Anticipation!

It just so happens that the day for a princess in a far away land is fast approaching for her to welcome her new son into the world. The princess and her handsome prince have been very excited for this day to arrive. They have made many preparations in the palace for the arrival of this precious little prince. They have a cradle set up for him, clothes galore gathered from all about the kingdom and the surrounding areas and all the necessities have been put into place. They even have the carriage and the seat in which to carry the young lad when the princess goes out and about.

Alas, the mother of the princess, Princess Sunshine, who lives in another land very far away is not quite so prepared. She has been a slothful servant, indeed. She has squandered away her days doing whatever pleases her most at the moment. Oh, she does go about doing good, make no mistake about that, but she has not made the preparations required for the journey to the land of the beautiful princess. And it is a long journey, indeed.

Today is a big day for Princess Sunshine. She must go to the village and do some important work and then she must make herself busy preparing her carriage for this very important journey. Sunshine needs to send forth messengers to the far away land to inquire as to when the pretty pretty princess requests her arrival. Sunshine needs to start making very important arrangements for the care of her kingdom while she is away on this most important errand. Furthermore, Sunshine must meet with her private secretary and make sure that all appointments on her calendar have been cleared.

Ah, but she does have one trick up her sleeve. It's Princess D! Yes, Princess D is a most willing and able princess. She will care for the palace and all the residents therein. Princess D will request of her prince to tend the grounds and all the animals of the kingdom. It is a most laborious task but Princess Sunshine depends on these two amazing assistants. Princess D has never let her down in the past and she is pretty confident that this will be no exception. After all, there is a new prince about to make his arrival!!!

So, yeah, there's my job for today! Get the car ready (not going to wash it because . . . . wait for it . . . . THE RAINS ARE COMING!) and start clearing the calendar. My grandson is on his way and I'm a most excited Granny Jo!

The most desired outcome of all is that Princess Sunshine will arrive well before the arrival of the little prince. She will be able to journey with the pretty princess while the little new prince makes his arrival. She will be able to love and support the princess in her difficult task. Princess D will be able to care for the castle of Sunshine far away without incident and all in the land will live happily ever after!
