What am I getting into?!?!?!?!



My son-in-law is a cadet in the police academy and invited me to be part of his class this weekend. Wow, my SIL wanted me to help him? How cool is that?.......ummmm......

This weekend his class is going to be about the field sobriety test. Learning what's not drunk, what is drunk and different levels in between. So they need volunteers to be willing to get drunk to help them learn how to deal with drinking and drivers.



So I'm spending Saturday drinking. Probably more than ever in my life. I've never been drunk because I absolutely detest the idea of being out of control. Oh, and I really hate volunteering to puke my guts out. I have no idea what I'm getting myself into but I trust my SIL. I know one of his instructors very well and I trust him too. However, Les is the one who encouarged Trey to ask me because Les thinks it'll be fun to see me wasted! Les is even taking time from his day off to be there Saturday. No pressure.......................



I have to teach on Sunday morning. It's a 4 week class for the ladies on Spiritual Gifts. Last thing I want is to try and teach with a hangover!!!!



I confess to being a bit nervous about this. Being out of control is a fear of mine. "I'm the good mother-in-law" I will repeat that as necessary.

Wish me luck! I will need it!

Oh. My. Goodness.

Well, Ruth, this is one experience I'll never have, but I must confess that I wish I were there to watch!!!

Good luck! Oh, and please have someone close by with a recorder because I really want to hear when you have to say at the end of the day!

So ... what's your drink of choice?

Ruth said...

I have no clue, Jean. I'll have to blog about what happens. That is, if I can remember!!

Wait....Les who?
Larry knows so many of the guys from that area b/c he used to be a Gilmer cop while we lived over there. I know that he's named a couple of guys named Les over the years. So fill me in. Which one was this?
