Addendum to the previous entry:
The coolest part was actually when I got home. Tom had cleaned most of the house and throw out all the junk mail collecting on the kitchen counters. It was so nice to come home tired to such a beautiful sight. I was pooped so I tried to nap but couldn't sleep for more than a half hour.

oh, I think the ouija board was just coming out then. I luckily passed out on the couch at 12, was woken up at 1, was up til about 2:30, fell asleep again until about 6, and here you have it.
SO effin tired -- and to think, I don't think many of the girls went to sleep before 4.
*yawn*
No thrid wind?
