What a Day!!!!!!

Mama said there would be days like this!
No doubt you've all heard this a time or two. Today started out a normal beautiful day. Lil Victor spent the night with me and we had to get up early to go to the doctor today for his 5 year old well check up. Abigail was getting a well check too. I told Marla that I would not mind going with her to help with Maddie and Abigail. It's a good thing I did. It's tough with three.....need I say more.
Left the doctor's office (glowing healthy reports, Thank you Lord) to go and have lunch with cousins, Mary Jane and Susie. Anne could not make it. We sat outside at Buckheads enjoying the sunshine, river and a laugh or two. I left to make a stop at St. Anthony's cemetery . Today is Daddy's 5 year anniversary of his passing. I told my friend Gwen that there are some days that it seems like yesterday and today it seems like an eternity since I've seen him. It was a very tough day. I know for certain that it's our loss but Heaven's gain.
I met Meredith and Sam at mom's around dinner time and mom seemed to be doing pretty good. Meredith brought her a beautiful flower from her yard. She always brightens up when she is with the little kids. They love her.
We got a very scary call from Marla and Victor! I man driving drunk and high on drugs ran into Marla's parked car on their street. Marla's car then pushed Victor's call all the way up the street hitting a house to stop it. We are all sooooooo greatful that no one was hurt. Victor had just got out of his car less than 2 mins before it happened. Oh the power of the Lord and our Guardian Angels. No doubt in my mind my dad interceeded someway somehow. Offer a prayer of thanksgiving.
Sam spent the night only to go home at 4:45A.M.!!!!! Yes, that's right 4:45..he went to bed around 9:30 and was very tired. He and Meredith spent the day at the zoo with Tonya and kids, Marla and the kids. They all had such a good time. Around 1:10 A.M. I hear, "Mama, Mama." I tried to do what Meredith does and not talk too much to him and tried to wait him out a bit. No way! At 2:30--3:00 we were reading books, drinking more milk. watching Fox News and Sam was getting restless. I decided to take him home because I have to watch the Beeler crew at 8:00A.M......I should be in bed but I can't sleep.
Anyway, he laughed and played with my cell phone all the way home. He was thrilled to see Mama and DaDa.......Sorry guys. Guess you can't predict the sleeping pattern of a 16 month old.
We'll try again.
Better get some "shut eye" as lil Victor calls it!
