Things are a-changin' around here!! Never has it been more obvious that tonight when I went to rescue Lauren. This is the text I got: "Somebody has a splinter in her toe." I showed it to Robbie and he said, "Is it the big girl or the little girl?"...which is all relative because the "big girl" is not much taller or bigger than the "little girl." So I grabbed my medical equipment (my sewing pin magnet), put on my ha hops (Kaylee's word for flip flops), and jumped on the golf cart to go perform surgery.
Whoa!!! That's the thought that went through my head and out of my mouth as I realized that I was just inches from Travis's hunting truck. Wow!!! It was DARK down there! When the power got disconnected, so did the yard light which had served to illuminate the way path to the three different houses -- ours, Casey's, and Lauren's.
I was NOT going to call Robbie and tell him to come light my way -- I would have had to listen to that FOREVER-- so I pretended I was blind and "listened" my way. The gravel makes a very distinct sound and when I couldn't hear it I eased over to the right or left until I could hear it again.
The surgery was postponed for a day or two, so after some really good Carsyn sugar, several games of patty cake, and an emergency call for computer help, I headed back home. Words cannot explain what a complete idiot I looked like holding my cell phone out in front of me to see where to turn up across the yard.
Yep, things are definitely going to be different. I may even have to get me a spotlight.
In other news that only school people can understand, when I get up tomorrow I can say to everybody, "It's only five more Mondays until summer vacation!"
