Good morning. It was another super busy week with a new addition to the family.  We'll get to that later. For some reason on my last week, we couldn't get a hold of any of Mia's friends to hang, including Friday morning playgroup. No one came or was there :( Mia was so disappointed. I hope we can hang with them this week. We do have a playdate with her BFF Olivia set up Wednesday at 10am so we're stoked about that. My 32nd birthday is coming up this weekend. I'm off on the Saturday, but will be working on the Sunday of my birthday. Why? I don't need the day off. As long as I have Saturday with whomever wants to spend time with me, that's totally fine. I do have a 12pm leader meeting with The Flood, The Milwaukee Torrent's supporters group. Basically, we need to come up with ideas for merch, discuss steps to getting the store set up and how to handle orders and other important details. It's pretty exciting being a part of this brand new team. It's already and honor having my design be the actual kit they're wear at games. I designed and finished the goalkeeper kit over the weekend. The owner loves it, so I assume the keeper's will be wearing that as well.

Saturday, Mia took all of the 251.22 that she raised at her lemonade sale and donated it to HAWS. She was so very proud of herself. The HAWS staff was pretty surprised that this little girl was able to raise so much money. And then we looked at all the animals. Mia had her eyes on an all-white kitten. I would have preferred the the agreement that we waited the 2 weeks we promised Mia a kitten if she stayed in her own bed at night, but since Jill said that this cat probably won't be here long, we adopted her. She's very playful, feisty and curious. She nips a bit at times with us and Mia (which she of course doesn't like) but hopefully she'll get used to it. I remember when my cat back home was tiny and did the same thing. They grow out of it. It's weird having a cat again. Last night, she started out sleeping in Mia's bed with her, but moved in by us and pouncing on the bed the rest of the night.  Mia has a phone interview today at 10:30am from the local paper about her recent Mia's Sweets & Treats success. Tomorrow, we have vet appts for both animals so I'll have that challenge to look forward to. I think Jill's parents are coming in this weekend to visit for my birthday. Sunday I work. No big deal. Maybe my day at work for my birthday won't be an insane mess. Thanks for reading!
