That Cinderella Feeling

There was another birthday in the family today so, while the parents went out to celebrate I was asked to babysit. :) I love my niece and nephew and except for some very minor complications the day went smoothly without any incident. So smoothly in fact my niece decided to let me take some super cute pictures of her to use for today. The kids played with their friends and gave me time to study (which was great!) and at the end of the day I was even able to bathe them and put them to sleep with no crying! Yeah, I am that good.

But, there was more going on today than my babysitting. It was the Winter Ball here on campus and I almost have that Cinderella feeling right now. I helped one of my best friends get ready for the ball. I saw the hair, the make-up, the heels, and the gorgeous dress. She looked fabulous. Her prince for the night came and escorted her away. She left and I began to pick up the mess. I put everything away and straightened the kitchen, the bathroom, the living room. I tried to make it all look neat and tidy and that was that. My day was over. I, Cinderella, cleaned up and watched everyone go off to the ball., except un-like Cindy my fairy god mother forgot to show up with a pumpkin carriage. Tonight wasn’t my night to meet Prince Charming. And that is okay.

The final songs from the ball are now drifting through my windows and I hope my friends are having an awesome time. :) I know they must all look amazing with their prince or princesses of the night. I am content to have had time with my family today and know that some day, my prince will come.
