I'm sitting at my desk when I really should be working and I'm enjoying a brief moment of quiet. Only too soon I'm going to have to fire up the truck and drive down to the school to pick up the munchkins so they don't have to walk home in the soaking rain. By "have to" I mean "want to be nice to the little vermin." If Butch were home he'd make them walk. "It's good for them!" But the mommy in me wants to go. Today at least. Not always. But today I want to.
The last three days were a whirlwind of madness and Firsts!!
First Movie Date with a girl since I was 20 (or younger!!). She was a friend, and not related or married to me!! It was great. We chatted about boys, and our sex lives and all sorts of naughtiness that girls talk about when grown up boys and/or children aren't present. I can't remember the last time I did that!!
First Couples date with Butch -- ever!! Ok - so first time for us going out with a couple that wasn't related to us. We went to Applebees w/ Little Jen & Ben. We didn't even get there until 8pm and we spent a delightful 2 hrs doing it. Our conversation ranged from everything from raising kids to tweaker neighbors to guns to their old haunted house. All in all a freakin awesome night!!
First Shopping for The FAMILY O 7 all by myself! I made one trip through Super Wallyworld for all the basics for dinners. I was working on penny pinching and going to go to the $1 store and the Bread Store and other cheapo discount places. And than I changed my mind and just went back in Wallyworld for Round 2 and got it all there.
First Time I met my Brothers' Mommy. I got a call the minute I put the last bag of groceries from the 2nd trip to Wallyworld in the car. His gma was on her last breath and he was in Salem at her place (from San Fran where he lives) and can I come? And of course. I did.
