Trouble on O Day Drive.

I had another restless night but everything was fine as far as any pain or throat issue was concerned. Two fingers on each hand were and still are numb along with my feet. I got out of bed and watched some TV until the numbness went away. I got back in bed at about 3am and fell asleep after about another hour and was up before 9 so I could make Zach his pancakes. He was happy to see me get up. I went in the living room to watch Elmo with Kaity just to mess with him a little bit. Finally he goes in the kitchen and gets the Dad Pancakes note he made the night before and throws it in my lap.OK Zach I will make your breakfast now since you were waiting so patiently. I started to make the fluffy wonders as only I can make them( following the directions on the box).He sat at the table with joy in his eyes. I gave him three silver dollar plus size pancakes that I think never made it to the table. He ate them so fast I thought that he may have taken a bite out of one of his digits. I gave Kaity one of these delights and she also devoured it. I had to give her another one that also disappeared. Usually she will nibble and not eat much. She knows that Daddy doesn't cook much and thought she didn't want to miss the opportunity to taste something that should be featured on the Food Network. After the three of us were fed the smell obviously woke Sally up. She floated into the kitchen with her mouth open and ready for the round heavenly goodness. She was lucky enough to get the leftover pancakes that were just as good. Michael slept through all of this. He could have a marching band in his room and he still wouldn't wake up.

This evening we had to go to my mother in laws for awhile. as we were going down the street, Sally said " HEY ,there is flashing lights down there lets go take a look. "Sally we are tired and want to get home as soon as we could." "It's not the police cause they are white lights and not red or blue". She said "Aww come on lets be nosy and see whats going on"."Fine,fine I'll see what is going on if it is that important to you. I am traveling down the street which seemed like another mile traveled and getting closer. As I approached the so called trouble that was brewing I noticed something .The white lights that so mesmerized my wife were not flashing but flickering. It was a family of 4 on there bikes and the lights were on there handlebars.I should have asked her if I should have done a citizens arrest since they were causing such a ruckus.
