Am I Dreaming?

Before I tell you my wonderful news, I will tell you about this morning. Jim called at almost 12 noon. He sounded so happy. He says honey, make room in the freezer. I asked him why. He said he caught 2 salmon last night while out on the boat night fishing. The small one is 33lbs, and the large one is 40lbs. He has pictures of him holding up the fish. He is also going to be on the website of the place where their at for catching the largest salmon this month. He said the other 3 guys he is with, Joe, Brad and Jay all caught fish, but none were even close to 33 and 40 pounds. He has them being cleaned and packaged and will be bringing it all home tomorrow. I'm glad he'll be home tomorrow, I miss him. And of course my daughter Emma said, Mommy don't forget me, I want some salmon. She loves it cooked under the broiler with lemon juice, butter and pepper. And salmon she is going to get too.

Now for my surprise. Emma calls me about 1pm and says, Mom do you need a break? A break I said. She said yea a break. I asked, What kind of break? She says well how about if Rebecca comes over tonight and spends the night? HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I'm like ok, but what's the catch? She says, no catch. Dan suggested that Rebecca spend the night and give me a little break for all I have done for them the past couple weeks. Well, you know I took them up on that offer. I packed her an overnight bag, a few stuffed animals to sleep with, her pillow and her duckie blanket and off to Emma's we went. I stayed there a couple hours, played with Daniel, held my baby granddaughter Adrianna who actually stayed awake in my arms for about 3 minutes, lol. Emma asked if I wanted to stay for dinner. I told her are you kidding? I don't have a kid tonight, so I am going home to enjoy that quiet time and clean my house with no interruptions. Listen to some music while cleaning. Have a Boston Market turkey and mashed potato tv dinner and a salad, and enjoy my evening alone. I'm going to soak in a nice hot bubble bath, shave my legs, wash my hair, and enjoy my little part of heaven. So if I am dreaming, please don't pinch me or wake me up cause I am really enjoying the quiet right now, lol.

My vacuum took a major crap the other day, so I brought the vacuum I gave to Emma home so I could vacuum without Rebecca chasing it with a stick like she always does, grrrrrr. She uses my wooden back scratcher to chase it. Rebecca is going to call me before she goes to bed so I can blow her night night kisses over the phone.

Wow, no husband, no child, oh my gosh. I think I'm in shock, lol.

 

I'll be back later.........................CINDY

  19. I'm with LJ.. salmon patties are my fav. WOW those are huge. Tell Jim to let the other guys have some fun too. I'm glad to hear he's having some fun. That's nice.
    Sounds like you got the best deal out of everyone. Peace and quiet sure is nice every once in awhile. You deserve it. After all the hectic stuff going on, you need some down time.
    Enjoy.
