1,000th POST EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!!

IN HONOR OF MY ONE THOUSANDTH POST, I SHALL BLOG ENTIRELY IN CAPITAL LETTERS AND EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!! OK, so maybe not. That gets irritating really fast.

Instead I shall revel in my new found lack of responsibility....at least for the next 24 hours. You see, I have escaped the farm. I'm lounging in the tiny realm of my mother & doing little to nothing unless I really want to. It's amazing how easy it is to care for one laid back toddler after dealing with 3 over-the-top crazy FarmHands all day every day. This is truly the life.

Add to that three adults in a house with only the one toddler. There are plenty of big people to chase her, play with her, comfort her, feed her, entertain her, and laugh at her. Bitsy is loving it! She's never really been the sole center of attention before.

Call me irresponsible....I'm loving it.

Don't get me wrong. I miss my babies. I've talked to them each twice. They are surviving. Husband bought them Cheetos. Uncle Little BIL is visiting. Their life is good. At lest until bed time...then things are a bit tough since Daddy doesn't know the exact magical incantations that keep little boys glued in their beds. He called last night & I filled him in on the details. He didn't call back in a panic, so I'm assuming they all fell asleep eventually.

So, I'm off to lounge, shop, kiss on my perfect nephew, visit, and play with Art while basking in the love of home.

And best of all, My Daddy's feeling good. His blood sugar is down (130 this morning...not GREAT, but not horrible), his blood pressure is down, and the research has begun. He gives himself a shot every morning and has started watching his food intake closely. Now he's dreaming of a mountain bike. Maybe we'll shop for one of those today too.

I was so excited, I hit post twice on a comment that I hadn't finished.

Anywho - enjoy every minute of being on your own. You've earned it.

Glad to hear that your dad is doing better and finally come to his senses. He obviously realized that he would never survive the combined will of you and your mother. Very smart man. Get him on a bike stat!
