It's already been a long day and an extra long week. Gavin and I just got home from grocery shopping today and we actually did pretty good. We ended up about six dollars under budget, and that's always a good thing. Gavin did pretty good as well. He did have a few episodes though but he's okay now.

Gavin's truly the sweetest kid, and I couldn't be any prouder of him. At the same time, he's been driving me crazy (yes, I know that's a short trip). I love him dearly but he will not stop talking.
