Oh Happy Night!!!!

I got up this morning and immediately started cleaning my house....yeah....getting tipsy and cleaning didn't really happen the other night....got tipsy but didn't clean...at all....I had great intentions but I tend to get sleepy when I drink so I slept. :-)

Anyway...back to my story...I scrubbed the house this morning and then loaded the kids up to go to McDonald's and to Nana's (my mom's). You know how most mom's always talk about their kids driving them crazy and getting on their nerves...well....I think that road runs two ways and I think my kids are getting a little tired of me lately. We all really need a break from each other....so my plan was to get us all out of the house while Jamey finished up the yard today.

When I got to mom's house she said we were invited to my great aunt's house to visit and I was very excited because I have not seen her since my grandmother passed away 2 years ago.

She loved seeing the kids, showered them with attention and gifts of toys she had laying around and all were happy. I went back to my mom's house to drop her off and both Riley and Sam requested to spend the night with Nana. Normally I set a one kid limit on the grandparent spend the night parties but my mom insisted that they could both stay and that fun would be had by all. BLESS YOU!!!!!! I had an extra outfit in the diaper bag for Sam and Riley had on a comfy cotton outfit that would be okay for pajamas. Mom said she would throw her clothes and underwear in the wash while she gave them a LONG bath she could romp around in a tank top of my mom's until they were dry. BLESS YOU!!!!!!

My mom may get under my skin sometimes but she really knows when I need her...and her offering to keep the kids tonight was perfectly timed! She also just makes things work. They don't have clothes....no biggie...she is one of those people who can make something appear from nothing...as a mom I still don't think I have mastered that skill. She adores my children as they do her and they have a blast when they are together. When I leave them with her and call her before I come to get them her response is always the same..."they're fine...do whatever else you need to do...you don't have to come and get them right now."

I swung by a store on my way home and bought everything I need to give myself a pedi tonight after Jamey and I go out to dinner that is!!!! I thought about going to get a pedi but the risk of a fungus freaks me out lately and I can give myself multiple pedicures for what I paid for the supplies...instead of just getting one at the salon.

Oh yeah...and since I cleaned before I left I do not have to spend my free night cleaning!!! What luck I have today!!!!! Maybe I need to buy a lottery ticket!

Have a great night ladies!
