Yeah, I Needed That

Yes, I was due and it felt good.  I took off a couple of extra days this past week to give myself a four day weekend.  I have traditionally done this for a chance to spend some extra time with the kids during their Spring break.  I did get a bit of that, but of course they are so busy now...the big boys all grown, Girlie Girl an extreme social butterfly, and Handsome Lad, currently busy being Dad's Lad :-)  [Side note here: since WTG's been out of work, he has been the most attentive and fun dad in the world to Handsome Lad.  Honestly, the fun never stops over there.  It is nice for Handsome Lad, but I can't compete.]

Fishing with dad!

Anyway, I had that time off in any event and I was happy to get to spend a good part of it with DR.  He came over Wednesday evening and we spent Thursday together.  He had to go to work Friday, but he came back that evening.  I even cooked dinner, which for me has become a bit rare.  Like, I heat things up and I defrost, but actual cooking...not so much.  Saturday we went out to a screening of A Day at the Races.  I now have a crush on the Marx Brothers, circa 1937. 

Sunday was quiet.  DR had to work, but Girlie Girl was back from her little San Diego trip, so she and I got to catch up a bit.  Also, I took Handsome Lad to get a couple of used video games.  Of course his dad took him to a premiere of Kick-Ass, featuring the stars of the movie, live and in person.  As I said, I can't compete.  *sigh*  Handsome Lad is happy, though, and that is what counts.  And mostly, I am happy too.  I feel as good as I can about the family stuff .  Plus, I feel loved in a way that I really never have, with DR in my life.

I hope you all had good weekends too.  Now, let's go show this week who's who and what's what!
