This had to be one of the best holiday weekends I’ve had in a while. Both my kids were home with us and for the most part, they were around all weekend, hanging with me and my man.
It was nice not having to go to work and having to somehow work in the holiday preparation time. Thursday, we all met up at my parents but unfortunately, my niece and her family could not make it this year. She’s pregnant and restricted to bed rest. We missed her very much. My sister in law had shingles and so she could not make it either. All in all, it was a fun time even though my father’s dr. jekyl and mr. hyde persona was present through out.
All the little extended nieces and nephews ( I hate the word great nieces and nephews, just sounds too awkward), were there and its always fun to see how they’ve grown since the last reunion. It was great all around though some tend to bitch about the inconvenience, the majority of us, are happy to see everyone.
The rest of the weekend was spent with our own kids. Shopping and a movie with Sharon, talking to Thaniel and just catching up on things, having Thaniel and his friends over, all of us on computers at the same time, and on and on…….
We took Thaniel out to celebrate his 21st birthday. He chose his favorite restaurant and I had the waitress bring out some desserts for his birthday. Thai desserts…..lots of fun.
OMG, I just cannot believe he’s 21 already. Having the two of them in the back of the car this weekend carrying on where they left off when they were little kids….had Ed and I laughing. Thaniel disconnecting sharons calls while she’s talking on the cell or txting someone, Sharon screaming at him, the two of them smacking each other in jest. It certainly warmed my heart because we were all smiling or laughing at the scene. Thaniel asking “are we there yet?” in his little boy voice. Too hard to resist saying, “we’ll be there when we get there.”
I cooked on and off over the weekend and made some new things I had wanted to try out. Some a disaster but two that were definitely good. Dropped Thaniel off at JFK this morning to return to school and Sharon to her apartment. All in all it was truly fun but now I have a nasty head cold. I am so thrilled not to have work tomorrow. However, I do have classes that I must attend to. I don’t want to miss out on getting my midterm back in Anatomy.
The kids did get a nasty kick out of my second life involvement. We definitely had a good laugh over many of the things that have happened to me in SL. Its so strange to find them not understanding the fun I am having there. It doesn’t interfere with my RL and I do NOT spend hours on it. Oh well, que cera, cera!
