]]> I love Christmas decorations especially the ones at the AK’s house. This year Little AK added a naked mermaid. Who doesn’t love a naked Christmas?  It gets a little chilly, sure, but just turn the heat up and enjoy.

]]> On Sunday RLO and I took Little AK to brunch with us.  Her parents were out of town and we naively offered to spend an hour or so with her.  Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Little AK, but she is a handful.

After brunch we tried to take her to a movie, which she was adamantly against. At that point RLO decided he wasn’t cut out for pseudo parenting, (which we already knew) and dropped us off at my apartment so he could go home and nap. He’s obviously in a heap of trouble and will only be forgive by sneaking in chocolate when we go to see a movie on Wednesday night.

When Little C walked into my apartment the first thing she said was, “It’s going to be very hot in here, I think I’d better take my pants off for this.”  I couldn’t help but laugh, since that’s the first thing I do every time I walk in the door, no matter if I have company or not.  It was then that I picked her up and gave her a big hug and kiss.  It’s the little things kids say that keep you from killing them.  I’m convinced of it.

]]> Last night I went over to Mrs. AK’s house for a much needed BFF night.  It’s been a tough week.  School is kicking my ass, and a comment from a co-worker really got under my skin and pissed me off.

Needless to say, I needed my BFFs and a nice glass of wine.

Little AK was ecstatic to see me, and I was just as happy to see her.  I’ve been too busy for BFF night, and man have I missed my second family.

After hugging me for a good five minutes Little AK requested we play in the other room.  “Honey let me have a glass of wine first.  It makes me soooo much more fun to play with.”  She nodded understandably and followed me into the kitchen.

Thirty minutes of bossing RLO around and catching up with Mrs. AK, I turned around to find Little AK pointing her finger at my glass, “Sarah drink your wine right this very second.”  And you know what?  I did just that.  I think it’s important to let kids think that they are in charge on occasion.  So for good measure I drank two.
