And what a weekend it has been!!! Wednesday the office closed early which was nice. Of course the train was crowded as hell, but at least I managed to get on it. Had to stand the whole way but I didn't mind. The kids were with their dad Wednesday night so I was able to relax and watch t.v.
Turkey Day I got up early and baked an apple pie. Yummy! We went to my grandparents and I got to see my Packers win so that was a definite bonus! Tristan, being Tristan, slipped on the kitchen floor and cracked his head on the china cabinet. Immediate lump and bleeding, but no stitches required luckily. Cass ended up staying at her dad's that night, so Tristan and I came home and watched t.v.
Believe it or not, he and I woke up at 3:00 in the morning to go shopping. I couldn't believe how chipper he was! It wasn't as bad as it's been in years past. Probably because I used to go to WalMart and have since decided to boycott that establishment. It was actually a pleasant shopping experience. And I got some great deals! We were home by 5 and I went straight back to bed. Tristan stayed up playing PlayStation so he was tired the whole day.
Cass went to the movies Friday night with her friends so Tristan and I ended up watching movies. We bummed around in our p.j.'s all day and that was, well, pretty boring. We did rent Nanny McPhee and that was a really cute movie.
Today I woke up early and started cleaning. I've been doing my Sudoku puzzles again so that's been fun. I dropped Cass off at her girlfriend's house and then Tristan and I headed out to Indiana to my girlfriend Tina's house. She's going through a rough time and is back living with her parents. She and I met my 8th grade year and I haven't seen her since high school. We lost contact for a long time and just recently found each other again. It's really nice to have friends that you've known for that long. Anyway, Tristan and I went out to her house and he had fun playing with her boys. Then my other friend who lives out that way met us at her house and the six of us went for pizza. I told them I'd lead the way and of course got myself lost. Actually, I just decided to take us all on the scenic route ;-). The pizza was good....three adults and three boys under the age of 8....we probably scared the other patrons in the restaurant! Then we went to see Enchanted. That was a really cute movie. Yes, it's a Disney movie and yes, it was pretty predictable. But you know what I decided? I do still believe in true love and I do still believe in Prince Charming and I do still believe in fairytales and in happy endings. And I'm totally ok with that.
I talked with my girlfriend Dawna today and she said something that I really needed to hear. She told me that I'm doing the right thing. Shit, it's been so long since somebody's said that to me. It's rough when you can't trust your instincts anymore and you question your judgment. I can only remember one other time in my life when I've felt this foggy about things. I just don't want to become the person that I became after I got out of that fog. But I think I'll be ok this time. I'm going to believe in my dreams and keep my mouth shut and listen to my inner voice.
And now I must go. I have four teenagers upstairs that need me keeping an eye on them, although from the sounds of Cass yelling I'm pretty sure Tristan is doing a good job at that!
