So far I've fallen asleep on the couch and had my cat cuddle up to me the entire night. (The cat who's been hiding out upstairs for the last 13 months). It was almost annoying but then I reminded myself that I've missed her company terribly and to just enjoy it. Shadow the shadow is back. Yay!

Today I went shopping unimpeded and spent almost 4 hours in Goodwill. How in the heck did that happen?! I've done some major decluttering lately and most of my clothes got pitched, so I have to restock. (I really have to stop with the retail therapy, even if it is thrift shopping. But I got some stylish Ralph Lauren, Lucky, and Gap jeans for a total of $15.50. How could I pass up that kind of a bargain?! Come on. ). I even found two books on parenting that should come in handy and one on learning to love yourself.

Friday is the worst. Once I get through Friday night I'm usually OK. On Thursday night I wish I could have some peace, but 24 hours later I wish they didn't have to leave.
