Drama Queen

We're already TWO days into the New Year! This is the last day of E's 'vacation' from school and this morning she asked if we could keep from bothering her all day because she wants to play in her room and enjoy her last day.

I let her spend the night with a friend on New Year's Eve. That night marks the first time she has ever been allowed to spend the night with anyone other than grandparents. I just knew she would call me at bedtime and want to come home.

Didn't happen.

Instead, she called and said something like, "Goodnight, Mom. Love you". Click.

It's possible she was forced to call me at bedtime.

When Eric picked her up yesterday afternoon, she had stayed at her friend's house exactly 20 hours - 8 of those were spent sleeping. Yet she walked in, looked around our home and said, "I think I remember this place. It's all coming back to me now".

Drama queen.

I'm going now to 'bother' the queen and let her know that her bed still has to be made and her room cleaned ...... even on the last day of vacation.

A girl can never catch a break, can she?

Pictures of E one year ago ..... time is flying by!

She's not going to take being "disturbed" very well, I have a feeling! :-)

Isn't sad how FAST they grow up! It makes me cry everytime I think about it.
But I can say - I have a "Drama Queen" on my hands and it doesn't get ANY better. I asked her to clean her room and help pick up things around the house and she informed me she wasn't my SLAVE!....OH my goodness - I couldn't believe she said that to me. Anyway enjoy them while you can!

I raised two girls - this cracked me up. 'Bothering her'.... you may be in for quite a ride!

Wow what a milestone -- spending the night off with a friend for the first time! Glad everything went well.

Time truly does go by so fast, doesn't it? Amazing how much E has changed in just 1 year! BTW...she is absolutely adorable!
