Ahh...Friday

It's Finally Friday!

- My boys took me to work today. That was nice. The Jeep was acting up last night and the Big Guy wasn't thrilled that I have to drive it so he took the day off and will take the jeep to have it looked at. Nuts. He just called me from the shop and said that it's nothing major so we should be ok - although I won't have the jeep until Monday afternoon.
- Went shopping at Nordstroms with the boys last night. Got me a skirt for Mom's party tomorrow, an Adidas duffle for the Big Guy, 1 Elefanten sandals and 1 K-Swiss tennis for Jake, a Caslon denim jacket (I just love this brand! Finally my JCrew Denim can retire), a pair of khaki capris. Not bad :). Not a major damage but significant enough!
- Doing a working lunch today. Sucks! It's Friday. Gimme a break!
- Busy night doing Mom's last minute details.
- R's last day at work ... one more week and he'll be joining M in IL.
- I miss M :<
- Come Monday, L starts working with us. That should be a hoot.

I really don't have anything else to write about so I'm going to put Jake's favorite bedtime song - I've been singing this to him since he was a baby and until now, without fail, when I'm the one who puts him down for a nap or for the night, this is my song for him....

Leaving on a jetplane

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.
But the dawn is breaking it's early morning
The taxi is waiting, he is blowing his horn
Already I'm so lonesome, I could cry
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you wait for me
Hold me like you never let me go
I'm leaving on a jetplane,
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go
There is so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go I think of you
Every song I sing I sing for you.
When I come back I wear your wedding-ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you wait for me
Hold me like you never let me go
I'm leaving on a jetplane,
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Close your eyes, and I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to comeI wont have to leave alone, and I
wont have to say:
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you wait for me
Hold me like you never let me go
I'm leaving on a jetplane,
I don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh babe I hate to go.

To L: I am so proud of your dedication to Baby J and his accomplishment, no matter how simple, are due to your patience and love for him. Keep up the good work!

Have a good weekend people! Take care of each other. Toodles.
