Just a quick update before we begin proceedings: With the birth of her child on Jan. 2, my friend and co-worker, Sarah is on Maternity Leave for the next three months. Because this is such a busy time of year for us at work, I've agreed to work full-time for the time that she's gone. I just finished my first week of "Full Time", and I'm wiped! Props to all of you Full Time Moms who are also "Full Time" employed somewhere else. It's very draining!
This past Thursday was a juggle for me. My parents had to bring Becca to the airport, but they couldn't take Madison because she had school. So arrangements were made that Mom and Dad would drop Madison off at school before they left town (with Malachi and Becca). I'd pick her up when she was done, take her back to work, where my ever-so-gracious sister-in-law, Cara would pick her up and take her to her place, about 20 minutes away. Everything went down without a glitch, and for that, THANK YOU Mom, Dad, Cara, and anyone else who made it happen!
So anyway, back to my story:
When Cara came to pick up Madison, she asked her if she'd want to go to Syna's house because Brett (Syna's 4 year old son) and Daniel (Brett's cousin) were there. Of course, Madison said "yes" (In part, because she's smitten with Daniel.) So Cara put her in her van and off they went. They got to the intersection where, if they were going to Daniel's or Cara's, they'd have to turn left. And because they were going to Brett's instead, they went straight. Madison must've misunderstood Cara's prior question, because she thought they were supposed to "turn here" and go to Daniel's house. Cara said, "no," they weren't going to Daniel's house, but to Brett's house where Daniel was. "Oh," Madison replied, "Well this is the way to Mackenzie's friend Hannah's house."
Now let me explain why this was impressive: Mackenzie is Cara's daughter, who's friends with Brett's older sister Hannah. So she was absolutely right, they were going to Hannah's house! And Madison had only been there a couple of times before...and they don't even live in our town!
Smartie Pants!

I can't believe you are working full time right now! At this point I can't imagine going back to work full time, I would miss my girls so much and I would never get anything done around the apartment! Can't wait to see you guys this weekend...Maddie is getting really excited!!!
