A Little Excited

Well, my two week stint as a single mom is almost up. And I'm very happy about that. I never had to give any spankins', though I did wield a spank stick a time or two. We got all assignments turned in on time. Everyone had a packed lunch each day. Only once did Perma-Baby walk to school with tights so small they kept pullin' down her undies. And only once or twice did I cry. We managed. We had fun. I read Ol' Yeller to them. We ate the simplest meals possible, but the kids thought the chicken nuggets were a rare treat. And now...at the end of it all, I get to have CC back. Man, I've missed him. AND my parents are flying back with him for a visit. I can't begin to tell you how excited I am. The last time they came was 4.5 years ago, when Perma-Baby really was a baby.

The girls have grown a lot since then. AND we've added a boy!

We plan to do a lot of just normal life, only with dear grandparents thrown into the mix. Piano practice with a granddaddy to hear the songs. Tae Kwon Do lesson with a grandma to try their moves on. Bedtime routine with a grandparent to read to them. It's going to be a fun 2.5 weeks!
