\"Sleep<\/a><\/p>\n

“We have a limo.\u00a0 Do you want to take the limo the movies tonight?”<\/p>\n

“You really have a limo?”<\/p>\n

“Yes, my dad keeps it at the funeral home.”<\/p>\n

is what I overheard McCanless discussing with her friends, Jennie and Eliza tonight as they were getting all dolled up for their movie date with Mel.\u00a0 Tonight is a milestone for our little girl.\u00a0 It is her first big girl sleepover.\u00a0 It marks the first of many, many sleepless slumber play dates, I’m sure.\u00a0 This was all Mel’s fault<\/span> idea, as he adores Jennie and Eliza and has been hyping up these girls for months for a sleepover at our house!\u00a0 (McCanless has stayed with them several times, so I guess it is all fair play.)\u00a0 He was just as thrilled as they were, however.\u00a0 As I sit here in the momentary peace and quiet as Mary Clare sleeps and I await their arrival from the movies, I wonder if Jennie and Eliza will make it through their first overnighter, if there will be a quarrel, if I can get them to bed at a decent hour, if Mel actually went to get the funeral home limo to ride 1\/2 mile downtown to the movie theater?\u00a0 But mostly, I wonder where the years have gone?\u00a0 Is she really at this age? Five and a HALF she is always sure to tell anyone who asks.\u00a0\u00a0 Time certainly flies.\u00a0 If only tonight would.<\/p>\n
