SHE'S HERE, SHE'S HERE!

Shhhhhhhhh...........  My sister is still asleep.  So am I, sort of.  It was almost 3am when we finally said 'goodnight' and went to bed.  That was just a few hours ago.  My children went to bed long before we did.  They are not tired.  They are wide awake.  I have tried to reason with them, weekends and summers are for sleeping in!  You won't always be able to sleep in so do it while you can!  Do it so I can!  But alas, they don't take that advice any more readily then they take any other maternal advice I share with them... Little turds, may they all be blessed with half a dozen little oompa loompas of their own with lousy sleep habits and major gas problems!

I got to see some of my sister's photographs.  Did I mention that she was a mall photographer?  You know, the ones that take pictures of whiney, snot-nosed kids sitting on Santa or the Easter Bunny's water-proofed lap in between JC Penny and Foley's.  Well, I guess she was good at that, I know she always had a talent for making my whiney kids smile, but her talents are wasted there.  This lady can click a shutter!  She had the opportunity of photographing one of the most beautiful places in the world, my homestate of Hawaii, and her pictures are absolutely awesome!  Her sunsets are phenomenal.  I can't wait to get her out here in the foothills to see what she will capture.  I am once again in awe of my sister.

Of course that will have to wait until she wakes up.  If memory serves me correctly, she is one to enjoy her sleep.  And with her children all having moved out, she has the luxury of being able to sleep in.  She doesn't  have to rely on a pot of coffee to get herself jump-started in the morning.  In fact, she can't even stomach my coffee.  She claims it will grow hair on her chest.  Thats not true or I'd have a fuzzy chest by now.  It might however explain my rapidly replenishing pit hair though.

LOL yes, children will sleep in.  When you have to go somewhere, it's in their genes.  I hope you have a great time with your sister.
