Today was laid-back. Sydney and I hung out at home while her brother had a 'grandpa' day with FIL. I mowed while Sydney played in the yard, we wound up with 7 kids in the backyard on the playset. She is such a social butterfly!
I was cutting her some watermelon for lunch and the knife slipped through the rind and I cut a gash in my middle finger tip. It is still throbbing 9 hours later...worried I needed stitches but it stopped bleeding. Just hurts like heck!
MIL came and got Sydney at 6:30 to meet up with Dan, Nathan and FIL for dinner. They spent the evening at MIL/FIL house.
I was determined to go out but once I headed out I had no desire to go to the city...was going to go buy a few cute new shirts for my back-to-school wardrobe. So instead I just drove around town (after talking to my cousin on the phone until 8) and tried to process some things, gear myself up for the aftermath of Dan's meeting his lawyer on Friday.
Dan called me at 8:30, when I got home I saw he had called home first, then my cell. The big need? Apparently Sydney told him she couldn't go to preschool. So he called me at 8:30 just to ask, "Can Sydney not go to preschool? She said you told her she couldn't..."
I just laughed and said, "She can't TODAY." She had been asking me to go and I told her it didn't start for 2 weeks. She has no clue how long 2 weeks is...
Seriously. I can't believe he called to ask me if she really couldn't go to preschool. He knew I registered the kids Monday bc I told him I was listing his renovation house as his address on the paperwork since he didn't live with me anymore, I wasn't leaving my address for his contact info.
So anyway that was random. He was kind of hanging on the phone so I said, "Yep, she can go to preschool. Bye."
Anyway I drove around a little longer and found a dark spot to watch the meteor shower. Saw 4 'shooting stars' so that was cool. Got home and he was already there with the kids getting them ready for bed.
Just dawned on me I could have spent the evening fishing by myself...dang!
