No shopping or massage...stupid thing. My big toe hurts. I mean, turn-your-stomach-hurts. My big toe. Not sure if it is infected or bruised from the boots I wore yesterday. But the pain kept me up most of the night, so I slept in today. Still got to get some stuff done, set up for dinner.
My ex is an a$$hole. He was going to be out with the kids this morning, and I asked him to drop them off as soon as possible so I could do something with them (we were going to do the town tree-lighting, but the rain changed plans to a movie). About an hour and a half later than I was hoping they would be home, he called and said they were at his house. He drove right past my house, then sat around for more than a half-hour before calling me. Argghhh.
Went down and got the kids, ended up getting it all in, anyway (saw Old Dogs, and it we all laughed hard). Great dinner the kids helped me with - salad, smoked ham, corn, broccoli, pineapple, mushrooms, sweet and white potatoes, crescent rolls and buschetta bread, sparkling cider. Good china and crystal, candles. In-laws came over, too - very nice night (weird having to drive them back to their father's), just went really fast. Squeezed a whole holiday into 4 hours. Makes me all the more grateful for the time that we do get to spend and connect.
