likethebeerI got one of those out-of-the-blue calls last night from my oldest sister E, mama* to Q and M (M, my nephew, was born on Feb. 13 of this year). She did ask when I was coming out. I have been musing about June. Yes, I originally said I wanted to be out there for Q's birthday, April 4, but that was dependent upon getting my tax refund check. Did my taxes in like the middle of February and didn't get the check until late March. pllllbt.
Anyway, Q got on the phone b/c she likes "the Robot song" off of No! by They Might Be Giants (their first children's CD). I heard a bit of the Robot Song last night. HOLY CRAP! The mothers must be goin' CRAZY listening to that song.
hee. Q told me she loves me. Yes, she's 3 and associates love with "you make me feel good" and "you gave me the Robot Song" but I swear my insides melted and I almost started crying. Everytime I see her, I tell myself I must do anything to see her again as soon as I can. But $$$ woes and life get in the way.
Oh, here's another weird thing--J, Q's mommy, brought No home literally 15 minutes after it arrived, from me, for Q's b-day. J had been thinking about getting the CD for a long time. J has to get used to these psychic moments from the women in our family.
Still, I was totally psyched that I beat the mommy, and that I am the source of happiness for that girl.
I must work to see her. Early June, I'm thinking. Before my parents come out, but after Swiss Miss.
Oh, and meet him, M! my nephew! I wish I weren't so frickin' poor. Any "normal" person would have gone out there 2 weeks after he was born. Oh, well. Can't have everything.
*I have a real problem writing the word "mama" because I want to write the word "Mamah". Those in the know will understand why this is, but I won't go into it b/c this is a public post.
