g-ma clifford is here. 
for a whole week. 
there is lots of cuddling, squealing, cooing, crawling, and frolicking going on around here… 
and b is as happy as a go-go dancer too. 
i love having company like i love that psych is back on tv.
and moms are my favorite guests.
when my mom comes, we get projects done,
laugh lots, and leave happy.
when cc’s mom comes, 
its more of the same.
lets say in the 24 hours she’s been here 
we have made 3 swig runs and 2 home depot runs.
and we like ourselves.
having my MIL around has reminded me of 2 things:
1) i was once a very intense mom.
the poor thing tip toes around here like she is going to offend this newish mom that was once so tied up in schedules and stimulation and germs and it makes me smile.
{ps: i am not that mom anymore. }
2) i really love not working a 9-5.  
as we were using power tools and playing catch with friend’s dogs i realized that kids in this neighborhood are at school slaving away at time tables, their dads are sitting in a trailer at a job site somewhere punching numbers and taking names…
and i am here, with my MIL and my cute kid just working on fun projects 
…but mostly playing.
i love my life.
