For All You Doubters and Mockers -

WE DID IT!!!!! 5p.m. to 7 a.m.!!! One trip to Mc Donalds - one break for pizza, 2 sweet teas and 26 pages later - we were truckstering through the dawn home. :-) We had a BLAST!!! I laughed so hard there was a couple of times I thought I just might pee my pants (thanks to the tea).

Kiki was there and Annette and family. And then there's Jackie -what can you say about Jackie. She makes me tired! WAY too perky and not the nice kind of perky.

I returned home to find everyone present and accounted for - even the 4 legged members. I hit the kitchen table, had a cup of coffee, showed my wares, heard the tales of what happened when I was gone, joined Sally in my bed to watch cartoons and was out in about 10 minutes.

I awoke to quiet. Strangely quiet. I figured they weren't home from baseball yet. But as I went to my bedroom door, I observed Jack's baseball uniform strewn exactly where he had taken it off - in the hallway. So they weren't at the game. And where was Mabel? Sadie was asleep on the couch and as I discovered - Mabel was outside on her chain. What a WONDERFUL day - waking up with NO ONE around to BUG you!!!! Again, a cup of coffee and off to watch Dirty Sexy Money, which I had DVR'd. Too good to be true - I was about 1/3 into it and in through the door came a screaming "Hi MOM!!!!" Yes, they were home. Oh, my how I missed them.
