I have been without internet for almost (gasp) three weeks! I cancelled my Verizon wireless card (because it was a piece of poo) and ordered high speed internet for the house. Then I waited, and waited, and waited. Then the modem arrived and the line was down!! Finally, yesterday, it was restored! Praise Jesus, I've been online ever since.
Today, Olivia's best friend is spending the day with us. They have been completely smitten with each other since the first day of kindergarten. This year is the first year they haven't gone to the same school, so we're trying to get them together often. I took them to lunch at McDonalds, then we ran into the Dollar General Store and Big Star (have I mentioned that I live in a tiny town that doesn't even have a WAL-MART?!?!) It was in these stores that I realized two things: 1. I only have one child because God is smarter than me. 2. My child isn't as badly behaved as I once thought, she has a lot of company out there.
We're back at the house now, so they are playing beauty shop. They have already put on their pajamas in anticipation of the slumber party tonight. Super cute! I'm thankful for good friends for Olivia, the life of the only child is a lonely one.
Last weekend was a lot more relaxing than this weekend. Mike and I spent three luxurious days and nights together, just the TWO OF US! We returned to the city of our wedding and honeymoon and had a wonderful time. It was the first trip we've taken just the two of us since Olivia was born (except a couple of business trips), and we realized that we needed to do it more. And we will. Soon. Very soon. Is next weekend too soon?
Today, I have at least 500 loads of laundry to do and I promised two VERY EXCITED little girls that they could make cupcakes.
Because I'm silly that way.
Seriously, what was I thinking?
If I survive today, I'll update on all that has happened tomorrow...
