How I can tell that Jessica is "home".

From the most obvious to least:

1) Buster cannot rest. He faces the door with one eye open even when Dan & I are both watching TV.

2) There are never fewer than 3 full boxes of cereal in the cereal cabinet.

3) There is a gym bag in the entry way.

4) I have to watch for her car when I back out of the garage.

5) There is a Toshiba computer on the couch. Hmmm wonder where THAT came from!

6) There are neon note cards with vocabulary words on them in a baggie on the couch. She is taking the GRE in 10 days for the third time. Pray for her.

7) I begin to go through serious with drawl when she hasn't been home in two days :)
