Never ever had tofu. Not gonna do it. Its the principle of the thing. If I want protein, I will eat steak,chicken, fish, or ham. I see no need for tofu...
This has been quite a week. Very busy and the coming week even moreso with parent teacher conferences, among other things....
Yesterday was Nathan's double header of basketball. My parents came, Dan's parents came and Dan came for the second game straight off his flight from Canada. Right after the game kids and I drove to the giant pumpkin patch near here (30 min away)...my parents and my sister and her husband joined us, as did my aunt. It is the aunt who was living with my grandma and uncle, then grandma died three years ago, and uncle died in August. So I think she gets lonely, we wanted her to come and she did.
Today is Dan's day to have the kids after church until tomorrow morning. He texted 3 times while I was in bible study for an hour before church. I checked afterward and it was kind of weird. The first text was from 9:45 "Going do mc ds" I assume mc donalds...not sure if he was trying to invite us there or what, why do I need to know this?
Then a text that asked me to please feed the kids after church and he would come get them after that. Then a third asking if he could borrow my basketball hoop for a while this afternoon to practice with Nathan. Well, he doesn't have one and I really don't care, so fine.
I replied about an hour after he sent them, and just told him that was fine, I was leaving at 1:15 and would be out for the afternoon... (I had a massage and it was awesome!)
He came around 1:05, I said use the bikes and the basketball stuff, whatever you need, and I headed out. Some would call it cake eating but you know we are nowhere near together so at this point what is best for my kids is best for me. And letting him come to my house means Nathan got to play basketball and Sydney got to ride her bike.
I got out of my massage and had a few more missed texts from Dan. (I had left our pumkins out on the front step and told him he could carve them w/the kids at his place tonight since I suck at carving pumpkins.) Well, he texted that the kids would like to carve pumpkins together this evening. Then said he would be glad to buy pizza for dinner. Then--as I had not replied--said, "If you are game."
So it was again about an hour or so later and I replied, "sounds fine" and left it at that. Hey if the kids like it it's fine with me.
I went home and finished cleaning the living room FINALLY so I could finish putting up the rest of the Halloween decor. Kids had been grumping and I was running out of time. They showed up around 6:45 with pizza, they ate while I ate my food and then we went down in the basement to carve pumpkins. Sydney's was great but Nathan's got screwed up as his Star Wars stencil was too complex.
He pouted but then Dan said he would buy another pumpkin and do a new stencil for him tomorrow night. Then I had them get their pjs on and they headed out. It was a pretty nice day. Now I get to enter 3 months of checking into quicken. Want to get caught up before the end of the year is here...
