Last night we had seven kids out on our playset. Good thing Dan built a big one! And I got to keep it...
So I am having a little miscommunication/confusion, possibly ambivalence thing going on. Gee that was pretty vague wasn't it?!
So Golf Guy texted me yesterday. He is the one from the birthday party last April, and the Luau a few weeks ago. My first REAL kiss in 2 years! As we had left things then, he said to let him know when I was free again and we could make plans to get together. I mentioned driving to Des Moines where he is, but he said he could come here. We texted a little (very little) last week just chit chat.
Well last night I am working on my son's class float for Homecoming. Very elaborate affair here...school out at 11 on Friday. Town shuts down at noon. Parade at 1:30 with about 3 floats per grade level K-6 and then floats for each grade 8-12. Also marching bands, business floats, class reunion floats, etc. Football game Friday night, the huge coronation ceremony Sat night to crown king and queen. They even have gift bearers/scroll bearers (kindergarten kids), pages (middle school kids), and attendants (high school kids from each grade). Like I said, big stuff. I kind of thought GG would come down for it since he is an alum, too.
Well instead he texts, "How about coming up here Friday night and staying for the Iowa State football game on Saturday night?"
I was taken aback because A)He said he would come back down here and B)That would be an overnight visit
When he comes here, he sleeps at his best friend's house, the guy who had the bday party. If I went up there, I do not have a best friend living in town to crash with! And I definitely do not want to give the impression that I am ready for a sleepover, because I am definitely not.
So I avoided replying while we worked on the float and went out to dinner with one of Nathan's friends and his parents. Was trying to figure out how to say, "Yes I would love to come visit for the day but do not want to sleep over."
And I got to keep it...
