Well, we are a week into the new year. Now that my girls have returned to their respective homes in the East, I am going to throw myself body and soul into cleaning, organizing and de-cluttering my  house. (Here’s an article on Purging the Pantry.)

Because daughter #2 wanted me to keep up the tree and all the Christmas decorations for the BF when he visited, I am way behind in putting away all things Christmas. Oy.

But as I say every year, all this cleaning keeps my mind off my personal pity party. How about you? How do you deal with the ‘Mean Reds’?

Daughter #2 breezed into town last Tuesday and we had a wonderful time together. We shopped “small” in Kirkwood. We tried a trendy new restaurant in a converted gas station in a hipster south STL neighborhood. The food was amazing.

We caught up with her old buddy who came over for dinner. (Daughter #2 cooked.)

We over-ate at the boy’s house with his in-laws on Thanksgiving and then watched Planes, Trains and Automobiles together. This picture really says it all.

We watched one of our favorite movies together. Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Perfect.

And then it was time for her to return to Maryland.

Will I ever learn to take these farewells in stride? I doubt it.
