Yeah, yeah. I know. Ecstatic again. It's not an exaggeration, either. I really am THAT happy.
Kevin's mom brought the girls home this weekend. He got some awesome Royals tickets from work (yeah, it's the Royals, but it's still baseball) and invited his 85 year old Grandma, his mom, and his son Jonathan. Linda got them here around 11 this morning, and they had to leave within an hour to head to the game.
It was so incredibly awesome to see my girls. I couldn't hug them enough. I get so nit-picky sometimes with them, but if I don't see them for a couple of weeks, I get pretty antsy. Jonathan being here was a plus, and Brett decided to come home for the weekend, since everyone else would be here. WooooHoooo!
I have my new home filled with people I love. After the baseball fans left to watch the Royals lose, I took the kids to mom and dads. They were so excited to see Gramma and Grampa again. It's been two weeks since they left, but three weeks since they saw them. I think Mom and Dad were as tickled as the girls were.
I needed groceries (haven't bought any since 2 weeks before we moved!) so Natalie, Brett and I headed to the store. Monica chose to stay at Grampa's house. I spent a ton of money, but there is food in the house again. Then we picked up Monica, and came home to get to work.
I helped the girls set up their rooms, while Brett did his. It was a lot of work, and it was hot and very humid today, so we were beat by the time we were finished. The girls were so happy. Brett left for a while to see his Aunt Shauna, and the baseball fans got back home. We had dinner, then my best friend in the world came to see my house. Oh yeah, she brought her husband, too. ROFL
Now, everyone is in bed. Natalie is having a hard time. First night in a new house. First night in her own room (ever.) To top it off, there's a storm moving through. I feel so bad for her. I spent about 20 minutes, letting her pick out stuffed animals, turning on a lamp, Brett opened the adjoining closet door so she could here him and Jonathan. I think she's gonna make it, but she's so nervous.
I told her I'd go back down in 20 minutes to check on her. She had stopped crying, and seemed ok. Then, as I'm typing this, she came back up and said "Why can't you come down at 11:08? Why does it have to be 11:20?" It's gonna be a long night! LOL

You deserve a good weekend after all the moving and the little water problem. Just remember (to yourself) there would have been many more things forgotten if it had been up to the man! - Barbara
But at least the Royals humiliated the Yankees! I'm still stoked about that. Still!! We fans hang on to what we can. LOL Russ
Sis is still afraid of the storms..........but to my amazement she didn't come in and get me. She must of been hugging those dogs to near death.
Brook still crawls in bed with us. It took her forever to sleep in her room by herself. Many a time I would find her asleep on the couch just so she could be close to her Papaw(he would be on computer)
