A Little Time On My Hands

"I can't BELIEVE how fast my week off has gone! It's almost over!"
"GOOD!"
"Wha-? Will? Why are you being mean?"
"I'll come home tonight and you'll have bought a guinea pig."

Look, I don't see what's so bad about having some time off and going shopping to soothe the soul.
I had a pretty rough year: try teaching 7th graders during the day, who act like toddlers, and then come home to your own toddler. There isn't a lot of change up. But, I am a believer in LETTING THINGS GO.
Be quiet Will.
And so as I ease into summer before I begin teaching summer school I have found solace and peace in shopping.
Everyday.
Keegan now has four outfits to choose from for his Aunt's wedding in July. All types of weather have been noted. Khaki shorts, khaki pants, mid-sleeve shirt, short sleeve shirt, oh you get the picture and it probably all has to go back...

Keegan has a 4th of July outfit, which was such a good deal at Target I couldn't pass it up, even though it looks like an American flag and I am not sure that Will will let him wear it. Because he will look like a little pea that someone wrapped in an American flag and we just aren't THAT patriotic.

Each cat now has his own bed for the basement and the beds came with a free supply of catnip..I had to throw the catnip out because Sylvester found the stash dragged it across the floor and snorted it until he was as high as Al Pacino in Scar Face..and now I have to take him down to Hazelden to dry out for a month..this is extremely invconvenient and expensive..

I bought a little decorative flag for the yard that Will hates and says it looks like a quarantine flag posted outside, so I took it down reluctantly this morning..but am pretty sure I will put it up again this afternoon before he gets home. I happen to think it's pretty..but this could be the "too much time on my hands" talking...

I have been to Costco and purchased 45 cookies of varying flavors, 1000 Cascade tabs, another summer outfit for Keegan that looks like something he would wear on a safari IF we choose to do that..you know, WE MIGHT SOMEDAY.. and ALMOST got a Key Lime Pie that looked DELICIOUS but realized I am the only who likes Key Lime Pie and since I am trying to be skinny for above sister-in-law's wedding, I put it back. The pie could feed the neighborhood and I am still mad at Ernesto for the moles and the loud music so I wouldn't share.
I will just nibble on the cookies.

I have managed to only go through TWO bottles of wine and it's Thursday so AT LEAST I have not become a raging alcoholic in my week off...However, I wonder if Will is wishing that I would have just stayed home and drank myself into a stupor..

You know, as I have been sitting here typing I am starting to think that maybe Keegan does need a pet of his own, so I will probably just nip on over to the Pet Store and see if I can't just pick out a nice gerbil or something before I get him from daycare this afternoon..

Oh I am kidding!
But with one cat away at treatment, the house is going to be kind of lonely.
It's probably good I have a job.
