Party On!

Here I am...sitting at a computer on a Saturday night...feeling quite sorry for myself. It's my Gracie's second birthday. Daddy has just gotten home from work. They will eat dinner, then open presents, then put two big candles on that delicious cake my Allison bakes, and then that sweet little angel will make a wish and, with the help of her wonderful brother, blow out those candles, and I am here...wishing with all my heart that I was with them, hugging them, singing, and seeing her face when she opens those new dishes, pots and pans, and those pairs of princess dress up shoes. Poor Grammy...pity me! This is going to be a week full of pity parties, too! Dee leaves for India...two whole weeks! We have never been that far apart, or been apart for that long...I am dreading it. No phone call (two bucks a minute is simply out of the question, and it's hard to talk for only a minute), time difference (he'll be asleep while we're awake). Poor Suzzy... I guess it's time for something to take my mind off my troubles...and, pity me, there are no Crispy Mint M&M's to be found!
