A long week

Here I sit, once again shaking my head in disbelief at another TV show I never thought I'd watch --- "Family Guy". Son #2 is hee- hawing his head off (as does Son #1 when he watches it). I don't think I've ever seen a full episode. I must be missing something in my brain because I -- just -- don't -- get -- it. Not at all. There has got to be some secret signal that only the male mind can hear emitting from the TV. Or only a body with tons of testosterone.
Tomorrow we go see Daughters #2 & #3 and listen to them sing. I can't wait to see them.
Son #1 has reported that Jovie (a.k.a."Thank God it's not a Tattoo") has been doing wonderfully since she left. She's quite happy to be an "only " kitten. Too bad I'm taking Colbie with us. Jovie better get over herself before spring break.
Daughter #1 asked if this was what it was like when we brought Daughters #2 & #3 home. I said, "Pretty much". :)
Oh, and the "don't stand in my way when I've made up my mind" comment refers to the speed at which I act once a decision has been reached. Jim & I were at opposite ends of the pole in that way. I could, and often would, make up my mind about something quickly and then want to move on it and go on to the next thing. He could ponder something for months before making a decision. In the early years of our marriage we sometimes drove each other nuts. And then we adjusted and learned from each other. I'm sure I learned much more from him.
I miss him. So. Much.
Thank you to my friends for today. For the movie. For the time. For the dinner. For the e-mails. For the cards. For the comments. For the delivery. For sitting with me tonight.
How do people go through something like this without friends like mine? I couldn't. No way.
If there's not a post tomorrow don't worry --- I'm hanging out at college.
