This Is It...

This is it...the end of the waiting. Angie will be here in a matter of hours. She is currently sitting at the airport waiting for her plane to depart in about an hour. I hope her flight goes well, and that she is able to have a quiet and restful time.

Last night we had a good visit with John and Cindy. Sherri stayed behind to take a nap, but Shannon went fishing with John and Nick. Shortly after they started fishing, it started raining with thunder and lightning, so they had to turn around and come back. Unfortunately, there were no fish caught between the three of them, but they had a good time anyway.

Cindy got a three hour, interactive performance from Joey. He went on non-stop. I was exhausted just watching him. I wonder how long he is going to keep that pace up while Aunt Angie is here. It will be nice for him to have a couple week break to rest up before having to perform for seven more days when Nanny and Papa Buddy come!

Joey has started a new phrase that I am none to fond of. When he gets upset with me over something that I tell him or keep him from doing, he says, "I don't like you." Tonight I was so tired I finally said, "I know you don't, and I'm okay with that." I'm really not okay with it. I know he is just saying it because mommy isn't giving him everything he wants, but I still don't like to hear that my son doesn't like me. I didn't think that he was going to say that for another ten years! He's having a bit of trouble going to sleep tonight. Not that I blame him, I probably won't sleep either. But he is three and I'm....well...a lot older.

I will keep blogging as I get the chance over the next week, but if I am uncharacteristically silent, it's just because I am so busy having fun.
