HELPPPPPP!!

This week has been crazy! I have seen Nick a total of about 3 hours since last Friday! He has been working major overtime. He worked twenty hours yesterday, got home at 3:30 this morning and just left to do it again today. I feel so sorry for him! Hopefully he will be able to get off in time for Gabby's first Halloween. I worked Saturday, Sunday and Monday night. I knew my day would be crazy Tuesday, so I left work an hour early just to catch a nap. Nanny's brother passed away and the funeral was in Oklahoma on Wednesday and Dad and her were flying out Tuesday afternoon. After running back into town to pick my niece, Kynsleigh up (she spent the day with us Tuesday and Wednesday) it was back to Nanny's to take her to the airport. Mom asked if I would make sure she packed everything she needed. The last time Nanny packed her own suitcase she left out most of the essential items: underwear, shirts, etc. They were only spending one night in Oklahoma so she didn't need much. She did pretty good packing everything she needed but for some reason she thought she needed 6 pairs of panty hose, 2 things of deodorant and 4 hair nets. She reminds me of when I was little. I would get mad at Mom and Dad and tell them I was running away. I grabbed my " Going to Grandma's" suitcase and filled it with doll clothes. Every time, Mom would sit me down and tell me she needed to make sure I packed enough warm clothes. By the time she got done going thru the suitcase I had forgotten why I was mad and the whole running away thing was over. Anyway, I had called Nanny and told her I was bringing her lunch but when I got there , there was evidence of several candy bars that had been eaten and she had just opened a root beer. She refused to leave the root beer there and she tried stashing it in her purse for the plane. She thought she would be able to hide it from security. Can you imagine them finding an opened "beer" bottle in her purse? When we got to the airport we parked in the ten minute parking to wait for Dad. As she sat there and stared at the timer she said, " You know, when I was born those people would have never guessed something like this would ever be invented." Was she amazed that there were massive machines with engines flying thru the sky? No, that little timer kept her fascinated till Dad got there. I felt so sorry for Dad. They had a long flight with a two hour lay over and Nanny was hyped on candy bars. He did text me and tell me that Nanny swears she is able to see tractors driving from cruising altitude. I knew her eye sight was good, just not that good. After another day of taking care of two wild girls, Wednesday I was beginning to feel what it was like to be a single mother. I didn't realize how much Nick helps out. So if anyone would like a wild child I would probably be temped to give her away. Atleast for a few hours. I was able to take a few pictures of Gabby in her Halloween costume before she had a complete come apart. Doesn't she look so cute? The other picture was one of her fall pictures taken by my cousin. I love it! She looks so big with her hand on her hip.
