Things are improving by the minute. I got to eat a free dinner, thanks to 101 the Fox. Then we came home, where I got to disassemble the old, heavy, giant desk. I kept hearing "NO disassemble number Five!" (you won't get that unless you're close to my age, but it's from the movie Short Circuit.)
It's only 3 more nights without the girls. They will be here on Friday night. My brother, Jim, and his family will be here tomorrow evening (travel safe, brother of mine) and the reunion is Saturday.
I hate reunions. I know very few of the folks there, I feel like I need to watch my kids even closer than usual, and I get nervous in crowds. Yet, for some reason, I'm really excited about this Saturday. I think it's Dad's excitement rubbing off on me. I think it's Mom's planning. I think it's the fact that I'll be in the most comfortable setting I know (my childhood home.) I don't know what it is, but DANGIT, I'm excited!
This is going to be the best weekend, ever. I'm as ready as I could ever be. Now, to make it through three more days of work. I can do it, especially since I get to go in late on Thursday. More OT to kill, you know. I'll get to go see Jim, Deb, and the Monkey. Laney, too. I bet I wake up super early on Saturday, just so I can "Get this party started!"

Wooo hoooo!!!! Me too.
Wow! I'd give anything for a real old fashioned family reunion......we haven't had one in over 15 years. The older folks who would organize and plan such things died off and us younger folks have dropped the ball! Turns out we're the old folks now! Have a blast and enjoy every minute! - Barbara
