crowded house...

as if I haven't already been distracted from my little blog to the point of barely posting anymore it looks like a good part of the summer (if not longer) is about to be consumed

apparently my niece is coming for a visit... although the way my sister is talking it might end up being more than a visit - we'll see... either way I don't anticipate there being much time for blogging in the near future

this should be quite an adventure... I've never had a kid for more than a few hours without a parent present to make and enforce the rules - it started out with her coming to visit for a couple weeks... now it's sounding more like a month or maybe the whole summer - maybe even longer!!

my niece loves me - because I'm the happy happy fun-time person... my inner child is very apparent so I'm good at the play time stuff - we'll see how she deals with me when things can't always be fun & games - because I can't have her here for that long and neglect my other household duties (like I tend to do when they come for a visit)

I'm sure this all sounds crazy to you breeders out there who are used to having kids around... but I'm sooooooo NOT used to it

I'm good with the more grandmotherly activities and then sending the kiddo back to mommy when fun time ends... but the difference between me and grandma is grandma's have had the benefit of being mothers first hehehe

I never even babysat as a teenager!!

so it should be interesting... wish me luck!!

in other news:

AC moved in with us a couple months ago... I haven't blogged about it yet because well... he hasn't spent a single night here since he moved in haaaa
we moved our bed out to the far end of our living room (a basically unused area) and gave him our bedroom which he has pretty much filled to the rafters with everything he owns and now he stops by once or twice a week for a change of clothes

his reason for staying with us was so that he could get away from his wackadoo girlfriend - he was actually supposed to leave there two months earlier and it took him that long just to tell her he was leaving - once he did that he had his stuff moved out within a week or so and like I said another 2 months has gone by

so basically he's still living with her with the added inconvenience of everything he owns being in a house in another freakin' county 40+ minutes away!!

I'm not really sure how this will work out having the monkey here AND AC - but I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it

anyway... that's what's going on here

now for your listening pleasure:
