Saturday, July 25, 2009....3:17 pm

I'm happily napping away....I had been sleeping for about an hour.

I feel this poking on my shoulder....*poke....poke*

I opened one eye, see my daughter on the phone...then my one eye looks over at the clock...

I growl a bit....

I really need one more hour of sleep and I've put in my minimum + maximum time for napping. It's 2 hours...always. Not a minute less, not a minute more. 2 hours. Exact.

My one eye looks at my daughter, I raise an eyebrow...."what?"

"Can me and BFF in the WWW go over to _____'s house to go swimming....please?"

*growling....* I close my eye that was opened....let out a big sigh....

"I'll take you over...but you gotta find a way back...can your friend's parents bring you back?"

"Yup!"

"Okay, go change NOW....do not make me regret doing this...."

She happily skips off to change ... and of course what happens....she and her BFF in the WWW is taking their sweet time.

I'm growling a bit louder...."What you did, my dear daughter, is ILLEGAL! You...woke...up...your...mother!"

They hurriedly came out and off to her friend's house we went. I looked at my daughter..."Have you forgotten "Mother's Laws"?

Well, I'm very forgiving...but the rule is if they know I'm very tired and I'm down for my dose of 2 hours plus nap, they are not to wake me up unless there is an emergency such as...fire or someone dying.

But really, I rather the girls go OUTSIDE and have fun instead of sitting at the computers allllll day long ...so....

Yeah.

energy drainers....

all my nieces and nephews are...

energy drainers.

they drain your energies from you!

yes they do.

4 nieces and 3 nephews today celebrating one of my nieces' birthday...

but it was good to see almost EVERYBODY come together.

and I got to share holding baby Andrew. he was just so sweet. awww.

now it's late, and the kids have drained all of my energy from me today...i shall sleep well tonight.

good night.

Yippee for Friday

The long week is over! I never thought it'd be such a long week! I'm so glad it's Friday.

However, I'm not happy July is halfway over...that means summer is halfway over. Where is the warm days? We have had nothing but cool days....I want to go to the lake more often.

Tomorrow means a trip out to Sister #1's house for all the cousins to play together and jump in the pool and stuff....and just hang out. Oh yeah, I'm sure we 4 sisters will be gushing over our newest baby nephew, Andrew. Aw. Can't wait! If you wanna know who Andrew is, check out the Etsy pics on the right side of my blog---yeah, look to your right, and scroll down a bit. You see that baby lookin' at you with a hooded blanket on his head? Yeah? Isn't he adorable? That's Andrew! Yes! I can't wait to see him tomorrow.

Ashley and her BFF in the WWW are sleeping away in the living room, and I'm trying to catch up on stuff here....I got slammed with a migraine yesterday after work. Good thing I went to bed early. I feel....somewhat refreshed....

Now I need to jump in the shower and get my day started.

Have a happy Friday, y'all....
