Thursday....where did the week go????

Alright now....no comments on this graphic! (Although truthfully, it is a perfect representation of myself....)

Today I spent the day with my husband. He took the day off, as well as tomorrow. He is one of those guys that never takes vacation time, and we decided that since he working his butt off without proper recognition, he is going to start enjoying the vacation time he has earned. He said to me this morning that he felt guilty being off because there are projects going on that he is involved in. I said, well, considering that this journal is rated PG-13, I can't type exactly what I said....but rest assured it was R-rated and completely appropriate!

So, after taking both Betsy and wee one to school (awwwww), he came home and took me out to breakfast. We went to a great new diner that, I must say, had the best french toast I have ever eaten! And it was a typical 1950's diner too....silver on the outside with the little windows, red and white glitter booths, black and white tile floors, stools and a "bar" at the front, and classic 1950's tunes playing. We have to go back and try their burgers because I just know they are going to be spectacular!

After that, we rode around a bit, taking in the sites and then headed to the phone store to get a new provider. We got a spectacular deal that was only $10 more than our old deal....plus 700 extra minutes and a line for Betsy! WooHoo....

Betsy had a poetry slam tonight at school. She was thrilled because over 50 kids showed up and it was a hit. She is president of the poetry club so she was a bit nervous about how it would all work out. They had coffee, cookies, pop, etc. Next week they have their end of the year bash. I think she will be sad because she is good friends with a lot of seniors and they will be leaving. Oh, to be young and carefree once again....lol.

Next week I was invited out fordinner by a *new friend*! Now, I may seem chatty and outgoing here, but in "real life" I have a few acquaintances, but only one or two real friends. Both of whom live back in Indiana/Illinois. So, this darling girl took pity on me and is dragging me out with some ladies from the neighborhood. (Her neighborhood, but I'll take what I can get!) Here is the thing....I'm a little nervous because in the 17 years I've been married....I've never gone out with friends alone without my husband. I can hear the gasps of amazement! It's not that he forbade me to do so (he would probably like me to leave sometimes). It's not that we are attached at the hip (although that would be a great explanation as to why my hips are so big). It's just that we have always done things together and as a family. He has done very few things with friends over the years, and when he has it is usually a motorcycle ride or helping someone move. So, this will be a new experience for me. I told Betsy about it and said to her, "Face it sweetie, your mommy is growing up!" She just rolled her eyes and left the room....apparently I'm not as funny as I originally thought.

I can't believe it's almost 9:00. I've got things to get done before bed so I'm taking my leave....have a good one!
