What would I do with out her?

My next door neighbor, and best woman (call her The Lady) ROCKS! I met her when I was working in HR for a call center, we struck up a warm friendship over cigarettes and shared funny anecdotes about our families. This was 7 years ago and it was also where my husband and I met. Through the years we have brushed across each other from time to time but never really stayed close. I have always felt she is one of the warmest most well-grounded people ever. Shortly after the King and I began dating, she moved in next door to him. They used to date. No, it's not weird. They are the worlds best exes and have a good friendship.

Over the course of time, she and I became close enough that I asked her to be my maid of honor in our wedding. Once our son was born she consented to become his god-mother, we still need to make that official at some point. She is a bastion of sanity in my otherwise crazy world. When the Princess is being particularly royal and Crash has totaled himself, she is always there to help me put the pieces back together.

Speaking of, Crash is presently visiting next-door. Mr. I don't need a nap...I can stay up all day and all night and all day and all night and all day... you get the idea.

Today, we are all adjusting still to the Princess being here all day, and overnight even. I think Crash is going to adjust eventually but I may not be here to see it. There will be a small mushroom cloud where I used to stand. I am glad my kids seem to like each other, when they don't hate each other. This is normal and all to the better. I could wish however that Crash didn't fall apart every time the Princess is out of the room. I know it will pass...before I pass out?
