I have been a bit....let me see...fried the last few days.  I mean in serious need of a break.  Low and behold a friend of mine called and asked if the kids and I would like to come over and spend some time together. Her hubby was on a business trip and we could have a long afternoon/evening visit. I consulted with my darling dearest and he not only said that was great for me but that our youngest (18 month old boy) could stay home with him so I wouldn't have to run and chase him...........I think I actually heard angels singing LOL That sounded heavenly. So I went (even though I LOVE to spend time with the love of my life) and I had a blast. We talked and laughed and ate and laughed, the kids played without fighting...it was divine. I was so in need of a visit with a good friend. We enjoyed each others company until 11PM!!! When I called to tell my hubby that we would be home in a few minutes he wasn't at all upset about the late hour or the long visit. He said that he and Seamus had a great time watching the World Series and that he was so happy that I got time to have some fun.  I LOVE MY HUBBY!!! I almost never do things like that...in fact I can't remember the last time I did, but boy did I enjoy it.  She also homeschools and knows exactly the type of days that make your eye twitch :) Well I must go and snuggle with my wonderful, loving, caring, handsome husband. Praise God for him and for my friend. Ahhhh I needed that.
