A long day....and a long, long night....

Holy flip~  I am so exhausted this morning....I simply can't get out of my own way.

Yesterday was a bonus day....a rainy day....a prime day to get things done around the house.

And we succeeded!  We cooked and cleaned, scrubbed and canned, crocheted and organized.  We filled every moment to the max, and at the end, I was completely empty.  Not another iota of energy left to be expended.

But, as crowning parent achievement, we let our daughter have a friend over for a few hours in the afternoon.  They entertained themselves well, with scarcely a peep to be heard. 

But, unbeknownst to me....they were fully engrossed in the telling of scary stories. 

All seemed fine until about 9 that night.  We were headed to bed, with the plan to rise very early in the morning to get some work done for the office.  And it was right about that time that we learned our daughter really isn't scary story material.

Needless to say....it was a very long night.....

And this may be a very long day....
