A fub visits
There is a pertuns bertuns at my house even as I write this. She's reading the Host. Maybe because she's bored. She keeps making yummy healthy treats for us, and I ain't complaining. My mother taught me to always be thankful for what you get.
They arrived at 5:20 am on Tuesday morning. I was sleeping, and was suddenly awoken by the doorbell ringing twice. I layed there and stared blankly. Who would ring my doorbell at this time of day? Surely they can't be expecting me to answer. Or was it the kids? Are they up so early and being so naughty already? WHY? Whatever, I'm not getting it. I snuggled in deeper and try to bring sleep back to myself. Then the slow thought dawns on me. Bethany said that they were leaving Monday night...I just never realized that meant that they would be arriving in the wee hours of the morning. I hopped out of bed, threw on my house coat and ran down stairs as quietly as I could to let them in. It was all in vain, and soon we were all awake. Except for Ben who went to sleep on the floor of one of our empty rooms.
Well, since then there has been fun. Bethany took me shopping for my birthday. I got some teal skinny pants. I love all things teal and turquoise. I can't help it. It's the new red for me. Remember how much I loved red? Well I thought that love would last forever. Apparently not. It's not that I don't love red. It's that I don't love it with the same passion I once did. I'm not drawn to everything red. I wasn't expecting this. I was expecting to love red for the rest of my life in that special way.
Today we did Bethany's hair. She's blonde again.
Other than dealing with children and watching chick flicks, we haven't been doing a whole lot. But there's just something about having a sister around that fills me up. I love it. I'm so glad she's here. I should get back to spending time with her. Plus, the lemon squares are ready, so I'm definitely outta here!
