you bring peace to midnight

I have had a great few days. Work was fantastic this week, busy restaurant, happy customers.
Home has been wonderful. The kids have been with me this weekend. We spent the day yesterday getting prepared to adopt a cat from the SPCA. We brought mia home late yesterday afternoon and she promptly hid so well that it took us half an hour to find her. She hasn't really come out of hiding yet and i am second guessing the whole rescuing an adult cat thing. We shall see. It's not exactly a clam and soothing house, more like total chaos followed by extreme sleep.
This morning we worked together to rake up the back yard and then went on a walk along the train tracks up to the village for lunch and ice cream cones. We feel happy. Happy to be together.
They are doing amazingly well. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, for the tears, for the questions. For now i am happy to just let this happiness sit for awhile.
I feel so much better, more whole, when they are around. Otherwise i sit alone long into the wee hours of the night. Pacing and thinking and making silly videos of myself singing along really loud and really badly to my favourite songs trying my hardest to avoid writing cryptic things on twitter or facebook.
