Today is not an average day in the life of Caylie. Well, to start things off, my entire family is in Oklahoma City for one of Christian's basketball tournaments, so I am here all by myself! I don't mind, though. Having the house to myself is actually rather peaceful! They left on Wednesday, and they shall return on Sunday.
Last night, my dear Bliss and Eli spent the night with me. Mimi was going to join the party, because her electricity was out at her house, but after spending a little while here, she decided to go home around 9:00 last night. She is so wonderful. I'm so thankful for her. Anyhoo- I love Bliss and Eli so much. We had a grand ole time watching Gilmore Girls, eating popsicles, and talking.
Today, I'm spending the day with Carolyn!! (That is, until lifeguarding.) I'm rather psyched about it. I think we're just going to go get groceries, bring them back to her house, and then hang out. Possibly even make our nails look really awesome. She learned this really awesome marble nails technique in Germany that she's going to teach me! After that, I have lifeguard class from 4:30 to 9, and then I'm going to spend the night at Mimi's house!
Well, Carolyn is going to be here in approximately 30 seconds! Fare thee well!

I am exhausted.
Hence, the list form. Today...
1. I found out that someone broke into all three of our family's cars. My GPS (Carmen the Garmin!) and my camera were stolen. MY CAMERA! It's become an extension of my body for the past couple of years, so I feel like an amputee or something. Bah. Humbug.
2. Dad had surgery. Everything went well, but I was quite a worry wart and stressed about it all day long. Headaches are no fun.
3. I shuttled kids around all day.At least Tim was with me! Pick Christian and his friends up at school, then pick Carson up at school, then take Carson to sports class, then take the boys to basketball, then pick Carson up, then pick the boys up, then take Carson to soccer...yeah, what? I'm officially familiar with that whole mom "chauffeur" feeling you hear about all the time. It was high stress, too, considering that I didn't have my beloved Carmen to guide me...but somehow it all worked out. Seventeen headaches later!
4. My day was made complete, and all of the stress was made worth it, because I got to not only SEE, but HUG Carolyn! CAROLYN, my one and only Carolyn, who I have talked excessively about to everyone I come in contact with for the entire seven months that she has been in Germany. She came BACK, and I'm so happy. I was shaking, and pushing back tears! She seemed really happy too. I do know that she's really going to miss her life in Germany, though, and I hate that for her. I hope she can go back and visit! Hope she doesn't mind rolling me around in her suitcase...
Well...to say that I am exhaustion in human form would be an understatement.
Big day. Big emotions. God is good through it all.
