Girls Night(s)

So, Ed is out of town. It's really rare that he travels for work but it does happen once in a blue moon. And we actually enjoy it...outside of my being a little creeped out at bedtime when I suddenly realize I'm the adult in charge of this joint!

He's at Tech recruiting for GE. I think it's neat he gets to go back to his old campus twice a year for their job fairs. So, Reese and I had steak and baked potatoes for supper on TV trays watching Drake and Josh. That is SO against the rules normally at family supper time. But I think she deals with Ed being gone better if we do fun rule-breaking stuff. We then went to church and came back for her planned "slumber party" but she crashed five minutes after climbing into my bed. We both love the broken rule of letting her sleep in the "big bed" when Ed's away. She sleeps uninterrupted when she's in our bed all night which means, more importantly, that *I* sleep uninterrupted. If Ed could sleep with her in our bed, I'd let her stay there til she leaves for college. But, for now, I'm stuck with trekking back and forth between rooms all night. YAWN.

I'm super-duper tired and we are leaving for the beach Saturday. There's so much to do between now and then. But, for now, I need sleep! Sleep now, work later.
