Saturday night....

The Easter bunny finally got to come and drop off the baskets that he made for my children. They finally fell asleep at 11:45. They are trying to kill me. Munchkin is gone for the weekend again so I was really looking forward to going ot bed when I wanted and sleeping the night through. Yeah well of course those plans got shot. It is my own fault; I agreed to watch my nieces girls Friday night and my other niece tonight. I wouldn't change anything, I love having them here. It is kind of cool to be Aunt Brandy and them tell you you rock!! Maybe it was growing up not knowing most of my family but I want all of my relations to know me and me to know them. My brothers have kids that I don't know even their names. That is just sad to me. My older sister tried to get ahold of the one brother that has disowned the family (well, my mom mostly and the rest of us are just kinda get lumped in) and he wants nothing to do with any of us. As a matter of fact, the saddest thing my mom has ever told me was one day when she was at the casino, this young guy sat down and started chatting with her about it being his birthdya at the neighboring slot machine. She said she knew exactly who he was cuz she had given birth to him but he had no idea who she was. So, she told him happy birthday and left. When I asked her why she didn't tell him who she was she said she didn't want to ruin his day. Can you imagine? I don;t think I could ever have that kind of relationship or lack of with any of my kids no matter what the future holds. They drive me nuts but they are mine and I am their mother whether they like it or not.
