Just checking in

Hey,

Again, I'm short on time; we've been gone literally all day, just walked in the door and are now headed out to a friend's 40th. I didn't think we would go, but J says he's up for it; I think it's probably good for us to go out, just the two of us. As a family (M too!), we went down to the little local street festival this morning, then on to the mall where we dropped off M to meet his friend-who's-not-a-girlfriend. She was in the mall's back-to-school fashion show so he stood around looking cool while she did that, then they went school clothes shopping together. How cute is that? J and JJ and I shopped around, then went to Costco and we're now finally back home. It was a really nice day out with the kids so I don't feel bad about going to J&S's this evening (and maybe we won't stay long, but sneak out to go have a quiet drink together.)

I loved your post about S, what a precious relationship. But why did you say, "God must think I'm a moron"? I read that and re-read it and I didn't get it. The hugs and kisses are my favorite things of all.

Sorry to be short but I didn't want to write nothing at all. I'll try to get caught up tomorrow. Glad to hear you had such a good weekend, and that L's got better too.

Love,
A

P.S. The prime rib was amazing, and I should know, I ate enough of it [ pig snort noise ]
