Last night was "reading night out" at the school. There were several story tellers there, and it was a lot of fun. I have pictures. They're in my camera. My USB cable is at work. *sigh* Maybe tomorrow.
This weekend will be a busy one. Kevin heads to Carthage for the Maple Leaf Festival. It's a huge deal for him. He grew up there. It's the same as our local fair to me. I get excited long before, and make plans and anticipate. Kevin does that with the MLF. I don't always go. In fact, I've missed it for a couple of years running. I don't dislike it, but it doesn't mean the same to me as it does to him. I try to keep the girls occupied while he does his thing. He doesn't expect this, but I try to make it fun for him. This year, I told him to go alone. He can do all he wants without having to worry about me or the girls.
What will we do? Well, the girls have been wanting to have a sleepover. Kevin winces at the thought of screaming, giggling girls. I decided to take advantage of Daddy being out of town. The girls get to invite 4 girls each for a Saturday night sleepover. If all show, it will be 10 girls between 9 and 11 years old. ACK! My best friend will help, and we'll have a ball. We're going to do makeovers and eat snacks and make friendship pins and other crafts. It'll be fun.
Daddy gets to miss it.
This makes Daddy happy. This makes the girls happy. Happy family members makes Mommy happy. A happy weekend is on the way. Now, where will I find OTC valium? Hmmmm. I'll have to keep looking.
There will be pictures. Honest.

You want to know what a happy weekend is? I've found a yearling Foxtrotter filly, halter broke and people-loving, for $200 (negotiable). Pray for your father.
Oh yeah, and she's in Emma. How many people are going to travel THERE to look at a filly?
Is the valium for you or the 10 screaming girls? LOL

Plus... I got some of "those checks" I mentioned this morning. Oh yeah.
You could always invite me over for the sleepover and I could demonstrate the safe way to do keg stands. I mean -- they'll soon all be sneaking out of the house after curfew to attend parties and it's a skill all teens should know so they'll be popular. Oh! I could also demostrate how to carve apple pipes. Children are our future!
Uncle Russ is here for you, hon.
xo,
Russ
You are a BRAVE BRAVE woman.

Can I come?
Sounds like a grand time! You are a good mama
