A minor miracle occurred last night

and it came in the form of sleep. Uninterrupted sleep. Glorious restful sleep. An amazing amount of sleep without the aid of Nyquil. I was exhausted after the party - mentally and physically. Glad it was done. So I came home and sat in a stupor for awhile and decided to read some blogs. Didn't get too far into that before I was ready for bed. So I went to bed at 10:30 and when I next opened my eyes it was 7:32. Now if you are mathematically challenged as I sometimes am, that is 9 hours and 2 minutes. My immediate thought after have I died and gone to heaven was -- how did I sleep that long without going to pee? I cautiously felt the mattress - dry. Relief washed over me - along with the urge to go to the bathroom so I roll out of bed (literally) and head to the bathroom. Here a second miracle occurred........almost. I had almost gone to the bathroom without a tiny voice talking to me through the door. But this was a major important conversation that couldn't wait till I was done.

I know you are thinking the sweet little kids were coming to wish me Happy Mother's Day. Not. Instead it went something like this:

Jacob: "Mom. Mom. Mom."
Me: "What?"
Jacob: "I sold my Gameboy Advance to Wes for 20 bucks and he gave his Gameboy to Carly for free because she doesn't have any money and I gave Wes the Scooby Doo game to go with mine and Carly gave Ryan her old Gameboy so now I want to go to McVan's to buy a Gameboy Advance SP. Can we do that today?"
Me: "Jacob, I'm in the bathroom. I'll be there in a minute".
Wes: "Mom, Jacob sold me his Gameboy Advance for 20 bucks and I gave mine to Carly and she gave hers to Ryan and now we want to go to McVan's to buy games. Can we do that today?"
Me: "Wes, I'm in the bathroom. I'll be there in a minute."
Carly: "Mom, mom - Wes gave me his Gameboy and I gave Ryan my old blue Gameboy but I don't have any money to buy games at McVans today."
Me: "Carly, I'm in the bathroom. I'll be there in a minute."
Ryan: "MOM, MOM, MOM, MOM -- I HAVE MY OWN GAMEBOY!"
Me: Yes, Ryan, I heard.
