Girl Time

About to head out to pick up Gracie and Kizzie Kae! We think we're going to see a movie, but we have no idea what to see, because, between us, we've seen every movie on the planet. Oh, Missa's coming too!

She and her boyfriend, Ben, are going through a rough patch. I know they'll work it out. They always do. So I now have Mom and Serena in the guest bedroom and Missa on the couch... It's gonna be super weird when everyone leaves and Joel and I have the place to ourselves again.

Mom is thinking about going back to school. I think it's an awesome idea. I think it'd be great for her self-esteem. She needs to get out there and meet people. Not necessarily guys. She hasn't had the chance to make many friends since she's been out here. She sometimes talks with the lady downstairs, Anne, and they've had coffee a couple times. Anne has one grown-up son, who no longer lives with her but visits a couple times a week, and is very talkative. A genuinely nice lady. I've told Mom to invite her up for coffee sometime but I think Mom feels bad about inviting people into my home. Truth be told, I'd feel so much better if she did.
