Today was an unexpected pleasure during a hectic week.
Ash kept asking me if her dad had called (I thought that was strange) but no, he never called. She had called him last night to see if he was going to take her out tonight.
I had a day with nothing pressing to do. Unusual at this time of year. When I got out of the shower I heard voices and suddenly there were a number of guys in the house (all workers due to our reno). Ash was downstairs in her pjs and non too impressed. Next I knew I was told the water was going to be turned off! So I invited Ash out for the day since she was bummed about no date with Dad. Mom NEVER gets a day out with her.
So we went out of town and shopped and had a wonderful lunch together. I did remind her that her cel phone was broken (she put it through the wash) so maybe that was why her dad didn't call. She assured me that she had made that clear in her VM to him last night.
Anyway, we got a great break from the noise, mess, smell and hassle of construction and it was good to be away when there was no water anyway.
When we got back there was a message from her dad. If she didn't call him back he would be here at 5:30. Which was in 5 min! GEEZ! She called him back and asked if he had got her message. yes. But he didn't really listen and hadn't caught the part about the no cel phone. Dummy!
Anyway, it was nice to spend the day with my daughter. Tonight doing crafts and maybe watch a movie. Don't do that often enough either.
