A long and lovely day

I had a really good day. It took a lot out of me... But what day doesn't. I didn't get to hear from Daddy today. But it's ok. I know he's thinking of me. I don't have that blue feeling this time. Maybe it's because I was out and around people without being in a cubicle and having to sell things to people all day...
Got up this morning. Cereal for kids. The normal random clean up. Which included the kids because Bubba and Pinky decided to put their bowls on their heads when they were done. Then did my hair, put twins down for a nap & went to meet MM at QT... Took her on to base with me because her car is in shop that has sticker.
Went to FRG meeting. What a wonderful group of ladies I met today. JW was there, so I had already met her. But so many others. It was a decent showing of wives who all seemed to love their service members at least a third as much as I love mine... ;) Just kidding. I love this supportive bond. A couple of them I had "met" with on FB but it was nice to put a real face to their online personas.
When I got home, you should've seen the mess that was there. I left C and L in charge while I was gone for that 3 hour period. And of course everyone was hungry. So I made waffles (0ut of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix because we were all out of Hungry Jack), eggs (my Southwestern style with bell peppers, onions, cheese and tomatoes), grits and bacon. After the GREAT SYRUP ADVENTURE 2009, the twins and Bruiser needed a bath. I have been busy all day at this point and I was so upset because I was going through in my head what I could have put off because I thought we were going to be late to MM's house for her 1 yr old's bday celebration.
Turns out, they were just arriving home not too long before we got there which was about 7:30 PM. We ate lasagna ( I asked for the recipe because it was very good), salad, and cheese bread. And afterwards had cake and ice cream. The kids all seemed to have fun playing with her little ones and of course finding new things at someone else's house to get into.
I met MM's mom, aunt and uncle, Dad, and nephew. She has a really nice family. It was a little bit of a drive to get there and back. But we got home about 10:30. Tried to put everyone down but I guess we are off track a bit. It's now 4 minutes til midnight and the twins won't go to sleep. Bruiser and Princess are tired but hanging in there. And I have to muster up the strength to clean and deal with the hoopla tomorrow for my Grandpa's street naming ceremony.
I told the girls about it. They thought it was so cool and sounded so excited to go. Which means I am going to have to pack all the kids up to go in the cold. But it's an important piece of our family history so...
I really hope I get a Sunday paper tomorrow or I am going to have to call them a second time to complain about my subscription not starting. UGH. I hate it when more crap piles itself on my plate! Well, seeing how I keep dozing off, I guess that's a sign that I should go to bed now. Wake up early and get as much as I can done, then go to the thingy.
I wish my hubby was here. There's so much I want to share with him... Some of which can only be done in his physical presence... :) I love you, hubby of mine.
