Today hubby's Mom came over for dinner after church. These visits require me to take two Excedrin tablets before she arrives. And if I were a drinking person two shots of Tequilia wouldn't hurt either. 

Hubby's side of the family are, well how can I put this....on the snobby side. You know, the kind of people who drink their coffee or tea with the 'pinky finger' pointing up while they are holding their cup.... the kind that get dressed for dinner when they dine at home (I'm talking suits and dresses)..they also have 'help' to help with keeping up their home and yard...well, you get the picture. 

Dogs, or any animals for that matter, do not belong inside the home in their opinion. Well, I wasn't about to lock Sammie, Puddles, Peaches and Gabby up while she was here and told the hubby as much. He was nervous but agreed. 

She arrived and Sammie ran to the front door to greet and meet our guest. "Mother" was aghast at the thought of Sam sniffing her shoes and legs. Thank goodness Sammie didn't  sniff her butt like she usually does when people come over.

The dogs finally settled down and we all sat in the living room to have our after dinner coffee. I must admit Sammie was on her best behavior....up until that point. My dear sweet mother-in-law dropped her napkin (cloth not paper because you know, she's fussy) and as she bent down to pick it up here comes Sam running to get the napkin. I think she thought that anything that hits the floor is fair game and hers to k eep andtake outside, with the sock and underware collection she already has out in the yard).

Sammie and the Mother bumped heads so hard that I saw stars! There she sat, on the floor with her legs up in the air and a knot already forming on her forehead. Didn't seem to hurt Sammie at all, because she took the napkin  with her out the doggie door and played with it in the yard. 

We rushed to hubby's Mom and asked if she was okay. The woman just looked at us kind of goofy and asked how she got on the floor. Great, I thought, she doesn't remember!! 

I gave the 'evil' eye to the husband to  keep his mouth shut. The man has been married long enough to know that 'look' and he didn't say a word. lol

I told her she lost her footing as she was standing up (which isn't a lie, just not the entire story. :-) and hit her head on the floor. Husband took her to Doctor's Care, they took x-rays and gave her something for the pain. She's okay but will have a headache for a day or two. 

Here is a story that we can all share at the dinner table, but not right away, maybe in about 30 years or so. :-)
