911 Caller: Husband Won’t Eat Dinner

As a Compliance Investigator, just about every case I receive is ridiculous. This frequent 911 caller reminds me of one of the many AT&T callers to the AT&T Hotline:

Authorities reviewing woman’s frequent use of emergency number:

KERRVILLE, Texas - Prosecutors planned to review the case of a woman authorities claim has called 911 30 times over six months for non-emergency reasons, including a call to complain that her husband refused to eat his dinner.
Last Friday, the woman allegedly made a pair of calls to 911, including a hang-up and another where a woman was heard screaming.
Police were dispatched to the residence and officer Paul Gonzales said she told police that "her husband did not want to eat his supper." A police report said the 53-year-old woman was also yelling "about things that happened two weeks ago."
The woman now faces charges of 911 abuse

Mother Teresa Wisdom

I ALWAYS love a little Mother Teresa wisdom:

People are often unreasonable and self-centered.

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.

Be kind anyway.

If you find happiness people may be jealous.

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway.

Give the world your best and it may never be enough.

Give your best anyway.

For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.

It never was between you and them anyway.

-Mother Teresa

Lindsay asked me today "if you are adorable, will you not go to time out"? I am not sure where this one came from.

Lindsayism 3

Lindsay asked me today which Santa's List she is on. I asked her why? She responded by saying because she doesn't have much time until he arrives.

Lindsayism 2

Lindsay informed me yesterday that when you are "late" you are also "tardy". I am not sure if several of her classmates were "tardy" to school and Mrs. Pettitt was teaching them a new word. All I know is that Lindsay absorbed somehow that "late" and "tardy" mean the same thing.

Lindsayism 1

Lindsay and I were sitting at the kitchen table tonight working on her homework together. Out of the blue Lindsay said "Thank goodness you have a kid like me Mom". I just about wet my pants but composed myself and let her know that she was exactly right.

What would I do without my Lindsay? She truly keeps me smiling and laughing each day.
