A Bunch of Stuff
I missed a blogging night, I am such a slacker. I’m just barely squeezing in the time to post this tonight. Yesterday was my oldest daughter’s birthday party, which went very well. My house somehow ended up cleaner than it started. In the end, my younger daughter was invited to sleep over at a friend’s house. My oldest stayed with her aunt and it was just me and the little guy. Of course as I settle in to watch TV for once (me watching anything other than Nick, CN, or the Disney Channel is just rare) and my little man is way bored. Damn the History Channel and all the incredibly interesting programs that I miss.
Instead my son whipped me in darts, I ran the batteries dead in his RC car trying to “ramp it” in the living room, and then I ditched my nightly blogging habit to watch “The Empire Strikes Back” with him. He of course had to wake me up once it finished and we went to bed.
I felt kind of weird all day knowing that my kids were all at different places. They all made it back home later. My sister-in-law, hubby and niece (granddaughter) stayed over for quite a while this evening too.
My wife’s new roommate was picked up today for an outstanding warrant. She had to take care of his son this evening. She mentioned that the hearings for his trial (apparently he had beaten someone up last year) had all been postponed, but they still arrested him. I bought that initially then realized that he must have missed something, otherwise you don’t have warrants issued against you. I briefly entertained the idea of posting bail for him and then I slapped myself silly and managed to remain quiet...
Tonight was a whirlwind of keeping my printer working for my STB brother-in-law for his resumes, making dinner, playing darts, Star Wars Monopoly (we didn’t finish though), PS2 Snowboarding game, a couple rounds of Twister (don’t play this on a tile floor, FYI), and then a bunch of laundry and “get your stuff ready for tomorrow”, “Brush your teeth”, “Yes, I did say to pick that stuff up!”, and we might actually have a few kids asleep in a few minutes if I’m at all lucky.
Otherwise, hopefully my son will wake me up later and escort me from the couch to my bed.

omg! You were actually gonna bail your x's friend out of jail? get over here and let me slap you! you're worst than me in the "softie" department! -grin-
I think slapping yourself silly works as good therapy for you! LOL. Waaaayyyy better than bailing out a stranger. Take a lesson from a known pleaser and nurturer....STOP! Ok...so i'm glad you're thinking clearly and you had a wonderful weekend. Too bad you're such a guy that you can't see past the girly spa stuff. You need a nice good massage...with some good aromatherapy. You'd walk out feeling soooooo relaxed. :)
Okay, I should mention that I only briefly entertained the thought, I wasn't about to actually bail him out.
I suppose even the thought deserves a good smack though.
A massage sounds much better... I just don't ever see doing so on my own. If I don't have my kids, do have extra time, and a little extra cash, I doubt I'd find myself at a spa.
Maybe, just maybe, I'll light a candle or something...
I love how you think your such a slacker for missing a night. Sometimes I go days before realizing I have a blog to maintain! :-P
And what is worse is that I fall behind reading everybody else's blogs. *ugh* I have to stop being so lazy! :-)
