Me Time

At last, The girls are all safely tucked in bed and sound asleep. This is the part of the day where I sit down and sigh. AAAHHH!!! Never mind that it is after 2:00 in the morning and I have to be up by 6:30 so that I can drive Princess Sharaya to Senior Camp. This will be the first time I'm going as a counselor. I have to go so that I can make sure all the boys stay far away from her. Well, not really. I just think it would be neat to be there with her. Thank goodness my dear friend Yvonne is going with me, because I don't want to be in Sharayas space with her friends and Yvonne and I always have such a blast together. She is the best friend a girl could ever ask for. So I figured if Yvonne was there, she'd distract me from keeping too close to Sharaya.
Speaking of Sharaya, she is the Princess and the Pea kind of princess. I started waxing her eyebrows along with mine, after I was forking out 45 buck-a-roos every two weeks. I have to wax her brows in front of a mirror because she has to take a peak, every time I pull the cloth or tweeze what was left behind. If I get to close to her face, she gets a headache or some other kind of crazy sickness. I think she is allergic to me. As long as I stay 6 feet away she is fine. If I get 3 feet away, She starts feeling a heat wave come over her, unless we are wrestling, then she is fine. Just for the record, I can still take her down!!! HA HA However, we haven't wrestled since we moved into our small quarters, and now I have a bad back, but I don't want her to win, so I think we should keeping holding the match off. By the way, She is one tough cookie!!! As soon as Hunter gets a little tougher, I'll have to try and win her. Cant wait for a real home and a new opponent.
Hunter is my Snow White princess, she is always helping out with her younger sisters. She has surprised me by cleaning my whole house several times. Like I mentioned before, she is very sensitive. There was a time, where I was so stressed, my house was a mess, I wasn't feeling well, and I had a million things to do. As I ran my errands, Hunter took it upon her self to clean, and I mean dust, vacuum, sweep, mop, and scrub the house down. I wonder how she will react to the death claws of Mothers Waxing. HEHEHE!!! She has just 18 months left before we can find out.
Isn't it funny ( to all the moms out there ) how when we finally have time to ourselves, all we do is think about our kids? My sweet Honey and I always seem to talk about the cute, funny things our kids have done whenever we are alone together ( which isn't as often as I'd like it to be ). I guess this is because they are my life. I LOVE being a mom to all these girls even if it is pure craziness.
Quote for the day~ Children are a comfort in our old age, and they help you achieve it fast too ~

I really enjoy your blog! It is fun (and funny) to read about the happenings with other peoples kids. Makes me realize that my kids aren't so different with all the goofy things they say and do after all! By the way, Kim and I are working nursery for you and Yvonne on Tuesday night, so have some fun at camp for us!
