I was feeling great this morning. I got up at 6am (I didn't know those were still around) and went out to breakfast with my mom and met her new boyfriend. He's really nice and funny, which is a change from every man I've seen her with since my parents got divorced 20 years ago. Then I went and took pictures of all the pretty leaves. I went to Target for some unknown reason and saw a zippered sweatshirt that was on clearance. I texted my mom to ask if I should get it. She said yes, but I told her that I feel bad spending other people's money and could it be an early Christmas present. She left me a voicemail saying not to worry about it, just get it, and it's not a birthday present. I almost started crying right there in the store. I felt so lucky and so unworthy at the same time. Sometimes I catch my self thinking that I don't deserve the wonderful, crazy family that I have and it's times like these that remind me of that.
