A long day, and excitement

Well, I pulled my 12 hours today.  It was tough, but easier than usual, since I went to bed at 8 last night.  LOL, I can fall asleep anytime, anywhere.  I ran the statements with no problem (there have been problems the past 3 months) and was done by the time the phones came on at 8:30.

Brian and Heather arrived around 8, and with them was MY GIRLS!  They are home at last!  I was so glad to see them get here.  Brett is here tonight, too.  I can't believe how RIGHT it feels to have them all home.  It's just awesome.

Natalie is, once again, having trouble sleeping in her own bed.  She's only spent one night here, and it was storming that night.  I'm hoping to talk her through it tonight, and see if tomorrow goes better.  She keeps crying and making excuses to come upstairs and tell me something.  I can't get mad.  She isn't faking.  She's never been in her own room in her life.  It's a big change.  I will just be patient and keep taking her back down.

I can't wait for tomorrow.  The reunion is almost here, and I have three sets of batteries charged for my camera, as well as the video camera being charged and ready.  There will be pictures to spare!  LOL  I am excited, and will post after the fact, but it will probably be Sunday night, since we have company this weekend.  But be warned, there WILL be pictures!
