Nice change...

You know how teens feel that they are "too old" to baby, or to need his/her parents... well, last night, thanks to the storm, my daughter needed me! Yay! It was so bad that we kept losing power. We were up till around 3 am, eeeekkk, but before I knew it, Nikki wanted to sleep in my bed. Wow, been ages since she felt the need for mommy. I always cherish every moment when she feels that way, simply because it is so rare! So, she snuggled up and put on my headband flashlight (for reading purposes, yes I'm dorky that way) and read her book while I was watching my show on TV. Whenever thunder struck, she would grab my arm! Our cats kept going nuts, chasing and scaring each other... this also prompted her to grab my arm! I can tell you it was NOT painless. Those nails! Like I said... nice change! :)
