blinded by the night
I was taking a break in between dvd movies and chocolate cake and remembered a rare treat i got last year for my birthday. My daughter angela kathleen is one of those girls who is totally immersed in the arms of adulthood and motherhood and had decided since she had just turned 21 in May that she was going to take me to the casino in worley for my birthday treat. Just us two ...and thank god for that because she has the tendency to drive one mad with her obssessive compulsive disorders. I think she is beautiful myself and have no complaints except to slow down. We left Spokane after she got off from work and it was late. But heck they are open 24 hours to take your money. Ahh the joys of losing it all. Anyway she has got the music just blaring and that is how i like it (wonder where she got that from mmhh?) Anyway she is driving like a maniac and it is foggy and i tried to stay out of it cause i knew she was testing me to see if i would bite. I made it all the way to rockford. Now besides the black dark of night we have a blanketing thick fog. I didn't panic i just did my adult in charge thing turning down the radio and said slow the fuck down it is 15 miles per hour ( she was doing 40) and the deer are out there too !! She says in her most prissy annoyed voice mom it just changed to 15 miles an hour calm down. But in her usual ..blow out of proportion anything that mom says defiant attitude she thrusts down on the brake hard and now we are cruising 3 miles an hour .. I told her to roll down her window to get the coat of steam off the inside of her windshield and turn on the defrost and she stops completely screaming now i can't see the road. As she starts to wipe off the windshield with her sleeve her other hand rolls down the window a few turns..and i swear to god i see two DEER right beside her door and another waiting for them on the other lane of the road. I in all my ultimate wisdom know and accept what my daughter can and cannot do...like multi tasking the fog, slowing down suddenly..while turning on the defrost and rolling down the window.I as her biological mother knew not to distract any further. As we were finally in route again i told her and besides katie there are deer that could be grazing close to the road ..As it was close to hunting season and she said to me AS SHE ROLLED HER EYES..yeah really mother... deers? Like i would lie to her just to slow her down. I mean it didn't matter when we got there we would still lose our money so why not enjoy the ride ? With the music blaring and our cigarettes in tow we pull into the parking area at the casino and a single doe veers out of trees and crosses in front of our path. This is what she does...hehe she lurches to a sudden stop and before the car has even slowed she has her camera out and is pointing and hollering excitedly ..."look mom a deer.... I wonder how it got out?
yep that is my dark haired blond
