As I was driving home from work this afternoon, for some reason, I began crying like a baby over this mess. Some say this is actually quite healthy, but I digress. Anyways, during the middle of all this, my W called and said "the kids and I want to take you to dinner for your birthday." She wanted to know what time I was coming home from work. I was floored, God is playing mind tricks on me!
After a quick workout at the gym, the family and I went to Chili's for dinner. I selected something low key and my son loves the place. This was very fun for me and definitely lifted my spirits. Of course, the W said the kids were actually taking me out and not her. I let her have her way. We all had fun, even the W. The "kids" gave me a birthday card and a golf gift certificate. It was nice.
When we arrived home from dinner, ice cream was served as dessert. The kids got their baths and all of the packing for our respective vacations was finished. It was a nice way to finish the day. I thanked the W and said she made me very happy. She smiled. It's the small stuff, right?
It's time to go to bed. Our flight leaves at 8:00 a.m.
To all a good night. May our prayers be answered.
