My Sweet Baby Girl

Hello girls! I hope this finds you both doing well and having enjoyed a lazy Sunday.
Here...NOT!!!! Ringo and I gave the kitchen a deep cleaning, waxed the floors, repainted all of the cabinet doors, threw away all of the dusty ivy...lol...and generally decluttered! ( This seems to be a theme lately with us ). I cannot even believe the layers of dust on top of the refrigerator! And the nails are absolutely ruined by all of the 409 usage to clean the grease build up from the chickens...LOL...Now they look like chickens again! But, even though I feel like I have been run over by a truck and walking like Fred Sanford, it is nice knowing that that project is done...now on to the next! It seems like the more you do, the more you notice that you need to do. I am just getting too old for this.
Maybe that nice retirement community in Fairhope is looking better and better...LOL.
Gypsy, my heart is aching for you today. I know how you are feeling. Letting them go is not easy. This is something I have really struggled with these last few months. But, aren't you so very proud of the wonderful man your son has become? (It was so good seeing him Friday. MB thinks he is just the bees knees :) He is finding his way in life and I can't wait to see where it leads him. I am just so proud of our children for not being afraid to step out and see what other places have to experience. I wish I could hug you right now. :)
Blondie, where have you been, girl??? I have missed you here! Please write and catch us up on what is going on in your life. A new job? :)
On Friday, my sweet MB turns 15. This is, I can tell already, going to be an emotional week. She will be going to get her permit next week. I can't believe she is getting older. I would give anything to turn back the clock and go into her room and have a good old game of Barbies or My Little Pony again. You know, she would probably play with if I asked her. :) I can so see us doing this this week to mark her 15th birthday. I may even have to buy her a new Barbie for old times sake. It is just so depressing to me to even walk down that isle at Walmart. I have a hard time not going down it. I can remember when I had to go down it with her to drool over the latest one and would just want get my grocery shopping over with...now I would love to be "drug" there again by a little hand.
Why is it so hard letting them grow up? Mama didn't tell me how hard this was going to be.
She is happy that Jess is coming home this weekend and so am I! She has had a tough week at work and is so looking forward to coming home. I love it when she comes home and curls up in her bed in the Beachy Room and sleeps like a baby. I am hoping that we can have a girls day at the beach on Friday. I actually have no orders for Friday! YAY!
Well girlies, I will close for now. My bed is calling.....Going to go take vitamins, Gypsy :) and hopefully get some sleep tonight.
I wish you both could be here to share a cup of Sleepytime tea with me.
Goodnight kisses and hugs to you both.
Sweet Dreams.
Love,
Candygirl
