Catching Up

Oy. I know it's just after six o'clock, but I need to go to sleep. I think I made nearly 200 I.D. cards today. Thank god the kids are so nice.

So my cousin did arrive Sunday night and, per usual, I was left out of the information loop, because that's what always happens. My sister was supposed to call me and tell me that they got in, and what time breakfast was in the morning, and when I finally called her at ten, she said "Come on over! Everybody's here!" Yeah, swell. But I went over with K, and even the Hubs dropped in from his walk, which was a little unexpected and made me happy, and then last night, both of the girls and I went over for dinner. I can't be too angry at the Sibs because she's under a whole lot of pressure this week, with people in the house and all, and my cousin is like a whirlwind that only touches down occasionally, and after all, it is the Sibs' son who's getting married on Friday. So we're okay. I'd like to think that I might be a higher priority for my cousin, but she does what she does and fits everybody in where she can; I guess I just didn't fit into a bigger time slot this visit.

But really, if I could have a dream come true -- other than that lottery thing -- what would it be? R may have met a guy she seems to like, so that's number 1, and Wonderful Niece claims to have met the perfect guy for K, which is number 2, but the backup for number 2 is that R's guy says he has a lot of single friends. Hoo-eee! I hate to get my hopes up, but I swear, this morning I had a dream that I was cleaning the house because the guy's parents were coming over to meet us, as in, what you do immediately following your children's engagement. But it's not like I'm eager or anything.

I fell into a Seals and Crofts mood mood the other day, and listened to a bunch of their stuff on headphones, and oh how I love that stuff! One song particularly got me; I've posted the lyrics below. I saw them in concert once and they were wonderful.

Okay, waiting for the kid to call. Maybe she has big news to tell me! (Just kidding. They've been on one date.)
