Labor Day Weekend

It was great Labor Day Weekend at the Coleman house. The only thing that could have made it better would be for Kenny to have been home. Jesse surprised us by coming home on Saturday afternoon. I returned from WalMart to find her car in the driveway. Talk about happy!! I was!!

We didn't do anything special except spend time together. Mason and Jesse hung out Saturday night in Mason's truck. It was good to see them spending time together and enjoying it. Sunday we went to church and then we went to IHOP> Gran and Papa went with us as well as Jesse's boyfriend, Tyler. It was alot of fun.

Jesse has been complaining for several years about how uncomfortable her bed is. I never paid much attention to it, chalking it up to just griping. Sunday morning she looked like she hadn't slept a wink and she said it was because of the mattress. I was not convinced. So she asked me to sleep in her room Sunday night while she slept in mine. Well, I could not believe how bad that mattress was. I can honestly say that I would have been more comfortable on the kitchen floor than on that mattress. So first thing Monday morning, I apologized to Jesse for not believing her all this time about it and went straight out and bought a new one. I felt so bad for not believing her, but now she has a new mattress to sleep on when she comes home on the weekends.

Mason had a bad evening last night as his XBOX360 malfunctioned (for the 2nd time in a year) and we are no longer under warranty so he is without an XBOX for a while. But he has been working more hours lately and that and his homework should keep him busy. As a matter of fact, when he got home from school today, he got called into work til 10pm.

Well, last but not least, Jesse left for Conway yesterday about 3:30pm. At 4:30pm she calls me to tell me that she forgot several things at the house and was going to come back for them. I figured since Mason was at work and I didn't have anything to do that I would drive to Conway and take it all to her. When I got there, I helped her hang her curtains and then we went to eat and to Target. then I headed home. Well, it was quite a different weekend than what I had thought I would have and I am so glad. It was great and I have the best family in the world. :)
