I am really relaxed for the first time since......???  It's been so long I forgot.  Having my upbeat, happy-go-lucky oldest son home has been sooo wonderful.  He's just a breath of fresh air. ...

Okay - my mission today is to work on me.  T-Man sneaked out of the house sometime last night -- I refuse to get worked up about it.  I will, obviously deal with it when he wakes, but I am not...
