For the Guy with Kids and a WW Vinte (20)

[hopeful4her]

Took the girls to donate some canned goods. K is volunteering for the Food Bank at a local Krispy Kreme. Got 3 coupons for a free doughnut and 2 coupons for a dozen free doughnuts. Used the two free ones for the girls already.

Went to the Dollar Store for a few things for Thursday then on to the grocery store. The wife called AGAIN. Asked where we were. I told her we were at the grocery store. She told me that she had gotten the turkey already, so not to worry about that. Went over a couple more things for the menu. She said that she was on her way out to the little store to get some more "masa" for the tamales before they closed. She had just finished cooking the meats.

I was talking to the girls and I was saying that they couldn't get some kind of $3 pomengranite I think, and the wife tells me how she got some grapes and oranges and stuff. I told her how I give them grapes and apples for their lunches that they want me to make for them. Then, she starts to tell me that she just ate a frozen pizza. Wolfed it down.

"A whole one?" I asked.
"Yup. I still feel it in my throat."

She then asked to talk to the girls. We finished shopping and just got home.

Her comment that you mentioned, Beej, was made a long time before she even moved out. Before she even got sick last year, I think.

Went to church today. The thing on Friday will be at N's house with her kids, P and her H and kids, the other P, who just had the barbeque last weekend and her kids, and B and her D13. I don't think K is going because kids drive her nuts. Her youngest is 16. A gathering they have been doing for a few years now. We used to all get together, including the wife and I, for stuff like that all the time. We used to have a big New Years party here at my place most years. Big booming fireworks and all. Gonna do it again this year.

And I'll have the girls with me.

And in a bit, I plan on having a killer bbq. Beef ribs, the girls and wife's fave, homemade potato salad, some corn and tea. It might be ready just before she comes to pick up the girls.

Not that I would plan it that way.
