Best Sistah night EVER

So I totally ditched on my keystone chicas in lieu of a night out with tiamia before her work drudgery begins. ANd boy was it worth it!! I feel like a new woman today. Part of it is the high of retail therapy, part of it was just the fun of being with someone that I am so like and yet so different and there is so much love there that everything is fun when we are together. Which is why I married her brother because I feel the same way about him!
Anyway, we headed to our fave shopping spot to shop and eat and where a heavenly menagerie of ridiculous sales awaited us. Now, let me digress by saying there are two types of stay at homers. One group does because they want to and partner makes bank and so little to no sacrifice. The other group is college educated or close, and stay home because it is best for their littles but not so easy on the budget. I fall in the latter category. And let me preface by saying every sacrifice is so worth it and I would not change a thing about my life and pompey provides so amazingly well for us in every area but still, if I worked there would be more. That is just the reality of it.
Tiamia on the other hand, just moved up to the eastside (hear the jeffersons theme song playing) and is solita and so....the fun began. She kept picking out all this stuff for me and although it was incredibly cheap, it would have meant not staying on budget which I am wholeheartedly committed to, even when faced with the prospect of darling outfits and accessories, I just could not buy. But oh no. Sistah girl insisted that I have it on her pocketbook. Her justification was that she eats at our house on a regular basis and could not repay in food or cooking so this is her way. Well, Martha could not dare argue with that. My cooking is fabulous and I do fill her to the gills and then make her workout with me every weekend and then bake all the fattening things I won't eat for her and pompey to enjoy so yeah, ok. You can buy me that!!!
It was the best night ever!! Then we had soup and I got to practice my spanish in a restaurant and then we windowshopped and purchased until we could walk no more. Or maybe all the stores were closing? Anyway, it was fun.
We then proceeded to target where I had to pull mama duty and buy diapers, yogurt, milk, the essentials and was so thankful I didn't have to go cloth for the week because of my overspending. Yet still was going home with some amazing new pieces. Holy cow. Talk about feeling like life is perfect.
But wait, there's more.
I get home, put away groceries, check in on all the littles, model my new clothes, then climb in to bed to find a note under my pillow. I open the envelope and it says this...
momo
hab u god slep
i luv u
translation, Mama have a good sleep. I love you

It was from Notorious. I nearly cried. Then I framed it this morning and put it my bed.
Of all the things that money CAN buy, THAT is not one of them... and it is more precious to me than cashmere, and if you know me, you know I do love cashmere...but I love the note more!
