Today was my "Mom's Day Off". I took the girls to a friends house so they could load up and go to the zoo for the day. I headed to work for a few hours, and then had the rest of the day to myself. *sigh* Oh how wonderful it was. I went home and got my computer, headed to the park to edit with a friend while she studied. Then I went to dinner with another friend, the kids she babysits, and her son (who became my son for the duration of our meal). I then ran to the bank, went home and waited for my kids to be dropped off. It was wonderful!!
When the girls got home, Courtney was so exhausted that she began to cry. She missed me. I love being missed. I love having kids who, although they had a great day out, missed me so much that they just want to be held.
While we were on our way to the girls friends house this morning, I remembered to tell them that my childhood best friend was pregnant again! It went something like this:
Me - "Girls, you know Mary? Well, her little girls are going to be sisters!"
Courtney - "Ummmm....Mom, they're already sisters."
Me - "Ok. Bad wording. How about this? Remember how Aly is the youngest? Well, she's going to be a big sister!"
Courtney - "How is she going to be the oldest? Isn't Faith the oldest?"
Me - "Faith will always be the oldest. Aly isn't going to be the youngest anymore!"
Courtney - "I don't get it."
Me - "Fine. Mary is pregnant!!"
Courtney - "Oh. Now both Mary's that we know are pregnant." <-- in a monotone voice. Oh, my daughter.
Another highlight to my day was being hired as the wedding photographer for a wedding in December. I love this family so very much, and have a blast doing their shoots. This wedding has me on cloud 9!
Oh, I was outside talking to my friends when they dropped the girls off and I saw my nasty squirrel. I watched him cross the power lines, and go right into the side of my apartment. BAHHHH!!!! I totally needed my brother's air soft gun! Stupid squirrel. Someday, he will be dead.
On that note, I feel my bed calling my name early tonight. Having a day off is exhausting :}
