This crappy rainy weather is doing nothing to improve my mood. Took Jables to the airport today for the first of 10 flights he has in the next 11 days: home, Chicago, Tokyo, Manila, Cebu, back to Manila, Beijing, Dalian, Tokyo, Chicago, home.
Boo was able to resist and get some crocheting done. She wins for most productive day.
Yes, I was bummed. I actually like him. And I don’t mean the typical, “I love you but I don’t like you.” I like him and I hate being away from him. (Gag, barf, puke, I know.) I was a little weepy as I pulled away, which was super-helpful as I drove through the steady rain. I was nearly home when I got a call from a strange number. I decided I had better answer it and it was Jables. He had left his phone in my car. I think he just wanted another kiss. ;)
I got to turn around and drive back to the airport. Yay! I gave Jables his phone, got another kiss and drove home where I managed to accomplish these things:
1. Made the kids a warm and nutritious breakfast of toaster waffles and Flintstones chewables.
2. Took a nap.
3. Dragged the kids to the grocery store and bought them a nutritious meal of Wal-Mart popcorn chicken and potato wedges. It was a throw-back to the old days when I used to bribe them with that meal.
4. Put the groceries away.
5. Took another nap (There was a cat on my lap. It was mandatory.)
6. Shuffled the kids to and from their practices.
7. Spent 30 minutes on the treadmill.
8. Made a real dinner: spaghetti, homemade meatballs and salad. (Actual green food.)
9. Watched part of the Grammy’s and had some ice cream with Magic Shell.
10. Cleaned up the kitchen and edited some photos.
11. Bored you with this post.
I think that today was an all-around victory. Even KJ fell prey to the cat-napping monster.
