my mom go on and on talking to this bird like it was actually going to answer her. I made the mistake of laughing out loud. She heard me and came in. So I reluctantly crawled out of bed. I was amazed that she didn't have the bird with her. So I decided it was safe to leave the bedroom. My mom was getting ready for work and I noticed the bird room door was closed. I asked, "Is that bird in that room?" and pointed to the spare bedroom door. She said yes so I said I wanted to see it. She told me open the door and look. I told her no that she had to open the door. She laughed at me and opened the door. I freaked, screamed and ran to the living room.......... Like I said, the first day home didn't go so well............... Rio is huge. The pictures make him look small. There is nothing small about him, especially his beak! I won't be eating my words none too soon!
