Yesterday...All my troubles seemed so far away...

...Now it looks as though they're here to stay...Oh, I believe in yesterday...

With all that's been going on today, I almost forgot to tell y'all about yesterday! What kind of a mommy would I be if I just skimmed over the best day so far this work week?

I don't want to say it too loud, for fear that they will hear me, but work is going pretty okay. I'm pretty much caught up with most things, and I'm getting a chance to do some routine file maintenance that I have been neglecting lately due to lack of time. Yesterday was mercifully quiet, and I got started on some of this maintenance. Plugging along, the day went by quickly.

In the afternoon, my sis-in-law dropped by with her sweet little girl to return some folding chairs we had whored out for K's party on Sunday. It's always really nice to see J and K outside of the family party environment...if you're not one of this clan, you can't possibly understand the craziness that is a "simple" family party for these people! It's a huge group, and it's always great fun...just one of those situations where you feel like you've said hello to 30 people without properly visiting with any of them. And even if you didn't really do anything while you were there, you always leave exhausted. :)

The Princess and K played for a while...or to be more accurate, K started pulling out some of The Princess's old toys and my daughter decided that all of a sudden - though she hasn't touched them in months - they are once again the coolest things in the whole wide universe. And ripped them, one by one, out of K's hands and ran them back to her bedroom. Little stinker had a plan...sure, Cousin K can crawl, but The Princess can run like the wind. I'd have been mad if it wasn't so stinking cute.

After J and K left, I decided it was just about time to start making my newly-famous pork fried rice for dinner. The Hubbs, The Princess and I sat down and chowed until we couldn't chow anymore, and then sat around staring at the TV in a stupor. Come 9:00 we were all ready to hit the hay, and we slept like logs until the evil alarm clock declared war once again this morning.
