Mom left again in the middle of the night Sunday morning. I thought something was different when she went to bed when the bird came out of the clock 8 times. She went to a place where they are many big important boats called Virginia Beach. She did not have much fun there. See, when Mom goes to places on airplanes, they give her a car when she gets off her plane so she can drive places she needs to go. At the place with the big important boats called Virginia Beach, the mean people did not want to give her a car and she had to stay mad at the airport for a long time. She was really fussing about and saying those loud words that I’m not allowed to say.

When they finally gave her a car, she drove to her hotel and the people would not let her have her room. She was very mad about that too. She had to sit in her car for a long time and be mad some more. The big man had put on white shoes with laces and a cap so he was not home when Mom called, but I was. Mom left her voice on the box called the answering machine and she was all worked up and saying very loud bad words. The big man listened to her voice when he got home and told me he was going to wash Mom’s mouth out with soap when she got home. She did not like the place with big important boats called Virginia Beach and she doesn’t want to go back.

The big man had to go to the place called church where people act nice to each other for a few minutes by himself. When he got home, we just took it easy for the day. The big man went to work and I just stayed outside and away from those spooky things in our yard that won’t go away. That person is still all smashed into our little building too.

We got a surprise on Tuesday. I like surprises! Mom’s people kid, Justin, the one I like the best, came over and brought good food to cook on the grill. Me, Justin and the big man had a very good dinner and we hung around and talked like boys do.

Mom came home last night while the big man was gone somewhere. She gave all her attention to me! She petted me and talked nice to me. I like it when it is just me and Mom here. The big man came home and he was happy to see Mom. Mom was happy to be home, I was happy to get some attention, we were just a happy family. That is cool. I’m glad, I fit in just right because I am a cool cat.
