~UNEXPECTED FUN~

I have had a good couple of days and I guess it just reminds me that many times some of the "best" times are those unplanned special times!
We had been to church yesterday morning and I was just getting ready to head to the YMCA with the 3 oldest when the phone rang. A good friend from church laughed and said "this will come out of the blue...but are you up for a girls night out!" She had plans that had fallen through so a couple of women from church were going to go out...and enjoy an evening free of kids! Could I join them! Now I must say it has been a long time since I went out with the "girls" but I did and it was fun. We just talked and talked...for over 3 hours! It was nice to just be me and not the 4 kids mom right then! I know it is important to have those kind of nights...but since we adopted JM it just has not happened...so thank you girls it was fun!
Fast forward to today. SF is off this week, so I had planned to meet with my 92 year old "friend" and see if he needed anything. We have been trying to get a will in order as well as "funeral" arrangements. Not light-heartd topics of conversation but necessary none-the-less. So after I spent a couple of hours with him I brought him home with us. We had thought we would go get Chinese...but as it turned out when I got home the 4 munchkins were not in the mood to "go-out" so I made the dinner I had planned to make and we all stayed in! It was fun. SF, Alick and the kids played cribbage and other cardgames and we just enjoyed each others company. We are so blessed with our friends...friends of all ages! I'm so glad I got to spend sometime with some of my friends in the past couple days! OK all for now!
