How I MISS my helpers!!!

Oh how I miss my helpers!  It has only been a day and I already have Mom and Sister withdrawls!  They cooked, they cleaned, they did laundry, they drove, they changed poonami diapers, they baked, they played with my kids (and loved it) and did a million other helpful things for me and my family. 

Sarah even stuck a lemon in the chicken's "cavity" (aka - the neck hole) to make dinner for us - I would have spent a lot of time trying to shove it up it's butt! LOL 

My mom was even the official torturer of Lucius when we had to keep him awake and I couldn't be mean enough LOL!  Here she is giving out cuddles and reading stories in the morning.

I have to admit that I cried a little when each of them left (and then went off on my own and cried a lot - I blame the hormones). Check out the baking: (which we all know I am less than USELESS at)

I also got a lot of crap learned a bunch of things from them:

1. I actually DO have a mixer (thanks mom, who knew?)  My poor mom mixed the cookies by hand and then discovered the mixer.
2. I do NOT have cooling racks (and apparently they are VITAL)
3. I don't have a broom and never missed one (built in vac here) but my sister complained ("they are only $10")
4. I had no wooden spoons so my mom made Snuffy go out and buy some.  I never knew they were important either.
5. I have absolutely no idea if I have any baking ingredients, it's always a surprise to me if I do.  One of the best laughs I had all week was when Sarah asked me if I had Cream of Tartar!  ROFLMAO!!!!  Not a chance!!  I don't even know what it is or what it does!

I absolutely LOVE them both to bits and appreciate every minute they spent helping me!  And as I told Sarah, "only the BEST people have ever washed my floors!" THANK YOU BOTH!  (now if only I could get them to move in LOL)
