Well, another productive night. Kevin fixed the van (it was the upper radiator hose) despite the tiny workspace and big hands. I even got to help a little. He's getting so good at fixing things without help. He impresses me daily. I'll still drive the truck for a day, so he can make sure the van runs cool, but then maybe he can have his baby back!
Brett came to spend the night tonight. Tomorrow, mom is taking him and my neice to the Van's Warped Tour. He is so stoked about it. I'm glad my mom is SO cool. How many grandmothers would do this? Not many, I'd wager. Brett is staying here tomorrow night, too. I'm so glad to spend time with him. He helped me with some little projects (in his room) tonight, and I have more planned for tomorrow. It takes work off Kevin, and it's for Brett, so he doesn't mind at all. We have fun together.
I get to see the girls again on Friday night, and come home on Sunday. After that, it's less than a week until they come home. I'm ready for them to come home. Yup, it's time, dangit. Just ask mom....it's time. They belong here, and they're not here. I miss them terribly, but they're having a good time. One more week (after this one) of summer school, and they get a $100 gift certificate to WalMart...EACH. They're so excited.
Natalie asked me tonight if she can get her ears pierced. Oh CRAP! I'm not ready for this. I talked to Kevin and we decided to let her do it. They can always grow shut if it doesn't work out. I talked to her about the responsibility of daily cleaning and turning. She says she's ready, so we agreed. I want my kids to be 2 years old again. Damn pierced ears. By the time we hung up, Monica wanted hers done, too. Crap. OK sis, go ahead.
Well, it's time for bed. More work to do tomorrow. Please pray if you pray, send good thoughts if that's your gig, to my mother and son and niece tomorrow. They're going to uncharted territory and hanging with stoner flashers. They need all the help they can get to be safe and have a great time. Be careful, you three!

brook has not asked to get her ears pierced yet. I want to keep her a baby forever! I do understand where you are at. Remember I have a grown daughter too!
I may go somewhere and get a couple of piercings on the way there, so I'll fit in. I like pierced ears on little girls. I even think babies look cute with pierced ears... remember Amber?
