I have been taking my son and my spouse to my in-laws for the weekends this summer so I can accomplish a few goals. My son has fun, my spouse has to spend quality time with him, he gets to see more of his cousins, he gets to sleep over grandma and grandpa’s house, and I get some peace on the weekends!
Single gay guy, alone on a Saturday night in the city. Woo Hoo! Here’s how it went down. I called service and waited for the plumber to unclog my bathtub (this is not a porno movie set-up, just a lot of hair clogging the drain!). Then I moved furniture as I needed to open up some hiding places for extra shoes I bought for the next 2 sizes up for my son. Then I had to collect pictures for my various blog slide shows. woo hoo. notice the lower case.
With the boys out of town, I can start a job and not finish it till the next day. This is where the line blurs between dad blogger and whiny housewife! Although, I did get to watch the HBO premiere of Terminator Salvation. Whew, the butchness comes back. When the boys are home it is hard to start a movie before 10 pm, and then it is hard to stay awake. Not this weekend!
So here’s the catch – my son went to the movies without me! I was trying to schedule Despicable Me and he went and saw it with his other dad! No! This from the man who had to fight with himself the day before, I was almost going to catch up on a Penguins of Madagascar episode without my son! Needless to say my son loved the movie, quotes some evil lines from it, and I am left out! “Tomorrow I am going to steal the moon!”
I really do enjoy my time alone. I love my family, but I do have a huge apartment to take care of and a blog to coordinate. During the school year I will not have this extra time, so now’s my chance. When camp is over in 2 weeks I will no longer have any time! Then I become the counselor!
Feel free to leave a message on how boring this post is, then you will have a window into my life!
No complaints, just hum drummity!
