What a great night!















Ok...did anyone else have as great a night as I just did? I doubt it! Two weeks ago, I had an evening with Princess Emma Faye. It was awesome. It was just me and her...what a great night that was! But tonight was great too, almost as great as two weeks ago. I had to go to Jeff and Briana's. I finally was able to finish paying Jeff the money I owed him for the work he did for me on a couple of jobs that went very bad earlier this year. That felt so good, it's been like an albatross for me. I haven't slept well the last few months, knowing I owed him money that I couldn't pay him. Now that's done! WOO HOO! Another monkey off my back!


But that's not what made the evening great. What made it great for me was getting to spend time with the grandkids. When I arrived, I was immediately greeted by the boys, Jaiden and Ethan. I was then summoned to their room, to work on a jigsaw puzzle. It was great! We finished the jigsaw puzzle, then we wrestled and played until dinner was ready. It was the most fun I've had since the night with The Princess. I call them my "little buddies", but they are more than that. If Emma is a Princess, then Jaiden and Ethan are truly Princes. What great little boys they are. I know they can be a handful... they are 3yr old boys. And Briana and Jeff have done such a great job with them! I know they can be little heathens, that comes with being boys. But they are so sweet! I love playing with them so much! They bring out the little boy in me, and that is such a great relief for me, after a very stressful week as a "grown up"! I need to do that more often!


Of course, I had to hold little Miss Emma. That was icing on the cake, for me. She didn't talk to me as much as she did two weeks ago...she was tired, I guess, so she fell asleep in my lap. She woke up a couple of times, and fussed a little. But it didn't take long to get her calmed down. She's such a pretty baby! I could hold her all night! But, at the end, she was hungry so I had to give her to momma since it was late and I needed to come home. But what a great night it was!
