Sometimes Friday is Just Like Every Other Day

This is one of those times. We've been home all week with colds, so Friday is nothing special today. Usually the girls are all excited about it being library day, but today the only excitement it held was that it was trash day. That's not exactly something I typically celebrate. I think we're moving in the right direction with our latest illness. If we could move away from this one and not move toward the next one I would be most appreciative. Just a simple request, really. Gary left for Ohio today (spent last night in KC), so it's just us girls for a couple days. Hanny is spending her time at Meme's, so I only have two little hoodlums to contain. We have a good time, albeit a rather uneventful time, together. We've spent the greatest portion of the week coloring, watching movies and sharpening colors. I know...the skills of a mom are just endless. I went to the doctor this morning and took the twinkies down to Meme's. They gave me strict instructions to bring home a coloring book and highlighters from Dollar Tree. They even planned to send me some of their own money, but I took care of it this time. It was so precious that they had gotten money out of their banks that I just couldn't make myself use it. They've been saving up for about 7 weeks to buy a movie (I think). I know that Doodle is planning to buy "Marley and Me" (we saw it at Christmas - great movie). The other two change their minds almost daily about what they plan to buy. They've done a great job saving, though. I'm very proud of them. They've spent a dollar here and there to buy something they wanted, but they've saved the majority of it.

We're going to have a rip-roaring time here tonight. I bought the girls each their own TV dinner. You have to understand that they get very excited when they get to have TV dinners. It is a true treat for them. So we're going to have TV dinners (them) and Lean Cuisine (me) for supper while we watch Madagascar Escape 2 Africa for the 472nd time. I can't complain, though. As long as I get to spend some time and make some memories with two of the sweetest angels in the world I'll be happy. I'd write more, but I'm being paged. The little angels are looking for their coloring buddy. I'm getting pretty good at it...
